Abstract

An image capturing module includes an image sensing unit and an optical auxiliary unit. The image sensing unit includes a carrier substrate and an image sensing chip disposed on the carrier substrate and electrically connected to the carrier substrate. The optical auxiliary unit includes a housing frame for covering the image sensing chip and a movable lens assembly movably disposed in the housing frame. The movable lens assembly includes a movable casing movably disposed in the housing frame, at least one optical lens group disposed in the movable casing, a microlens array substrate disposed in the movable casing, and a nonconductive photosensitive film layer disposed on the microlens array substrate for increasing the light absorption capability.

Claims (16)

1. An image capturing module, comprising:

an image sensing unit including a carrier substrate and an image sensing chip disposed on the carrier substrate and electrically connected to the carrier substrate; and

an optical auxiliary unit including a housing frame for covering the image sensing chip and a movable lens assembly movably disposed in the housing frame, wherein the movable lens assembly includes a movable casing movably disposed in the housing frame, at least one optical lens group disposed in the movable casing, a microlens array substrate disposed in the movable casing, and a nonconductive photosensitive film layer disposed in the movable casing and on the microlens array substrate for increasing the light absorption capability;

wherein all of the at least one optical lens group, the microlens array substrate, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer are fixedly disposed in the movable casing, and all of the at least one optical lens group, the microlens array substrate, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer are concurrently moved by moving the movable casing,

wherein the microlens array substrate includes a light-transmitting substrate disposed in the movable casing and a microlens array disposed on the bottom surface of the light-transmitting substrate for correspondingly facing the at least one optical lens group, the microlens array is composed of a plurality of micro lenses separated from each other, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer is disposed on the top surface of the light-transmitting substrate and correspondingly opposite to the at least one optical lens group.

2. The image capturing module of claim 1 , wherein the at least one optical lens group includes a first lens unit and a second lens unit, the microlens array substrate includes a light-transmitting substrate disposed in the movable casing and between the first lens unit and the second lens unit and a microlens array disposed on the bottom surface of the light-transmitting substrate for correspondingly facing the first lens unit, the microlens array is composed of a plurality of micro lenses separated from each other, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer is disposed on the top surface of the light-transmitting substrate for correspondingly facing the second lens unit.

3. The image capturing module of claim 1 , wherein the housing frame includes a first holder disposed on the carrier substrate and a second holder disposed on the first holder, the image sensing chip is disposed in the first holder of the housing frame, and the movable lens assembly is movably disposed in the second holder of the housing frame, wherein the at least one optical lens group and the microlens array substrate are fixed in the movable casing, and the at least one optical lens group is composed of a plurality of optical lenses.

4. An optical auxiliary unit applied to an image sensing unit, comprising:

a housing frame; and

a movable lens assembly movably disposed in the housing frame, wherein the movable lens assembly includes a movable casing movably disposed in the housing frame, at least one optical lens group disposed in the movable casing, a microlens array substrate disposed in the movable casing, and a nonconductive photosensitive film layer disposed in the movable casing and on the microlens array substrate for increasing the light absorption capability;

wherein all of the at least one optical lens group, the microlens array substrate, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer are fixedly disposed in the movable casing, and all of the at least one optical lens group, the microlens array substrate, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer are concurrently moved by moving the movable casing,

wherein the microlens array substrate includes a light-transmitting substrate disposed in the movable casing and a microlens array disposed on the bottom surface of the light-transmitting substrate for correspondingly facing the at least one optical lens group, the microlens array is composed of a plurality of micro lenses separated from each other, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer is disposed on the top surface of the light-transmitting substrate and correspondingly opposite to the at least one optical lens group.

5. The optical auxiliary unit of claim 4 , wherein the at least one optical lens group includes a first lens unit and a second lens unit, the microlens array substrate includes a light-transmitting substrate disposed in the movable casing and between the first lens unit and the second lens unit and a microlens array disposed on the bottom surface of the light-transmitting substrate for correspondingly facing the first lens unit, the microlens array is composed of a plurality of micro lenses separated from each other, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer is disposed on the top surface of the light-transmitting substrate for correspondingly facing the second lens unit.

6. The optical auxiliary unit of claim 4 , wherein the housing frame includes a first holder disposed on the image sensing unit and a second holder disposed on the first holder, the image sensing unit is disposed in the first holder of the housing frame, and the movable lens assembly is movably disposed in the second holder of the housing frame, wherein the at least one optical lens group and the microlens array substrate are fixed in the movable casing, and the at least one optical lens group is composed of a plurality of optical lenses.

7. The optical auxiliary unit of claim 4 , wherein the at least one optical lens group, the microlens array substrate, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer are carried by the movable casing, so that the at least one optical lens group, the microlens array substrate, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer are moved concurrently through the movable casing.

8. The optical auxiliary unit of claim 4 , further comprising a cover glass disposed between the image sensing unit and the movable lens assembly, and the optical lens group, the microlens array substrate, and the nonconductive photosensitive film layer of the movable lens assembly are disposed beside the same side of the cover glass.
