    摘要: An imaging apparatus mounted in a vehicle includes an imager substrate, a housing, and a heat dissipator. The imager substrate has an image sensor mounted thereon. The housing is equipped with a rear wall extending in an in-plane direction perpendicular to a thickness of the imager substrate and has the imager substrate disposed therein. The heat dissipator is arranged between the imager substrate and the rear wall in contact therewith to transfer heat from the imager substrate to the rear wall. The rear wall has a substrate-facing surface facing the imager substrate through the heat dissipator and also has a retainer arranged on the substrate-facing surface to hold the heat dissipator thereon. This structure ensures enhanced stability in releasing thermal energy from the image sensor or the imager substrate.

    摘要: An electronic device is provided, including a main body and a camera module. The camera module has a frame, a lens unit disposed in the frame, a guiding member, and a hinge. The guiding member is affixed to the main body and has a rail and a spring sheet. The hinge pivotally connects to the frame and the guiding member. When the camera module is in the retracted position, the camera module is hidden in a recess of the main body. When the camera module slides out of the recess from the retracted position along the rail into the operational position, the spring sheet is pressed by the hinge to increase the friction between the hinge and the guiding member.

    摘要: A vehicle compound-eye camera includes: a plurality of cameras arranged to be spaced apart from each other in a predetermined direction and disposed such that respective maximum image-pickup ranges of the plurality of cameras are partially shifted from each other in the predetermined direction; and a processor configured to set an overlapping image-pickup range in which each of the plurality of cameras picks up an image of a same target object from a different viewpoint. The processor is configured to set an image-pickup range of one of the cameras disposed on one end in the predetermined direction to have a relatively wide angle. The processor is configured to set an image-pickup range of another of the cameras disposed on the other end in the predetermined direction to have a relatively narrow angle.
