IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

In an imaging device, a tilted surface is formed on one surface side of a base, while a flexible substrate arranged with light sources is secured along the tilted surface of the base, so as to adjust the optical axis of an imaging unit and positions illuminated by the light sources. Thus, the respective optical axes of light sources are regulated not individually but at once by placing the substrate along the tilted surface, which makes it easy to adjust the illumination positions. It is also excellent in heat dissipation of the light sources, since the heat generated by the light sources dissipates through the base. This enables the light sources to keep their output stability favorably.

主权项

1: An imaging device comprising:
a heat-dissipating base having an opening at a center; a flexible substrate, arranged on one surface side of the base, having an opening communicating with the opening of the base and an arrangement piece formed about the opening; a light source, arranged on one surface side of the arrangement piece, for emitting light toward a subject to be imaged; and imaging means, arranged coaxially with a center axis of the opening, for capturing at a deep part of the opening a light image from the subject; wherein one surface side of the base is such a tilted surface as to form a depression having the opening as a bottom part; and wherein the arrangement piece is secured along the tilted surface so that an optical axis of the light source intersects the center axis of the opening.
