Portable electronic device and photography module of the same

Abstract

The invention provides a camera module used for a portable electronic apparatus. The module comprises a light-splitting component; a first light input terminal used for receiving a first light; a second light input terminal used for receiving a second light; a light output terminal used for sending out the first light from the first light input terminal or the second light from the second light input terminal; a reflector arranged on an upper part of the first light input terminal for reflecting the first light to the first light input terminal; and an image sensor arranged on a lower part ofthe light output terminal for converting the first light or the second light from the light output terminal into corresponding signals.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a camera module and a portable electronic device, more particularly to a camera module of a portable electronic device and a portable electronic device including the camera module. Background technique [0002] With reference to Fig. 1, traditional 3G camera mobile phone 100 is provided with second photographing module 130 on mobile phone front side 110, just like the photographing (video camera) module that general video phone is used; , just like a still camera module on a general digital camera. Generally speaking, due to different functions, the second camera module 130 usually has a lower resolution and a shorter focal length; while the main camera module 140 has a higher resolution and a longer focal length. [0003] Referring to FIG. 2a, a camera module 130 used in a conventional video phone includes a lens unit 132 and an image sensor 134, such as CMOS or CCD. The lens unit 132 can be composed of a single lens...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The above-mentioned camera phone 100 includes two camera modules 130, 140, each camera module 130, 140 must have its own image sensor 134, 144, otherwise it cannot work, but this will cause an increase in cost

Furthermore, although the mobile phone 300 only uses a rotatable camera module 310, this will increase the difficulty of mechanism design, and there are also doubts about insufficient reliability in use.
