Abstract
A camera module includes a mount for holding a lens directly or indirectly, a cover plate glass with transparency fixed to the mount. A solid-state imaging device is mounted on the cover plate glass. The cover plate contacts a plurality of ribs formed in the mount, and the mount and the cover plate are positioned.
Claims40
A camera module comprising:
- an imaging device that converts light made incident on imaging area into electric signals;
- a cover plate that has a first plane to which the imaging device is fixed and a second plane that is opposite to the first plane, and transmits an incident light from the second plane to the imaging area of the imaging device;
- a lens that collects the incident light to the imaging area;
- a mount that holds a lens directly or indirectly and houses the cover plate;
- and
- a substrate that supports the cover plate and to which electrical signals output from the imaging device are inputted;
- wherein
- the second plane of the cover plate is abutted on an inner surface of the mount and then the positioning between the lens and the imaging device is set.
