Patent ID: 7551358

Claim:
A camera module having an array lens, the module comprising: a first lens group having at least two lenses, each having upper and lower lenses formed respectively on planar light entering and planar light exiting surfaces of a first wafer; a second lens group having a plurality of lenses, each having upper and lower lenses formed respectively on planar light entering and planar light exiting surfaces of a second wafer and arranged corresponding to the lenses of the first lens group, the second lens group stacked below the first lens group with a spacer part interposed therebetween, the spacer part having first and second spacers with an adhesive between them; an image sensor having an imaging region where light passing through the first and second lens groups is imaged; and a shielding unit for shielding portions excluding apertures of the lenses of the first lens group and the second lens group, wherein the shielding unit comprises a first shield formed on the planar light exiting surface of the first wafer, excluding the apertures of the lower lenses of the first lens group, to create first windows corresponding to the lenses of the first lens group; and a second shield formed on the planar light entering surface of the second wafer, excluding the apertures of the upper lenses of the second lens group, to create second windows corresponding to the lenses of the second lens group.
