  • Publication number: 20230207593
    Abstract: A multilayer substrate on which an image sensor is mounted and which includes a plurality of conductive layers includes a plurality of vias (a drill via and a small-diameter via) piled and connected in a straight line; and a light-shielding portion configured to shield light transmitted through a non-wired region insulating the vias and other wirings and traveling to the image sensor. The light-shielding portion is a land of the via formed in a range broader than the non-wired region of another conductive layer in at least one conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 11477353
    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus which makes the load applied to a movable unit when it is displaced nearly uniform. The movable unit controlled by a control unit is capable of being in at least a predetermined direction. A first flexible board has a first connecting portion connected to the movable unit, a first wiring portion extended from the first connecting portion in a first direction different from a direction of an optical axis, and a second connecting portion placed at an end of the first wiring portion and connected to the control unit. A second flexible board has a third connecting portion connected to the movable unit, a second wiring portion extended from the third connecting portion in a second direction different from the direction of the optical axis, and a fourth connecting portion placed at an end of the second wiring portion and connected to the control unit.

  • Patent number: 11405534
    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup unit and a control unit that controls the unit. The control unit has a control substrate, and the image pickup unit and the control substrate are electrically connected by a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate has a first connection portion connected to the image pickup unit, a wiring portion extending from the first connection portion, and a second connection portion connected to the control substrate. A plurality of curved portions is formed on the flexible substrate, and a sheet-like radio wave absorber is partially fixed to the flexible substrate through a plurality of insulating reinforcing materials.
