Abstract
An integrated image sensor and lens assembly comprises a lens barrel holding camera lenses coupled to a lens mount. The lens mount is further coupled to an image sensor substrate that has an image sensor lying on an image plane. The optical distance between lenses and the image sensor is tuned such that the focal plane of the lenses coincides with the image plane. Due to thermal expansion, this optical distance may vary thereby to cause the focal plane of the lenses to shift away from the image plane. The integrated image sensor and lens assembly further comprises spacers that couple one or more lens elements to the lens barrel. The spacers and the lens elements are configured such that the optical distance is maintained to be constant or substantially constant.
