Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The disclosure relates to an optical device (e.g., a camera module) and an electronic device including the same. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a camera module in which a focus adjustment function and / or an image stabilization function are implemented while providing improved telephoto performance, and / or an electronic device including the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] In general, an electronic device can refer to a device (e.g., an electronic scheduler, a portable multimedia reproduction device, a mobile communication terminal, a tablet personal computer (PC), an image / sound device, a desktop / laptop PC, or a vehicle navigation system) that performs a specific function according to a program set therein, as well as a home appliance. The above-described electronic device can output information stored therein as sound or images, for example. With the improvement in the integration of electronic devices and the popularization of super-high-speed and large-capacity wireless communication, recently, a single electronic device such as a mobile communication terminal can provide multiple functions. For example, in addition to a communication function, various functions such as an entertainment function such as game play, a multimedia function such as music / video playback, a communication and security function for mobile banking, etc., and / or a schedule management or electronic wallet function are integrated in a single electronic device.

[0003] With the development of digital camera manufacturing technology, electronic devices equipped with small and light camera modules have been commercialized. Since electronic devices (e.g., mobile communication terminals) that are usually carried at all times are equipped with camera modules, it becomes possible for users to easily utilize various functions such as video calls or augmented reality as well as to take photos or videos.

[0004] In recent years, electronic devices including multiple cameras have been released. An electronic device can include, for example, a camera module including a wide-angle camera and a telephoto camera. The electronic device can acquire a wide-angle image by capturing a wide range of scenes around the electronic device using the wide-angle camera, or can acquire a telephoto image by capturing a scene corresponding to a location relatively far from the electronic device using the telephoto camera. In this way, miniaturized electronic devices such as smartphones are entering the compact camera market by including multiple camera modules or lens assemblies, and are expected to replace high-performance cameras such as single-lens reflex cameras in the future.

[0005] The above-described information is provided as background information only to assist with an understanding of the present disclosure. It is not determined or asserted that the above-mentioned content is applicable as prior art to the present disclosure. SUMMARY

[0006] In a miniaturized electronic device including a plurality of camera modules, a camera including a folded optics system can be used to extend or enlarge a focal length. In a folded camera, since a reflecting member (or refracting member) such as a prism or a mirror is provided, the direction of a lens arrangement can be freely designed or disposed regardless of the direction of external light incidence. Accordingly, the folded camera can be used to improve telephoto performance when mounted on a miniaturized electronic device. Such a folded camera can be configured, for example, as disclosed in Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2021-0086417 (published on July 8, 2021) or U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2021 / 0199918 (published on July 1, 2021). In the camera module disclosed through this patent publication, a prism, not a lens, is located at the subject side, and an optical image stabilization function can be operated by two-axis rotation driving.

[0007] However, in a structure in which a reflecting member such as a prism, not a lens, is provided at the subject side, the size of the reflecting member can increase to secure that the camera module secures sufficient light quantity. For example, a camera module in which a reflecting member, not a lens, is provided at the subject side can be difficult to mount in a miniaturized electronic device. As in the foregoing patent publications, when a driving mechanism for moving the prism is included in the camera module for optical image stabilization, the size or power consumption of the driving mechanism can increase as the prism becomes larger, and it can be difficult to mount the prism in a miniaturized electronic device.

[0008] Aspects of the present disclosure will address at least the above-mentioned problems and / or disadvantages and provide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly, an aspect of the present disclosure will provide a camera module that is easily miniaturized while implementing a telephoto function and / or an electronic device including the same.

[0009] Another aspect of the present disclosure will provide a camera module that implements a focus adjustment function and / or an image stabilization function while providing improved telephoto performance and / or an electronic device including the same.

[0010] Additional aspects will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the description and / or the examples and will be learned by practice of the examples.

[0011] According to an aspect of the disclosure, a camera module is provided. The camera module includes a camera housing, a barrel structure including at least one lens aligned along a first optical axis direction, the barrel structure being at least partially accommodated in the camera housing, a guide unit at least partially accommodated in the camera housing and configured to guide a reciprocal movement of the barrel structure along the first optical axis direction or in a plane intersecting the first optical axis, a driving unit including at least one coil and at least one magnet disposed to at least partially face the at least one coil in a direction intersecting the first optical axis, a reflection member at least partially accommodated in the camera housing and configured to refract or reflect light incident through the at least one lens in a second optical axis direction intersecting the first optical axis, and an image sensor disposed on the camera housing, aligned with the reflection member in the second optical axis direction, and configured to receive the light refracted or reflected by the reflection member. The at least one coil or the at least one magnet can be disposed at a position at least partially facing the reflection member in a direction intersecting the first optical axis.

[0012] According to another aspect of the disclosure, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device including at least one processor and a camera module. The camera module includes a camera housing, a barrel structure including at least one lens aligned along a first optical axis direction, the barrel structure being at least partially accommodated in the camera housing, a guide unit at least partially accommodated in the camera housing and configured to guide reciprocal movement of the barrel structure along the first optical axis direction or in a plane intersecting the first optical axis, a driving unit including at least one coil and at least one magnet disposed to at least partially face the at least one coil in a direction intersecting the first optical axis, a reflection member at least partially accommodated in the camera housing in a state of at least partially facing the at least one coil or the at least one magnet in the direction intersecting the first optical axis, the reflection member being configured to refract or reflect light incident through the at least one lens in a second optical axis direction intersecting the first optical axis, and an image sensor disposed on the camera housing, aligned with the reflection member in the second optical axis direction, and configured to receive light refracted or reflected by the reflection member. The at least one processor can be configured to apply an electrical signal to the at least one coil to cause the guide unit and the barrel structure to reciprocate in the first optical axis direction or to cause the barrel structure to reciprocate relative to the guide unit in the plane intersecting the first optical axis, and acquire an object image based on light received by the image sensor.

