Patent ID: 8715444

Claim:
An imaging device manufacturing method, comprising: preparing a plurality of sheets that include a first sheet formed in a predetermined array with a plurality of chips each having a lens part, and a second sheet formed in said predetermined array with a plurality of chips each having an actuator part; joining by laminating said plurality of sheets such that each of said lens parts is respectively supported by each of said actuator parts, to form a laminated member; and cutting said laminated member with respect to each of said chips, to generate a plurality of units each having said lens part and said actuator part that movably supports said lens part, wherein said plurality of sheets further include a third sheet which is formed in said predetermined array with a plurality of chips each having an imaging element part, and each chip of said first sheet has a first frame part which surrounds said lens part, and a coupler which couples said first frame part and said lens part, said plurality of sheets include a fifth sheet formed in said predetermined array with a plurality of chips each having a second frame part to be joined with said first frame part from one direction, and a first elastic part fixedly provided at at least two points of said second frame part, and a sixth sheet formed in said predetermined array with a plurality of chips each having a third frame part to be joined with said first frame part from the opposite direction to said one direction, and a second elastic part fixedly provided at at least two points of said third frame part, and laminating the fifth and sixth sheets such that said lens part is supported by said first elastic part and said second elastic part; and cutting the coupler after said first, fifth and sixth sheets have been laminated and bound such that said lens part is supported by said first elastic part and said second elastic part to separate said first frame part and said lens part.
