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.

Claims (26)

1. An imaging device, comprising:

a solid-state device to photoelectrically convert light taken by a lens;

a light shielding member shielding part of light incident on the solid-state imaging device from the lens; and

a resin layer that is disposed at a light incident surface of the solid-state imaging device and bonded with the light shielding member;

wherein, the light shielding member has an opening, a first size of the opening facing the solid-state imaging device is greater than a second size of the opening facing the lens,

wherein an edge surface of the opening of the light shielding member forms an angle with respect to an optical axis direction of the lens,

wherein the light shielding member is provided at the light incident surface of the solid-state imaging device, and

wherein a virtual extension surface of the edge surface of the opening of the light shielding member does not intersect a side surface of the resin layer.

2. The imaging device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the angle made between the edge surface of the light shielding member and the optical axis direction of the lens is larger than an incident angle of light whose incident angle is the largest of light incident on an edge portion of the light shielding member.

3. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the resin layer is made of transparent materials.

4. The imaging device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the light shielding member is formed by printing a material for printing on an optical filter arranged on an optical path once or plural times.

5. The imaging device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the angle made between the edge surface of the light shielding member and the optical axis is 50 degrees.

6. The imaging device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light shielding member is made of an antireflection film.

7. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding member is colored black.

8. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding member has UV curability or heat curability.

9. The imaging device according to claim 8 , wherein the light shielding member is made of a material selected from the group consisting of a carbon filler, epoxy resin or acrylic resin colored black with dye and an epoxy/acrylic hybrid resin.

10. The imaging device according to claim 1 , further comprising;

an optical member arranged on an optical path between the lens and the solid-state image device,

wherein the light shielding member is bonded to a surface of the optical member facing the solid-state imaging device.

11. The imaging device according to claim 10 , wherein the optical member is an infrared ray cut filter.

12. The imaging device according to claim 1 , further comprising;

a sealing member that is bonded with the light shielding member at the light incident surface of the solid-state imaging device.
