Patent ID: 7630016

Claim:
An imaging device comprising: a transparent unit; a holding unit configured to hold the transparent unit, the holding unit comprising a ring-shaped protrusion having a top surface that is flat to accommodate the transparent unit thereon, the transparent unit being adhered to the top surface via an adhesive layer; a photoelectric conversion element configured to photoelectrically convert a light beam passing through the transparent unit; an electrical wiring board electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion element; first electrode pads configured to electrically connect the photoelectric conversion element and the electrical wiring board; and second electrode pads as dummies that are not electrically connected to wiring of the electrical wiring board, wherein the transparent unit and a lens unit disposed on a first surface of the transparent unit and a diaphragm unit disposed on a second surface of the transparent unit opposite the first surface are integrated, wherein the transparent unit and the electrical wiring board are integrated via the holding unit, with an upper side of the electrical wiring board being bonded to a lower surface of the holding unit, and wherein the photoelectric conversion element and the electrical wiring board are bonded to each other with a conductive paste portion via the first electrode pads and the second electrode pads, with a lower side of the electrical wiring board being bonded to an upper side of the photoelectric conversion element.
