ABSTRACT:
An image pickup apparatus or method of the present invention decreases the diameter of an image pickup device assembly by decreasing the thickness of the assembly. A conductor lead (inner lead of TAB product) is formed on a terminal of a CCD so as to protrude from the outer periphery of the main frame of an image pickup device body in accordance with the TAB (Tape Automated Bonding) method capable of realizing mass production, a cover glass is set so that an air gap is formed between the CCD and its image pickup plane side, and thereby an image pickup device body is formed. Moreover, the image pickup device body is set to an aperture of a circuit board to connect the conductor lead to a terminal at the circuit board side. Thereby, it is unnecessary to use a conventional box-type package for storing the CCD.
