Imaging module, lens-attached imaging module, endoscope, method of manufacturing imaging module, and flexible wiring substrate formation apparatus
First Claim
1. An imaging module comprising:
- an electrical cable;
a solid-state image sensing device comprising an imaging unit orthogonal to a direction of an axis of a front end of the electrical cable; and
a flexible wiring substrate formed in an elongated shape in plan view, the flexible wiring substrate comprising;
a device-mounted portion onto which the solid-state image sensing device is mounted, the device-mounted portion having a mount back face;
a first portion that extends from a first side of the device-mounted portion in plan view showing the flexible wiring substrate, the first portion including a first extended portion and a first connection end portion;
a second portion that extends from a second side of the device-mounted portion in plan view showing the flexible wiring substrate, the second portion including a second extended portion and a second connection end portion, whereinthe first portion is connected to the second portion so that an internal space formed by the device-mounted portion, the first extended portion, and the second extended portion is filled with resin, at least a part of the first extended portion and the second extended portion is thereby fixed, and the first connection end portion is connected to the second connection end portion,the first extended portion bends at the first side of the device-mounted portion and extends from the device-mounted portion,the second extended portion bends at the second side of the device-mounted portion and extends from the device-mounted portion,the first extended portion and the second extended portion extend so as to come close to each other with increasing distance from the device-mounted portion,the first connection end portion extends from the first extended portion along the direction of the axis of the front end of the electrical cable on an opposite side of the device-mounted portion, the first connection end portion has a first opposed face, and the first opposed face is on the same face as the mount back face; and
the second connection end portion extends from the second extended portion along the direction of the axis of the front end of the electrical cable on an opposite side of the device-mounted portion, the second connection end portion has a second opposed face opposed to the first opposed face, and the second opposed face is on the same face as the mount back face,wherein the first opposed face and the second opposed face are in contact with each other and the first connection end portion and the second connection end portion align in the direction of the axis of the front end of the electrical cable.
