Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: a three-dimensional circuit board transmitting virtually no visible light, the three-dimensional circuit board comprising a wiring pattern formed on a surface of the bottom portion of the three-dimensional circuit board opposite to the barrel portion; a semiconductor imaging device that is bare-mounted on the wiring pattern and held by the three-dimensional circuit board; an optical system that is held by the barrel portion and directs light to the semiconductor imaging device; and a flexible printed circuit, disposed on the three-dimensional circuit board on a side opposite to the barrel portion, for sending a signal to and receiving a signal from the semiconductor imaging device; wherein the flexible printed circuit entirely covers a surface of the semiconductor imaging device opposite to a surface thereof facing the optical system and a region of the flexible printed circuit facing the semiconductor imaging device has sufficient shielding characteristics in a range sensitive to light reception by the semiconductor imaging device.
