Abstract
A solid-state image sensor, a transparent cover, a DSP, a wiring board and the like are sealed in a sealing portion by molding of a synthetic resin, and fixed to an imaging unit. At this time, a portion of the transparent cover is exposed from the sealing portion. The optical path fixing device and the imaging unit sealed by the sealing portion are fixedly combined by engagement of hook engaging portions and hook portions, in a state where the lower end surface of a lens barrel comes into contact with the exposed portion. As the result, positioning accuracy of a lens with respect to a pixel area of the solid-state image sensor dose not deteriorate even if a substrate on which the solid-state image sensor is arranged is deflected or distorted.
