Patent ID: 8159595

Claim:
A camera module comprising: a case comprising: a first surface formed with a first opening for entering incident light; and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the second surface being formed with a second opening, a lens unit comprising a plurality of lenses and being mounted in the case; a first substrate comprising a front surface and a back surface opposite to the front surface, the first substrate comprising a first wiring, wherein the case is bonded to the front surface of the first substrate to seal the second opening of the case, a filter supported by the first substrate to face the lens unit; a circuit component disposed on the front surface of the first substrate to be electrically connected to the first wiring; a second substrate comprising a front face and a back face opposite to the front face, the second substrate comprising a second wiring, wherein the front face of the second substrate is bonded to the back surface of the first substrate such that the second wiring is electrically connected to the first wiring; and an image pickup device disposed on the front face of the second substrate to face the filter, the image pickup device being electrically connected to the second wiring, wherein the first wiring comprises: a first front pad on the front surface of the first substrate; a first back pad on the back surface of the first substrate; and a first connecting portion formed in the first substrate to electrically connect the first front pad and the first back pad, wherein the second wiring comprises: a second front pad on the front face of the second substrate; a second back pad on the back face of the second substrate; and a second connecting portion formed in the second substrate to electrically connect the second front pad and the second back pad.
