CAMERA MODULE AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONICALLY RECORDING IMAGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an alternative way by means of which pulling effects can be reduced in an image sensor having image cells. SOLUTION: The camera module and method for electronically recording images is disclosed. A camera module for electronically recording images has an image sensor with a plurality of image cells 14. Each image cell provides an electric image signal as a function of the intensity of incident light. Each image cell 14 has a light-sensitive element 16 for generating a light-dependent current, as well as at least one MOS transistor 18 which is arranged in series therewith. The gate of the MOS transistor 18 is at a fixed potential, and the light-dependent current flows through the source-drain path. In accordance with one aspect of the camera module and method, there is arranged at least one light source 26 in the region of the image sensor by means of which light source the image cells 14 can be illuminated.
