Camera device
At a camera device for a vehicle, a camera images an obverse side of a glass cover via the glass cover. A water repelling film is formed on an obverse side surface of the glass cover. A transparent conductive film of the glass cover generates heat, and the glass cover is heated. Because the transparent conductive film is electrically conductive, electrical resistance of an obverse side surface of the water repelling film can be lowered by the transparent conductive film, and charging of the obverse side surface of the water repelling film can be suppressed.
1. A camera device comprising:
a camera mechanism at which a transmitting member that transmits light is provided, and that images an obverse side of the transmitting member via the transmitting member;
a water repelling film that forms an obverse side surface of the transmitting member;
a heat generating film that is provided at the transmitting member further toward a reverse side than the water repelling film, that transmits light, that is electrically conductive, and that generates heat, by which the transmitting member is heated, and
a substrate that is provided at the transmitting member, and at whose obverse side the heat generating film is disposed in direct contact,
wherein the obverse side faces away from the camera mechanism, such that the heat generating film is sandwiched between the water repelling film and the substrate.
2. The camera device of claim 1 , comprising:
an exposure hole that is formed in the water repelling film, and through which the heat generating film is exposed at an obverse side of the transmitting member; and
a terminal that is inserted in the exposure hole and is electrically connected to the heat generating film, and that supplies electric power to the heat generating film, by which the heat generating film generates heat.
3. The camera device of claim 2 , wherein the exposure hole opens at an outer side of an outer periphery of the transmitting member.
4. The camera device of claim 3 , wherein the terminal nips the transmitting member therebetween.
5. The camera device of claim 1 , wherein the water repelling film contacts the heat generating film.
6. The camera device of claim 1 , wherein the heat generating film is disposed at an entire imaging range of the camera mechanism.
7. The camera device of claim 1 , wherein the obverse side faces away from the camera mechanism, such that the heat generating film is sandwiched between the transmitting member and the water repelling film.
8. The camera device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate transmits light.
9. The camera device of claim 1 , wherein the water repelling film, the heat generating film, and the substrate are disposed over an imaging range such that the camera images the obverse side of the transmitting member via the water repelling film, the heat generating film, and the substrate.
