CAMERA MODULE WITH SEALING GLUE
First Claim
1. A camera module, comprising:
- a substrate;
an image sensor comprising an active area;
a passive element, the image sensor and the passive element being positioned on and electrically connected to the substrate, the passive element located at a periphery of the image sensor;
a cover glass positioned above and covering the image sensor;
a lens holder positioned on the substrate and covering at least portions of the image sensor, the passive element, and the cover glass, the lens holder comprising an inner sidewall and an annular plate extending inward from the inner sidewall, the annular plate being positioned close to the cover glass at a side of the cover glass opposite to a side of the cover glass facing the image sensor;
a lens held in the lens holder and aligning with the image sensor, the active area of the image sensor being exposed to the lens through the cover glass and via the annular plate; and
glue applied between the cover glass and the annular plate to block passage of particles from the passive element to a center of the cover glass.

Abstract
An exemplary camera module includes a substrate, a holler lens holder, an image sensor, a cover glass, a passive element, and glue. The hollow lens holder is positioned on the substrate and includes an internal annular plate spaced from the substrate. The image sensor is positioned on the substrate and including a central active area. The cover glass is positioned between the image sensor and the annular plate. The active area is exposed through a center of the cover glass and via the annular plate. The passive element positioned on the substrate, within the lens holder. The glue is applied between the cover glass and the annular plate to seal a passage formed between the cover glass and the annular plate, thereby preventing particles detaching from the passive element from migrating to the center of the cover glass.
