Abstract

A camera module may comprise a first camera module and a second camera module spaced apart from the first camera module, wherein: the first camera module comprises a cover, a housing, a bobbin, a first coil, a first magnet, a second coil, a second magnet, and a first sensor; the first magnet comprises a first-first magnet disposed at a position corresponding to a second lateral plate, a first-second magnet disposed at a position corresponding to a third lateral plate, and a first-third magnet disposed at a position corresponding to a fourth lateral plate; and a first dummy member and the first sensor are disposed at a position corresponding to a first lateral plate of the cover.

Dependent claims

A camera module comprising:

a first camera module and a second camera module spaced apart from the first camera module,
wherein the first camera module comprises:
a cover;
a housing disposed in the cover;
a bobbin disposed in the housing;
a first coil disposed on the bobbin;
a first magnet disposed on the housing;
a second coil facing the first magnet;
a second magnet disposed on the bobbin;
and
a first sensor detecting the second magnet,
wherein the cover comprises a first lateral plate disposed adjacent to the second camera module, a second lateral plate disposed opposite to the first lateral plate, and a third lateral plate and a fourth lateral plate disposed opposite to each other between the first lateral plate and the second lateral plate,
wherein the first magnet comprises a first-first magnet disposed at a position corresponding to the second lateral plate, a first-second magnet disposed at a position corresponding to the third lateral plate, and a first-third magnet disposed at a position corresponding to the fourth lateral plate, and
wherein a first dummy member and a first sensor are disposed at a position corresponding to the first lateral plate of the cover.

A camera module comprising:

a first camera module and a second camera module,
wherein the first camera module comprises a cover, a bobbin disposed in the cover, a first coil disposed on the bobbin, a first magnet facing the first coil, a second coil disposed below the first magnet, a second magnet disposed on the bobbin, and a first sensor detecting the second magnet,
wherein the second camera module comprises a cover, a bobbin disposed in the cover of the second camera module, a first coil disposed on the bobbin of the second camera module, a first magnet facing the first coil of the second camera module, a second coil disposed below the first magnet of the second camera module, a second magnet disposed on the bobbin of the second camera module, and a second sensor for detecting the second magnet of the second camera module,
wherein each of the cover of the first camera module and the cover of the second camera module comprises a first lateral plate disposed adjacent to each other, a second lateral plate disposed opposite the first lateral plate, and a third lateral plate and a fourth lateral plate disposed opposite to each other between the first lateral plate and the second lateral plate,
wherein the first magnet of the first camera module is disposed at a position corresponding to the second lateral plate to the fourth lateral plate of the first camera module,
wherein the first magnet of the second camera module is disposed at a position corresponding to the second lateral plate to the fourth lateral plate of the second camera module,
wherein a first dummy member and the first sensor are disposed at a position corresponding to the first lateral plate of the first camera module, and
wherein a second dummy member and the second sensor are disposed at a position corresponding to the first lateral plate of the second camera module.
