Abstract
A camera module includes a first assembly including a first optical path conversion unit and a lens module, a second assembly including a second optical path conversion unit configured to refract or reflect light emitted from the lens module in a direction intersecting an optical axis of the lens module, the second assembly being configured to be coupled to the first assembly, and a third assembly including an image sensor configured to convert light incident through the second optical path conversion unit into an electrical signal.
Claims14
A camera module comprising:
- a first assembly comprising a first optical path conversion unit and a lens module;
- a second assembly comprising a second optical path conversion unit configured to refract or reflect light emitted from the lens module in a direction intersecting an optical axis of the lens module, the second assembly being configured to be coupled to the first assembly;
- and
- a third assembly comprising an image sensor configured to convert light incident through the second optical path conversion unit into an electrical signal,
- wherein the first assembly comprises a first bonding portion bonded to the second assembly, and
- wherein the second assembly comprises a second bonding portion bonded to the first bonding portion.
A camera module comprising:
- a first assembly comprising a first optical path conversion unit and a first lens module;
- a second assembly comprising a second lens module and a second optical path conversion unit configured to refract or reflect light incident through the first lens module in a direction intersecting a first optical axis of the first lens module, the second assembly being configured to be coupled to the first assembly;
- and
- a third assembly comprising an image sensor configured to convert light incident through the second assembly into an electrical signal,
- wherein the first assembly comprises a first bonding portion bonded to the second assembly, and
- wherein the second assembly comprises a second bonding portion bonded to the first bonding portion.
A camera module comprising:
- a first housing having a first opening configured to receive light along a first optical axis and comprising a lens module defining a second optical axis and a first converter configured to direct the light received along the first optical axis to the second optical axis;
- a second housing having a second opening configured to receive light along the second optical axis that has passed through the lens module and comprising a second converter configured to direct the light received along the second optical axis to a third optical axis;
- and
- a third housing having a third opening configured to receive light along the third optical axis and comprising an image sensor configured to receive the light received along the third optical axis,
- wherein the first housing comprises a first bonding portion bonded to the second housing, and the second housing comprises a second bonding portion bonded to the first bonding portion.
