Abstract

An image sensor module includes a rigid-flex board, an image sensor, a supporting plate, and a glue. The rigid-flex board defines a through hole, and includes a plurality of connecting pads adjacent to the through hole. The image sensor is positioned on one side of the rigid-flex board, and includes an image surface and a plurality of pins adjacent to the image surface. The image surface faces the through hole, and the pins are connected to the connecting pads. The supporting plate defines a receiving recess. The supporting plate is positioned on the side of the rigid-flex board. The image sensor is received in the receiving recess. The glue fills between the supporting plate and the rigid-flex board.

Claims (44)

1. An image sensor module, comprising:

a rigid-flex board defining a through hole, and comprising an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of connecting pads positioned on the lower surface adjacent to the through hole, the upper surface and the lower surface positioned at opposite sides of the rigid-flex board, the through hole penetrating the upper surface and the lower surface;

an image sensor positioned on the lower surface of the rigid-flex board, and comprising an image surface and a plurality of pins adjacent to the image surface, the image surface facing the through hole, and the pins electrically connected to the connecting pads;

a supporting plate comprising a top surface and a bottom surface at opposite sides of the supporting plate and defining a receiving recess in the top surface, the top surface positioned on and supporting the lower surface of the rigid-flex board, the image sensor received in the receiving recess; and

a glue filling between the supporting plate and the rigid-flex board.

2. The image sensor module of claim 1 , wherein the image sensor is surrounded by the glue.

3. The image sensor module of claim 2 , wherein the receiving recess comprises a supporting surface, and the supporting plate defines two position recesses in the supporting surface.

4. The image sensor module of claim 3 , wherein the position recesses penetrate the supporting surface and the bottom surface.

5. The image sensor module of claim 4 , wherein the glue fills in the position recesses.

6. The image sensor module of claim 3 , wherein the two position recesses are parallel with each other, and adjacent to two opposite sides of the supporting surface.

7. A camera module, comprising:

an image sensor module, comprising:

a rigid-flex board defining a through hole, and comprising an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of connecting pads positioned on the lower surface adjacent to the through hole, the upper surface and the lower surface positioned at opposite sides of the rigid-flex board, the through hole penetrating the upper surface and the lower surface;

an image sensor positioned on the lower surface of the rigid-flex board, and comprising an image surface and a plurality of pins adjacent to the image surface, the image surface facing the through hole, and the pins electrically connected to the connecting pads;

a supporting plate comprising a top surface and a bottom surface at opposite sides of the supporting plate and defining a receiving recess in the top surface, the top surface positioned on and supporting the lower surface of the rigid-flex board, the image sensor received in the receiving recess; and

a glue filling between the supporting plate and the rigid-flex board; and

a lens module, comprising:

a lens holder positioned on the upper surface of the rigid-flex board opposite to the image sensor; and

a lens unit received in the lens holder.

8. The camera module of claim 7 , wherein the image sensor is surrounded by the glue.

9. The camera module of claim 8 , wherein the receiving recess comprises a supporting surface, and the supporting plate defines two position recesses in the supporting surface.

10. The camera module of claim 9 , wherein the position recesses penetrate the supporting surface and the bottom surface.

11. The camera module of claim 10 , wherein the glue fills in the position recesses.

12. The camera module of claim 9 , wherein the two position recesses are parallel with each other, and adjacent to two opposite sides of the supporting surface.

13. An image sensor module, comprising:

a rigid-flex board defining a through hole, and comprising a plurality of connecting pads adjacent to the through hole;

an image sensor positioned on one side of the rigid-flex board, and comprising an image surface and a plurality of pins adjacent to the image surface, the image surface facing the through hole, and the pins electrically connected to the connecting pads;

a supporting plate comprising a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface and defining a receiving recess in the top surface, the receiving recess comprising a supporting surface, the supporting plate further defining two position recesses in the supporting surface, the position recesses penetrating the supporting surface and the bottom surface, the supporting plate positioned on the side of the rigid-flex board, the image sensor received in the receiving recess; and

a glue filling between the supporting plate and the rigid-flex board.

14. The image sensor module of claim 13 , wherein the image sensor is surrounded by the glue.

15. The image sensor module of claim 13 , wherein the glue fills in the position recesses.

16. The image sensor module of claim 13 , wherein the two position recesses are parallel with each other, and adjacent to two opposite sides of the supporting surface.

17. A camera module, comprising:

an image sensor module, comprising:

a rigid-flex board defining a through hole, and comprising a plurality of connecting pads adjacent to the through hole;

an image sensor positioned on one side of the rigid-flex board, and comprising an image surface and a plurality of pins adjacent to the image surface, the image surface facing the through hole, and the pins electrically connected to the connecting pads;

a supporting plate comprising a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface and defining a receiving recess in the top surface, the receiving recess comprising a supporting surface, the supporting plate further defining two position recesses in the supporting surface, the position recesses penetrating the supporting surface and the bottom surface, the supporting plate positioned on the side of the rigid-flex board, the image sensor received in the receiving recess; and

a glue filling between the supporting plate and the rigid-flex board; and

a lens module, comprising:

a lens holder positioned on the other side of the rigid-flex board opposite to the image sensor; and

a lens unit receiving the lens holder.

18. The camera module of claim 17 , wherein the image sensor is surrounded by the glue.

19. The camera module of claim 17 , wherein the glue fills in the position recesses.

20. The camera module of claim 17 , wherein the two position recesses are parallel with each other, and adjacent to two opposite sides of the supporting surface.
