Abstract: An electronic device comprises a camera module comprising an infrared light filter for blocking infrared light and passing visible light. The infrared light filter comprises a filtering area, a peripheral area adjacent and peripheral to the filtering area and an opaque coating layer coating the infrared light filter in the peripheral area and blocking external light introduced into an image sensor and reducing flare artifacts.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hybrid Infrared Ray (IR) cut-off filter for a digital camera, which includes an absorption filter plate for absorbing infrared rays, a reflection coating layer formed on a top or bottom side of the absorption filter plate so as to reflect infrared rays, and an anti-reflection coating layer formed on the top or bottom side of the absorption filter plate opposite the reflection coating layer, so as to allow visible rays to pass through the anti-reflection coating layer. The hybrid IR cut-off filter can provide an excellent IR cut-off function even in a slim digital camera module. Also, the hybrid IR cut-off filter can prevent the image quality from being degraded due to the IR transmittance difference according to the change in the incidence angle of an incident light, thereby overcoming the problem of color difference according to the color temperature.

Abstract: An input apparatus includes: a light waveguide having a slanted lower surface; a light source for emitting rays in a direction to the light waveguide, the light source facing the lower slanted surface of the light waveguide; and an image sensor, disposed at one side surface of the light waveguide to face the light waveguide, and having a plurality of pixels for detecting rays guided through the light waveguide.

Abstract: A touch screen includes a touch panel providing an image for a user's information input, including a first image sensor, which is arranged at a side or disposed in a side of the touch panel for detecting an input position of the user using an image. A first lens system forms a plurality of pixel regions on an image pickup surface of the first image sensor and having a plurality of lenses, each lens for forming an image of an input member of the user, which is located within a corresponding angle of view, in a corresponding pixel region. An optional second lens system, arranged at another side of the touch panel, typically substantially perpendicular to the first lens system also detects an image of the input member.

Abstract: A bidirectional optical transceiver is disclosed. The transceiver comprises an optical fiber which is adapted to input/output optical signals and has a slant surface polished with an angle, a substrate having a groove formed on its upper portion to position the optical fiber therein, a wavelength distributor filter inserted into the substrate with a slant substantially matching the angle in the optical fiber, a photodiode positioned on the substrate to receive optical signals, a TO-Can having a laser diode that is positioned in a location opposite to the optical fiber to transmit optical signals, and a single housing adapted to mount the optical fiber, the substrate, and the TO-Can thereon.

Abstract: An optical image stabilizer for a camera lens assembly is disclosed, wherein the stabilizer includes a housing; a board disposed movably in the housing, the board and the housing being spaced apart from each other; an image sensor disposed on the board for transforming image information inputted thereto into electric signals; a plurality of wire frames for supporting the board, wherein both ends of each wire frame are coupled to the housing and the board, respectively; and a driving unit for correcting the position of the image sensor by moving the board according to degrees of trembling of user's hands. The driving unit on which an image sensor is mounted is present substantially on the same surface as the board itself, thereby allowing the downsize of a camera lens assembly.
