IMAGING APPARATUS AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME

Alignment accuracy between an imaging element and a filming lens is improved. An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, a wiring substrate, a sealing section, and fitting sections. The imaging element includes an imaging chip and pads. A light transmission section that transmits incident light is arranged on the imaging chip, and the imaging chip generates an image signal on the basis of the incident light that has transmitted through the light transmission section. The pads are arranged on a bottom surface of the imaging chip which is a surface different from the surface on which the light transmission section is arranged and convey the generated image signal. The wiring substrate includes wiring that is connected to the pads, and the imaging element is arranged on a front surface of the wiring substrate. The sealing section is arranged adjacent to side surfaces of the imaging chip which are the surfaces adjacent to the bottom surface of the imaging chip and seals the imaging chip. The fitting sections are arranged in the sealing section, and part of a lens unit for forming an optical image on the imaging element is fitted into the fitting sections.
