Abstract

Over time, as mobile devices and smartphones are designed to be thinner (and/or shorter), their cameras become vulnerable to separation from the chassis and to breakage. Cameras can be susceptible to failure if the device is dropped, and camera components break. This disclosure describes a holder for the infra-red cut filter (IRCF) of a camera that is of superior strength and impact resistance. The IRCF holder can be made of plastic or similar material with a bottom support, buffering material, and shaped glue. The bottom of the IRCF holder is ribbed to provide greater resistance to bending deformation. Glue-filled grooves increase buffering and reduce the force of impact, preventing separation of the camera from the device.
