ARRANGEMENT METHOD OF FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD IN LENS BARREL OF IMAGING APPARATUS, AND IMAGING APPARATUS USING FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD EMPLOYING THE ARRANGEMENT METHOD OF FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an arrangement method of an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit Board) in a lens barrel of an imaging apparatus, which can add a new function with equivalent size while maintaining the functions currently loaded to the imaging apparatus. PSOLUTION: The FPC 23 electrically connects between each of a plurality of movable optical members 21 and 22 constituting an optical unit and disposed so as to be movable in parallel to an optical axis direction and a control unit that controls the operation of the movable optical members 21 and 22. The FPC 23 includes wiring portions which include: extension portions 32 and 42 extending from the connection part with the control unit so that they can be fixed with respect to a fixed lens barrel; a fixed portion fixed to the fixed lens barrel; reverse bending portions 34 and 44 extending from the fixed portion, reversely bending in a loop shape and having distal end portions 35 and 45 at the distal ends thereof. The wiring portions connect the distal portions 35 and 45 to the movable optical members 21 and 22 constituting the optical unit. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
