Claims12
A camera module, comprising:
- a housing;
- a lens module disposed in the housing;
- a driving assembly configured to move the lens module in a direction of an optical axis or a direction intersecting the optical axis;
- and
- a reinforcing structure that is embedded within an inner side and an outer side of at least one sidewall of the housing, and is electrically connected to the driving assembly,
- wherein the driving assembly comprises a driving magnet disposed in the lens module and a driving coil disposed in the housing and electrically connected to the reinforcing structure,
- wherein the reinforcing structure includes a first end that is exposed on an inner surface of the housing, and is bent perpendicular to a surface of the housing and faces toward an inside of the housing,
- wherein the reinforcing structure includes a second end that is exposed on an outer surface of the housing, and is bent perpendicular to the surface of the housing and faces toward an outside of the housing,
- wherein the first end is connected to the driving coil, and
- wherein the reinforcing structure passes through the at least one sidewall.
