Camera module manufacturing apparatus, camera module, and manufacturing method thereof

A camera module comprising:

• a substrate assembly comprising an image sensor and having a first extension part extending in a direction crossing an optical axis of the image sensor;
• a lens assembly comprising a lens and an actuator and having a second extension part formed to correspond to the first extension part;
• and
• an instantaneous curing adhesive for fixing the lens assembly and the substrate assembly to each other, wherein
• one of the first extension part and the second extension part comprises a fixing part protruding from a surface thereof, and the other one that does not comprise the fixing part comprises a hole for receiving the fixing part, and
• the instantaneous curing adhesive is applied between the hole and the fixing part in a state in which the hole receives the fixing part, and
• the hole passes through the first extension part or the second extension part.

A camera module manufacturing method comprising:

• providing an image for optical-axis alignment to a substrate assembly comprising an image sensor;
• allowing an optical axis of a lens assembly comprising a lens and an actuator to be aligned with respect to an optical axis of the image sensor;
• and
• fixing the lens assembly on the substrate assembly by applying an instantaneous curing adhesive, which is an inorganic material, to the lens assembly and the substrate assembly which are aligned, wherein
• the substrate assembly comprises a first extension part extending in a direction crossing the optical axis thereof, and the lens assembly comprises a second extension part formed to correspond to the first extension part,
• one of the first extension part and the second extension part comprises a fixing part protruding from a surface thereof, and the other one that does not include the fixing part comprises a hole for receiving the fixing part, and
• in the fixing of the lens assembly on the substrate assembly, the instantaneous curing adhesive is applied between the hole and the fixing part in a state in which the hole receives the fixing part to fix the lens assembly and the substrate assembly.
