Abstract
The system and apparatus of the present invention are directed to a camera module in which an operational defect (generation of a ghost image) as a result of a reduction in thickness is eliminated. The camera module includes a substrate provided with a through-hole for light transmission, a light receiving portion provided on a first surface of an imaging element. The imaging element is flip chip mounted on a first side of the substrate such that the light receiving portion is exposed through the through-hole, and a shielding layer on a back surface of the imaging element wherein the back surface is opposite the first surface having the light receiving portion. A lens unit is mounted a second side of the substrate.
