IMAGING DEVICE AND MOBILE TERMINAL USING THIS IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

An imaging device mountable on a small mobile terminal such as a mobile phone. On a side of a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) having an opening (20) at a predetermined position, an imaging element (2) is so provided that at least a part of the opening is closed and an imaging area is exposed. The imaging element is connected by flip-chip mounting. On the other side of the flexible printed circuit board a reinforcing member (10) made of a material of a coefficient of linear expansion of less than 1x10-5 (cm/cm/°C) is attached to reinforce the flexible printed circuit board. Thus an imaging device (100) having superior resistance against the heat shock when the imaging element is connected and the heat shock when the mobile terminal device incorporating the imaging element is used is provided.
