## Abstract

A sensor driving device may include a first substrate including an opening, an image sensor disposed at a position corresponding to the opening, a support member on which the image sensor is disposed and connected to the first substrate, a base having a first driving unit, and a housing comprising a second driving unit facing the first driving unit. Further, the image sensor may be configured to move in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis direction by an interaction between the first driving part and the second driving part.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A sensor driving device comprising:
a first substrate comprising an opening;
an image sensor disposed at a position corresponding to the opening;
a support member on which the image sensor is disposed and connected to the first substrate;
a base comprising a first driving part; and
a housing comprising a second driving part facing the first driving part,
wherein the image sensor is configured to move in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis direction by an interaction between the first driving part and the second driving part,
wherein the first driving part comprises a plurality of first driving parts spaced apart from each other,
wherein the second driving part comprises a plurality of second driving parts spaced apart from each other,
wherein the first driving part is fixed and the second driving part is movable, and
wherein the first driving part and the second driving part are disposed at a position higher than the first substrate.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The sensor driving device of claim 1, wherein the support member comprises first to fourth side surfaces, and
wherein the first substrate comprises first to fourth inner side surfaces facing the first to fourth side surfaces, respectively.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The sensor driving device of claim 2, further comprising a connector electrically connecting the first substrate and the image sensor and elastically supporting the support member.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The sensor driving device of claim 3, wherein a first end of the connector is connected to the first side surface of the support member, and a second end is connected to the fourth inner side surface of the first substrate.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The sensor driving device of claim 3, wherein the connector comprises a plurality of connectors spaced apart from each other.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The sensor driving device of claim 5, wherein the plurality of connectors comprises a first connector connected to the first side surface and the fourth inner side surface, a second connector connected to the second side surface and the first inner side surface, a third connector connected to the third side surface and the second inner side surface, and a fourth connector connected to the fourth side surface and the first inner side surface.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The sensor driving device of claim 6, wherein the first connector is overlapped with the second connector in a first direction, and is not overlapped with the third and fourth connectors in the first direction.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The sensor driving device of claim 6, wherein the first connector comprises a plurality of first connectors spaced apart from each other.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The sensor driving device of claim 1, further comprising a guide member disposed between an upper surface of the base and an inner side surface of the housing.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The sensor driving device of claim 9, wherein the guide member comprises a guide ball.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The sensor driving device of claim 10, wherein a groove is formed on at least one of an upper surface of the base and an inner side surface of the housing, and
wherein at least a portion of the guide member is disposed in the groove.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The sensor driving device of claim 1, further comprising a sensor module comprising:
the image sensor; and
a coupling part located above the image sensor and surrounding the image sensor.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)
