Abstract: According to one embodiment, a camera module includes an insulating substrate having an imaging device, solder balls, a cylindrical lens holder, a shield, and a mounting board. The solder balls are formed on a rear face of the substrate. The lens holder is fixed on the substrate and includes an upper larger-diameter portion and a lower smaller-diameter portion. The shield includes a cylindrical side portion fitted onto the small-diameter portion and fixed on the rear face of the large-diameter portion and a plate-shaped bottom portion in contact with the rear face of the substrate and having an opening. The mounting board is on an upper surface of which the plate-shaped bottom portion is mounted to come in contact with the upper surface and the insulating substrate or the imaging device is connected with the upper surface by the plurality of solder balls.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a camera module includes an insulating substrate 13 having an imaging device 18, solder balls 21, a cylindrical lens holder 14, a shield 12, and a mounting board 11. The solder balls 21 are formed on a rear face of the substrate 13. The lens holder 14 is fixed on the substrate 13 and is composed of an upper large-diameter portion 14-1 and a lower small-diameter portion 14-2. The shield 12 is composed of a cylindrical side portion 12-2 fitted onto the small-diameter portion 14-2 and fixed on the rear face of the large-diameter portion 14-1 and a plate-shaped bottom portion 12-1 in contact with the rear face of the substrate 13 and having an opening. The mounting board 11 is on an upper surface of which the plate-shaped bottom portion 12-1 is so mounted as to come in contact with the upper surface and the insulating substrate 13 or the imaging device 18 is connected with the upper surface by the plurality of solder balls 21.

Abstract: The camera module comprises: an insulating substrate 13 having an imaging device 18 on a front face thereof and a plurality of solder balls 21 on a rear face thereof; a cylindrical lens holder 14 securely fixed on the substrate 13, composed of an upper large-diameter portion 14-1 and a lower small-diameter portion 14-2 and having a lens 15 therein; a cylindrical shield 12 fitted onto the small-diameter portion 14-2 of the lens holder and composed of a cylindrical side portion 12-2 fixed on the large-diameter portion 14-1 of the lens holder and a plate-shaped bottom portion 12-1 in contact with the rear face of the insulating substrate 13 and having an opening 12-1a for conduction; and a mounting board 11 connected with the insulating substrate 13 by the plurality of solder balls 21 formed on the rear face of the insulating substrate 13.

Abstract: A camera module in which a shield having a lens holder therein can be fixed with high accuracy is provided. The camera module comprises: an insulating substrate 13 having an imaging device 18 on a front face thereof and a plurality of solder balls 21 on a rear face thereof; a cylindrical lens holder 14 securely fixed on the substrate 13, composed of an upper large-diameter portion 14-1 and a lower small-diameter portion 14-2 and having a lens 15 therein; a cylindrical shield 12 fitted onto the small-diameter portion 14-2 of the lens holder and composed of a cylindrical side portion 12-2 fixed on the large-diameter portion 14-1 of the lens holder and a plate-shaped bottom portion 12-1 in contact with the rear face of the insulating substrate 13 and having an opening 12-1a for conduction; and a mounting board 11 connected with the insulating substrate 13 by the plurality of solder balls 21 formed on the rear face of the insulating substrate 13.
