Abstract
A digital camera has a printed circuit board which comprises a main area and a flexible area. An optical sensor chip (e.g. a CCD) is fixed onto the flexible area. The flexible area has flexible character relative to the main area. Therefore, even if the printed circuit board is stressed, such stress will be almost or completely eliminated in the flexible area, so that the optical sensor chip and an optical lens can be coupled together in a precise manner.
