Abstract
Disclosed is a camera module. The camera module includes: a lens barrel disposed in a housing to receive a lens assembly; an elastic member in at least one of the housing and the lens barrel; a driving unit moving the lens barrel relative to the housing; and a sensor unit fixed to the housing.
Claims30
A camera module comprising:
- a housing including a first housing and a second housing;
- a lens barrel disposed in the first housing;
- a first elastic member connecting the lens barrel and the first housing;
- first and second driving units interacting with each other to move the lens barrel relative to the first housing;
- a third driving unit interacting with the second driving unit to move the first housing such that the lens barrel moves relative to the second housing;
- a lens assembly disposed in the lens barrel;
- an image sensor disposed under the second housing;
- and
- a circuit board on which the image sensor is mounted, the image sensor electrically connected to the circuit board,
- wherein the first driving unit and the second driving unit are spaced apart from each other,
- wherein the second driving unit and the third driving unit are spaced apart from each other,
- wherein each of the first driving unit and the third driving unit is configured to receive a driving signal from the circuit board,
- wherein the third driving unit is disposed between a lower portion of the second driving unit and the second housing,
- wherein the lens assembly includes at least three lenses including a first lens, the first lens disposed closest to an object side among the at least three lenses, and
- wherein the first lens includes a positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the object side.
