We have developed a compact and cost-effective camera module on the basis of wafer-scale-replica processing. A multiple-layered structure of several aspheric lenses in a mobile-phone camera module is first assembled by bonding multiple glass-wafers on which 2-dimensional replica arrays of identical aspheric lenses are UV-embossed, followed by dicing the stacked wafers and packaging them with image sensor chips. This wafer-scale processing leads to at least 95% yield in mass-production, and potentially to a very slim phone with camera-module less than 2 mm in thickness. We have demonstrated a VGA camera module fabricated by the wafer-scale-replica processing with various UV-curable polymers having refractive indices between 1.4 and 1.6, and with three different glass-wafers of which both surfaces are embossed as aspheric lenses having $230{\mu}m$ sag-height and aspheric-coefficients of lens polynomials up to tenth-order. We have found that precise compensation in material shrinkage of the polymer materials is one of the most technical challenges, in orderto achieve a higher resolution in wafer-scaled lenses for mobile-phone camera modules.

휴대폰 카메라의 렌즈 모듈은 경통, 복수의 렌즈, 복수의 스페이서와 한 장의 쉴드로 구성된다. 렌즈 모듈을 생산하기 위한 주요 공정으로는 사출성형공정, 코팅공정 및 조립공정이 있는데, 일반적으로 제조라인에서는 동일한 기능을 가지는 복수의 기계들을 사용하여 생산을 한다. 본 논문에서는 긴급주문, 금형의 파손, 장비의 고장 등으로 인하여 제조현장에서 빈번하게 발생하는 재스케줄링의 문제를 해결하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 기반으로 개발된 스케줄러에 대해 소개한다. 스케줄링 알고리즘은 경험적 Backward-Forward 방법을 사용하였으며, 주문의 납기지연율을 최소화시키는 것이 목표다.

본 연구에서는 휴대폰 카메라용 렌즈모듈의 구조를 최적화하기 위한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 휴대폰 카메라용 렌즈모듈의 안정적인 작동을 위해 경통부와 외장부간 결합력의 적절한 유지가 필요한데, 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 사용하여 적절한 결합력 유지를 위한 나사 간섭부 설계변수의 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. 또한 실험계획법을 적용하여 렌즈모듈 설계변수 최적화를 위한 연구를 수행하고, 실험계획법 결과에 대한 통계적인 분석을 통해 최적 조건을 선정하여 결합토크의 크기를 원하는 범위 내로 유지하고 동시에 산포를 감소시킴으로써 제품품질 향상에 기여하고자 한다.

The narrow dynamic range of most smart phone cameras is severely limited. It usually is narrower than the dynamic range of most scenes. So we proposes a illuminance dynamic range expansion using multi-point knee for smart phone camera. Such as logarithmic functions the proposed method compress the image sensor output signal. Additionally, the proposed method was merged into the gamma that is essential circuit for any cameras. To justifying multi-point knee effectiveness, we configure the control and quality evaluation system for smart phone camera module. Experimental results show that the lost information by cut off and saturated affectively reconstructed in darker and in brighter areas. Finally this methods have advantage to implement without any changing hardware for conventional smart phones.

Compact Camera Module(CCM) is widely used in PDA, Celluar phone and PC web camera. With the greatly increasing use for mobile applications, there has been a considerable demands for high speed production of CCM. The major burden of production of CCM is assembly of lens module onto CCD or CMOS packaged circuit board. After module is assembled, the CCM is inspected. In this paper, we developed the image capture board for CCM and the imaging processing algorithm to inspect the defects in captured image of assembled CCMs. The performances of the developed inspection system and its algorithm are tested on samples of 10000 CCMs. Experimental results reveal that the proposed system can focus the lens of CCM within 5s and we can recognize various types of defect of CCM modules with good accuracy and high speed.

This paper is about a bar code decoding algorithm developed for smart phone applications. The algorithm consists of bar code data extraction procedure, bar code signal estimation procedure, and bar code decoding procedure. To detect the peak bar code module, a DSTW had been applied because of its outstanding performance in ECG peak detection. In order to minimize errors due to non-uniform light effect, the proposed algorithm was acted as a baseline wandering filter based on module peaks detection. The algorithm had been tested to evaluate the performance under the conditions of blurring, non-uniformed light and white noises. The algorithm had shown excellent performance in reconstruction of bar code decoding, compared to other conventional methods. In order to show the possibility of applying the algorithm to a smart phone, a real UPC-A type 150 bar code pictures obtained from a smart phone camera was applied to the algorithm, achieving the correct recognition rate of 97.33%.

Recently, the growing market demand for small and slim mobile phone cameras requires the size reduction of the camera module. In this paper, an auto-focusing actuator for camera phones is proposed by converting the rotational motion by a rotary VCM actuator into the linear motion using a novel cam structure. This new concept for auto-focusing module enables the reduction of the module thickness and low power consumption. This paper presents the theoretical analysis and optimal design for VCM actuator, cam structure and preload spring. Finally, the experimental results using a prototype with the size of $9.9{\times}9.9{\times}5.9\;mm^3$ are compared with the theoretical predictions.
