A camera module, comprising:
- a bobbin unit comprising a stationary part fixed in a base, and a moveable part provided so as to be movable relative to the stationary part, with a lens installed in the movable part;
- a suspension unit respectively connected at opposite ends thereof to the stationary part and the movable part, the suspension unit comprising a link unit rotating when the movable part moves relative to the stationary part;
- a drive unit moving the movable part relative to the stationary part in a direction of an optical axis of the lens, the drive unit being disposed at a position displaced from the optical axis of the lens to one side at which the link unit is connected to the movable part;
- and
- a pre-load unit applying a pre-load to the movable part in a direction toward the base,
- wherein the suspension unit comprises a plurality of suspension units respectively installed at first and second sides of the bobbin unit,
- wherein the pre-load unit comprises a magnet and an attraction part inducing an attractive force with the magnet as the pre-load,
