The invention discloses an
optical module and a mobile terminal, the
optical module comprises a
collimator, a photosensitive unit and a wiring structure, the photosensitive unit is arranged on the surface of one side of the
collimator, and the wiring structure is arranged on the surface of the side, deviating from the
collimator, of the photosensitive unit. The photosensitive unit and the wiring structure are directly formed on the surface of one side of the collimator. Therefore, the photosensitive unit and the wiring structure do not need to be bonded with the collimator through an
adhesive,and a bearing substrate does not need to be added for forming the photosensitive unit and the wiring structure, so that the thickness of the whole
optical module is reduced, and the occupied space ofthe optical module is smaller. Meanwhile, after the
adhesive between the photosensitive unit and the collimator and the
adhesive between the wiring structure and the collimator are omitted, the distance between the photosensitive unit and the display screen of the mobile terminal and the distance between the wiring structure and the display screen of the mobile terminal are smaller, so that the
signal strength is higher, and the photosensitive efficiency of the optical module is higher.
