レンズとイメージセンサチップとの間の距離を正確に固定するための手段を備えたカメラ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006523326
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An imaging module (1) comprises a lens holder (50) for holding a lens, and a foot (30) for holding an image sensor chip. Both the foot (30) and the lens holder (50) are provided with a flange (35, 52) having inclined contact surfaces (36, 53). In an assembled state, the lens holder (50) is snap-fitted over the foot (30). The lens holder (50) comprises slots (56), whereas the foot (30) comprises ribs (37). When the ribs (37) are received by the slots (56), rotation of the lens holder (50) with respect to the foot (30) is prohibited, whereas movement of the lens holder (50) with respect to the foot (30) in an axial direction is allowed. In this way, a maximum axial distance between the lens holder (50) and the foot (30) is determined, which may be set to be the focal distance of the lens.
