Abstract
Provided are a method for manufacturing an imaging device at low cost while ensuring easiness in manufacturing, and the imaging device. In the imaging device, a diaphragmcan be used as a diaphragm by insert molding a metal plate material MP in a transparent resin material which forms a lens, a diaphragm as a separate member is not required to be assembled, and troubles in assembly are eliminated. Further, a shield of an imaging element can be grounded by assembling a lens array LA to an imaging element array IA while making a leg sectionabut to an earth terminal T. Thus, wire connection by soldering is eliminated and troubles in assembly are eliminated.
