1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a multiple chips image sensor, and in particular to an image sensor module having improved quality and reduced the volume of the package.
2. Description of the Related Art
Referring to
The above-mentioned image sensor module has the following drawbacks.
1. Because the image sensor 30 is bonded to the lower end face 14 of the lens holder 10 through the transparent layer 36, the image sensor 30 cannot be replaced when the image sensor 30 of the module is damaged. In this case, the overall module has to be treated as waste material, and other good elements in the module may not be recycled.
2. Because the transparent layer 36 is bonded to the lower end face 14 of the lens holder 10 by the adhesive, which may contaminate the surface of the transparent layer 36, poor optical signals may be obtained.
3. When the module is assembled, the transparent layer 36 has to be precisely positioned with the aspheric lens 26 and then bonded to the lens barrel 20. Once the positional precision deviates from the standard level, the overall module cannot be reassembled and has to be treated as waste material
4. The lens holder 10 has to be additionally provided to combine the lens barrel 20 with the image sensor 30.
An object of the present invention is to provide a multiple chips image sensor module having advanced test effort before assemble module.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a multiple chips image sensor module having a reduced and miniaturized package volume.
To achieve the above-mentioned objects, the invention provides a first substrate, which have a upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface is formed with a plurality of first connected ends, the lower surface is formed with a plurality of second connected ends. A photosensitive chip is arranged at the upper surface of the substrate, and is electrically connected the first connected ends by a plurality of wires. A lens holder is formed with penetrate hole at a central thereof, an internal thread is formed on the inner wall of the penetrate hole, the lens holder is mounted on the upper surface of the first substrate to encapsulate the photosensitive chip. A lens barrel is arranged within the penetrate hole of the lens holder and is formed with an external thread, which is screwed to the internal thread of the lens holder, the lens barrel is formed with a chamber and an opening communicating the chamber. An aspheric and transparent layer are placed within the chamber. A second substrate is formed with a first surface on which a plurality of signal output ends are formed, and a second surface on which a plurality of signal input end are formed. The first surface of the second substrate mounted on the lower surface of the first surface, then the signal output end are electrically connected the second ends of the first surface. And a chip located on the second surface of the second substrate and is electrically connected to the signal input ends of the second substrate.
Referring to
The first substrate 40 has an upper surface 52 and a lower surface 54, the upper surface 52 is formed with a plurality of first connected ends 56, the lower surface 54 is formed with a plurality of second connected ends 58.
The photosensitive chip 42 is arranged at the upper surface 52 of the substrate 40, and is electrically connected the first connected ends 56 of the substrate 40 by a plurality of wires 60.
The lens holder 46 is formed with penetrate hole 62 at a central thereof, an internal thread 64 is formed on the inner wall of the penetrate hole 62, the lens holder 46 is mounted on the upper surface 52 of the first substrate 40 to encapsulate the photosensitive chip 42.
The lens barrel 46 is arranged within the penetrate hole 62 of the lens holder 46 and is formed with an external thread 66, which is screwed to the internal thread 64 of the lens holder 64, the lens barrel 46 is formed with a chamber 68 and an opening 70 communicating the chamber 68. An aspheric 72 and transparent layer 74 are placed within the chamber 68.
The second substrate 48 is a flexible/hard combination board, which includes a flexible board 78 and a hard board 76, which includes is form a first surface 80 on which a plurality of signal output ends 84 are formed, and a second surface 82 on which a plurality of signal input ends 86 are formed. The first surface 80 of the second substrate 48 is mounted on the lower surface 54 of the first surface 40, then the signal output ends 84 are electrically connected the second ends 58 of the first surface 40. And
The chip 50 is a signal processor, which is located on the flexible board 78 of the second substrate 48 and is electrically connected to the signal input ends 86 of the second substrate 48 by wires 88.
The multiple chips image sensor module of the present invention has the following advantages.
1. Since multiple chips image sensor module of the present may test and package the chip and module in the different time, then assemble the chip and module, so that it may enhance the quality.
2. Since the lens holder is directly arranged at the first substrate 40, so prevent invent has a reduced and miniaturized package volume.
While 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.
