In other embodiments, the electronic device 10 may be of the tablet, notebook, or the like type.
Referring to fig. 3, the camera module 12 includes a lens 121 and an image sensing module 123, the lens 121 and the image sensing module 123 are disposed at an interval, ambient light can pass through the lens 121 and directly enter the image sensing module 123, the image sensing module 123 can convert an optical signal into an electrical signal, and an image of a photographed object can be formed after further processing. The camera module 12 may further include a housing (not shown) to which the lens 121 and the image sensing module 123 are mounted and positioned by the housing, which may be mounted to the bezel 111 or the circuit board of the electronic device 10 and which enables the camera module 12 to be communicatively coupled to the processor of the electronic device 10 for further processing of images captured by the camera module 12 by the processor.
Continuing to refer to fig. 3, the image sensor module 123 includes an image sensor 1231 and an infrared filter 1233, the image sensor 1231 has a light incident surface a1 and a back surface a2 opposite to each other, the infrared filter 1233 is disposed on the light incident surface a1 and covers all of the light incident surface a1, and the lens 121 is disposed on the light incident surface a1 side and used for entering light. Further, the infrared filter film 1233 includes at least one of the infrared cut layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123 b. The infrared cut-off layer 123a is used to cut off light in the infrared band (750 nm to 1 mm), and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b is used to absorb light in the near-infrared band (750 nm to 1100 nm) to achieve the effect of suppressing near-infrared light.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the infrared cut layer 123a may be 3 micrometers to 6 micrometers, for example, the thickness of the infrared cut layer 123a may be 4 micrometers, or 4.5 micrometers, or 5 micrometers, or 5.5 micrometers, and the like. The thickness of the near infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may be 2 micrometers to 10 micrometers. For example, the near infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may have a thickness of 3 microns, or 5 microns, or 8 microns, etc. Further, the infrared cut-off layer 123a or the near-infrared absorption pigment layer 123b may be coated on the light incident surface a1 by a spin coating process, so that the thickness of the infrared cut-off layer 123a or the thickness of the near-infrared absorption pigment layer 123b is uniformly distributed, the consistency of the optical performance of the edge region and the central region of the infrared filter film 1233 is ensured, a good angle consistency is obtained while a normal imaging effect is ensured, the edge color difference of the imaging region is extremely small, and further, color cast between the central region and the edge region is prevented, so that the imaging quality of the image sensor 1231 is improved.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the infrared filter 1233 includes an infrared cut layer 123a and a near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b that are stacked, and one of the infrared cut layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b is located between the other and the light incident surface a 1. For example, the infrared cut-off layer 123a may be spin-coated on the entire light incident surface a1 of the image sensor 1231, and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may be coated on the side of the infrared cut-off layer 123a opposite to the light incident surface a 1. For example, the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may be spin-coated on the entire light incident surface a1 of the image sensor 1231, and the infrared cut-off layer 123a may be coated on the side of the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b opposite to the light incident surface a 1. Of course, in other embodiments, one of the infrared cut layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may be provided on the light incident surface a1 of the image sensor 1231, and the other of the infrared cut layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may be absent.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5 in conjunction with fig. 3, taking an example that the infrared filter 1233 includes the infrared cut layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b stacked, the transmittance spectrum of the infrared filter 1233 is shown in fig. 4, and the reflectance spectrum of the infrared filter 1233 is shown in fig. 5. Where the position of the angle of incidence gamma is shown in figure 3.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the comprehensive transmittance of the infrared filter 1233 achieves the infrared cut-off filtering effect, and for the light rays with the wavelength range of 430 nm to 640 nm in the human eye sensitive band, the average transmittance of the disclosed infrared filter 1233 for the visible light with the wavelength range of 435 nm to 565 nm reaches 90%, and the maximum transmittance thereof reaches more than 93.6%, so that the high transmittance of the visible light is achieved; the average transmittance of the infrared ray in the wavelength range of 700-1100 nm is less than 0.2%, and the maximum transmittance is less than 5%, so that the infrared ray is efficiently cut off; the average transmittance variation amount of the light source is less than 2% for the incident angle of 0-40 degrees, and the angle consistency is good, so that the normal imaging effect can be ensured, and the effect of no chromatic aberration at the edge can be realized.
As can be seen from fig. 5, the average reflectance of visible light in the wavelength range of 400 nm to 700 nm is less than 2% and the highest reflectance is less than 6% within the incident angle range of 0 to 40 °; this shows that even in the case where light is incident at a large angle, a lower reflectance can be achieved, and thus an effect of reducing glare or ghost can be achieved.
