Abstract:
A camera module includes a lens unit, a holding member, and a fixing member. The lens unit includes a lens for causing light to enter an internal space. The holding member holds an image sensor for capturing an image formed by the light. The fixing member fixes the lens unit and the holding member. The fixing member is cured resin. The lens unit further includes a groove at least partially housing the fixing member, and having an opening which faces the holding member. In a state such that the lens unit and the holding member are fixed to the fixing member, more of the fixing member is exposed to the outside of the lens unit than to the internal space surrounded by the lens unit and the holding member.
