Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device including a camera module enabling a movable member (e.g., a circuit board) having an image sensor disposed thereon to move for an image stabilization function and including a connecting member that provides electrical connection of the image sensor, and an electronic device including the camera module.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing in which a main circuit board is disposed;
- and
- a camera module, at least part of which is disposed in the housing, the camera module being electrically connected with the main circuit board,
- wherein the camera module includes:
- a camera housing;
- a lens assembly, at least part of which is accommodated in the camera housing, the lens assembly including a lens,
- a movable member including an image sensor and a first circuit board electrically connected with the image sensor, the movable member being coupled to the camera housing so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens;
- a second circuit board, at least part of which is electrically connected with the main circuit board;
- and
- a connecting member configured to electrically connect the first circuit board and the second circuit board,
- wherein the connecting member includes a first flexible circuit board connected with the first circuit board and a second flexible circuit board connected with the second circuit board,
- wherein the first flexible circuit board and the second flexible circuit board are configured to be electrically connected, and
- wherein each of the first flexible circuit board and the second flexible circuit board includes a first layer, a second layer disposed to face the first layer, and a via configured to electrically connect the first layer and the second layer.

A camera module, comprising:
- a camera housing;
- a lens assembly, at least part of which is accommodated in the camera housing, the lens assembly including a lens, and
- a circuit board structure for electrical connection of the camera module,
- wherein the circuit board structure includes:
- a first circuit board portion on which an image sensor is disposed;
- a second circuit board portion on which a connector is disposed;
- and
- a third circuit board portion, at least part of which flexibly extends from the first circuit board portion toward the second circuit board portion to connect the first circuit board portion and the second circuit board portion,
- wherein the third circuit board portion includes a first flexible portion connected to the first circuit board portion and a second flexible portion connected to the second circuit board portion, and
- wherein each of the first flexible portion and the second flexible portion includes a first layer, a second layer disposed to face the first layer, an adhesive member disposed between a partial area of the first layer and a partial area of the second layer, and a VIA configured to pass through the adhesive member to electrically connect the first layer and the second layer.
