Abstract:
1. An image-capturing device, comprising: an imaging optical system which is configured to capture an optical image of a subject; an imaging optical system retaining member which retains the imaging optical system; an imaging element which is configured to convert the optical image into an electrical signal; a substrate which is arranged on a back side of the imaging optical system retaining member and retains the imaging element; and a plurality of substrate joint pieces each of which extends from the imaging optical system retaining member toward the substrate, in a surrounding of the imaging optical system, wherein a first set of tip parts of the plurality of the substrate joint pieces on a substrate side and the substrate are joined by an indirect bond structure using at least one joint intermediate member, a first side of the joint intermediate member being adhered to one of the first set of the tip parts of the plurality of the substrate joint pieces with an adhesive and a second side of the joint intermediate member being adhered to the substrate with the adhesive, wherein a second set of tip parts of the plurality of the substrate joint pieces on the substrate side and the substrate are joined by a fixation structure which fixes at least one of the second set of the tip parts of the plurality of the substrate joint pieces and the substrate using a fixing member at fixation positions different from bonding positions of the at least one joint intermediate member in the indirect bond structure, and wherein outside faces of the first set of tips parts present a concave joint face, and the first side of the joint intermediate member is adhered to the concave joint face with the adhesive, a total thickness of the first side of the joint intermediate member and the adhesive being less than or equal to a depth of the concave joint face.
