Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, when the above-mentioned camera module is subjected to an impact load, this impact load is easily spread throughout the structure, causing problems such as damage to the image forming surface inside the image pickup portion, adverse effects on the internal components of the camera module, etc.
On the contrary, if an attempt is made to reduce the transmission of impact load by reducing the connection strength between the image pickup part, the lens part, and the substrate, other problems such as shifting of the optical pixels of the lens part and deterioration of the original characteristics of the camera module are caused.
Specifically, when a camera module is loaded into a portable terminal device, it is likely to be subjected to an impact load due to falling of the device, etc.

Embodiment Construction

[0024] Now, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following description uses a cellular phone in which a camera module has been mounted using the camera module connection structure of the present invention as an example.

[0025] figure 1 The illustrated cellular phone 1 (portable terminal device) is designed as a foldable cellular phone having a first housing 10 and a second housing 20 formed as a substantially rectangular parallelepiped in a plane, and when the cellular phone 1 is folded, these The housings are stacked on top of each other. As shown in the figure, the length direction of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 is defined as a vertical direction. The first hinge 11 is provided on the top side of the housing 10 , and the second hinge 21 is provided on the bottom side of the second housing 20 . These hinges 11 and 21 are connected by a hinge shaft not s...

Abstract

An attachment structure of a camera module for attaching to a housing a camera module having an image capturing element portion mounted on a substrate and a lens portion provided on said image capturing element portion. The attachment structure includes an elastic member which is elastically deformed in a thickness direction, arranged between said substrate and said housing, and a latching portion provided on said housing. The camera module engages with said latching portion, and movement of said elastic member in the restoring direction is restricted.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connection structure for connecting a camera in a casing, and a portable terminal device to which a camera module is connected using the connection structure. Examples of such portable terminal devices include portable phones, PHS (Personal Handset), PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) and Notebook Computer. [0002] This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-347072 filed on November 29, 2002, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] In recent years, the use of portable terminal devices having small camera modules such as cellular phones has become more and more common. [0004] In this type of camera module, there is a conventional design having an image pickup section using a CCD (Charge Coupled Device), and a lens section that forms an object image on an image information surface. The image pickup section and the lens section are mounte...