[0013] According to another aspect of the disclosure, a camera module is provided. The camera module includes a camera housing, a barrel structure including at least one lens aligned along a first optical axis direction and at least partially accommodated in the camera housing, a guide unit at least partially accommodated in the camera housing and configured to guide reciprocation of the barrel structure along the first optical axis direction or in a plane intersecting the first optical axis, a driving unit including at least one coil and at least one magnet disposed to at least partially face the at least one coil in a direction intersecting the first optical axis, a reflection member at least partially accommodated in the camera housing and configured to refract or reflect light incident through the at least one lens in a second optical axis direction intersecting the first optical axis, and an image sensor disposed on the camera housing, aligned with the reflection member in the second optical axis direction, and configured to receive light refracted or reflected by the reflection member. The driving unit includes a first coil provided as one of the at least one coil and disposed on the camera housing, a first magnet provided as one of the at least one magnet and disposed on the guide unit, at least one second coil provided as one of the at least one coil and disposed on the camera housing or the guide unit, and at least one second magnet provided as another of the at least one magnet and disposed on the barrel structure. The driving unit can be configured to generate a driving force for reciprocating the guide unit in the first optical axis direction based on an electrical signal applied to the first coil, and generate a driving force for reciprocating the barrel structure in a plane intersecting the first optical axis based on an electrical signal applied to the at least one second coil.

[0014] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, by disposing a reflection member between a lens array and an image sensor, the amount of light of a camera module can be secured substantially through the lens. For example, by reducing the influence of the size of the reflection member on the amount of light of the camera module, the camera module can be easily miniaturized. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, by disposing a reflection member between a lens array and an image sensor, the back focal length of the lens can be easily increased, so that the telephoto performance of the camera module can be improved. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, by disposing a driving unit capable of driving the lens at a position behind the lens or at least partially overlapping with the reflection member. As a result, while minimizing the camera module and / or an electronic device including the same, a focus adjustment function or an optical image stabilization function can be easily implemented. In addition, various effects recognized directly or indirectly through the present document can be provided.

[0068] Referring to Figures 2 to 4According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the camera module 200 can include a camera housing 201, a barrel structure 202, a guide unit 203, a driving unit 204, a reflection member 205, and / or an image sensor 206. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the reflection member 205 can reflect or refract light incident in a direction of a first optical axis O1 through the barrel structure 202 (e.g., a lens 221) in a direction of a second optical axis O2 so as to guide or focus the light to the image sensor 206. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the barrel structure 202 can reciprocate along the direction of the first optical axis O1 (e.g., a direction DO) together with the guide unit 203 on the camera housing 201 and can reciprocate relative to at least a portion of the guide unit 203 in a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1. For example, the barrel structure 202 can perform at least focus adjustment by reciprocating along the direction of the first optical axis O1 and can perform an optical image stabilization operation by moving horizontally in the plane intersecting the first optical axis O1. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving unit 204 can generate a driving force to move the barrel structure 202 in the direction of the first optical axis O1 and / or on the plane intersecting the first optical axis O1, and can be disposed to at least partially face or overlap the reflection member 205 in a direction intersecting the first optical axis O1. Here, the "plane intersecting the first optical axis O1" can include a plane substantially perpendicular to the first optical axis O1.

[0069] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the camera housing 201 can include a base member 201a and a cover member 201b, and can substantially constitute an outer surface of the camera module 200. For example, the camera housing 201 can serve as a structure in which optical components such as the barrel structure 202 or the reflection member 205 and electrical / electronic components such as the image sensor 206 or the driving unit 204 are accommodated or disposed. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, if there is a component that generates electromagnetic waves among the components accommodated therein, the camera housing 201 can at least partially provide an electromagnetic shielding structure. For example, the driving unit 204 can include a voice coil configured to generate a driving force using an electric field or a magnetic field, and at least one of the base member 201a and the cover member 201b can provide an electromagnetic shielding structure. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the base member 201 can provide a structure configured to arrange the components accommodated therein, and the cover member 201b can be coupled in a manner of substantially wrapping the base member 201a. For example, when the camera housing 201 has a structure providing an electromagnetic shielding structure, the cover member 201b, rather than the base member 201a, can be useful in forming the electromagnetic shielding structure.

[0070] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the base member 201a can have a structure including a bottom surface 211a and a plurality of side walls 213, in which the plurality of side walls 213 can extend in a planar direction from edges of the bottom surface 211a along the first optical axis O1, and an upper portion of the base member 201a can have a substantially open structure. Although reference numerals are assigned in the drawings, either the bottom surface 211a or the side walls 213 can provide a penetration area which can be used as an assembly space in which the driving unit 204 or the image sensor 206 and / or the reflection member 205 can be disposed. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cover member 201b can at least partially enclose the upper portion of the base member 201a, and can have a shape wrapping at least one side wall 213 of the base member 201a. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the cover member 201b can provide an opening region 219 disposed at a top of the base member 201a. For example, the opening region 219 can provide a path by which external light is incident on the camera module 200 or a space in which the barrel structure 202 is located. Among the light incident on the camera module 200 from the outside, light guided or focused by the barrel structure 202 can be substantially detected by the image sensor 206. In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, the cover member 201b can have a structure wrapping two side walls (e.g., the third side wall 213c and the fourth side wall 213d) and / or the second side wall 213b among the side walls 213 facing each other, and in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cover member 201b can have a structure further wrapping the first side wall 213a and the image sensor 206 in a state in which the image sensor 206 is disposed. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the cover member 201b can have a structure wrapping the first side wall 213a and the second side wall 213b. For example, the cover member 201b can be coupled to wrap at least two side walls among the side walls 213 of the base member facing each other, and in some embodiments, can be coupled to wrap two or four side walls. As will be described later, when the cover member 201b is coupled, the flexible printed circuit board 249 or the image sensor 206 can be disposed on or fixed to an outer peripheral surface of the side wall 213.

