Abstract:
An optical assembly may include a substrate, a housing carried by the substrate and having at least one adhesive-receiving recess in an upper surface thereof, and a lens carried by the housing. The optical assembly may also include a liquid crystal focus cell adjacent the lens and including cell layers and pairs of electrically conductive contacts associated therewith. The optical assembly may also include at least one electrically conductive member within the at least one adhesive-receiving recess and coupling together each pair of the electrically conductive contacts, and an adhesive body in the at least one adhesive-receiving recess covering the at least one electrically conductive member.
Abstract:
Described herein are various embodiments of contacts that include different portions angled with respect to one another and methods of manufacturing devices that include such contacts. In some embodiments, a module may include a first portion of a contact that is disposed within a housing and a second portion that is disposed outside of the housing, with the second portion angled with respect to the first portion. Manufacturing such devices may include depositing a conductive material to electrically connect the contact to a contact pad of a substrate. In some embodiments, a deposition process for depositing the conductive material may have a minimum dimension, which defines a minimum dimension of a conductive material once deposited. In some such embodiments, a distance between a terminal end of the contact pin and the contact pad may be greater than the minimum dimension of the deposition process.
Abstract:
Electronics modules and methods of making electronics modules are provided. An electronics module includes a substrate having an electronic circuit mounted thereon, a lens mount affixed to the substrate, the lens mount having a lens assembly mounted therein, and a liquid crystal cell affixed to the lens mount over the lens assembly, the liquid crystal cell having electrical terminals, wherein the lens mount includes adhesive containment pockets that are filled with a conductive adhesive so as to contact the electrical terminals of the liquid crystal cell, wherein the adhesive containment pockets include contacts that are electrically connected to the substrate. In some embodiments, the electronics module is a camera module.
Abstract:
An optical electronic package includes transmitting chip and a receiving chip fixed to a wafer. A transparent encapsulation structure is formed by a transparent plate and a transparent encapsulation block that are formed over the transmitter chip and at least a portion of the receiver chip, with the transparent encapsulation block embedding the transmitter chip. An opaque encapsulation block extends over the transparent plate and includes an opening that reveals a front area of the transparent plate. The front area is situated above an optical transmitter of the transmitting chip and is offset laterally relative to an optical sensor of the receiving chip.

Abstract:
A sensor package is provided having a light sensitive component and a light emitting component attached to a same substrate. Light from the light emitting component is emitted from the package through a first opening and reflected back into the package to the light sensitive component through a second opening in the package. A glass attachment is placed between the light emitting component and the light sensitive component. A portion of the glass is removed and filled with an opaque substance to prevent light travelling between the light emitting component and the light sensitive component in the package.
