Abstract: A camera device which includes a holder which retains an optical member therein and a circuit board on which an image sensor is mounted. The holder is joined to the circuit board using an adhesive agent. The circuit board at least partially includes a metallic layer and a resinous layer stacked in a thickness-wise direction of the circuit board. The circuit board has a metallic layer-absent portion in which the metallic layer is partially omitted. The metallic layer-absent portion is located so as to overlap the joint between the holder and the circuit board in the thickness-wise direction of the circuit board, thereby minimizing the transfer of heat of the adhesive agent to the metallic layer. This achieves effective hardening the adhesive agent, which will facilitate the ease with which the camera device is assembled.

Abstract: A camera module is mountable to an inner side of a front windshield of a vehicle and is configured to capture an image of an external environment of the vehicle. The camera module includes an optical assembly, a camera casing, and an adhesive. The optical assembly includes an assembly reference surface for determining the position of an optical axis and captures an image of the external environment by forming an optical image incident along the optical axis from the external environment. The camera casing includes a casing reference surface to be positioned with respect to the front windshield on the outside of the camera casing and accommodates the optical assembly in a state separate from inner wall surfaces. The adhesive joins the optical assembly to the camera casing in a state in which the assembly reference surface is aligned with an imaginary plane extending along the casing reference surface.

Abstract: An in-vehicle camera control device is provided for an in-vehicle camera that includes an imaging element for picking up an image around the vehicle. The apparatus controls a state of current supply to the imaging element. In the apparatus, current supply to the imaging element is prevented from starting when the temperature in the vicinity of the imaging element is high.Specifically, upon start of processing, current supply to the imaging element of the in-vehicle camera is stopped first (camera is powered OFF). Therefore, at least immediately after the ignition is turned on, current supply to the imaging element is not performed. When a state where a temperature measured by a temperature measurement section provided in the vicinity of the imaging element is not more than an ON threshold continues for a duration expressed by Ams×(startup counter value), current supply to the imaging element is started.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus provided with a lens module which has a main body and two vane members. The main body holds a lens on an inside thereof. The vane members are plate shaped sections projected from an outside surface of the main body, which are provided with through-holes enabling fastening members to be threaded through. A base is provided with an imaging element and configured to fix thereto the main body. The case which accommodates the lens, the lens module and the base has two thread-holes formed on an inside thereof, into which the fastening members are fastened thereto. The lens module is fixed to the case by threading the fastening members through the through-holes, and fastening the fastening members into the thread-holes.

Abstract: A printed circuit board capable of reducing or suppressing connection failure includes a base film made of insulating material, an electric conductor pattern formed on a front surface of the base film, and an insulating cover film covering the electric conductor pattern. The printed circuit board also includes a circuit portion with a circuit formed by the electric conductor pattern, and a pad portion with a bonding pad composed of the electric conductor pattern exposed from the insulating cover film. The pad portion has higher rigidity than the circuit portion.
