  • Patent number: 6853504
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a camera lens system for image pickup devices, which is mounted in a mobile phone or personal digital assistant, and more particularly to a camera lens system for image pickup devices, which has a minimized overall length thereof to implement a micro lens, and in which lenses are formed to have suitable aspheric coefficients to reduce an incident angle of light on the lenses and improve the resolving power of the camera lens system. The camera lens system includes a first group lens having a convex, aspheric surface facing an object, a second group lens on which a light beam is incident from the first group lens and which is formed in an aspheric shape, an iris disposed at a side of the first group lens close to the object, a filter disposed at a side of the second group lens close to an image of the object, and an image sensor for converting the image formed through the first and second group lenses into an electrical signal.

  • Publication number: 20040041938
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an embedded type camera module. The embedded type camera module includes a transparent plate, an image sensor chip, a digital signal processing chip, and one or more peripheral chips. A circuit pattern is formed on one surface of the transparent plate which is connected with a connector. The image sensor chip is electrically connected to the circuit pattern and constructed to receive image signals inputted from the outside. The digital signal processing chip converts signals received from the image sensor chip into digital signals. The peripheral chips are mounted a printed circuit board formed in a product to be disposed in conjunction with the image sensor chip and the digital signal processing chip. The transparent plate, the image sensor chip, the digital signal processing chip and the peripheral chips are packaged together.
