  • Publication number: 20240340516
    Abstract: A focus adjustment method for a camera module equipped with an optical system, an image sensor, and a camera substrate to which said image sensor is mounted. The focus adjustment method includes a measurement step of measuring an installation position and an installation angle of the image sensor on the camera substrate, an adjustment step of adjusting a position and an angle of the camera substrate relative to the optical system, and an assembly step of assembling the camera substrate to the optical system after adjusting the position and angle of the camera substrate. The adjustment step includes adjusting the position and angle of the camera substrate based on the installation position and angle of the image sensor as measured so that a position and an angle of the image sensor relative to the optical system become a set position and a set angle predefined according to the optical system.

  • Publication number: 20240340532
    Abstract: A focusing adjustment method of a camera module predicts, before completion of securing of a camera board to an optical system, a shrinkage deviation amount by which the optical system and the camera board will approach one another. The focusing adjustment method adjusts a position and an angle of the camera board to separate, by the predicted shrinkage deviation amount, the camera board from the optical system as compared with a focusing attitude of the image sensor with respect to the optical system where the optical system is in focus on the image sensor to accordingly offset the predicted shrinkage deviation amount.
