Abstract
A low-cost resin lens is disclosed for use in miniature cameras. The resin lens features a low profile that is particularly well-suited to consumer products such as smart phones. The resin lens is mounted to an integrated circuit die that is attached to a standard four-layer substrate. The integrated circuit die includes electronic and/or optoelectronic circuits to support digital image capture, transfer, and processing. Image correction software adjusts the image to correct for distortion introduced by the resin lens.
