Abstract
A lens module is disclosed. The lens module includes a substrate assembly and an array of lens units. The substrate assembly includes a main body and a supporting layer formed on the substrate assembly. The main body has a front surface, a rear surface opposite to the front surface, and at least one lateral surface connecting the front surface to the rear surface. The supporting layer has a planar configuration and is formed on the main body. The main body is made of a first material and the supporting layer is made of a second material different from the first material.
Claims20
A lens module, comprising:
- a substrate assembly comprising:
- a main body having a front surface and an opposing rear surface, the rear surface being on the image side of the lens module;
- and
- a supporting layer with a planar configuration formed on the main body to prevent the main body from deforming, wherein the main body is made of a first material and the supporting layer is made of a second material different from the first material, wherein the refractive index of the supporting layer is the same as the refractive index of the main body, and the ratio of the area of the supporting layer to the area of the entire rear surface is in a range about 50% to about 100%;
- and
- an array of lens units formed on the substrate assembly.
A lens module having an optical axis passing therethrough, comprising:
- a substrate assembly comprising:
- a main body having a central segment relative to the optical axis and a peripheral segment located between the central segment and a lateral surface of the main body, wherein the main body has a front surface and an opposing rear surface, the rear surface being on the image side of the lens module;
- and
- a supporting layer with a planar configuration formed on the main body to prevent the main body from deforming, wherein the supporting layer are formed corresponding to the central segment, the peripheral segment, or both the central segment and the peripheral segment,
- wherein the main body comprises a first material and the supporting layer comprises a second material different from the first material,
- wherein the refractive index of the supporting layer is the same as the refractive index of the main body, and the ratio of the area of the supporting layer to the area of the entire rear surface is in a range about 50% to about 100%;
- and
- an array of lens units formed on the substrate assembly.
An image-capturing assembly, comprising:
- an array of lens units;
- an image-capture element configured to receive light passing through the array of lens units;
- and
- a substrate assembly arranged between the array of lens units and the image-capture element and comprising:
- a main body having a front surface and an opposing rear surface, the rear surface being on the image side of the lens module;
- and
- a supporting layer with a planar configuration formed on the main body to prevent the main body from deforming, wherein the main body is made of a first material and the supporting layer is made of a second material different from the first material, wherein the refractive index of the supporting layer is the same as the refractive index of the main body, and the ratio of the area of the supporting layer to the area of the entire rear surface is in a range about 50% to about 100%.
