Publication number: 20220342175Abstract: A method for producing a camera module. An objective is aligned with respect to an image sensor and is then fixed in position by being joined to a support that receives the image sensor, a housing that surrounds the image sensor, or an interposed connection structure as a joining partner. The objective is mounted on spacer elements, which are initially still movable, and is then aligned with respect to the image sensor by moving the spacer elements. After the objective is aligned, the spacer elements are welded to the objective and the joining partner. A camera module is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2020Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Nikolai Bauer, Andreas Moehrle, Moritz Winkler
