Abstract
One embodiment of a camera module may comprise: a lens barrel provided with at least one lens; a holder to which the lens barrel is coupled; a printed circuit board coupled on the bottom of the holder to face the lens; an adhering portion coupling the holder and the printed circuit board; an opening portion opening a portion of a first space formed through the coupling of the printed circuit board and the holder; and a housing coupled with the holder, wherein a second space separated from the first space may be formed through the coupling of the holder and the housing, and the opening portion may communicate the first space with the second space.
Claims21
A camera module comprising:
- a lens barrel having at least one lens;
- a holder coupled to the lens barrel;
- a printed circuit board coupled to a lower portion of the holder so as to face the lens;
- an adhesive element configured to couple the holder and the printed circuit board to each other;
- an opening configured to open a portion of a first space, which is defined via coupling of the printed circuit board and the holder;
- and
- a housing coupled to the holder,
- wherein the first space is separated from a second space, which is defined via coupling of the holder and the housing,
- wherein the first space and the second space communicate with each other through the opening, and
- wherein a coupling portion of the holder and the housing is disposed closer to the lens than the adhesive element in a first direction.

A camera module comprising:
- a lens barrel having at least one lens;
- a holder coupled to the lens barrel;
- a printed circuit board coupled to a lower portion of the holder so as to face the lens;
- a housing coupled to the holder and configured to accommodate the printed circuit board therein;
- an opening configured to open a portion of a first space, which is defined via coupling of the holder and the printed circuit board;
- and
- an adhesive element coupling to a lower surface of the holder and an upper surface of the printed circuit board so as to couple the holder and the printed circuit board to each other,
- wherein the opening is formed in at least one region of one side of the adhesive element, the printed circuit board, or the lower portion of the holder, and
- wherein a coupling portion of the holder and the housing is disposed closer to the lens than the adhesive element in a first direction.
A camera module comprising:
- a printed circuit board;
- an image sensor mounted on the printed circuit board;
- a holder disposed on the printed circuit board so as to accommodate the image sensor therein and having a first fastening portion and a second fastening portion, which are formed respectively on opposite side surfaces thereof and have a first fastening reference hole and a second fastening reference hole respectively, and a through-hole formed above the image sensor;
- and
- a lens barrel fastened to an upper region of the through-hole so as to face the image sensor,
- wherein the printed circuit board is tilted so that a horizontal plane, which passes through a center of the first fastening reference hole and a center of the second fastening reference hole, is parallel to an upper surface of the image sensor,
- wherein the horizontal plane, which passes through the center of the first fastening reference hole and the center of the second fastening reference hole, is parallel to an upper surface of a lens mounted in the lens barrel, and
- wherein the lens barrel comprises a protrusion configured to protrude from an outer circumferential surface thereof in a ring form so as to bond to an upper surface of the holder.
