Description
The present invention relates to a camera module, and more particularly, to a camera module capable of using light in an infrared wavelength band and a visible light wavelength band at the same time.
An infrared camera is used to obtain image information from a subject that is used as a means for acquiring image information in a dark environment or difficult to visually recognize by a human being, or as a means for confirming the thermal characteristic of the subject or a security surveillance camera or non-destructive It is widely used for various purposes such as inspection cameras.
A technology relating to an apparatus for securing image information in a dark environment by using the above-described infrared rays is called night vision, and is described in detail in Korean Patent Registration Nos. 10-0955975 and 10-0649954. Reference is made to the above-mentioned Patent No. 10-0955975, which can not be used as a camera for securing image information from light in a general visible band as a device using a special material lens for transmitting light in an infrared wavelength band.
The infrared camera described above may be used as a camera module for biometric recognition such as iris recognition and vein recognition in addition to the night vision described above. Among the domestic patents related to a camera having iris recognition function, Japanese Patent No. 10-0673427 A portable communication terminal having an iris recognition function), and Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 10-2012-0068655. 10-0673427 should further include a complicated driving part for selectively applying the near-infrared ray blocking filter and the near-infrared ray transmitting filter.
Conventional infrared cameras use a special material having a high light transmittance in the infrared band or use an IR band pass filter capable of transmitting light in an infrared band to an ordinary camera used in the visible light band There are a variety of ways. That is, conventional camera devices using infrared band light can not simultaneously acquire images that can be recognized by a general person using visible light, or they must include a complicated mechanical structure to secure the images at the same time.
Particularly, in recent years, due to development of financial services using portable communication terminals such as smart phones, the demand for compact infrared cameras suitable for miniaturized electronic devices is increasing.
However, conventionally, in addition to a general camera module for photographing an image of a visible light band, an infrared camera for photographing an image of an infrared wavelength band is additionally employed, or an IR bandpass filter There is a problem that it is necessary to further include a complicated device such as mechanically driving an IR cut filter and an IR cut filter. That is, a conventional camera module using infrared light has a problem that it is not suitable for a portable communication terminal (portable electronic device) which is expensive or requires a complicated structure and thinness.
An object of the present invention is to provide a camera module which can be manufactured at a lower cost than the conventional one, thin at the same time, and can simultaneously process an infrared band image and a visible light band image information.
According to an embodiment of the present invention,
An optical filter including a pin-hole area formed in a portion corresponding to an optical axis of a surface facing the image sensor; An image sensor arranged opposite to the pin-hole area side; An IR band-pass filter is formed on a surface of the optical filter facing the object side, and an infrared band-pass filter is formed on a surface of the optical filter, An IR cut filter is formed in an area other than the pin-hole area.
The present invention relates to an optical filter capable of separating and passing infrared rays and visible rays at the same time, and a camera module including the same, wherein the image information of the visible light band and the infrared band image information can be obtained without any additional configuration or complicated configuration .
That is, in order to secure infrared image information, infrared band image information and visible light band image information can be obtained at the same time without further including an infrared camera module in addition to a general camera module. Further, in order to obtain the infrared band and the visible band image information, it is not necessary to include a separate component for photographing the subject or changing the position of each filter. Furthermore, the present invention can provide the same transmittance as when applying each filter even though one optical filter is used by spatially separating infrared light and visible light with one optical filter.
Therefore, the camera module according to the present invention can be manufactured in a simple and thin structure compared to the conventional infrared camera, thereby reducing the production cost.

For example, iris recognition can be used for any wavelength of light in the wavelength band between 700 nm and 1000 nm, but it can be limited to use due to noise due to light in the visible light band at 750 nm or less, It can not be separated and can be limited in use. On the other hand, light between 800 and 900 nm is easy to apply iris recognition without the above-mentioned problem. The
The light incident on the optical axis of the optical system travels only along the optical axis without being diffused to the peripheral portion, so that only the pixel (one point) located on the optical axis is used when viewed from the image sensor (or film) side. On the other hand, light in the visible light band incident on the periphery of the optical axis is incident on all the remaining pixels of the image sensor, and can be provided with normal image information that the user can recognize with the naked eye.
That is, according to the present invention, the
Accordingly, the present invention provides a security device using biometric information such as nondestructive inspection using infrared rays, iris recognition, and infrared information and visible light such as photographing of subject information in a dark environment which can not be confirmed only by a human's naked eye (naked eye without naked eye) Band video information can be applied to all equipment that need to use simultaneously.
