Camera module

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a camera module including: a lens barrel having a lens mounted thereon; a housing having the lens barrel received therein; a printed circuit board connected to a lower portion of the lens barrel and fixed to the housing; and an LC lens module including an LC lens having the center positioned on the same axis as the center of the lens and coupled to the housing. The LC lens is positioned so as to correspond to the center axis of the lens, such that auto-focusing may be efficiently and stably implemented, and electrical connection parts coupling the LC lens to the LC lens module are exposed to the outside of the housing, such that a connection state may be checked with the naked eyes and additional repair may be easily and simply performed.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2010-0137808, filed on December 29, 2010, and entitled "Camera Module (camera module)", the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference incorporated into this application. technical field [0003] The invention relates to a camera module. Background technique [0004] In recent years, as the ratio of smartphones with various displays and application software has increased among mobile communication terminals, there has been an increasing demand for downsizing modules for high-density mounting inside components and for high-spec hardware modules. [0005] Therefore, as a camera module for a mobile communication terminal, a high-pixel autofocus module having a small size and a thin structure and capable of shooting a video has been developed. [0006] In particular, the lens-driven autofocus module according to the related art is l...
