Patent attributes
To achieve light blocking performance firmly by a simple constitution with no need of separately providing a special member, a photographing element is provided on a front face side of a circuit board for a camera and a light blocking member is provided on a rear face side thereof. Connection terminal portions++ are arranged to align at a peripheral portion of the board. As the light blocking member on the rear face side, a conductive pattern or a resist having light blocking performance is used and the conductive pattern is integrally formed with one of the connection terminal portions and the resist is formed at portions excluding the connection terminal portions. The conductive pattern may be formed by copper paste and the resist may be formed by a resist of black color or the like. A recessed portion 1a for containing the photographing element is provided on die front face side or the board and the resist having light blocking performance of a resist of black color or the like is provided at an inner face of the recessed portion. An optical apparatus unit having a lens to focus an object on the photographing element is connected to the front face side of the circuit board.
