Communication devices incorporating reduced area imaging devices

Since a small imaging device is used for a communication apparatus like radio/cellular phone, it is provided. In the 1st composition of an imaging device, an image sensor separates from the remaining image processing circuits, and is arranged. In the 2nd composition, all the image processing circuits containing an image sensor are arranged at the form accumulated near [same] the position. In the 1st composition, the whole imaging device can be arranged at the tip of a camera module. In the 2nd composition, an image sensor is separated from the remaining image processing circuits, and in order that the use space in a telephone may accommodate the remaining circuits, it is used. In all the enforcement forms, it is also possible to arrange only an image sensor to the 1st circuit board, or to include timing/control circuit in the 1st circuit board containing an image sensor. One or more processing boards can be put in the direction of Nagate along with the 1st substrate, or a video processing board can also be arranged in the housing of a communication apparatus.