[0071] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the barrel structure 202 can include at least one lens 221 aligned in a direction of the first optical axis O1, and can be at least partially accommodated in the camera housing 201. The at least one lens 221 can guide or focus light incident on the reflection member 205 from the outside, and can be disposed in a state of being coupled to the camera module 200 or an electronic device (e.g., Figure 1The appropriate number of lenses 221 can be set according to the specifications required by the electronic device 101 in the embodiment of the disclosure. According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the barrel structure 202 can include a barrel 202b and a barrel base 202a, and can be disposed on the guide unit 203 to reciprocate in the first optical axis O1 direction or in a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1 in the camera housing 201. For example, the barrel structure 202 can reciprocate in the first optical axis O1 direction (e.g., direction D0) to adjust the focal point or focal length, and reciprocate in a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1 to perform an image stabilization operation. The behavior of the barrel structure 202 can depend on the guidance or operation of the guide unit 203 and / or the driving unit 204, and will be described by referring to the description made Figure 7 or Figure 8 .

[0072] According to various embodiments of the disclosure, the guide unit 203 can be configured to guide the barrel structure 202 to reciprocate in the first optical axis O1 direction with respect to the camera housing 201, and / or reciprocate in a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1. According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the guide unit 203 can include a first guide member 203a and a second guide member 203b. For example, the first guide member 203a can be disposed to reciprocate linearly in the first optical axis O1 direction (e.g., direction D0) in the camera housing 201, and the second guide member 203b can be disposed on the first guide member 203a to reciprocate linearly in the first direction D1. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first guide member 203a can have a shape extending at least partially in the first optical axis O1 direction, and the second guide member 203b can have a frame shape or an L shape while having a flat plate shape, and can be disposed to be at least partially parallel to a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1. The barrel structure 202 (e.g., the barrel base 202a) can be disposed on the second guide member 203b to reciprocate linearly in the second direction D2. Here, the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 can be substantially perpendicular to the first optical axis O1, or can be substantially parallel to the plane intersecting the first optical axis O1. In another embodiment of the disclosure, the first direction D1, the second direction D2, and / or the first optical axis O1 can be disposed to be inclined at an angle other than perpendicular with respect to each other.

[0073] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the first guide member 203a can be disposed such that at least a portion of its outer surface faces the inner surface of the camera housing 201, and can linearly reciprocate in the camera housing 201 in the first optical axis O1 direction. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the camera module 200 can include a first guide ball 291 to reduce the frictional force generated in the linear reciprocation of the first guide member 203a. For example, by disposing the first guide ball 291, a predetermined gap can be provided between the outer surface of the first guide member 203a and the inner surface of the camera housing 201, and due to the rolling of the first guide ball 291, the linear reciprocation of the first guide member 203a with respect to the camera housing 201 can be smoothed. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of first guide balls 291 can be arranged in the first optical axis O1 direction, and the first guide balls 291 can be arranged to form a plurality of rows (e.g., two rows). In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the outer surface of the first guide member 203a or the inner surface of the camera housing 201 (e.g., the base member 201a) can include a V-groove shaped track structure, and the first guide ball 291 can be at least partially accommodated in the track structure. Since the track structure between the first guide member 203a and the camera housing 201 extends in the first optical axis O1 direction, the first guide member 203a can be movable in the camera housing 201 substantially in the first optical axis O1 direction, but can be restricted when moved in other directions.

[0074] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second guide member 203b can have a frame shape or an L shape, and can be disposed on the first guide member 203a in a state of being substantially parallel to a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1 to reciprocate in the first direction D1. For example, the second guide member 203b can reciprocate in the first direction D1 intersecting the first optical axis O1 with respect to the first guide member 203a while reciprocating in the first optical axis O1 direction together with the first guide member 203a. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, by including a plurality of second guide balls 293, the camera module 200 can smooth the reciprocation of the second guide member 203b with respect to the first guide member 203a. For example, by providing the second guide balls 293, a predetermined gap can be provided between the second guide member 203b and the first guide member 203a, and due to the rolling of the second guide balls 293, the linear reciprocation of the second guide member 203b with respect to the first guide member 203a can be smoothed. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, at least three second guide balls 293 can be disposed to support the second guide member 203b in a state of being substantially parallel to a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first guide member 203a and the second guide member 203b can include a V-shaped first track structure (for example, a V-shaped recess indicated as "V1" or "V2") having a predetermined length at a predetermined position, and the second guide ball 293 can be at least partially accommodated in the first track structure. The first track structure between the first guide member 203a and the second guide member 203b can extend in the first direction D1, whereby the second guide member 203b can be movable on the first guide member 203a substantially in the first direction D1, but can be restricted when moved in other directions.

