In this embodiment, the camera module 100 is detachably mounted on the top of the tv back shell, and in one embodiment, the camera assembly 30 can also be mounted on the side, the back or the bottom of the tv back shell. The sides may be upper, left and right.

It is understood that "a plurality" in this disclosure means two or more, and other words are analogous. "and/or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship. The singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

It will be further understood that the terms "first," "second," and the like are used to describe various information and that such information should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another and do not denote a particular order or importance. Indeed, the terms "first," "second," and the like are fully interchangeable.
