Patent ID: 8878976

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a substrate including electrical circuits; an image sensor disposed on the substrate; a lens unit disposed on the image sensor, the image sensor to receive light through the lens unit to form an image; a lens holder holding the lens unit, wherein the lens holder and the lens unit are correspondingly threaded; a solid state die disposed on the lens unit and operatively coupled to the electrical circuits of the substrate, the solid state die including a plurality of electrodes to receive a voltage from the electrical circuits of the substrate to generate an electric field, a refractive index of the solid state die to change based on the electric field to focus the image formed on the image sensor from light received through the lens unit; and a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) having a first end and a second end, wherein the solid state die is disposed on the first end of the FPC and the second end of the FPC is disposed on the substrate, and wherein the solid state die is to be disposed on the lens unit when the FPC is folded; wherein the lens holder includes a plurality of alignment pins, wherein the first end of the FPC includes a plurality of holes conforming to the plurality of alignment pins of the lens holder, and wherein the plurality of alignment pins are inserted through the plurality of holes of the FPC when the FPC is folded into shape over the lens holder to hold the solid state die over the lens unit.