[0075] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the barrel structure 202 (e.g., the barrel base 202a) can be disposed on the second guide member 203b and can be reciprocated with respect to the second guide member 203b along a second direction D2 substantially parallel to a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1. For example, the barrel base 202a can be reciprocated with the second guide member 203b along a first direction D1 intersecting the first optical axis O1, while the first guide member 203a and the second guide member 203b are reciprocated along the first optical axis direction O1, and can be reciprocated with respect to the second guide member 203b along a second direction D2 intersecting the first optical axis O1 and / or the first direction D1. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, by including a plurality of third guide balls 295, the camera module 200 can smooth the reciprocation of the barrel base 202a with respect to the second guide member 203b (e.g., reciprocation in the second direction D2). For example, by providing the third guide balls 295, a predetermined gap can be provided between the barrel base 202a and the second guide member 203b, and due to the rolling of the third guide balls 295, linear reciprocation of the barrel base 202a with respect to the second guide member 203b can be smoothed. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, at least three third guide balls 295 can be disposed to support the barrel base 202a in a state substantially parallel to a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the barrel base 202a and / or the second guide member 203b can include a V-groove-shaped second rail structure (e.g., a groove indicated as "V3") having a predetermined length at a predetermined position, and the third guide balls 295 can be at least partially accommodated in the second rail structure. The second rail structure between the barrel base 202a and the second guide member 203b can extend along the second direction D2, whereby the barrel base 202a can be movable on the second guide member 203b substantially along the second direction D2, but can be restricted when moved in other directions.

[0076] In this way, the barrel structure 202 can be reciprocated on the camera housing 201 along the first optical axis O1 when guided by or together with the guide unit 203, and can be reciprocated in at least two directions (e.g., the first direction D1 and the second direction D2) in a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1. When the barrel structure 202 or the lens 221 is moved in the first optical axis O1 direction, a focus adjustment operation or a focal length adjustment operation can be implemented, and when the barrel structure 202 or the lens 221 is moved in the plane intersecting the first optical axis O1, an optical image stabilization operation can be implemented. An electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 101 in Figure 1 Figure 1 Figure 1 ​​The sensor module 176 can detect a vibration of the camera module 200 or the electronic device caused by an external force, and can cause the barrel structure 202 or the lens 221 to reciprocate in a direction of the first optical axis O1 and / or in a plane intersecting the first optical axis O1 based on the vibration detected by the sensor module. For example, by moving the barrel structure 202 in a direction opposite to the vibration direction due to the external force, it is possible to prevent deterioration in image quality of a photographed image due to the vibration such as hand jitter of a user. The processor can control the driving unit 204 to generate a driving force for causing the barrel structure 202 to reciprocate. The driving unit 204 can include, for example, coils 241a, 241b, and 241c, and based on the description of "controlling the driving unit 204", it can be understood that an electrical signal is applied to the coils 241a, 241b, and 241c.

[0077] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the driving unit 204 can include a first driving unit 204a configured to control a focus adjustment operation, and at least one second driving unit 204b and 204c configured to control an image stabilization operation. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of second driving units 204b and 204c can be provided to perform the image stabilization operation. In the following detailed description, the coil for the image stabilization operation can be referred to as "(a plurality of) second driving units 204b and 204c", and if necessary, the plurality of second driving units 204b and 204c for the image stabilization operation can be separately described as "a second driving unit 204b" and "a third driving unit 204c".

[0078] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the first driving unit 204a can include a first coil 241a disposed on the camera housing 201, and a guide unit 203 (e.g., a first guide member 203a) or a first magnet 243a disposed on the barrel structure 202 (e.g., the barrel base 202a). For example, the first driving unit 204a can generate a driving force for moving the first guide member 203a in the direction of the first optical axis O1, and the first magnet 243a can be disposed on the first guide member 203a. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the first coil 241a can be at least partially accommodated in a penetration region in the third side wall 213c among the side walls, and can be disposed to be exposed inside the third side wall 213c and directly face the first magnet 243a. Like the third side wall 213c, the first guide member 203a can also include a penetration region that accommodates at least a portion of the first magnet 243a. For example, by accommodating at least a portion of the first coil 241a or the first magnet 243a with the penetration region, it is possible to reduce the space occupied by the coils 241a, 241b, and 241c or the magnets 243a, 243b, and 243c in the camera module 200.

[0079] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the first coil 241a and the first magnet 243a can be disposed to substantially face each other in a direction intersecting the first optical axis O1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first magnet 243a can be a dipole magnet having N and S poles arranged in the direction of the first optical axis O1 when viewed from the first coil 241a. For example, like a Lorentz-type voice coil motor, when an electric signal is applied to the first coil 241a, an electric field of the first coil 241a and a magnetic field of the first magnet 243a can interact to generate a shear stress. Accordingly, when the first coil 241a is fixed to the camera housing 201, the first magnet 243a and / or the first guide member 203a can perform a focus adjustment operation or a focal length adjustment operation while moving in the direction of the first optical axis O1. It has been previously described that the first guide member 203a is smoothly movable with respect to the camera housing 201 by providing the first guide ball 291.

[0080] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second driving unit 204b can include a second coil 241b disposed on the camera housing 201 (e.g., a second side wall 213b among the side walls 213) and a second magnet 243b disposed on the barrel base 202a, and the third driving unit 204c can include a third coil 241c disposed on the camera housing 201 (e.g., a fourth side wall 213d among the side walls 213) and a third magnet 243c disposed on the barrel base 202a. For the convenience of description, in the following detailed description, it can be described that "the second driving unit 204b is disposed on the second side wall 213b, and the third driving unit 204c is disposed on the fourth side wall 213d". The fourth side wall 213d can be, for example, a side wall disposed to face the third side wall 213c, and the second side wall 213b can be configured to interconnect one end of the third side wall 213c and one end of the fourth side wall 213d. As will be described later, the image sensor 206 can be disposed on a first side wall 213a among the side walls 213, and the reflection member 205 can be disposed at least partially between the first driving unit 204a and the first driving unit 204a within the camera housing 201 and / or between the second driving unit 204b and the image sensor 206 within the camera housing 201. For example, the first driving unit 204a or the third driving unit 204c can be disposed to at least partially overlap or face the reflection member 205 in a direction (e.g., a second direction D2) intersecting the first optical axis O1, and in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second driving unit 204b or the image sensor 206 can be disposed to at least partially overlap or face the reflection member 205 in a direction (e.g., a first direction D1) intersecting the first optical axis O1.

