Patent ID: 8891006

Claim:
A wafer level camera module comprising: an electrically controllable active optical element; an electrical conduction path from the active optical element to a mounting surface of the camera module, said electrical conduction path being configured to provide electrical contact between said active optical element and said mounting surface; a surface conductor located on said mounting surface of the camera module, the surface conductor being in electrical contact with said electrical conduction path and being configured to make electrical contact with a conductive path on a host substrate to which the camera module is mounted, the surface conductor being part of a first group of surface conductors for the active optical element; a second group of surface conductors arranged to be substantially co-planar with the first group of surface conductors; and a housing for receiving and containing elements of said camera module upon assembly thereof, said housing being operative to ensure proper relative positioning between said the first group of surface conductors and the second group of surface conductors.
