Stereo camera device

Abstract

To stabilize the quality of a solid-state image pickup device by making the device shade the light effect, even when the device uses a flexible printed board, making the manufacturing of the device easier by reducing the number of parts, and preventing the occurrence of disconnections, etc. A solid-state image pickup element 2 is connected to one surface of the flexible printed board 1, and a camera unit 3 is mounted on the printed board 1 at a position where the element 2 can pick up images. A light shading member 5 is provided on the other surface of the printed board 1 corresponding to the position, where the image pickup element 2 and a camera unit 3 are provided. In addition, a reinforcing member 6 is provided at a position, where the light shading member 5 is provided. The member 5 is provided between the printed board 1 and the reinforcing member 6.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a stereo camera device for shooting images with a stereo camera element. Background technique [0002] According to conventional devices of this type, a stereoscopic imaging element is attached to one surface of a hard circuit board for a camera. In addition, a camera unit is mounted on the stereoscopic camera element at a position where an image can be captured. One rear side of the circuit board for the camera is connected to an integrated circuit (IC) for driving a stereoscopic image pickup element. The circuit patterns on the surface and the rear of the circuit board for the camera are connected through a through hole. A flexible printed circuit board (FPC) is used to connect the circuit pattern to the circuit on the stereoscopic side and to a connection terminal provided on the back of the end of the circuit board for the camera by using solder . The flexible printed circuit board is used by bending, and the part conne...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] According to this conventional construction, since the rigid circuit board is used for the video camera, the size reduction of the circuit board is limited by its thickness

Although it is conceivable to use a flexible circuit board as a camera circuit board instead of a rigid circuit board to achieve size reduction, a flexible printed circuit board is accompanied by a disadvantage that its light blocking effect is significantly inferior to that of a rigid circuit board. The light blocking effect of the circuit board, and the light that hinders the camera work is easy to enter

In addition, since the flexible printed circuit board is connected to the hard circuit board for the camera and to the circuit on the main body side, there is a problem that many parts are added, many manufacturing steps are added, thereby making the The manufacturing work becomes complicated, and the camera circuit board and the flexible printed circuit board are still easy to peel or break even when the reinforcing tape is glued to the circuit board