[0081] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second driving unit 204b and the third driving unit 204c can have substantially the same configuration except that the coils 241b and 241c and the magnets 243b and 243c face each other in the arrangement direction. For example, the second coil 241b and the second magnet 243b can be disposed to face each other in a first direction D1 intersecting the first optical axis O1, and the third coil 241c and the third magnet 243c can be disposed to face each other in a second direction D2 intersecting the first optical axis O1 while intersecting the first direction D1. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, a configuration in which the first optical axis O1, the first direction D1, and / or the second direction D2 substantially perpendicularly intersect each other can be included.

[0082] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second driving unit 204b generates a driving force, for example, for moving the second guide member 203b in the first direction D1, in which the second magnet 243b can be disposed on the barrel structure 202 (for example, the barrel base 202a). In embodiments of the present disclosure, the barrel structure 202 can be constrained to the second guide member 203b in the first direction D1 by the second rail structure or the third guide ball 295. For example, the driving force generated by the second driving unit 204b can move the second guide member 203b together with the barrel structure 202 relative to the first guide member 203a in the first direction D1. The second guide ball 293 can guide the second guide member 203b to move smoothly in the first direction D1 by providing a predetermined gap between the first guide member 203a and the second guide member 203b.

[0083] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second coil 241b and the second magnet 243b can be disposed to substantially face each other in a first direction D1 intersecting the first optical axis O1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second magnet 243b can be a monopole magnet having an N-pole or an S-pole when viewed from the second coil 241b. For example, when an electric signal is applied to the second coil 241b, an attractive force or a repulsive force is generated between the second coil 241b and the second magnet 243b, thereby moving the barrel structure 202 or the second guide member 203b relative to the first guide member 203a in the first direction D1. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the third coil 241c and the third magnet 243c can be disposed to substantially face each other in a second direction D2 intersecting the first optical axis O1 while intersecting the first direction D1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the third magnet 243c can be a monopole magnet having an N-pole or an S-pole when viewed from the third coil 241c. For example, as in a solenoid-type voice coil motor, when an electric signal is applied to the third coil 241c, an attractive force or a repulsive force is generated between the third coil 241c and the third magnet 243c, thereby moving the barrel structure 202 relative to the second guide member 203b in the second direction D2.

[0084] In various embodiments of the disclosure, within the camera housing 201, the second magnet 243b or the third magnet 243c can be disposed between the second coil 241b and the reflection member 205 or between the third coil 241c and the reflection member 205. For example, the barrel base 202a can provide a surface facing at least one of the coils 241a, 241b, and 241c in the camera housing 201, and at least one of the magnets 243a, 243b, and 243c can be disposed to face one of the coils 241a, 241b, and 241c when disposed on the barrel base 202a. In the embodiments illustrated in the disclosure, it is noted that a configuration in which the first coil 241a and the first magnet 243a are disposed to substantially face each other in the second direction D2 is exemplified, but various embodiments of the disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the first driving unit 204 generates a driving force for moving the guide unit 203 and / or the barrel structure 202 in the first optical axis O1 direction, in which the arrangement direction of the first coil 241a and the first magnet 243a is differently implemented depending on whether the first driving unit is a structure that generates a shear stress as in a Lorentz-type voice coil motor or a structure that generates an attractive force (or a repulsive force) as in a solenoid-type voice coil motor.

[0085] According to various embodiments of the disclosure, the camera module 200 can include one or more magnetic yokes 245a, 245b, and / or 245c. For example, the magnetic yokes 245a, 245b, and / or 245c can align an electric field and / or a magnetic field generated in the driving unit 204 within a predetermined area or space. For example, the magnetic yokes 245a, 245b, and / or 245c cause the electric field and / or the magnetic field generated in the driving unit 204 to act within a predetermined area or space, thereby helping to reduce the power applied to the coils 241a, 241b, and / or 241c or miniaturize the driving unit 204. According to embodiments of the disclosure, by reducing power consumption or miniaturizing the driving unit 204, the camera module 200 can be easily mounted in a miniaturized electronic device and can improve power efficiency in a focus adjustment operation or an optical image stabilization operation.

[0086] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the first magnetic yoke 245a disposed on the first driving unit 204a can be disposed on the camera housing 201 (e.g., the base member 201a) and can generate an attractive force with the first magnet 243a. For example, a force for making the first guide member 203a in close contact with the inner surface of the camera housing 201 can be generated by the first magnetic yoke 245a and the first magnet 243a, and the first guide ball 291 can be stably accommodated in the track structure between the camera housing 201 and the first guide member 203a while smoothing the movement of the first guide member 203a with respect to the camera housing 201. Similarly to the arrangement of the first magnetic yoke 245a, the second driving unit 204b or the third driving unit 204c can be provided with the second magnetic yoke 245b or the third magnetic yoke 245c.

[0087] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, an additional magnetic yoke (not shown) can be disposed on the bottom surface of the base member 201a, and the additional magnetic yoke can generate an attractive force with the second magnet 243b or the third magnet 243c to stabilize the arrangement of the second guide ball 293 or the third guide ball 295. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the additional magnetic yoke can be a part of the base member 201a, or can be a separate structure capable of generating an attractive force in the first optical axis O1 direction between the bottom surface of the base member 201a and the barrel structure 202.

