Abstract
Provided is a highly reliable imaging module that can easily carry out optical axis adjustments and focus adjustments while assuring required light shielding performance, and in which malfunctions do not easily occur in solder junctions and the like for imaging elements even under severe temperature environments. An imaging module has, in addition to a lens holding member (), an imaging element (), and a substrate () on which the imaging element () is mounted, a shielding member () that is for preventing extraneous light from entering the imaging surface of the imaging element () and on which a ring-shaped or notched ring-shaped protrusion () for shielding is provided. The shielding member () is held between the lens holding member () and the substrate () without the protrusion () for shielding coming into contact with another member.
