CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107141 titled 'CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The camera module described in the abstract includes a housing assembly with a housing, a first rear member, a second rear member, an image sensor, and at least one lens. The first rear member overlaps with a part of the printed circuit board and includes a plate that aligns with a first opening in the board. The second rear member has a thicker thickness than the first rear member and includes a support with a second opening for the first rear member. The image sensor is exposed towards the housing assembly through the first opening, and the lens is aligned with the optical axis of the image sensor within the housing assembly.

  • Printed circuit board with a first opening
  • Housing assembly with housing on one surface of the board
  • First rear member with a plate on the other surface of the board, overlapping with the first opening
  • Second rear member with a support and a second opening for the first rear member
  • Image sensor on the first rear member, exposed towards the housing assembly through the first opening
  • At least one lens aligned with the optical axis of the image sensor within the housing assembly
