Abstract
The present invention relates to an imaging unit including an imaging device for performing photoelectric conversion. There is provided an imaging unit with which the mechanical strength of an imaging device can be ensured while allowing light to pass through the imaging device so as to improve the usability in various operations using the imaging device. An imaging unit () includes a substrate (), a light-receiving portion () provided on the substrate (), an imaging device () configured to photoelectrically convert light received by the light-receiving portion () into an electric signal while light is allowed to pass through the imaging device (), and a glass substrate () bonded to the imaging device () and allowing light to pass therethrough.
