Body Insertable Apparatus
First Claim
1. A body insertable apparatus comprising:
- an outer case having at least one dome-shaped end portion;
an imaging unit, arranged in the outer case, that captures an image of an inside of a body into which the body insertable apparatus being inserted, and acquires an image information of the inside of the body;
an illuminating unit that includes an electrode unit provided in the dome-shaped end portion and in the periphery of the imaging unit, and an irradiation unit formed on a top portion of the electrode unit, an end surface of the irradiation unit in a longitudinal direction being constituted to be shorter than an end surface of the electrode unit, the irradiation unit providing a plurality of light emitting diodes that outputs an illuminating light for illuminating the inside of the body from which an image is captured by the imaging unit; and
an arrangement board, provided in the outer case, on which the imaging unit and the illuminating unit are arranged respectively.

Abstract
A plurality of LEDs 72, which includes a power unit including two electrodes 72a connected to an illuminating board 71 and includes an irradiation unit 72b formed on a top portion of the power unit, with a stair-shaped structure in which an end surface 72b1 in a longitudinal side of the irradiation unit 72b is shorter than an end surface 72a1 of the power unit, is arranged so that a longitudinal side is to be along a direction of a circumference “A” having a radius larger a field of view determined by an optical quality of the imaging lens 83, with an imaging lens 83 of an imaging unit 8 as a center. As a result, an optical flare is prevented from being generated and a capsule endoscope is downsized.
