Image pickup apparatus having decreased thickness in the vertical direction

摘要

An image pickup apparatus that is capable of dissipating heat generated by an image pickup device efficiently, even when a small image pickup device that has electrode pads on almost all the back face is used. The image pickup apparatus has a lens assembly. An image pickup device photoelectrically converts subject light that is incident on the lens assembly. The image pickup device is implemented at one side of a device substrate. A heat dissipation section that dissipates heat generated by the image pickup device is provided at the other side of the device substrate. A heat dissipation sheet is thermally connected to the heat dissipation section at one end, and is thermally connected to an exterior of an apparatus body at the other end.

主权项

1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
a lens unit configured to have a lens assembly that is arranged at a front side of an apparatus body, and an image pickup device that photoelectrically converts subject light that is incident on the lens assembly; a circuit board unit provided in the apparatus body and configured to be arranged so as to surround a rear side and right and left sides of the lens unit in a direction approximately parallel to an optical axis of the lens assembly within the range of the height of the lens unit in a vertical direction; and a microphone, wherein at least one of a right region or a left region of the circuit board unit surrounding the right or left side of the lens unit is extended toward the front side of the apparatus body to form an extended region, and wherein the extended region includes a sound signal processing unit configured to process a sound signal collected by the microphone.
