Patent attributes
A digital still camera module includes a barrel (12) two lenses (10, 18), an aperture apparatus (16) having a transparent part, a filter (14) set on the transparent part of the aperture, and an image sensor (19). The lenses, the filter, the aperture apparatus and the image sensor are set in the barrel, with the image sensor being set at a bottom of the barrel, and the filter and the aperture apparatus being set below one of the lenses. Both lenses are upwardly convex. The encapsulation of the image sensor is by way of a CSP (Chip Scale Package), which includes a transparent glass cover (196). Pins extend down from a bottom of the image sensor, which enables a size of a circuit board (194) of the image sensor to be reduced. Thus the digital still camera module is relatively small and inexpensive, and has excellent optical capability.
