Questions about Camera Module Innovation: 1. How does the unique sub-housing design impact the overall performance of the camera module? 2. What specific advantages does the slant portion of the sub-housing provide in terms of image quality and light capture?
Original Abstract Submitted
A camera module includes a lens barrel; a housing accommodating the lens barrel; an image sensor disposed, below the lens barrel, on a substrate in an optical axis direction of the lens barrel; and a sub-housing disposed between the lens barrel and the substrate, the sub-housing comprising an opening, a frame portion disposed on an outer portion of the sub-housing to surround the opening, and a slant portion disposed on an upper side of the frame portion. A height of the slant portion increases towards a direction of the opening in the optical axis direction.
