Abstract

Provided is a camera module, and a camera module, according to an embodiment, comprises: a core plate having a cavity for accommodating a conductive liquid and a nonconductive liquid; an electrode unit disposed on the core plate and electrically connected to the conductive liquid; an insulating unit disposed in the electrode portion and blocking contact of the nonconductive liquid; and a control unit for controlling voltages applied to the electrode unit, wherein the electrode unit includes a first electrode and a second electrode that change the interface between the conductive liquid and thenonconductive liquid by electromagnetic interaction, the first electrode includes a plurality of electrode sectors arranged sequentially along a circumferential direction about an optical axis, and the control unit includes a liquid lens that sequentially controls voltages applied to the plurality of electrode sectors.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments relate to camera modules including liquid lenses. More particularly, embodiments relate to camera modules including a liquid lens whose focal length can be adjusted using electrical energy. Background technique [0002] In this section, the following description only provides background information about the embodiments and may not constitute prior art. [0003] People who use portable devices demand optical devices that are high-resolution, compact, and have various shooting functions such as optical zoom-in / zoom-out functions, auto-focus (AF) functions, and shake compensation or optical image stabilization (OIS) functions. Such a shooting function can be achieved by directly moving multiple lenses used together. However, in the case of increasing the number of lenses, the size of the optical device increases. [0004] The camera module is a module of a camera that takes a photo or video of a subject. An example of such a camera module...
