Camera Modules

1. Overview

Camera modules are integrated optoelectronic devices that convert optical images into digital signals. As critical components in sensors and transducers systems, they combine image sensors, lenses, and signal processing circuits to enable visual data acquisition in modern electronics. Their miniaturization, high performance, and cost-effectiveness have driven advancements in automation, healthcare, security, and consumer electronics.