In the image sensor module 123, since all the light incident surfaces a1 of the image sensor 1231 are covered with the infrared filter film 1233, the infrared filter film 1233 may include at least one of the infrared cut-off layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b, and the infrared filter film 1233 may be formed on the light incident surface a1 by a coating or filming process, which is simple in processing process, and can obtain high processing efficiency, so as to obtain the infrared filter film 1233 with relatively small thickness. On one hand, compared with the scheme of coating the surface of the blue glass or resin substrate with the thickness of 0.21 mm or 0.11 mm in the traditional infrared filter, the infrared filter 1233 has smaller thickness; on the other hand, since the infrared filter film 1233 is formed on the light incident surface a1 of the image sensor 1231, the camera module 12 does not need to be provided with a bracket for installing a conventional infrared filter, and does not need to reserve a gap between the lens 121 and the bracket, and between the bracket and the image sensor 1231, so that the overall thickness of the camera module 12 can be effectively reduced, thereby being beneficial to the thin design of the camera module 12. When camera module 12 is applied to electronic equipment 10 such as smart phone, the scheme of this disclosure can reduce the height that camera module 12 protrudes in electronic equipment 10 casing to be favorable to electronic equipment 10's frivolous design, with the outward appearance characteristic that promotes electronic equipment 10.
In addition, in the related art, when the infrared filter is disposed on the bracket or the infrared filter is bonded to the image sensor 1231 through the optical adhesive, a gap exists between the infrared filter and the image sensor 1231, and the gap distance is short. The surface of the infrared filter may generate a strong reflection effect on light, and particularly for light incident at a large angle, for example, light incident at 45 °, strong reflected light may appear in a visible light band, and the strong reflected light is overlapped with the reflected light on the surface of the image sensor 1231, which may cause a problem of significant glare or ghost, and affect the imaging quality of the camera module 12. Especially, when a user takes a picture in the backlight, because the incident light is stronger, the phenomena of glare or ghost are more obvious. According to the scheme of the disclosure, the infrared filter film 1233 is arranged on the surface of the image sensor 1231, the infrared filter film 1233 can comprise at least one of the infrared cut-off layer 123a and the near-infrared absorption pigment layer 123b, and the glare or ghost problem caused by the conventional infrared filter can be effectively reduced while the height of the camera module 12 is reduced, so that the shooting quality of the camera module 12 is improved.
With continued reference to fig. 2 and 3, the electronic device 10 may include a protective cover 115 covering the lens 121, at least one of a side of the lens 121 facing the protective cover 115 and the protective cover 115 being provided with a antireflection layer 116. The material of the protective cover plate 115 may be white glass, sapphire, or plastic, and the protective cover plate 115 is used for protecting the lens 121 of the camera module 12. The electronic device 10 may include a rear cover 117 mounted on the middle frame 111, wherein the rear cover 117 and the display module 113 are disposed on opposite sides of the middle frame 111 to form a mounting space, and the mounting space may be used to mount a battery, a circuit board, the camera module 12, and the like of the electronic device 10. In some embodiments, the rear cover 117 is formed with a through hole for transmitting light, and the camera module 12 and the protective cover 115 are disposed corresponding to the through hole. In other embodiments, the protective cover 115 is part of the rear cover 117. For example, in the embodiment where the rear cover 117 is made of glass, a partial area of the inner surface of the rear cover 117 may not be covered with the decoration layer, and the portion of the rear cover 117 not covered with the decoration layer may be disposed corresponding to the camera module 12, so that the ambient light can penetrate through the rear cover 117 and enter the camera module 12.
The thickness of the antireflection layer 116 may be 0.1 to 0.2 microns, for example, the thickness of the antireflection layer 116 may be 0.13 mm, or 0.15 mm, or 0.18 mm, etc. In some embodiments, the antireflection layer 116 may be formed on at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the protective cover sheet 115 using a spin coating process. For example, the anti-reflection layer 116 may be spin-coated on the inner surface of the protective cover 115, may be spin-coated on the outer surface of the protective cover 115, or may be spin-coated on both the inner and outer surfaces of the protective cover 115. The anti-reflection layer 116 can weaken the reflection of incident light by using the coherent principle of light, thereby improving the imaging quality of the camera module 12. In some embodiments, the anti-reflection layer 116 may also be used to cut off ultraviolet light, for example, the anti-reflection layer 116 may include a material having ultraviolet light absorption to absorb ultraviolet light in a wavelength band of 350 nm to 380 nm, which has relatively high transmittance in the ultraviolet light wavelength band. Of course, in some embodiments, a material for cutting off ultraviolet light may be added to the near-infrared absorbing dye layer 123b to absorb ultraviolet light in a wavelength band of 350 nm to 380 nm, in which transmittance is relatively high in the ultraviolet light wavelength band. In other embodiments, the anti-reflective layer 116 may be coated on the surface of the lens 121. For example, in an embodiment where the lens 121 includes a plurality of lenses, the antireflection layer 116 may be applied to the surface of the lens 121 closest to the protective cover 115 to reduce the reflection of incident light and improve the imaging quality of the camera module 12.
