Patent ID: 11754911

Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging optical system. The imaging apparatus includes a holding member that holds the imaging optical system. The imaging apparatus includes an imaging device including a light-receiving region and located in an image-forming plane of the imaging optical system. The imaging apparatus includes an elastic member that is located close to the imaging device toward the imaging optical system and surrounds the light-receiving region without overlapping the light-receiving region when viewed in an optical axial direction of the imaging optical system. The elastic member is in contact with the imaging device such that the area of contact between the elastic member and the imaging device is ring-shaped. The imaging apparatus includes a plate-like member that is located farther from an optical axis of the imaging optical system than an inside perimeter of the elastic member and overlaps at least part of the elastic member when viewed in the optical axial direction of the imaging optical system. The plate-like member includes a portion in contact with the holding member and a portion in contact with the elastic member.
