Abstract: A flip-chip image-sensor package includes a substrate, a coverglass, a conductive layer, and an image sensor. The substrate has an aperture therethrough and a first region and a second region each at least partially surrounding the aperture. The aperture has a first width defined by a boundary of the first region, and a second width defined by a boundary of the second region, wherein the second width exceeds the first width. The coverglass spans the aperture and is located on a top surface of the first region. The conductive layer adjoins the substrate. The image sensor is located beneath the coverglass and is electrically connected to the conductive layer.

Abstract: A continuous autofocus system includes an image generation portion including a lens, an autofocus voice coil motor for translating the lens with respect to an image sensor capable of generating image data. The autofocus system further includes a driver IC for controlling the autofocus voice coil motor based on the image data, wherein the image data is directly transmitted to the driver IC thereby continuously maintaining a focused image generated by the image generation portion.

Abstract: A signal-strength enhancing structure for use in a mobile communication device, includes a mobile casing having an accommodation plate for receiving the mobile communication device thereon and a lateral portion extending outwardly from a periphery confining the accommodation plate to enclose the mobile communication device at least partially once placed on the accommodation plate; and a metal element connected to the mobile communication device via a gap-coupled device.
