Abstract

A camera module includes a lens module, an image sensor, and a circuit board. The image sensor module is disposed in an image side of the lens module. The circuit board is electronically connected with the image sensor module. The circuit board includes a receiving chamber defined therein. The receiving chamber receives the image sensor module. The lens module is mounted on the circuit board and covers the receiving chamber. The image sensor module is fixed in the receiving chamber that is defined in the circuit board therein. Therefore, a thickness of the camera module along the axis of the camera module is decreased and a volume of the camera module becomes thinner compare with the conventional camera module.

Claims (5)

1. A camera module, comprising:

a lens module;

an image sensor module disposed at an image side of the lens module; and

a circuit board electronically connected with the image sensor module for transmitting signals from the image sensor module and comprising two flexible boards and two stiff boards being disposed on the two flexible boards, a receiving chamber defined in the two stiff boards for receiving the image sensor module therein, the lens module being mounted on the circuit board and covering the receiving chamber.

2. The camera module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the circuit board comprises a plurality of pads disposed in the bottom surface of the receiving chamber and configured for transmitting signals from the image sensor.