Further, referring to fig. 6, 7 and 8, in other embodiments, the infrared filter 1233 includes one of the infrared cut-off layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b and is spin-coated on the light incident surface a1, and the other of the infrared cut-off layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b is spin-coated on the protective cover 115 or the lens 121. In other words, in this embodiment, one of the infrared cut layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may be spin-coated on the image sensor 1231, so that the image sensor 1231 has a smaller thickness, and the other of the infrared cut layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may be spin-coated on the lens 121 or the protective cover 115. For example, the light incident surface a1 of the image sensor 1231 may be spin-coated with the infrared cut-off layer 123a, and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may be spin-coated on the surface of the lens 121 or the surface of the protective cover 115. Specifically, when the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b is spin-coated on the lens 121, it may be spin-coated on the lens closest to the protective cover 115, on the surface of the lens closest to the image sensor 1231, or on the surface of one or more lenses inside the lens 121. When the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b is spin-coated on the protective cover 115, the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may be spin-coated on a surface (i.e., an inner surface) of the protective cover 115 facing the lens 121, or may be spin-coated on a surface (i.e., an outer surface) of the protective cover 115 facing away from the lens 121, or both inner and outer surfaces of the protective cover 115 may be spin-coated with the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123 b.
For example, the light incident surface a1 of the image sensor 1231 may be spin-coated with the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b, and the infrared cut-off layer 123a may be spin-coated on the surface of the lens 121 or the surface of the protective cover 115. Specifically, when the infrared cut-off layer 123a is spin-coated on the lens 121, it may be spin-coated on the lens closest to the protective cover 115, on the surface of the lens closest to the image sensor 1231, or on the surface of one or more lenses inside the lens 121. When the ir-cut layer 123a is spin-coated on the protective cover 115, it may be spin-coated on the surface (i.e. inner surface) of the protective cover 115 facing the lens 121, or spin-coated on the surface (i.e. outer surface) of the protective cover 115 facing away from the lens 121, or spin-coated on both inner and outer surfaces of the protective cover 115.
In other embodiments, the protective cover 115 may be provided with at least one of the antireflection layer 116, the infrared cut layer 123a, and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123 b. In other words, in this embodiment, the protective cover 115 is not limited to providing one of the antireflection layer 116, the infrared cut layer 123a, and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123 b. For example, any one of the antireflection layer 116, the infrared cut layer 123a, and the near-infrared absorbing dye layer 123b may be provided on the surface of the protective cover 115, any two of the antireflection layer 116, the infrared cut layer 123a, and the near-infrared absorbing dye layer 123b may be provided, or the antireflection layer 116, the infrared cut layer 123a, and the near-infrared absorbing dye layer 123b may be provided on the protective cover 115. In this embodiment, any one of the reflection reducing layer 116, the infrared cut layer 123a, and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b may be provided on the outer surface side or the inner surface side, and when any two of the reflection reducing layer 116, the infrared cut layer 123a, and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b are stacked, the stacking order thereof is not limited.
In the above embodiment, the lens 121 or the image sensor 1231 may not need to be repeatedly disposed on the film layer already provided on the protective cover 115, so that the overall thickness of the image sensor 1231 may be reduced, and the thin design of the camera module 12 is facilitated, so that the thickness of the electronic device 10 may be thinner. For example, when the protective cover 115 is provided with the infrared cut-off layer 123a, the image sensor 1231 or the lens 121 may not need to be provided with the infrared cut-off layer 123a, and the infrared filter 1233 of the image sensing module 123 may include the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123 b. For another example, when the protective cover 115 is provided with the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b, the image sensor 1231 or the lens 121 does not need to be provided with the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b, and the infrared filter 1233 of the image sensing module 123 may include the infrared cut-off layer 123 a. For another example, when the protective cover 115 is provided with the antireflection layer 116, the lens 121 does not need to be provided with the antireflection layer 116.
Of course, it is understood that, in the case of the infrared cut-off layer 123a (or the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b) already provided on the protective cover 115, the light incident surface a1 of the image sensor 1231 or the lens 121 may still be provided with the infrared cut-off layer 123a (or the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b) repeatedly, so as to further improve the imaging quality of the camera module 12. For example, the protective cover 115 may be provided with at least one of the infrared cut layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b, the lens 121 may be provided with at least one of the infrared cut layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123b, and the infrared filter 1233 may include at least one of the infrared cut layer 123a and the near-infrared absorbing pigment layer 123 b. In this embodiment, the antireflection layer 117 may be provided on the side of the lens 121 facing the protective cover 115 or on the protective cover 115.
