Abstract:
A camera module, which is mounted on an inside of a front windshield of a vehicle and to image an external environment of the vehicle, includes a lens unit and an imager to image the external environment by forming an optical image, which is from the external environment through the lens unit.

Claim (Index 1):
A camera module configured to be mounted to an inside of a windshield of a vehicle and to image an external environment of the vehicle, the camera module comprising:\n a lens unit through which an optical image from the external environment enters; an imager to image the external environment by forming the optical image thereon through the lens unit; and a hood to restrict incidence of light on the lens unit from the external environment outside an imaging target range of the imager, wherein under a definition that an imaginary intersection is a point, at which a lower light ray imaginarily intersects with the windshield, that the lower light ray is incident on the lens unit at a taper angle within the imaging target range, and that the taper angle defines a horizontal angle of view range which is smaller than that of the lens unit, the hood includes: a base wall portion to be located to face the windshield across an imaging space in which the optical image within the imaging target range is led to the lens unit; and a side wall portion raised from the base wall portion on a lateral side of the imaging space and formed to spread from a periphery of the lens unit toward the imaginary intersection.
