DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Please refer to FIG. 3, an image sensor package structure of the present invention includes substrate 40, a frame layer 42, a chip 44, wires 46, and transparent layer 48.


Please refer to FIG. 4. The substrate 40 has an upper surface 50, which is formed with a central region 54 and equal amount of the first electrodes 56 arranged at the each side of central region 54, each the first electrode 56 of adjacent side is corresponding electrically connected, so that the signal from one side of the substrate 40 may be transmitted to the adjacent side, and a lower surface 52. Each side of the lower surface 52 of the substrate 40 is formed with second electrodes 58, each side of the second electrodes 58 is less than the each side of the first electrodes 56 of the upper surface 50 of the substrate 40, then the second electrodes 58 are electrically connected to the first electrodes 56, so that the signal from the first electrodes 56 may be directly transmitted to the second electrodes 58 and through adjacent one side of the first electrodes 56 transmitted to the second electrode 58.


In the embodiment, the each one side of the central region 54 of the substrate 40 is formed with twenty-four first electrodes 56. One side of the lower surface 54 of the substrate 40 is formed with twelve second electrodes.
