Abstract

An image pickup device is provided with an optical system for taking the image of an object. A photoelectric converting element photoelectrically converts the object image taken by the optical system and an electric signal outputting board outputs an electrical signal from the photoelectric converting element. A position defining member defines the position of the optical system relative to the photoelectric converting element. The electric signal outputting board is positioned between the photoelectric converting element and the position defining member.
