Claim:
1. A camera module comprising: a laminated body including a plurality of stacked flexible material layers; an image sensor IC including a light receiving element; and a lens unit configured to collect light on the light receiving element; wherein the laminated body is structured such that an imaging function section is combined with a connecting section coupled to the imaging function section and having a thickness less than a thickness of the imaging function section; the imaging function section includes a cavity configured to receive the image sensor IC in the imaging function section and provided on one principal surface of the laminated body, and a through hole configured to allow the cavity to communicate with outside; the image sensor IC is disposed within the cavity such that the light receiving element faces toward the other principal surface of the laminated body; the lens unit is disposed on the other principal surface of the laminated body to be optically coupled to the light receiving element via the through hole; a light shielding member is provided to include a boundary between surfaces of the imaging function section and the connecting section that define a height difference; the light shielding member includes a black filler and resin; and the light shielding member covers an entire surface of the connecting section that defines the height difference with the imaging function section.
