A camera module according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a rectangular image sensor including an effective image area; and a rectangular printed circuit board on which the image sensor is mounted, wherein the effective image area includes a first side and is formed longer than the first side. and wherein the first side is parallel to the long side of the printed circuit board and the second side is parallel to the short side of the printed circuit board.

Description

technical field

[0001] Teachings according to exemplary and non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to camera modules, and more particularly to compact camera modules configured for mobile devices. Background technique

[0002] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] As the camera module can be miniaturized, the camera module comes to be mountable with various electronic devices including mobile terminals. Along with the improvement of the communication environment and the wide distribution of various mobile terminals capable of video calling, there is a need to develop a front camera module having a high-pixel image sensor capable of performing high-definition video calling.

[0004] Generally, a front camera module is arranged at a bezel area of ​​a mobile terminal. However, a front camera module with a high pixel image sensor is larger than a conventional fron...
