1. A camera module for an optical touch screen, which senses a position of an object touching a touch surface of the optical touch screen, the camera module comprising:
a housing in which one side a light-receiving hole is formed; at least one lens receiving light through the light-receiving hole and being configured such that an angle of view for a direction vertical to the touch surface is smaller than an angle of view for a direction horizontal to the touch surface; an optical path converting unit comprising a prism section configured to reflect light collected through the lens in the direction vertical to the touch surface; and an image sensor being arranged behind the lens transversely on a surface of the housing and perpendicular to a horizontal plane containing the light-receiving hole so as to be disposed in a direction horizontal to the touch surface, and configured to receive the light reflected by the optical path converting unit, wherein the optical path converting unit further comprises a lens section integrated with the prism section and configured to focus the light collected through the lens on the image sensor; and wherein the optical path converting unit is movable in a direction of an optical axis of the lens to adjust a focus with respect to the image sensor, the prism section comprises a total reflection surface configured to reflect the light focused through the lens section to the image sensor, and the lens section has an incident surface that is at least as wide as an exit surface thereof so as to receive all light passed through the lens. |
