Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An imaging device, having a substrate for mounting an imaging portion; a lens barrel for holding a lens group; a shield plate covering the vicinity of the substrate; a case disposed so as to cover the lens barrel, the substrate, and the shield plate; and a coupling, for connecting the substrate and another member, connected electrically to the ground electropotential, and a biasing portion that contacts the coupling so as to receive a biasing force in the optical axial direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An imaging device, comprising: a substrate mounting an imaging portion; a lens barrel holding a lens group; a shield plate covering the vicinity of the substrate; a case disposed so as to cover the lens barrel, the substrate, and the shield plate; and a coupling, connecting the substrate and another member, connected electrically to the ground electropotential, wherein: the shield plate has a biasing portion that contacts the coupling so as to receive a biasing force in the optical axial direction. 2. The imaging device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein: in the biasing portion, the end portion is divided into two or more portions, and each of the two or more end portions is in contact with an aforementioned coupling. 3. The imaging device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the shield plate comprises: a flat face portion that is perpendicular to the optical axial direction; and a side face portion that extends from the flat face portion toward the optical axial direction, covering the outside of the substrate, wherein: the biasing portion is a leaf spring portion that extends from the side face portion. 4. The imaging device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the shield plate comprises: a flat face portion that is perpendicular to the optical axial direction; and a side face portion that extends from the flat face portion toward the optical axial direction, covering the outside of the substrate, wherein: the biasing portion is a leaf spring portion that is formed on the flat face portion.
