Abstract
A fiber optical blockhaving a light outputting end facewhich is tilted at a predetermined angle θ of an acute angle with respect to the optical axes of optical fibersand a solid-state image pickup deviceare provided, and the fiber optical blockis arranged so that, in terms of a light-receiving surface, the optical axes of the optical fibersare tilted at the predetermined angle θ toward a first sideout of four sides-. And, in the solid-state image pickup device, each of a plurality of electrode padsis provided on two outer peripheral portionsandadjacent to the first outer peripheral portion. Thus, an image sensing device which can favorably combine both the electrode pads and connection wires of the solid-state image pickup device and the fiber optical block tilted with respect to the light receiving surface can be realized.
