Abstract
A camera module includes a lens holder, a lens module, an image sensor chip, and a printed circuit board. The lens module is received in the lens holder. The lens module includes a lens barrel and at least one lens received in the lens barrel. The image sensor chip has a photosensitive area configured for receiving light transmitted through the lens module. The printed circuit board defines a top surface for receiving both the image sensor chip and the lens barrel thereon and an opposite bottom surface thereon. The bottom surface defines a plurality of recesses thereon for receiving the corresponding electronic elements therein by adhesives.

A camera module comprising:
- a lens holder defining a receiving portion thereof;
- a lens module partially received in the receiving portion of the lens holder, the lens module comprising a lens barrel movably engaged in the lens holder and at least one lens received in the lens barrel;
- an image sensor chip package mounted to the lens holder, comprising:
- a circuit board defining a top portion formed thereof, a bottom portion opposite to the top portion, and a plurality of board pads arranged on the top portion;
- an image sensor chip mounted on the top portion of the circuit board, the image sensor chip comprising a photosensitive area configured for receiving light transmitted through the lens module, and a plurality of chip pads formed surrounding the photosensitive area;
- a plurality of wires each electrically connecting one of the chip pads of the image sensor chip with a corresponding one of the board pads of the circuit board;
- an adhesive means applied surrounding the photosensitive area and covering the chip pad;
- a transparent layer mounted to the image sensor chip via the adhesive means, the transparent layer together with the adhesive means sealing the photosensitive area of the image sensor chip;
- a cover plate;
- and
- wherein the lens holder is adhered to the top portion of the circuit board, the bottom portion of the circuit board defines at least one recess for receiving at least one electronic element therein, the at least one electronic element electrically connected to the circuit board;
