Abstract:
1. A capsule medical apparatus comprising: a cylindrical capsule-shaped exterior casing of which at least one end portion is substantially hemispherical; a plurality of electrical substrates with different functions, the electrical substrates being stored in the exterior casing and having an outer shape slightly smaller than an inner diameter of the exterior casing; a connecting member comprising a plurality of soldering balls or a plurality of pins, the connecting member being electrically conductive and mechanically fixing the electrical substrates adjacent and opposed to one another, in a state where each of the plurality of electrical substrates are arranged in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the exterior casing such that the electrical substrates are substantially parallel to one another; a battery arranged in the exterior casing and adapted to supply power to the plurality of substrates; and a flexible substrate, which is arranged in the exterior casing along a longitudinal direction of the exterior casing, which is provided with a power pattern which is electrically conductive with the battery and transmits power by the battery, and on which the power pattern is connected so as to be electrically conductive at end surfaces of the plurality of electrical substrates opposed to one another in the longitudinal direction of the exterior casing.
