  • Patent number: 8361830
    Abstract: An image sensor module having a light gathering region and a light non-gathering region includes an image sensor, a light blocking spacer, a lens layer and a fixing shell. The light blocking spacer is disposed on the image sensor and located in the light non-gathering region. The light blocking spacer has a through hole exposing a portion of the image sensor in the light gathering region. The lens layer is disposed on the light blocking spacer and covers the through hole. The lens layer includes a transparent substrate and a lens disposed on the transparent substrate and located in the light gathering region. The fixing shell located in the light non-gathering region wraps the sidewalls of the image sensor, the light blocking spacer and the lens layer continuously. The material of the fixing shell includes a thermosetting material. A method for manufacturing the image sensor module is also provided.
