Abstract:
1. Method of fixing prisms for a TV camera and solid-state image pickup element packages, comprising: fixing two holding plates at two sides of each of the prisms, each of the holding plates having a wedge-shaped or semicircular tip surface, abutting the wedge-shaped or semicircular tip surfaces of the holding plates always against a surface of the solid-state image pickup element package to form a gap directly between the surface of the solid-state pickup element package and the wedge-shaped or semicircular tip surface of the holding plate, respectively, supplying an adhesive in the gap formed directly between the surface of the solid-state image pickup element package and the wedge-shaped or semicircular tip surface of the holding plate, respectively, said adhesive being photocurable adhesive or thermosetting adhesive, aligning, relative to light axes, X, Y and Z axes and rotational axes θx, θy and θz for the axes X, Y, and Z of each of the solid-state image pickup element packages while inclining the holding plates in a front-rear direction simultaneously, the axes X, Y, and Z being perpendicular to each other, and curing the adhesive situated in the gap directly between the surface of the solid-state pickup element package and the wedge-shaped or semicircular tip surface of the holding plate by applying light or heat to thereby fix the holding plates, the solid-state image pickup elements and the prisms, respectively.
