Abstract
The invention relates to an optical module for a cellular phone having an image sensor comprising a light sensitive upper side for detecting and converting optical signals into electrical signals, an imaging device for imaging the optical signals on the image sensor, and a circuit board comprising an upper side and a lower side electrically and mechanically connected to the image sensor. In order to create a particularly flat optical module, for example for integration into a cellular phone, the invention provides that the circuit board has a recess in which the image sensor is disposed such that a lower side of the image sensor is substantially located at the same height as the lower side of the circuit board.
