Abstract:
1. A solid-state image sensing device, comprising: an optical structure for forming an image of a subject; a solid-state image sensing element for converting the image of the subject formed by the optical structure to electrical signals; and a holding section for holding the optical structure and housing therein the solid-state image sensing element, wherein grease is applied in such a manner that the grease is not present in an optical path in the optical structure, the grease is applied to at least part of an internal surface of the holding section, and the holding section has an embankment formed to prevent the grease from flowing into the optical path, wherein the embankment is disposed along an internal side face of the lens holder and the embankment comprises a bulge on a grease-applying surface, which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the holding section, and the bulge projects toward the optical structure.