[0088] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the camera module 200 can further include a flexible printed circuit board 249 and / or a driving chip. The flexible printed circuit board 249 includes a wiring line that provides a driving force for applying an electrical signal to the driving unit 204 (e.g., the coils 241a, 241b, and 241c), and can be disposed to at least partially wrap the side wall 213 (e.g., the second side wall 213b, the third side wall 213c, and / or the fourth side wall 213d) of the base member 201a. For example, the above-described coils 241a, 241b, and 241c can be disposed on one surface of the flexible printed circuit board 249, and can receive an electrical signal or a control signal via the flexible printed circuit board 249. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when at least one of the magnetic yokes 245a, 245b, and 245c or the cover member 201b is coupled to the base member 201a, the flexible printed circuit board 249 can be fixed in a state of being in close contact with the base member 201a (e.g., the second side wall 213b, the third side wall 213c, and / or the fourth side wall 213d).

[0089] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, although not assigned a reference numeral, the driving chip can be disposed in an area surrounded by one of the coils 241a, 241b, and 241c on one surface of the flexible printed circuit board 249, and can be connected to the processor (e.g., the processor 250) and / or the memory (e.g., the memory 252) of the camera module 200. Figure 1The at least one driving chip can control to apply a control signal to one of the coils 241a, 241b, and 241c. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the at least one driving chip can include a sensor configured to detect a position of the barrel structure 202, or a sensor separate from the driving chip can be provided in the camera module 200. Such a sensor can include, for example, at least one Hall sensor, and can detect a position or a change in position of the barrel structure 202. The processor (for example, Figure 1 The processor 120 in the electronic device 100 can detect an external force (for example, a vibration) applied to the camera module 200 or the electronic device by using a gyro sensor, and can control the driving chip or the coil based on a current position of the barrel structure 202 or a change in position of the barrel structure 202 through the external force detected via the Hall sensor. In making the barrel structure 202 reciprocate linearly, the processor can apply an electrical signal to the first coil 241a to perform focus adjustment (or focal length adjustment), and can apply an electrical signal to the second coil 241b or the third coil 241c to perform an optical image stabilization operation.

[0090] According to various embodiments of the disclosure, the reflection member 205 can include a prism or a mirror housed in the camera housing 201, and can be configured to refract or reflect light incident from the outside. For example, light incident from the outside in a first optical axis O1 direction can be refracted or reflected by the reflection member 205 and can continue in a second optical axis O2 direction intersecting the first optical axis O1 to be incident on the image sensor 206. In embodiments of the disclosure, the second optical axis O2 can be substantially perpendicular to one of the first direction D1 or the second direction D2, and can be substantially parallel to the other of the first direction D1 or the second direction D2.

[0091] According to various embodiments of the disclosure, the camera module 200 can further include a holder 259, and the reflection member 205 can be housed in the camera housing 201 in a state of being disposed in the holder 259. The holder 259 can be disposed at least partially inside the camera housing 201 by, for example, a bottom surface of the base member 201a, and in a state in which the reflection member 205 is disposed in the holder 259, one surface (for example, Figure 7 of the reflection member 205 (for example, Figure 7 of the reflection member 205 (for example, Figure 7on the reflection surface RS in the electronic device 101) or the camera module 200. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first optical axis O1 and the second optical axis O2 can intersect each other substantially perpendicularly. However, various embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the inclination angle of the second optical axis O2 with respect to the first optical axis O1 can vary depending on the specifications or shape required by the electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 101) or the camera module 200. Figure 1

[0092] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the image sensor 206 can be disposed on the camera housing 201 (e.g., the first side wall 213a among the side walls 213 of the base member 201a) and aligned with the reflection member 205 in the second optical axis (O2) direction. For example, the image sensor 206 can receive light refracted or reflected by the reflection member 205. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the lens 221 can guide or focus light incident from the outside on the reflection member 205, and the reflection member 205 refracts or reflects light incident through the lens 221 to be guided or focused to the image sensor 206. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the image sensor 206 can be disposed to face the second coil 241b (or the second driving unit 204b), while at least a portion of the reflection member 205 is interposed between the image sensor 206 and the second coil 241b. For example, by being disposed in a space substantially surrounded by the side walls 213 of the base member 201a, the reflection member 205 can be disposed to overlap or face the image sensor 206 or one of the coils 241a, 241b, and 241c (or the driving units 204) in a direction intersecting the first optical axis O1.

[0093] ​According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, light incident from the outside can be gradually focused on the image sensor 206 as it passes through optical components such as the lens 221 or the reflection member 205. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the camera module 200 can acquire a greater amount of light when an optical component disposed closer to the subject or farther from the image sensor 206 has a greater effective diameter. For example, an optical component disposed closer to the image sensor 206 can have a smaller size. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the reflection member 205 is less efficient than the lens 221 in terms of actually focusing light while changing the traveling direction of incident light. When the reflection member 205 is a first optical component disposed on the subject side, the size or volume of the reflection member 205 can be considerably large in order to ensure that the camera module 200 acquires a sufficient amount of light. For example, by disposing the reflection member 205 as a first optical component on the subject side, a folded optical system can be constructed, and a degree of freedom in design can be increased in the arrangement direction of the lenses, but it can be difficult to achieve miniaturization while ensuring stable optical performance (e.g., a sufficient amount of light). As the size or volume of the reflection member 205 increases, a larger driving mechanism or force can be required in an image stabilization operation achieved by driving the reflection member 205. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the reflection member 205 is disposed between the arrangement of the lens 221 and the image sensor 206, the reflection member 205 can increase the back focal length of the lens 221 while having little effect on the amount of light substantially acquired by the camera module 200. For example, when the reflection member 205 is disposed between the arrangement of the lens 221 and the image sensor 206, the reflection member 205 and / or the camera module 200 can be miniaturized, and the telephoto performance of the camera module 200 can be improved. For example, in implementing a folded optical system, by disposing the reflection member 205 between the arrangement of the lens 221 and the image sensor 206, it can be easy to achieve a telephoto lens having a magnification from X3 to X5 while miniaturizing the camera module 200.

