IMAGING DEVICE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/047034

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the time required to adjust the position of an optical lens. The imaging device is provided with a substrate (2), an imaging element (51), a lens unit (52), and a holder (53). The lens unit (52) comprises an optical lens (521) which condenses light onto the light receiving surface (51a) of the imaging element (51). The holder (53) is fixed to the substrate (2) and holds the lens unit (52) such that the optical lens (521) faces the light receiving surface (51a). The lens unit (52) comprises a gear (52f). The lens unit (52) is configured such that the position with respect to the imaging element (51) changes along the optical axis direction of the optical lens (521) with rotation of the gear (52f). Also, the holder (53) is integrally provided with ribs (53e) having a protrusion (53f) that restricts rotation of the gear (52f) by meshing with the gear (52f).
