Abstract:
1. An optical module for a camera device, said camera device including an image capturing element arranged on a base substrate portion, the optical module comprising: a top lens element and optionally further lens elements for imaging an object on an image capturing element, and further comprising a baffle defining a predetermined field of view of the image capturing element, wherein the baffle comprises a generally transparent baffle substrate portion having a front surface and a rear surface, a generally non-transparent first layer with a first opening on the front surface and a generally non-transparent second layer with a second opening on the rear surface, and wherein the top lens element is arranged directly on the rear surface of the baffle substrate portion in the region of the opening therein, wherein the baffle substrate portion is a carrier substrate for the top lens element, wherein the optical module further comprises at least one spacer between the baffle substrate portion and the base substrate portion, wherein said at least one spacer is not identical with said second layer, wherein the front surface of the baffle substrate portion is planar with the exception of the first layer, wherein all lens elements present are fully encapsulated by the substrate portions and the at least one spacer.
