Abstract
This invention is a solid state imaging device provided with an imaging chip having an imaging area and a package enclosing this imaging chip wherein, among a plurality of corners of the image area on the imaging chip, a plurality of corners of the imaging chip and a plurality of corners of the above mentioned package, at least one corner in each corresponding position is chamfered. The chamfered corner of the image area is a region not required to display pictures and does not reduce the displaying performance. In the electronic endoscope, the above mentioned solid state imaging device is arranged within the small area of the insertable section with the chamfered corner directed to the outside.
