Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a support unit, at least two or more connection units extended from the support unit, a lens coupling unit connected to each of the connection units, formed at an inner surface with a window and coupled to at least one or more sheets of lenses, and a piezoelectric driving unit formed at each of the connection units for ascending or descending the connection units and the lens coupling unit.
Claims19
A camera module comprising:
- a support frame having a plurality of sides;
- a plurality of connectors wherein each connector of the plurality of connectors is extended from a mid-portion of a respective side of the plurality of sides of the support frame;
- a lens coupler connected to one end of each connector at a periphery of the lens coupler, formed with a window at an inner surface of the lens coupler for allowing light to pass, and coupled to at least one sheet of lenses;
- and
- a plurality of lens drivers wherein each lens driver is formed at a respective connector for ascending or descending the connectors and the lens coupler,
- wherein each lens driver is coupled at an upper side of the respective connector, facing the connector, and
- wherein each connector is interposed between the support frame and the lens coupler, symmetrically positioned with respect to the lens coupler.