[0094] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, when the camera module 200 is installed in a miniaturized electronic device and / or when an environment in which the entire focal length or focal point adjustment (or focal length adjustment) operation of the camera module 200 can be performed is provided, the barrel structure 202 (e.g., barrel) can partially protrude to the outside of the camera housing 201. In this arrangement structure, when the driving unit 204 is disposed to overlap the barrel 202b in a direction intersecting the first optical axis O1, the driving unit 204 can partially protrude to the outside of the camera housing 201. This can cause the appearance of the camera module 200 or the electronic device to deteriorate. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, by disposing the driving unit 204 to substantially overlap the reflection member 205 in a direction intersecting the first optical axis O1, the focal point adjustment operation or the optical image stabilization operation can be stably implemented when the driving unit 204 is disposed in a state not exposed to the outside of the camera housing 201.

[0095] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a view illustrating a structure in which a lens and / or a reflection member according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is disposed in a camera module. Figure 6 FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a camera module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0096] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the barrel 202b can be disposed to guide or focus light incident from the outside in the first optical axis O1 direction, and the reflection member 205 can be disposed inside the camera housing 201 in a state aligned with the barrel 202b (e.g., lens 221) in the first optical axis O1 direction. The reflection member 205 can refract or reflect light incident through the lens 221 in the second optical axis O2 direction, and the image sensor 206 can be disposed on the first side wall 213a in a state aligned with the reflection member 205 in the second optical axis O2 direction. Accordingly, the camera module 200 can receive external light in the first optical axis O1 direction, and the light incident from the outside can be reflected by the reflection member 205 to be guided to the image sensor 206. For example, the lens 221 is arranged in the first optical axis O1 direction to be aligned with the reflection member 205, and the image sensor 206 (e.g., sensor element 261) can be disposed to face the reflection member 205 in the second optical axis O2 direction.

[0097] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the flexible printed circuit board 249 is disposed to be bent at the third side wall and the fourth side wall (e.g., Figure 2 or Figure 3on the third and fourth side walls 213c and 213d of the camera module 200 in FIG. 13B can be hidden by the cover member 201b, and the opposite end portions of the flexible printed circuit board 249 can be exposed at edges of the first side wall 213a. For example, the opposite end portions of the flexible printed circuit board 249 can be electrically connected to the image sensor 206. Although not shown, on the second side wall 213b, the flexible printed circuit board 249 can be at least partially hidden by the cover member 201b, and in some embodiments of the disclosure, a portion of the flexible printed circuit board 249 can be exposed to the outside of the cover member 201b.

Figure 5 is a first cross-sectional view of the camera module cut along a line A-A' of the camera module 200 in FIG. 13A, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Figure 8 is a first cross-sectional view of the camera module cut along a line A-A' of the camera module 200 in FIG. 13A, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Figure 5 is a second cross-sectional view of the camera module 200 cut along a line B-B' of the camera module 200 in FIG. 13B, according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0099] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the camera module 200 or the barrel structure 202 can include a plurality of lenses 221, and the number or specifications of the lenses 221 can be variously combined according to design conditions of the camera module 200. In embodiments of the disclosure, the reflection member 205 can include an incident surface IS aligned with the lenses 221 in the first optical axis O1 direction, an exit surface aligned with the image sensor 206 in the second optical axis O2 direction, and a reflection surface RS configured to refract or reflect light incident in the first optical axis O1 direction in the second optical axis O2 direction. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the camera module 200 can include an infrared cut filter 263 and / or an additional lens 221a disposed between the reflection member 205 and the image sensor 206. The infrared cut filter 263 can be configured to block light in a wavelength band (e.g., an infrared wavelength band) that is not visible to the naked eye but can be detected by the image sensor 206. The additional lens 221a can be selectively provided to satisfy optical design specifications required of the camera module 200.

[0100] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the reflection member 205 can be disposed at least partially between the image sensor 206 and the second driving unit 204b and / or between the first driving unit 204a and the third driving unit 204c. The first coil 241a of the first driving unit 204a can be disposed on the camera housing 201 (e.g., the base member 201a), and the first magnet 243a of the first driving unit 204a can be disposed on the first guide member 203a or the barrel structure 202 (e.g., the barrel base 202a). When an electric signal is applied to the first driving unit 204a, the electric field of the first coil 241a and the magnetic field of the first magnet 243a interact to generate a driving force (e.g., a shear stress acting in the first optical axis O1 direction), and the first guide member 203a can move or reciprocate in the first optical axis O1 direction while being guided by the first guide ball 291.

[0101] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second driving unit 204b can be disposed to face the image sensor 206, with at least a portion of the reflection member 205 interposed between the second driving unit 204b and the image sensor 206, and the second coil 241b and the second magnet 243b can be disposed to directly face each other in the first direction D1 or the second optical axis O2 direction. For example, the first direction D1 and the second optical axis O2 direction can be substantially parallel to each other. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when an electric signal is applied to the second coil 241b, the second coil 241b and the second magnet 243b can generate an attractive force or a repulsive force, and by the driving force (e.g., the attractive force or the repulsive force) generated by the second coil 241b and the second magnet 243b, the second guide member 203b can move or reciprocate in the first direction D1 together with the barrel structure 202. The third driving unit 204c can be similar to the second driving unit 204b in terms of configuration for generating a driving force, while being different from the second driving unit 204b in terms of arrangement or alignment direction. For example, the third coil 241c and the third magnet 243c can be disposed to face each other in the second direction D2 or a direction substantially perpendicular to the second optical axis O2, and according to the operation of the third driving unit 204c, the barrel structure 202 can move or reciprocate in the second direction D2 with respect to the second guide member 203b.

