Abstract
A camera module (200) includes a lens module and a base (210) with a sensor installed thereon. The base is provided with at least two supporting protrusions (222) extending therefrom. Each protrusion is oriented the lens module, and the lens module is fixedly to and contacts with the at least two supporting protrusions. A colloid layer surrounding the sensor is sandwiched between the second end of the holder and the base. Electronic components are disposed on the circuit board and covered by the colloid layer.
Claims15
A camera module comprising:
- a lens module;
- a base provided with at least two supporting protrusions extending therefrom, each protrusion oriented toward the lens module and integrally formed with the base, each protrusion comprising a top supporting surface, and the lens module being fixedly supported on and contacting with the top supporting surface of each of the at least two supporting protrusions;
- a sensor directly attached to the base;
- and
- a colloid layer surrounding the sensor, wherein the colloid layer is sandwiched between the lens module and the base.

A camera module comprising:
- a circuit board provided with at least two supporting protrusions extending therefrom;
- a sensor attached on the circuit board;
- a colloid layer attached on the circuit board with the supporting protrusions extending through the colloid layer in a direction perpendicular to the circuit board, wherein the colloid layer surrounds the sensor;
- and
- a lens module comprising a lens barrel, at least one lens received in the lens barrel and aligned with the sensor, and a holder having a first end for holding the lens barrel and an opposite second end being fixedly attached to the at least two supporting protrusions and cooperating with the circuit board to sandwich the colloid layer therebetween.
