Patent ID: 8599263

Claim:
A camera module comprising: a lens unit including a casing portion and a lens; and a substrate portion on which an image pick-up element is mounted, wherein the camera module is assembled in combination of the lens unit and the substrate portion in an arrangement in which the lens and the image pick-up element are opposed to each other, wherein the substrate portion includes: a first substrate made of a resin; the image pick-up element mounted on the first substrate; an infrared filter supported on a light receiving face of the image pick-up element via a frame-shaped adhesive, a space between the infrared filter and the light receiving face of the image pick-up element being sealed by the frame-shaped adhesive; and a second substrate made of a resin supported on a surface of the infrared filter which is opposed to the lens, wherein the second substrate includes an opening portion extending entirely through a thickness of the second substrate and disposed in alignment with the infrared filter so as not to intercept an incident light, wherein a circuit component is mounted on the second substrate, wherein a resin is filled between the second substrate and the first substrate up to outer peripheries of the infrared filter, the frame-shaped adhesive and the image pick-up element; wherein the first substrate includes first pads and second pads, the first pads are connected to pads of the image pick-up element, and the second pads are connected to pads of the second substrate, wherein the infrared filter is provided on the image pick-up element within a region surrounded by the pads of the image pick-up element, as viewed from above, wherein the pads of the image pick-up element and the first pads of the first substrate are connected by bonding wires, and the resin covers the bonding wires and the pads of the image pick-up element, wherein the second substrate is bonded to the infrared filter via another adhesive which is provided around the peripheral edge portion of the infrared filter, and wherein the lens unit is provided above the second substrate, and the circuit component is mounted on the second substrate within a region surrounded by a contact portion between the lens unit and the second substrate.
