  • Publication number: 20180027153
    Abstract: An image sensing module is provided, which includes an image sensor, a cover plate and microstructures. The image sensor has a light sensitive area for receiving incident light and a peripheral area surrounding the light sensitive area. The microstructures are directly on the cover plate. The microstructures map to and substantially cover phase detection auto focus (PDAF) pixels of the image sensor in a light incident direction respectively.

  • Patent number: 8830337
    Abstract: An electronic device with camera functions includes a housing and a camera module. The housing has a first opening and a second opening. The first opening is disposed on a display surface of the housing, and the second opening is disposed on a rear surface of the housing. The camera module is located between the first opening and the second opening. Therefore, a user can take a photograph for an object by the display surface or the rear surface of the electronic device facing toward the object.

  • Patent number: 8059155
    Abstract: A measuring system (200) for measuring a FOV of a digital camera module (52) includes a measuring chart (22), a parameter inputting module (32), and a processing module (42). The measuring chart defines a colored portion. The parameter inputting module is used to input relative parameters. The processing module is connected to the parameter inputting module and receives electronic image signals converted from images of the colored portion and of the measuring chart screened by the lens module. The processing module is configured for calculating the FOV ? of the digital camera module. A measuring method for measuring the FOV ? of the digital camera module is also provided.
