An integrated image sensor and lens assembly is disclosed that includes an image sensor assembly defining an optical axis; a lens holder; and a lens barrel. The lens holder is coupled to the image sensor assembly and includes a tubular body portion terminating in a tapered surface that extends at an angle to the optical axis. The lens barrel is coupled to the lens holder by an adhesive that is applied between the lens holder and the lens barrel such that the adhesive extends in non-perpendicular relation to the optical axis.

Integrated image sensor and lens assembly

An integrated image sensor and lens assembly is disclosed that includes: an image sensor assembly defining an optical axis; a lens holder; and a lens barrel. The lens holder is coupled to the image sensor assembly and includes a tubular body portion terminating in a tapered surface that extends at an angle to the optical axis. The lens barrel is coupled to the lens holder by an adhesive that is applied between the lens holder and the lens barrel such that the adhesive extends in non-perpendicular relation to the optical axis.

An integrated image sensor and lens assembly comprises an image sensor substrate, an image sensor assembly mounted on the image sensor substrate and housing an image sensor, the image sensor assembly having one or more side walls, a lens barrel including one or more lenses, and an adhesive formed between a region of the lens barrel and the one or more side walls, the region being directly adhered to the one or more side walls via the adhesive.

An integrated image sensor and lens assembly comprises a lens barrel adhered to a lens holder or a lens barrel adhered to an image sensor assembly using an adhesive. The lens barrel and lens holder or the lens barrel and the image sensor assembly are bonded based on the sheer strength of the adhesive. Thus, adhesive expansion does not substantially affect the distance between the lens and the image sensor and therefore does not affect the focal plane of the assembly.
