The surface of the image pickup device 21 is covered by a transparent conductive member 26 that is made of, for example, a transparent conductive past resin and that is electrically connected to a ground potential GND. By having this arrangement, it is possible to electromagnetically shield the image pickup device 30 itself. The transparent conductive member 26 has one or more openings in the parts that correspond to the conductive unit of the signal wiring portion (the electrodes 23; A to D, F, and G, and the wiring patterns 25 that are connected thereto), out of the electrodes 23 and the wiring patterns 25 provided on the front surface side of the image pickup device body unit 21.
