超薄型图像传感器
By employing an interconnected housing space design within the image sensor, the sensor components and circuit board are placed separately, solving the problem of increased thickness caused by traditional packaging. This achieves both thinness and structural strength, making it suitable for devices with thickness limitations.

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