Abstract:
A vehicular camera module includes a housing that houses an imager assembly and a main circuit board. The imager assembly includes an imager on an imager circuit board, a lens barrel, a lens holder and a flexible ribbon cable extending from the imager circuit board. The main circuit board has first circuitry disposed at a first planar side and second circuitry disposed at a second planar side. An electrical connector at the second planar side connects with an electrical connector of the flexible ribbon cable. The main circuit board is accommodated within front and rear portions of the housing, while the imager is accommodated within the rear portion and is not accommodated within the front portion. The imager views to exterior of the housing via an opening of the upper cover at the rear portion of the housing, and the lens barrel extends through the opening.

Claim (Index 16):
The camera module of  claim 15 , wherein said light traps comprise a plurality of shaped light absorbing elements that are spaced apart and shaped to trap light, and wherein said shaped light absorbing elements comprise a plurality of generally vertical ribs each having a first surface and a second surface opposite said first surface, and wherein said first surface of a given rib is closer to the windshield than said second surface of the given rib, and wherein said first surface is configured to be at an angle of less than or equal to five degrees relative to vertical and said second surface is configured to be at an angle of less than or equal to ten degrees relative to vertical when said camera module is mounted at the in-cabin side of the windshield of the equipped vehicle of the equipped vehicle, and wherein said first and second surfaces are different so that each of said ribs narrows towards its upper end, and wherein a ratio of a distance between adjacent ribs to the height dimension of the adjacent ribs is greater than one, and wherein, with said camera module mounted at the in-cabin side of the windshield of the equipped vehicle of the equipped vehicle, (i) said first surface is at an angle of zero degrees relative to vertical and (ii) said second surface is at an angle of five degrees relative to vertical.
