Abstract:
An image pickup unit of the present invention includes an image sensor, a connection board, a circuit board, a cable, and protection material. If an external force acts in a direction orthogonal to an extension direction of the cable, the whole of the circuit board, which is a rigid body, is displaced relative to an electrode portion of the image sensor by the external force. In response to the displacement of the circuit board, the connection board is displaced so that a curve radius of a curved portion changes, between a first land portion connected to the image sensor and a second land portion connected to the circuit board, and thereby a load by the external force transmitted to the image sensor from the cable through the circuit board is reduced.

Claim (Index 1):
An image pickup unit comprising:\n an image sensor comprising an image pickup device package, an image pickup surface of an image pickup device being arranged on a front face side of the package, and an electrode portion of the image pickup device being arranged on a back face of the package; a connection board comprising a first land portion and a second land portion, the first land portion being connected to the electrode portion of the image sensor; a rigid circuit board comprising a first connection portion and a second connection portion, the first connection portion being connected to the second land portion of the connection board; a cable connected to the second connection portion of the circuit board; and protection material arranged around the connection board and the image sensor; wherein the image sensor and the circuit board are arranged such that the electrode portion of the image sensor and the first connection portion face each other; the connection board comprises a curved portion between the first land portion and the second land portion, the curved portion being curved in a manner of being displaceable by an external force transmitted from the cable via the circuit board; and the protection material includes first protection material and second protection material softer than the first protection material, the second protection material being arranged at least inside the curved portion.
