SMALL-SIZE IMAGING APPARATUS, IN PARTICULAR PHOTOGRAPHIC APPLIANCE OR CAMERA

摘要

The invention concerns a small-size imaging apparatus comprising a sensor (4) and an objective consisting of focusing lenses (8, 9, 10) arranged in a frame (12). The sensor is fitted to a first surface (16) of a support (18) which has an opening (20) opposite which is arranged the photosensitive surface (6) of said sensor. On the other side, at the second surface (22) of the support is fitted the frame of the objective so that the lenses are substantially aligned with the opening of the support and the photosensitive surface. The sensor consists of a semiconductor substrate defining the photosensitive surface and having at the periphery thereof pads or pins for electrical contact with the support.
