Abstract

A first heat radiation unit is formed on one surface of the imaging unit in a vertical direction. A second heat radiation unit is formed on the other surface of the imaging unit in the vertical direction. A third heat radiation unit is formed on a surface opposite to an imaging direction of the imaging unit. A first heat transfer unit transfers heat of a first heat source of the imaging unit to the first heat radiation unit and the third heat radiation unit. A second heat transfer unit transfers heat of a second heat source of the imaging unit, which has a higher maximum allowable temperature than the first heating unit, to the second heat radiation unit. A heat insulation unit suppresses heat transfer between the first and the second heat radiation units and between the third and the second heat radiation units.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An imaging device comprising:
a camera module which performs imaging;
wherein the camera module comprises a CMOS image sensor and a digital signal processor (DSP);
a tilting driving motor which drives the camera module in a tilting direction;
a panning driving motor which drives the camera module in a panning direction;
wherein the CMOS image sensor is a first heat source;
the DSP is a second heat source;
wherein the imaging device further compri…
