Patent ID: 8558938

Claim:
A camera module comprising: a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) having an image sensor directly mounted thereon; a holder on the PCB, wherein one side of the holder is formed with an optical transmission hole and the other side of the holder is opened; and the holder comprises a lens mounting portion, a fixture ring mounting portion, and a tapered-off infusion portion formed at a bottom surface of the fixture ring mounting portion and configured to pour in an adhesive; at least one lens disposed in the lens mounting portion; and a fixture ring, wherein a lateral surface of the fixture ring is fixed to an inner surface of the holder by the adhesive poured through the infusion portion, wherein an upper surface of the fixture ring supports a bottom surface edge of the lens nearest to the image sensor, wherein a bottom surface of the fixture ring is directly fixed to an upper surface of the image sensor, wherein the fixture ring comprises a filter seating portion having a filter mounted therein and comprising a first region formed at an upper surface thereof and a second region formed at a lower surface thereof, wherein the first region of the filter seating portion has a tapered-off shape such that an inner opening of the first region becomes narrower as a distance from the image sensor increases, wherein the second region of the filter seating portion has a width that is greater than that of the first region of the filter seating portion, and wherein the image sensor is disposed between the fixture ring and the PCB.