[0102] Referring to Figures 14 to 17 , the first optical axis O1 can be substantially parallel to Figures 14 to 17The Z-axis direction is defined in the description of electronic devices 400 and 500, and the second optical axis O2, first direction D1, and / or second direction D2 may be substantially parallel to the XY plane defined in the description of the electronic devices. However, this alignment direction is illustrative based on the ease of designing, manufacturing, and / or assembling electronic devices 400 or 500 and camera module 200, and it should be noted that various embodiments of this disclosure are not limited to this description. For example, depending on the shape or appearance of the actual electronic device or the gripping habits of the user using the electronic device, the first optical axis O1 may be substantially parallel to the X-axis or Y-axis, and the second optical axis O2, first direction D1, and / or second direction D2 may be substantially parallel to the YZ plane or XZ plane. In another embodiment of this disclosure, the first optical axis O1 and the second optical axis O2 may be configured to be tilted relative to each other at a non-perpendicular angle, and the shape of the reflective member 205 and the arrangement of the lens 221 or image sensor 205 may vary depending on the relative positional relationship between the first optical axis O1 and the second optical axis O2. The relative arrangement of the first optical axis O1 and the second optical axis O2 relative to each other can be selected to accommodate the actual size or shape of the electronic device or camera module 200.

Figure 10 This is a view illustrating the structure in which a reflective element and / or an image sensor are disposed in a camera module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Figures 2 to 8 The camera module 200 shown is different, wherein the retainer 359 is provided as a structure for disposing the reflective member 205 in the camera housing 201. In describing this embodiment of the present disclosure, components that can be readily understood from the foregoing embodiments may be indicated by the same reference numerals, or the reference numerals for such components may be omitted, and their detailed descriptions may also be omitted.

The barrel structure 202 can receive a driving force from the driving unit 204 and can linearly reciprocate on the camera housing 201 in a first optical axis O1 direction or in at least two directions D1 and D2 intersecting the first optical axis O1. According to embodiments of the disclosure, the guide unit 203 can move back and forth in the first optical axis O1 direction by the driving force of the driving unit 204 and can guide the barrel structure 202 to reciprocate on the camera housing 201 in the at least two directions D1 and D2 intersecting the first optical axis O1.

[0106] According to various embodiments of the disclosure, the reflection member 205 can be disposed on the camera housing 201 with the image sensor 206 through a holder 359. For example, the reflection member 205 can be substantially disposed inside the camera housing 201 through the holder 359 and can be aligned with the barrel structure 202 or the lens 221 along the first optical axis O1. In embodiments of the disclosure, the reflection member 205 can be disposed to at least partially face the driving unit 204 or the image sensor 206 in a direction intersecting the first optical axis O1. For example, the reflection member 205 can be at least partially disposed between the second coil 241b of the driving unit 204 and the image sensor 206 and / or between the first coil 241a and the third coil 241c of the driving unit 204. In another embodiment of the disclosure, the reflection member 205 can be at least partially disposed between the second magnet 243b of the driving unit 204 and the image sensor 206 and / or between the first magnet 243a and the third magnet 243c of the driving unit 204.

[0107] According to various embodiments of the disclosure, the image sensor 206 can be disposed on the camera housing 201 with the reflection member 205 through the holder 359. For example, the image sensor 206 can be substantially disposed in the holder 359 with the reflection member 205, and the holder 359 can be coupled by penetrating the first side wall 213a of the camera housing 201 (e.g., the base member 201a). According to embodiments of the disclosure, the holder 259 can include a first holder portion 359a having a flat plate shape disposed on the first side wall 213a, and a second holder portion 359b extending from the first holder portion 359a to be disposed inside the base member 201a. For example, the image sensor 206 can be disposed on the first holder portion 359a, and the reflection member 205 can be disposed on the second holder portion 359b. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the second holder portion 359b can provide a path or space through which light at least partially refracted or reflected by the reflection member 205 travels.

[0108] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the image sensor 206 can further include a second flexible printed circuit board 367 extending from one side. The second flexible printed circuit board 367 can include a connector 369 disposed at one end portion, and can be electrically or mechanically coupled to a main circuit board (e.g., the printed circuit board 540 in FIG. 5B) of the electronic device via the connector 369. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the second flexible printed circuit board 367 can provide a wiring line for transmitting power or a control signal between the flexible printed circuit board 249 on which the coils 241a, 241b, and 241c are disposed and the main circuit board. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the second flexible printed circuit board 367 can be substantially a part of the flexible printed circuit board 249. Figure 16

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the first surface 410A may be configured with a substantially transparent front surface plate 402 (e.g., a glass or polymer plate including various coatings). The second surface 410B may be configured as a substantially opaque rear surface plate 411. The rear surface plate 411 may be made of materials such as coated or colored glass, ceramics, polymers, metals (e.g., aluminum, stainless steel (STS), or magnesium), or combinations of two or more of these materials. The side surfaces 410C may be configured as side surface structures 418 that are coupled to the front surface plate 402 and the rear surface plate 411 and include metals and / or polymers. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the rear surface plate 411 and the side surface structures 418 are integrally constructed with each other and may include the same material (e.g., a metallic material such as aluminum).

[0112] Although not shown, the front surface panel 402 may include a region that extends seamlessly from at least a portion of its edge toward the rear surface panel 411. In some embodiments of this disclosure, the front surface panel 402 (or rear surface panel 411) may include only one region of such a region that is provided at one edge of the first surface 410A with the front surface panel 402 (or rear surface panel 411) curving and extending toward the rear surface panel 411 (or front surface panel 402). According to embodiments of this disclosure, the front surface panel 402 or the rear surface panel 411 may have a substantially flat plate shape, and in this case, the curved and extended region may not be included.
