Camera module

A camera module equipped with two lens drive units adjacent to each other:

• wherein the lens drive units each include a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism, the first drive mechanism being configured to move a lens along an optical axis direction, the second drive mechanism being configured to move the lens in a vertical direction to the optical axis direction, and
• the second drive mechanism includes two voice coil motors that respectively move the lens in two linear directions orthogonal to each other on a vertical plane to the optical axis direction of the lens;
• wherein each of the lens drive units has a substantially rectangular outline, and
• the two voice coil motors configuring the second drive mechanism are respectively installed near two sides neighboring each other of four sides forming an outer perimeter of the substantially rectangular lens drive unit;
• and
• wherein the two lens drive units are installed so that none of the voice coil motors are located on at least one of sides where the lens drive units are located adjacent to each other.
