Abstract

There is provided a solid state image capturing apparatus including an image capturing element for photoelectric converting an incident light; a light shielding filter for shielding a part of the incident light; and a metal plate partly having an opening for fixing the light shielding filter at a position for blocking the opening, an end of the opening of the metal plate being etched and antireflection treated. Also, a camera module and an electronic device are provided.

Claims (25)

1. A solid state image capturing apparatus, comprising:

an image capturing element for photoelectric converting incident light;

a light shielding filter for shielding part of the incident light; and

a metal plate having an opening for fixing the light shielding filter at a position for blocking the opening,

an end of the opening of the metal plate being etched and antireflection treated, wherein the metal plate has a light shielding wall at a peripheral portion that is furthest away from the image capturing element, and wherein the light shielding wall is perpendicular to a remaining portion of the metal plate and extends from a top surface of the remaining portion in a direction away from the image capturing element.

2. The solid state image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate is adhered to a structure including any one of a substrate with in-built components, a packaged mold, a frame component, a lens unit and an actuator.

3. The solid state image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate is fixed by adhering the light shielding filter to the end of the opening.

4. The solid state image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding filter is an IRCF (infrared cut filter).

5. The solid state image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the antireflection is by blackening.

6. The solid state image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate is made of an iron-based, an aluminum-based and copper-based material.

7. The solid state image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate has a plate thickness of 0.02 mm to 0.05 mm.

8. The solid state image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate has a hole, a concave or a granulated surface corresponding to a convex for positioning disposed on a structure to be adhered.

9. The solid state image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate has a vent for ventilating air between the metal plate and the image capturing element.

10. A camera module, comprising:

an image capturing element for photoelectric converting incident light;

a light shielding filter for shielding part of the incident light; and

a metal plate having an opening for fixing the light shielding filter at a position for blocking the opening,

an end of the opening of the metal plate being etched and antireflection treated, wherein the metal plate has a light shielding wall at a peripheral portion that is furthest away from the image capturing element, and wherein the light shielding wall is perpendicular to a remaining portion of the metal s late and extends from a to surface of the remaining portion in a direction away from the image capturing element.

11. An electronic device, comprising:

an image capturing element for photoelectric converting incident light;

a light shielding filter for shielding part of the incident light; and

a metal plate having an opening for fixing the light shielding filter at a position for blocking the opening,

an end of the opening of the metal plate being etched and antireflection treated, wherein the metal plate has a light shielding wall at a peripheral portion that is furthest away from the image capturing element, and wherein the light shielding wall is perpendicular to a remaining portion of the metal plate and extends from a top surface of the remaining portion in a direction away from the image capturing element.

12. The solid state image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the metal plate is disk shaped.

13. The solid state image capturing apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the opening is rectangular shaped.
