Abstract:
In an imaging apparatus mounted in a vehicle, a housing containing an imaging module includes a first housing member having an opening and a first facing surface along a perimeter of the opening, and a second housing member disposed to cover the opening and having a second facing surface facing the first facing surface. The housing further includes an electrically conductive bonding member disposed between the first facing surface and the second facing surface and at least partially along the perimeter of the opening, and adapted to adhere to both the first facing surface and the second facing surface and electrically connect the first housing member and the second housing member.

Claim (Index 8):
An imaging apparatus mounted in a vehicle, comprising:\n a housing having a cavity thereinside; an imaging module that is at least partially contained in the cavity and includes a light input on which light from an imaging target is incident, the imaging module being configured to output an image signal representing the image of the imaging target based on the light from the imaging target incident on the light input; a circuit board contained within the cavity and including a signal input configured to receive the image signal from the imaging module and a signal processing circuit configured to process the image signal received by the signal input, the circuit board having an aperture through the circuit board, wherein at least the light input of the imaging module is disposed on one of opposite sides of the circuit board, the signal input is disposed on the other of opposite sides of the circuit board, the imaging module and the signal input are electrically connected via the aperture of the circuit board, wherein the housing comprises: a first housing member having a first opening and a first facing surface along a perimeter of the first opening; a second housing member disposed to cover the first opening, the second housing member having a second opening facing the first opening and a second facing surface facing the first facing surface along a perimeter of the second opening; and an electrically conductive bonding member disposed between the first facing surface and the second facing surface and adapted to adhere to both the first facing surface and the second facing surface and electrically connect the first housing member and the second housing member.
