Imaging apparatus
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, a lens unit that focuses light on the imaging element, and a light source disposed around the lens unit. The lens unit includes a blocking part that projects over a region located around the lens unit and facing the light source so as to block stray light from the light source.
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
an imaging element;
a lens unit that includes a lens body and a lens supporting member for supporting the lens body and that focuses light on the imaging element; and
a light source disposed around the lens unit,
a light shield body located around the lens body so as to block light; and
a wiring board on which the imaging element, the lens unit, and the light source are mounted, wherein
the lens unit includes a blocking part that projects over a region located around the lens supporting member and facing the light source so as to block stray light from the light source, the stray light being reflected from the light shield body and the wiring board and traveling toward the lens body.
2. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a polarization member disposed on an optical path of light emitted from the light source, wherein
the polarization member is placed on the blocking part of the lens unit.
3. The imaging apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising:
a framing member surrounding the lens unit and the light source, wherein
the framing member includes a polarization plate supporting part which is provided on an inner surface of the framing member and on which the polarization member is placed.
4. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the lens unit further includes a joined part projecting from a side surface of the lens supporting member onto the wiring board and joined to the wiring board.
