Abstract
A camera module includes a first lens module including one or more lenses disposed along a first optical axis; a housing defining an internal space; at least two guide portions disposed in the internal space to guide a coupling position of the first lens module; and a reflection module disposed in the internal space to change a traveling path of light incident along the first optical axis. The at least two guide portions include a first guide portion contacting the first lens module to form a first number of contact points and a second guide portion contacting the first lens module to form a second number of contact points different from the first number of contact points.
Claims17
A camera module comprising:
- a first lens module including one or more lenses disposed along a first optical axis;
- a housing defining an internal space;
- at least two guide protrusions disposed in the internal space and configured to guide a coupling position of the first lens module;
- and
- a reflective member disposed in the internal space and configured to change a traveling path of light incident along the first optical axis,
- wherein the at least two guide protrusions include a first guide protrusion contacting the first lens module to form a first number of contact points and a second guide protrusion contacting the first lens module to form a second number of contact points different from the first number of contact points.
A camera module comprising:
- a first lens module including one or more lenses disposed along a first optical axis;
- a reflective member configured to change a path of light passing through the first lens module;
- a housing in which the reflection module is accommodated;
- and
- a plurality of guide grooves disposed in either the first lens module or the housing and configured to guide a coupling position of the first lens module,
- wherein the plurality of guide grooves include:
- a first guide groove having at least three inclined surfaces inclined with respect to the first optical axis in different directions from each other;
- and
- a second guide groove having at least two inclined surfaces inclined with respect to the first optical axis in different directions from each other.
