Patent ID: 7923676

Claim:
A solid-state image sensing device which includes an optical unit including a lens and a lens holder holding the lens therein, and an image sensing unit having a solid-state image sensor, the solid state image sensing device comprising: a position adjusting section for adjusting a position of the lens by moving the lens itself, without moving the lens holder, by use of electromagnetic force, wherein the position adjusting section includes a coil, a magnetic body, and an elastic body, wherein the position adjusting section adjusts the lens position by expanding and contracting the elastic body, due to the electromagnetic force which acts between the coil and the magnetic body, wherein the optical unit and the image sensing unit are fixed detachably from each other, wherein the lens holder is fixed to the image sensing unit, wherein the image sensing unit includes a transparent lid section covering a receiving surface of the solid-state image sensor, and a sealing section sealing the image sensing unit with a sealing resin in such a manner that the transparent lid section is exposed, wherein the lens holder and the exposed part of the transparent lid section are engaged with each other, wherein a whole outer edge of the transparent lid section exposed from the sealing section is covered by the lens holder, and a bottom surface of the lens holder and a surface of the sealing resin is in contact with each other, and wherein the optical unit includes a pressing member fixed to the lens holder, and a supporting section supporting the pressing member, and when the optical unit is fixed to the image sensing unit, the bottom surface of the lens holder and the surface of the sealing section are in contact with each other due to the pressing of the lens holder to the transparent lid section by the pressing member.
