IMAGING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further reduce the thickness and size of an imaging device by reducing the thickness of an optical filter 3 and optical filter support 4 in the direction of an optical axis. SOLUTION: The imaging device includes: a circuit board 6 for processing an electric signal converted from an image; a holder 5 which is placed on the circuit board 6 and in which legs, body, and support 4, located between the legs and body and has a hole 4A made in the center, are integrally formed; a condenser lens 1 mounted inside the body; an optical filter 3 placed on the internal face defining the circumferential edge of the hole 4A made in the support 4; and an imaging element 2 which is disposed on the underside of the support 4 so as to cover the hole 4A, which forms an image with light passed through the condenser lens 1 and the optical filter 3, and which converts the image into an electric signal and then outputs the signal.
