Abstract
In a camera module having an array lens, a first lens group has at least two lenses. A second lens group has a plurality of lenses corresponding to the lenses of the first lens group, the second lens group stacked below the first lens group and interposing a spacer part therebetween. An image sensor has an imaging region where light passing through the first and second lens groups is imaged. Also, a shielding unit shields portions excluding apertures of the lenses of the first and second lens groups, the shielding unit disposed between the first and second lens groups. The camera module has a lower optical system along an optical axis for smaller size, keeps light refracted from an adjacent lens from affecting an image, blocks leakage of light for imaging and increases definition of the image through signal processing.
