AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional image sensor packaging methods result in increased housing thickness, limiting their application in thin devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Method used

The housing design employs a first space and a second space that are connected. The sensor assembly is installed in the first space, and the circuit board is installed in the second space. The sensor assembly is encapsulated by the circuit board, which reduces the amount of additional encapsulation material and lowers the housing thickness.

Benefits of technology

It achieves a thinner and lighter design for image sensors, improves structural strength and component stability, extends service life, and is suitable for devices with limited thickness.
