Abstract
An image pick-up elementis mounted on an element mounting partformed with a member whose thermal conductivity is higher than that of an element storing partInputting and outputting pinsfor electrically connecting the image pick-up element to a control circuit boardfor controlling the image pick-up element are provided in a direction that does not interfere with the contact part of the element mounting partand a heat absorbing mechanismThus, the thermal conductivity of the image pick-up element and the heat absorbing mechanism can be improved and the area of a heat absorbing part can be increased. As a result, the cooling capability of the element is increased so that the image pick-up element can be driven under a condition at higher speed than usual.
