## Abstract

A lens assembly including a support base; a lens barrel suspended at an inner side of the support base; and an adjustment mechanism including an Auto Focus (AF) assembly, an Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) assembly, an elastic sheet assembly, and a flexible connection plate disposed below the support base. The OIS assembly includes an OIS circuit board disposed between the support base and the flexible connection plate. A sensor is provided at a center of the OIS circuit board. The flexible connection plate includes a first connection portion connected to the sensor. The lens assembly allows an overall structure of the lens assembly more compact, thereby reducing moving parts and improving a service life and control precision of the lens assembly. The flexible connection plate and the sensor improve the heat dissipation effect of the sensor and enhances an overall strength of the elastic structure of the lens assembly.
