  • Patent number: 7484901
    Abstract: The invention involves an image sensor camera module and a method of fabricating the image sensor camera module. The image sensor camera module uses a single-body type lens holder defined by a hollow cylindrical body having a shoulder protruding radially inwardly from an inner surface thereof. First and second lenses therein are spaced apart by a first spacer and a filter therein is spaced from the second lens by a second spacer. An image sensor is adhered to a lower rim of the body, and the filter is adhered to an upper rim thereof. All optical elements within the lens holder thus are affixed in fixed relative position compatible with a predefined focal length and axis. Moreover, the adhesively sealed interior of the body of the image sensor camera module prevents particulate contamination.
