CAMERA MODULE FOR HEAT DISSIPATION AND GROUND AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17816759 titled 'CAMERA MODULE FOR HEAT DISSIPATION AND GROUND AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a camera module that includes various components to improve its performance and heat dissipation capabilities. Here are the key points:
- The camera module consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) with a conductive pad exposed on one surface.
- An image sensor is placed on the PCB, which captures the visual data.
- A conductive plate is positioned between the PCB and the image sensor, connected to the conductive pad on the PCB.
- An actuator is located above the image sensor and is responsible for adjusting the position of the lens assembly.
- To protect and shield the actuator, a shield can is placed around it, which is also electrically connected to the conductive plate.
- The conductive plate serves the purpose of dissipating the heat generated by the image sensor to the external environment through contact with the image sensor.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile phones and smartphones
- Digital cameras
- Surveillance systems
- Automotive cameras
- Drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
Problems solved by this technology:
- Heat dissipation: The conductive plate helps in efficiently dissipating the heat generated by the image sensor, preventing overheating and potential damage to the camera module.
- Component protection: The shield can safeguards the actuator from external elements, ensuring its proper functioning and longevity.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced performance: Efficient heat dissipation allows the camera module to operate at optimal temperatures, resulting in improved image quality and overall performance.
- Increased durability: The shield can protects the actuator from dust, moisture, and other potential hazards, increasing the lifespan of the camera module.
- Compact design: The integration of the conductive plate and shield can into the camera module ensures a compact and space-saving design, making it suitable for various applications.
