CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17983394 titled 'CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a camera module that includes a camera housing, lens assembly, image sensor, metal plate, and circuit board. The metal plate has two areas - one that overlaps the image sensor and another area around it. The second area of the metal plate has a slit or a recess concavely defined in its surface.
- The electronic device has a camera module with a lens assembly and image sensor aligned with the lens's optical axis.
- A metal plate is included in the camera module, with one area overlapping the image sensor and another area surrounding it.
- The metal plate is partially attached to a circuit board that is electrically connected to the image sensor.
- The second area of the metal plate has a slit or a recess concavely defined in its surface.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Smartphones and tablets: This camera module design can be used in smartphones and tablets to improve the image capturing capabilities.
- Digital cameras: The electronic device can be used in digital cameras to enhance the camera's performance and image quality.
- Security cameras: The camera module can be utilized in security cameras to capture high-quality images and videos.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Alignment: The camera module ensures proper alignment between the lens assembly and the image sensor, resulting in better image quality.
- Protection: The metal plate provides protection to the image sensor and circuit board from external elements and potential damage.
- Signal transmission: The circuit board's electrical connection with the image sensor allows for efficient signal transmission.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality: The alignment between the lens assembly and image sensor enhances the overall image quality.
- Enhanced durability: The metal plate and housing provide protection to the sensitive components, increasing the device's durability.
- Efficient signal transmission: The electrical connection between the circuit board and image sensor ensures smooth and reliable signal transmission.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a housing and a camera module in the housing. The camera module includes a camera housing, a lens assembly disposed in the camera housing, an image sensor disposed in the camera housing and at least partially aligned with an optical axis of the lens, a metal plate including a first area that overlaps the image sensor when viewed in a direction of the optical axis and a second area around the first area, and a circuit board at least partially attached to the metal plate and electrically connected with the image sensor. A slit that penetrates the metal plate or a recess concavely defined in a surface of the metal plate is defined in the second area of the metal plate.
