IMAGING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18339154 titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an imaging apparatus that includes an imaging element, a circuit board, and a holding metal plate. The circuit board is held in place by the holding metal plate, which has a smaller linear expansion coefficient than the circuit board. The imaging element is fixed to the holding metal plate using two adhesives.
- The imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, a circuit board, and a holding metal plate.
- The circuit board is held in place by the holding metal plate, which has a smaller linear expansion coefficient.
- The imaging element is fixed to the holding metal plate using two adhesives.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This imaging apparatus can be used in various imaging devices such as cameras, scanners, and medical imaging equipment.
- It can be integrated into smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronic devices to improve their imaging capabilities.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The use of two adhesives helps to securely fix the imaging element to the holding metal plate, ensuring stability and preventing any movement or misalignment.
- The differential linear expansion coefficients of the circuit board and holding metal plate help to minimize any potential damage or stress caused by temperature changes.
Benefits of this technology:
- The use of two adhesives provides a strong and reliable bond between the imaging element and the holding metal plate, enhancing the overall durability and longevity of the imaging apparatus.
- The differential linear expansion coefficients help to maintain the structural integrity of the imaging apparatus, even in varying temperature conditions.
- This technology allows for improved image quality and accuracy in imaging devices, leading to better performance and user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, a circuit board, a holding metal plate having an opening for holding the circuit board, wherein a linear expansion coefficient of the circuit board is smaller than a linear expansion coefficient of the holding metal plate, wherein one end surface of the imaging element parallel to a longer-side direction of a connector is directly fixed with a first adhesive to one end surface of the opposing holding metal plate parallel to the longer-side direction of the connector in the opening, and wherein another end surface of the imaging element parallel to the longer-side direction of the connector is directly fixed with a second adhesive to another end surface of the opposing holding metal plate parallel to the longer-side direction of the connector in the opening.
