Abstract

A camera module ( 1 ) has an internal space ( 28 ) that abuts a wiring substrate ( 21 ) and is occluded, at least a part of a base material of the wiring substrate ( 21 ) is a porous portion ( 41 ) that is configured of porous ceramic, porous metal, organic fabric, or inorganic fabric and has interconnected air holes, and the internal space ( 28 ) is connected to the outside of the camera module ( 1 ) through the interconnected air holes.

Claims (18)

1. A camera module comprising:

an internal space that abuts a wiring substrate and is occluded,

wherein a part of a base material of the wiring substrate is a porous portion that is configured of a three-dimensional mesh skeleton and has interconnected air holes, and the internal space is connected to the outside of the camera module through the interconnected air holes, and

the three-dimensional mesh skeleton has a surface provided with a plating coat.

2. The camera module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the base material of the wiring substrate includes, as a part of the porous portion, a porous layer having interconnected air holes on a surface of the base material on the opposite side from the internal space.

3. The camera module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the porous portion has a first porous portion that is formed on an internal space side surface of the wiring substrate, a second porous portion that is formed on an outer side surface of the wiring substrate, and a separating portion that separates the first porous portion and the second porous portion from each other and has an air hole connecting the first porous portion and the second porous portion.

4. The camera module according to claim 1 ,

wherein a conductive or insulating pattern that covers a part of the surface of the porous portion is disposed on the porous portion.

5. The camera module according to claim 1 , wherein

the porous portion is configured of porous ceramic, porous metal, organic fabric, or inorganic fabric.

6. The camera module according to claim 1 , wherein

the porous portion has a first end surface that abuts the internal space and a second end surface that is positioned on a surface of the wiring substrate which surface faces the internal space and that abuts the outside of the camera module.

7. A camera module comprising:

an internal space that abuts a wiring substrate and is occluded,

wherein at least a part of a base material of the wiring substrate is a porous portion that is configured of porous ceramic, porous metal, organic fabric, or inorganic fabric and has interconnected air holes, and the internal space is connected to the outside of the camera module through the interconnected air holes, and

wherein the porous portion has a first porous portion that is formed on an internal space side surface of the wiring substrate, a second porous portion that is formed on an outer side surface of the wiring substrate, and a separating portion that separates the first porous portion and the second porous portion from each other and has an air hole connecting the first porous portion and the second porous portion.
