[0002] Image sensors are electronic devices that convert light signals into electrical signals, enabling image capture and processing. They play an important role in a variety of devices and applications. When image sensors are put into practical application, they need to be packaged. The packaging of image sensors is a complex and precise process, aiming to protect the sensors from physical damage and environmental influences while ensuring their electrical and optical performance.

[0003] In the prior art, glass covers are essential for sensing image signals during packaging. However, in complex and bumpy environments, the glass covers are prone to falling off due to the point bonding between the glass covers and the substrate, affecting the use of the entire image sensor.

[0004] In addition, to further protect the sensing effect of the image sensor, the non-transparent cover is used to cover the part outside the sensing area to prevent light leakage. However, the non-transparent cover is also prone to falling off in complex and bumpy environments, affecting the use of the image sensor. INVENTION CONTENTS

It also solves the problem that light leakage affects the use of the image sensor due to the falling off of the non-transparent cover in complex and bumpy environments in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows:

[0007] An image sensor packaging structure, the structure comprising: a substrate, the substrate comprising a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface being oppositely arranged with the bottom surface; an image sensor fixedly arranged on the top surface; wherein the image sensor comprises a sensing area for receiving a sensing signal, one side of the image sensor containing the sensing area being an upper surface of the image sensor, and an opposite side of the image sensor being a lower surface; an isolation plate fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the image sensor and surrounding the outside of the sensing area; the inside of the isolation plate and the upper surface of the image sensor forming a light-transmitting cavity; an electric lead electrically connecting the substrate and the image sensor, and the electric lead being distributed on the outside of the isolation plate; a side wrapping plate, the side wrapping plate being arranged around the boundary of the substrate; the inside of the side wrapping plate, the top surface and the outside of the isolation plate forming a non-light-transmitting cavity; a non-light-transmitting filler, the non-light-transmitting filler being filled in the non-light-transmitting cavity, wherein the non-light-transmitting filler covers the electric lead; and a light-transmitting filler, the light-transmitting filler being filled in the light-transmitting cavity.

[0008] The technical scheme has the beneficial effects that the non-light-transmitting filler is filled to surround the side of the sensing area, the light irradiated on the area outside the sensing area is blocked, and the problem of optical sensing effect reduction due to light leakage is avoided.

[0009] Further, the non-light-transmitting filler is black non-light-transmitting filling glue.

[0010] The use of black non-light-transmitting filling glue can maximize the absorption of light and improve the optical sensing accuracy.

[0011] Further, the light-transmitting filler is light-transmitting filling glue with a light-transmitting rate of not less than 90% after solidification.

[0012] Further, the isolation plate is made of non-light-transmitting material.

[0013] The isolation plate is made of non-light-transmitting material, which can further block the light irradiated on the area outside the sensing area, and make the light-proof property of the side of the sensing area better.

[0014] Further, the structure further comprises a rib plate, the rib plate being arranged in the non-light-transmitting cavity, a first end of the rib plate being connected to the inner side wall of the side wrapping plate, and a second end of the rib plate being connected to the outer side wall of the isolation plate.

[0016] Further, the rib plate has a cross section in the shape of inverted T.

[0017] The utility model discloses beneficial effects:

[0018] This utility model patent avoids the use of a glass cover by filling the light-transmitting cavity with a light-transmitting filler, thus ensuring the structural stability of the sensing signal part of the sensing area and enabling good sensing function even in bumpy environments. By filling the non-light-transmitting cavity with a non-light-transmitting filler, the use of a non-light-transmitting cover is avoided, which effectively solves the light leakage problem in bumpy environments, thereby further improving the performance and product quality of the image sensor.

According to the image sensor packaging structure, the light-transmitting filler is filled in the light-transmitting cavity, so that the glass cover plate is avoided, the sensing signal part structure of the sensing area is stable, and good sensing function can be realized even in a bumpy environment; the non-light-transmitting filler is filled in the non-light-transmitting area, the side of the sensing area is surrounded, light irradiated on the area outside the sensing area is blocked, and the problem that the optical sensing effect is reduced due to light leakage is avoided. The non-light-transmitting filler is filled, the side of the sensing area is surrounded, light irradiated on the area outside the sensing area is blocked, and the problem that the optical sensing effect is reduced due to light leakage is avoided.
