Abstract

A camera module is provided. The camera module may be separately used as a camera, or may be applied to a terminal device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, or a vehicle-mounted device. The camera module includes an optical lens component, a light filtering layer, an image sensor and a drive module. The optical lens component is configured to receive a light beam from a photographed object, and transmit the light beam to the light filtering layer. The light filtering layer is configured to move a position under the drive of the drive module, and respectively transmit light signals filtered at different positions to the image sensor. The image sensor is configured to receive the light signals at the different positions from the light filtering layer, and determine image information based on the light signals at the different positions.
