FLAT CAMERA MODULE

摘要

The invention concerns a camera module mounted on a flat support surface (306, 606, 934) comprising an image sensor (302) comprising a rectangular image zone (304) in which an image is captured and a lens arrangement (307) arranged to form an image on the image zone of the image sensor, said lens arrangement having an optical axis (?) parallel to said flat support surface and comprising a plurality of lenses (308 to 310), said plurality of lenses comprising a lens (308) closest to said image sensor, said lens having an edge of a non-uniform diameter in a plane perpendicular to said optical axis, wherein the diameter of at least one part of said edge is larger than a minimum value required such that image points can be formed at opposite corners of the image zone, said plurality of lenses are of a size that is limited in a first dimension such that they fit between parallel planes that are parallel to the optical axis and separated by a distance smaller than said minimum value, and said first dimension is in a direction perpendicular to said flat support surface.
