[0006] 1. The transparent layer 22 is disposed on the upper surface of the frame



SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide an image sensor package, which may be advantageously reduced the volume of the package.


[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide an image sensor package, which may be assembled easily and has a reduced manufacturing cost.


[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invent of an image sensor package includes a plurality of leadframes, a molded resin, a photosensitive, a plurality of wires and a transparent layer. Each of the leadframes have a first board and a second board located on a height different from that of the first board, and a chamber is defined upper a central of the plurality of leadframes. The molded resin is for encapsulating the leadframes, and is forming an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the first boards of the leadframes are exposed from the upper surface of the molded resin. The photosensitive chip is mounted onto the upper surface of the molded resin and is arranged within the chamber. Each of wires are electrically connected the photosensitive chip to the each second board of the plurality of leadframes. And the transparent resin is covered onto the each first board of the plurality of leadframes.


[0010] Furthermore, the transparent resin of the image sensor may be mount on the first board of the leadframes, the package may advantageously reduced the volume of the package, and may be assembled easily and has a reduced manufacturing cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Referring to FIG. 2, an image sensor package of the present invention includes a plurality of leadframes 30, a molded resin 31, a photosensitive chip 33, a plurality of wires 35, and a transparent layer 37


[0015] The plurality of leadframes 30 are arranged in matrix, each of leadframes 30 have a first board 32 and a second board 34 located on a height different from that of the first board 32, a chamber 38 is defined upper a central of the leadframe 30, and a middle board 40 is arranged within the internal of the chamber 38.


[0016] The molded resin 31 is made of industrial plastic by way of injection molding to encapsulate leadframes 30, and has a upper surface 42 and a lower surface 44. Wherein the upper surface of the first boards 32 of the leadframes 30 are exposed from the upper surface 42 of the molded resin 31, the upper surface of the second board 34 of the leadframes 30 are exposed from the upper surface 42 of the molded resin 31.


[0017] The photosensitive chip 33 is mounted onto the middle board 40 of the leadframe 30 and is arranged within the chamber 38.


[0018] Each of wires 35 are electrically connected the photosensitive chip 33 to the each second board 34 of the plurality of leadframes 30.and


[0019] The transparent resin 37 is covered onto the each first board 32 of the plurality of leadframes 30, therefore, the photosensitive chip 33 may be received optical signals passing through the transparent resin 37.


[0020] Please referring to GIG.3, a schematic illustrate showing an image sensor package of the present invention. Wherein a printed circuit board 39 is provided, the printed circuit board 39 is formed with a through hole 41, which is larger than the transparent resin 37. The printed circuit board 39 is covered over the first board 32 of the leadframes 30, and is electrically connected the first board 32 of the leadframes 30. Then, the photosensitive chip 33 may be received optical signals passing through the transparent layer 37 and through hole 41 of the printed circuit board 39, therefore, the signals from the photosensitive chip 33 may be transmitted to the printed circuit board 39 via the first board 32 of the leadframe 30.


[0021] To sum up, the present invention has the following advantages.


[0022] 1. Since the leadframes 30 are formed with a chamber 38, and the photosensitive chip 33 is located within the chamber 38 so as to the volume the package can be reduced.


[0023] 2. Since the printed circuit board 39 is directly covered over the first board 32 of the leadframes 30, on frame layer has to be provided. Thus, the manufacturing processes may be simplified and manufacturing cost may be reduced.


[0024] Wherein the second board 34 and middle board 40 of the leadframes 30 are exposed from the lower surface 44 of the molded layer 31, therefore, the lower surface of second board 34 may be electrically connected to a printed electric board, thus, the photosensitive chip 43 may enhance the effects of dissipation head


[0025] While present the invention has been described by way of an example and in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications. Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications.
