ENDOSCOPE IMAGING DEVICE AND ENDOSCOPE

To provide an endoscope imaging device and an endoscope whose sizes are small.SOLUTION: An endoscope imaging device acquires an image of an object to be observed, and comprises: a lens barrel internally provided with an imaging lens; an imaging element for receiving light passed through the imaging lens, and performing photoelectric conversion; a circuit board to which the imaging element is electrically connected; and a signal cable electrically connected to the imaging element. The circuit board comprises at least a first flat surface part, a second flat surface part connected to the first flat surface part by a first bent part, and a third flat surface part connected to the second flat surface part by a second bent part. The first flat surface part and the third flat surface part are parallel to an optical axis of the imaging lens. The second flat surface part is inclined with respect to the optical axis. The signal cable is electrically connected to a back surface of the third flat surface part opposed to the second flat surface part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】大きさが小さい内視鏡撮像装置及び内視鏡を提供する。【解決手段】観察対象の画像を取得する内視鏡撮像装置は、内部に撮像レンズが設けられたレンズ鏡胴と、撮像レンズを通過した光を受光し、光電変換する撮像素子と、撮像素子が、電気的に接続された回路基板と、撮像素子に電気的に接続される信号ケーブルとを有し、回路基板は、少なくとも第１の平面部と、第１の平面部と第１の屈曲部で連結された第２の平面部と、第２の平面部と第２の屈曲部で連結された第３の平面部とを有し、第１の平面部及び第３の平面部は、撮像レンズの光軸と平行であり、第２の平面部は光軸に対して傾斜しており、第３の平面部の第２の平面部に対向する裏面に、信号ケーブルが電気的に接続されている。【選択図】図２
