  • Camera module with EMI shield
    Patent number: 9007520
    Abstract: A compact camera module has an EMI housing configured to shield camera module components from electromagnetic interference and having defined therein a focus-adjustment aperture to permit an optical train to extend to at one end of an auto-focus range, and a light leak baffle partially overlaps the focus-adjustment aperture along the optical path outside the auto-focus range.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 10, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 14, 2015
    Assignee: Nanchang O-Film Optoelectronics Technology Ltd
    Inventors: Eddie Azuma, Chih Yen Liu, Josh Tsai, Emerson Yu, David Hsieh
  • Auto-focus camera module with flexible printed circuit extension
    Patent number: 9001268
    Abstract: A compact camera module is coupled at an image sensor end to a flexible printed circuit (FPC) and an FPC extension segment and is configured such that, upon folding the FPC onto the housing, one or more electrical contact pads disposed on the subject side of the optical train are coupled electrically with contact pads on the FPC extension segment from which MEMS actuator control signals are transmittable directly from the FPC to the MEMS lens actuator.
