Abstract
A folded module includes a housing, a reflecting unit supported on an inner surface of the housing and including a reflective member, and a driving unit configured to provide driving force to rotate the reflecting unit with respect to the housing. The driving unit includes a first magnet and a second magnet disposed on the reflecting unit to face the inner surface, and at least one coil disposed in the housing and facing the first magnet and/or the second magnet.
Claims20
A folded module comprising:
- a housing;
- a reflecting unit supported on an inner surface of the housing and including a reflective member;
- and
- a driving unit configured to provide driving force to rotate the reflecting unit with respect to the housing,
- wherein the driving unit comprises:
- a first magnet and a second magnet disposed on the reflecting unit to face the inner surface, and
- at least one coil disposed in the housing and facing the first magnet and/or the second magnet.
4 more elements
A folded module comprising:
- a housing;
- a reflecting unit supported on the housing and including a reflective member;
- and
- a driving unit configured to provide driving force so that the reflecting unit moves with respect to the housing,
- wherein the driving unit includes a first driving element disposed in the reflecting unit, and a second driving element disposed in the housing to face the first driving element, and
- wherein the first driving element and the second driving element are substantially opposite to each other in a direction in which light is reflected by the reflective member.
3 more elements
A camera module comprising:
- a reflective member rotatable and configured to redirect incident light to an optical axis direction of lenses in a lens barrel;
- a coil and a magnet disposed to face each other in the optical axis direction,
- wherein magnetic force generated between the coil and the magnet rotates the reflective member about a first rotation axis substantially perpendicular to the optical axis direction.
