Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An endoscope includes in a tip portion of an insertion unit: an image sensor having plural terminals including a video terminal which outputs a video signal; and a tip potion of a treatment tool channel which extends in a longitudinal direction of the insertion unit, and a distance of the video terminal is longest among distances of the respective terminals from a center of the treatment tool channel in a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An endoscope comprising in a tip portion of an insertion unit: an image sensor having plural terminals including a video terminal which outputs a video signal; and a tip potion of a treatment tool channel which extends in a longitudinal direction of the insertion unit, wherein: a distance of the video terminal is longest among distances of the respective terminals from a center of the treatment tool channel in a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. 2 . The endoscope according to claim 1 , wherein the plural terminals include a power terminal which is supplied with operation power of the image sensor, and the distance of the power terminal is the shortest. 3 . The endoscope according to claim 1 , wherein the plural terminals comprise a ground terminal and the distance of the ground terminal is shortest. 4 . The endoscope according to claim 1 , wherein the plural terminals are provided on a back surface that is opposite to a photodetecting surface of the image sensor. 5 . The endoscope according to claim 2 , wherein the plural terminals are provided on a back surface that is opposite to a photodetecting surface of the image sensor. 6 . The endoscope according to claim 3 , wherein the plural terminals are provided on a back surface that is opposite to a photodetecting surface of the image sensor. 7 . The endoscope according to claim 4 , wherein number of the plural terminals is four. 8 . The endoscope according to claim 5 , wherein number of the plural terminals is four. 9 . The endoscope according to claim 6 , wherein number of the plural terminals is four. 10 . The endoscope according to claim 7 , wherein the plural terminals are arranged in a matrix of two rows and two columns each of which is parallel with a corresponding one of four sides of the back surface. 11 . The endoscope according to claim 8 , wherein the plural terminals are arranged in a matrix of two rows and two columns each of which is parallel with a corresponding one of four sides of the back surface. 12 . The endoscope according to claim 9 , wherein the plural terminals are arranged in a matrix of two rows and two columns each of which is parallel with a corresponding one of four sides of the back surface.
