Patent ID: 8801304

Claim:
A camera module comprising: a cylindrical lens holder including a lens inside thereof; a transparent substrate disposed below the lens in the lens holder, the transparent substrate having a circumferential surface which is in contact with an inner surface of the lens holder; a driving-device disposed above the transparent substrate and moving the lens in a vertical direction in the lens holder; a substrate disposed below the transparent substrate in the lens holder and having a sensor unit on a front surface thereof and wiring on a rear surface thereof and in which the sensor unit and the wiring are connected with each other by a penetrating electrode; a driver IC for the driving-device disposed at a rear side of the substrate and driving the driving-device; a plurality of external electrodes formed on the rear surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the wiring and the driver IC for the driving-device respectively; and a wiring for the driving-device electrically connecting the driving-device with the driver IC for the driving-device, the wiring for the driving-device being provided so as to pass between the circumferential surface of the transparent substrate and the inner surface of the lens holder, wherein the transparent substrate and the substrate form a solid-state image pickup device.
