Abstract:
An imaging unit has an imaging device that has an imaging lens; a case that encloses an imaging device and that has an imaging portion for passing light that is to be incident into an imaging lens; and an extending portion that extends from the opening portion in the imaging direction of the imaging device. The extending portion has an extending surface that is provided with a scattering portion for scattering light through structural units. Each structural unit has a surface structure for reflecting, in at least two mutually differing directions that are inclined in relation to a first vertical plane, light that is inclined in the imaging direction relative to an axis that is perpendicular to the extending surface, and that is parallel to a first vertical plane that is perpendicular to the extending surface and that includes the optical axis of the imaging lens.

Claim (Index 7):
The imaging unit as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein:\n when a second vertical plane that is perpendicular to the first vertical plane and that is perpendicular to the first extending surface is assumed, and the first extending surface is viewed in a cross-sectional view from the imaging direction of the imaging device, each of the structural units has a third surface and a fourth surface that are perpendicular to the second vertical plane, and the third surface and the fourth surface are inclined in directions wherein the top ends thereof approach each other, relative to the first vertical plane.
