Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounted with an image sensor, a housing arranged on an upper surface of the PCB and including therein at least one or more lenses, an actuator positioned on the housing, and an electronic circuit pattern layer formed at an non-exposed surface of the housing.
Claims19
A camera module, the camera module comprising:
- a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) comprising a first terminal unit disposed on an upper surface of the PCB;
- a housing disposed on the upper surface of the PCB and comprising an inner circular cylindrical surface forming a lens accommodating portion accommodating at least one lens and a bottom surface being in contact with the upper surface of the PCB;
- an actuator coupled with the housing and comprising an outer circular cylindrical surface in contact with the inner circular cylindrical surface of the housing;
- an electronic circuit pattern layer electrically connected to the first terminal unit of the PCB and the actuator;
- and
- a metal material of shield can covering the housing,
- wherein the electronic circuit pattern layer comprises a first electric line formed along the inner circular cylindrical surface of the housing and a second electric line formed along the bottom surface of the housing,
- wherein the first electric line comprises a first portion horizontally extending along the inner circular cylindrical surface of the housing and a second portion connecting the first portion and the second electric line,
- wherein the first portion of the first electric line lies at right angles to the second portion of the first electric line,
- wherein the outer circular cylindrical surface of the actuator faces the first portion of the first electric line formed on the inner circular cylindrical surface of the housing,
- wherein an actuator terminal of the actuator is connected to a portion of the first portion,
- wherein the second electric line comprises a second terminal unit being in contact with the first terminal unit of the PCB, a third portion extending from the second terminal unit, and a fourth portion connecting the first electric line and the third portion of the second electric line, and
- wherein the fourth portion of the second electric line lies at right angles to the third portion of the second electric line.
