Camera, manufacturing method thereof and terminal

Abstract

The present invention provides a camera. The camera comprises at least an image sensor, a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) and a substrate; the FPC is arranged on the substrate; a position on the FPC is hollowed out; the image sensor is fixed on a position on the substrate, wherein the position on the substrate is corresponding to the hollowed-out portion of the FPC; and the image sensor is connected with the FPC through a signal line. According to the camera provided by the technical schemes of the invention, the position on the FPC, which is corresponding to the image sensor, is hollowed out, and the FPC is mounted on the substrate, the image sensor is fixed at the position corresponding to the hollowed-out portion of the FPC, and therefore, the overall thickness of the camera can be reduced by the height of at least one FPC (120 microns).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of optics, in particular to a camera, a manufacturing method thereof, and a terminal. Background technique [0002] "Thinness" is already one of the main fashion elements in the design of smart terminals, and end consumers are pursuing "thinness". Terminal manufacturers and suppliers are increasingly pursuing the manufacture and provision of thinner terminals. The thickness of the terminal generally depends on the maximum thickness of the component inside the terminal, and the terminal with camera or camera function generally depends on the thickness of the camera. Since the camera contains many components, generally, the module integrates a Voice Coil Motor (VCM for short, which includes auxiliary components such as coils and magnets), filters, image sensors, and printed circuit boards (Printed Circuit Boards). CircuitBoard (abbreviated as PCB), flexible printed circuit board (Flexible Printed Circuit Board,...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The structural design of this camera makes the thickness of the camera very large, and assembling it into the terminal will inevitably affect the overall thickness of the terminal; if the overall size of the terminal is reduced, the camera will protrude, which will greatly affect the overall appearance of the terminal

[0003] Moreover, the heat consumption of the camera of the terminal with camera or camera function is generally large, the temperature of the position corresponding to the camera on the terminal shell will be high, and the thermal experience of the end user is very poor. In the existing technology, additional components are generally added to dissipate heat from the camera, while Additional components generally increase the thickness of the terminal
