Abstract:
1. A module for an optical device, comprising: a solid-state image sensor having an effective pixel region formed on one side thereof an objective lens; a lens holder for supporting said objective lens at a position opposite said effective pixel region and demarcating an optical path from said objective lens to said effective pixel region; a transparent cover placed opposite said effective pixel region; a bonding portion having substantially uniform thickness for fixedly bonding said transparent cover to said solid-state image sensor so as to form a sealed space enclosing said effective pixel region between said one side of said solid-state image sensor and said transparent cover; and a joint portion for fixedly joining said lens holder to said transparent cover; wherein said objective lens is positioned via said joint portion and said bonding portion with respect to said effective pixel region with said one side of said solid-state image sensor defined as a positioning reference, and said bonding portion consists of a bonding agent having substantially uniform thickness and formed by patterning on said one side of said solid-state image sensor in a shape enclosing said effective pixel region, or on the surface of said transparent cover opposite said one side of said solid-state image sensor in a shape enclosing said effective pixel region when said transparent cover is placed opposite said effective pixel region.
