Abstract

A filter assembly includes a filter defining a light transmissive region for light of a specific wavelength range to pass therethrough, and a non-light transmissive first sheet body preformed and adhered to a surface of the filter. The first sheet body has a first opening with a shape conforming to that of the light transmissive region.

Claims (23)

1. A filter assembly comprising:

a filter defining a light transmissive region for light of a specific wavelength range to pass therethrough; and

a non-light transmissive first sheet body preformed and adhered to a surface of said filter, said first sheet body including a first light shielding sheet having a first opening with a shape conforming with and surrounding said light transmissive region, a first adhesive layer disposed between said first light shielding sheet and said surface of said filter and thereby adhering a first surface of said first light shielding sheet to said surface of said filter, and a second adhesive layer disposed on an opposing second surface of said first light shielding sheet and being spaced away from said surface of said filter, said second adhesive layer surrounding said light transmissive region and having an exposed adhesive surface for collecting dust thereon.

2. The filter assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first sheet body is an opaque double-sided adhesive tape.

3. The filter assembly as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a second sheet body adhered to another surface of said filter which is opposite to said surface thereof and having a second opening.

4. The filter assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a surface of said second sheet body facing away from said another surface of said filter has an exposed adhesive surface.

5. The filter assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said second sheet body is a double-sided adhesive tape.

6. A camera module comprising:

a base;

a carrier frame disposed on said base and including a surrounding wall extending upward from said base, and a top wall extending inward from a top periphery of said surrounding wall and defining an opening;

said surrounding wall, said top wall and said base cooperating with each other to define a receiving space communicating with said opening;

an image sensor disposed on said base and received in said receiving space;

a filter assembly including

a filter fixed to said top wall and covering said opening, said filter defining a light transmissive region for light of a specific wavelength range to pass therethrough; and

a non-light transmissive first sheet body preformed and adhered to a surface of said filter, said first sheet body including a first light shielding sheet having a first opening with a shape conforming with and surrounding said light transmissive region, a first adhesive layer disposed between said first light shielding sheet and said surface of said filter and thereby adhering a first surface of said first light shielding sheet to said surface of said filter, and a second adhesive layer disposed on an opposing second surface of said first light shielding sheet and being spaced away from said surface of said filter, said second adhesive layer surrounding said light transmissive region and having an exposed adhesive surface for collecting dust thereon;

a hollow casing disposed on and supported by said top wall; and

a lens received in an interior space of said hollow casing.

7. The camera module as claimed in claim 6 , wherein said first sheet body is an opaque double-sided adhesive tape.

8. The camera module as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising a second sheet body adhered to another surface of said filter which is opposite to said surface thereof and having a second opening.

9. The camera module as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a surface of said second sheet body facing away from said another surface of said filter has an exposed adhesive surface.

10. The camera module as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said second sheet body is a double-sided adhesive tape.

11. The camera module as claimed in claim 6 , wherein said surface of said first sheet body spaced away from said filter is located in an interior of said camera module.

12. The filter assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said filter assembly is assembled in a camera module, and said surface of said first sheet body spaced away from said filter is located in an interior of the camera module.
