CAMERA MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18504589 titled 'CAMERA MODULE
The camera module described in the patent application includes a housing with an inner space covered by a cover, a folded module with a reflective member, a lens module with multiple lenses, an image sensor module with an image sensor, and a sensor circuit board with an external circuit connection portion.
- The housing of the camera module contains the inner space covered by a cover.
- The folded module includes a reflective member that reflects incident light.
- The lens module consists of multiple lenses that transfer light reflected from the reflective member through the inner space of the housing.
- The image sensor module includes an image sensor that senses light transferred through the lens module.
- The sensor circuit board has a first surface where the image sensor is mounted and an external circuit connection portion that extends outside the housing for connection to an external circuit.
Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Automotive cameras - Medical imaging devices

Original Abstract Submitted
A camera module includes a cover; a housing having an inner space covered by the cover; a folded module including a reflective member reflecting incident light; a lens module including a plurality of lenses transferring, in a direction of an optical axis, light reflected from the reflective member through the inner space of the housing; an image sensor module including an image sensor sensing light transferred through the lens module, and a sensor circuit board having a first surface on which the image sensor is mounted; and an external circuit connection portion configured to connect to a connection edge of the sensor circuit board and extend outside the housing to be connectable to an external circuit. The connection edge includes a first edge portion disposed between imaginary surfaces extending from the opposing outer surfaces of the cover, and a second edge portion protruding farther outward than the first edge portion.
