An image sensor includes: a light source that irradiates a light on an
object; a lens body that converges a reflection of the light from the
object; a plurality of IC chips that receive the reflection passed
through the lens body; and a transparent member provided between the IC
chips and the lens body. The transparent member includes a refractive
index changing region provided at a portion opposite to a gap between
adjacent IC chips. A refractive index in the refractive index changing
region increases continuously or stepwise toward an inner portion of the
transparent member from a surface of the transparent member on an IC
chips side so that the refractive index changing region refracts a part
of the reflection to be incident into the gap to the IC chips.
