Abstract
The camera module according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention includes a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounted with an image sensor, a housing mounted therein with camera constituent parts and configured to protect the image sensor, an actuator arranged on the housing, and an electronic circuit pattern layer integrally formed on a surface of the housing to conductively connect the actuator to the PCB.
Claims16
A camera module with actuator mounting structure, the camera module comprising:
- a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) mounted with an image sensor;
- a housing coupled on the PCB to protect the image sensor;
- an actuator arranged on the housing, performing a handshake correction function and an auto focusing function;
- and
- an electronic circuit pattern layer, conductively connecting the actuator to the PCB;
- wherein the actuator includes an auto focusing layer driving a first lens and an Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) layer driving a second lens, and wherein the auto focusing layer and the OIS layer are stacked to form the actuator;
- wherein the electronic circuit pattern layer is integrally formed on at least one of an inner surface, an outer surface, or a cross section of the housing;
- wherein the housing is formed with a wiring pattern where the electronic circuit pattern layer is formed;
- and
- wherein at least one terminal unit is formed on each of the PCB, the auto focusing layer, and the OIS layer, respectively, such that the PCB, the auto focusing layer, and the OIS layer are conductively connected to the electronic circuit pattern layer, respectively.
