Abstract:
A solid-state imaging apparatus includes: a solid-state imaging device photoelectrically converting light taken by a lens; and a light shielding member shielding part of light incident on the solid-state imaging device from the lens, wherein an angle made between an edge surface of the light shielding member and an optical axis direction of the lens is larger than an incident angle of light to be incident on an edge portion of the light shielding member.

Claim (Index 12):
An imaging apparatus, comprising:\n a lens having an optical axis extending in a first direction; an optical filter having a flat first surface that faces the lens, wherein the flat first surface is normal to the first direction; an image sensor having a light receiving surface arranged to receive first rays of light from the lens via the optical filter; a substrate; at least one conductor arranged to electrically connect to the image sensor; a resin surrounding a circumference of the at least one conductor; and a light shield arranged between the lens and the image sensor to prevent second rays of light from the lens from reaching the light receiving surface of the image sensor while allowing the first rays of light to reach the light receiving surface of image sensor, wherein, in a cross-sectional view: a first side surface of the light shield is located on a first side of the optical axis and has a first point and a second point, the first point being positioned closer to the lens than the second point, the first side surface is positioned such that a first line through the first point and the second point forms a first acute angle relative to the first direction, the first line is positioned such that a first half-line that extends away from and is perpendicular to the first line intersects a second half-line that extends away from and is normal to the light receiving surface of the image sensor, and a virtual extension of the first line does not intersect the substrate.
