Camera module and camera module manufacturing method

Abstract

The present embodiment provides a camera module comprising: a lens barrel containing at least one lens; a front body which contains the lens barrel, and which comprises a flange portion formed to extend from a side surface thereof in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis; a substrate portion spaced from the lens barrel in the optical axis direction and arranged behind the front body; a rearbody coupled to the flange portion so as to contain the substrate portion; a thermal bonding portion arranged between the flange portion and the rear body such that the front body and the rear body are coupled; and a gasket spaced from the thermal bonding portion and arranged between the front body and the rear body so as to contact the front body and the rear body, wherein the front surface of the flange portion, which is positioned to correspond to the thermal bonding portion, comprises a planar surface.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present embodiment relates to a camera module and a method for manufacturing the camera module. Background technique

[0002] The following description provides background information for the present exemplary embodiments and does not describe prior art.

[0003] A camera module that captures a subject as a photo or movie can be combined with various devices and equipment. In particular, a car incorporating a camera module is introduced into the market due to advancement and automation of vehicle components. Camera modules are used in automobiles to be installed in front and rear surveillance cameras, black boxes, etc.

[0004] Since most camera modules protrude outside the car, durability and water resistance (airtightness) must be ensured. In addition, heat dissipation performance must be ensured to prevent damage due to deterioration.

[0005] A housing of a camera module for a vehicle generally has a combined form of a front body and a rear...
