- the case where the lens unit 1 consists of two lenses may be used, and the present invention can be applied to the case where the lens unit 1 is composed of four or more lenses.
- the imaging substrate 6 does not need to be completely straight with respect to the short side, and may be provided with an extending portion that extends outward in the longitudinal direction. An effect similar to that of the camera module 10 can be obtained.
- the following imaging module of the present invention was produced.
- a rectangular imaging substrate 6 made of a glass cloth base epoxy resin having through holes at four corners, 20 mm in length, 40 mm in width, and 1.6 mm in thickness is prepared on the main surface on the front side.
- the image sensor 7 and the IC 8 were mounted, and the connector 9 was mounted on the main surface on the back side.
- a rectangular substrate holding plate 5 made of anodized aluminum having a length of 20 mm, a width of 55 mm, and a thickness of 2.5 mm is provided for each of the four substrate fixing portions 5b and the four holder fixing portions 5c.
- the through-holes were processed and processed so as to provide openings 5a in which the regions M surrounded by the four substrate fixing portions 5b were opened.
- one main surface of the substrate holding plate member 5 is brought into contact with the imaging substrate 6 so that the imaging element 7 and the IC 8 are positioned in the opening 5a, and each of the through holes at the four corners of the imaging substrate 6 is provided.
- Screws 11 made of stainless steel are inserted from the back side, and the screws 11 are inserted into the through holes of the four substrate fixing portions 5b and tightened to fix the imaging substrate 6 to the substrate holding plate 5. Fixed to.
- a rectangular holder 4 was prepared by processing through four plate material fixing portions 4a so as to provide through holes.
- a lens barrel 2a having a thread groove formed on the outer periphery with a diameter of 13 mm is prepared, and a lens unit 1 composed of three lens groups is provided on the inner wall of the inner space of the lens barrel 2a from the subject side by a retainer 2b.
- the lens barrel 2a was inserted into and supported by the lens support cylinder portion 3 so that the screw grooves were fitted to each other.
- a camera module 10 as an imaging module of the present invention was produced.
- the imaging module of the present invention the openings surrounded by the four substrate fixing portions facing the four corners of the imaging substrate are provided, and the four openings are provided. Since the board holding plate is provided with a holder fixing part located on the outside in the longitudinal direction with respect to the board fixing part, it becomes difficult to generate compressive stress remaining on the imaging board, and it is used for a long time It was also confirmed that the image pickup module was able to acquire a highly accurate image.
