[0034] Beneficial effects

[0035] As is apparent from the above description, in an embodiment, the OIS motion unit includes a lens module and an image sensor, whereby the lens module and the image sensor can be tilted simultaneously or rotated together when performing OIS, 100% image resolution without image distortion can be obtained, and hand shake compensation or jitter compensation can be performed at a wide angle.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the OIS motion unit including the lens module and the image sensor is tilted or rotated, broadband shake compensation can be performed.

[0037] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since distortion-free image compensation is mechanically possible, the load during image processing can be low, thereby making it possible to reduce current consumption.

[0038] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the OIS motion unit is tilted using a moving plate, the OIS motion unit can be tilted stably, precisely, and accurately compared to an example using only a spherical member or a shaft member, thereby improving the reliability of the OIS operation.

[0039] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the power consumption required to perform OIS can be reduced by the bent portion and the third portion of the fourth substrate as the flexible substrate of the circuit board.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the moving plate is provided in the seating portion of the sensor base and the protrusion of the sensor base overlaps with the opening of the moving plate, the height or length of the camera device in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0041] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since at least a portion of the magnetic material is disposed in the opening of the moving plate, an attractive force or a holding force required to support the OIS moving unit can be increased, so that a stable OIS operation can be performed.

[0042] In addition, in this embodiment, since the driving magnet for hand shake compensation is arranged on the lower part of the shell rather than on the side part of the shell, the thickness of the side part of the shell can be reduced, thereby enabling the camera device to be designed for mounting a large aperture lens.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, since the driving magnet for hand shake compensation is arranged on the lower part of the shell, the camera device can be designed so that the length of the camera device in the optical axis direction is reduced without being restricted by the length of the driving magnet in the optical axis direction.

Additionally, the OIS motion unit can be moved and / or tilted leftward or rightward around a second axis (e.g., Y-axis (e.g., yaw)) perpendicular to the optical axis relative to the fixed unit.

[0113] For example, the OIS motion unit may include an AF motion unit. In addition, the OIS motion unit may include an image sensor 810.

[0116] Bobbin 110 is configured to receive a lens or lens barrel and may be disposed in holder 140. Bobbin 110 may alternatively be referred to as a "lens holder" or "lens carrier."

[0117] The coil bobbin 110 can move along the optical axis. For example, the coil bobbin 110 can move along a first direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) through electromagnetic interaction between the coil 120 and the magnet 130. The coil 120 and the magnet 130 can be an AF driving unit configured to move or drive the AF moving unit.

[0118] In addition, the bobbin 110 may be included in the OIS motion unit, and the bobbin 110 may be tilted about the first axis or the second axis, or may be rotated by a predetermined angle.

[0119] Reference Figure 5 , the bobbin 110 may include an opening 101 for coupling to the lens module 400. The shape of the opening 101 of the bobbin 110 may match the shape of the lens module 400 and may be, but is not limited to, circular, elliptical, or polygonal.

[0120] although Figure 1 Although not shown in the figure, the bobbin 110 may include at least one stopper provided on at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface thereof. The stopper of the bobbin 110 may protrude from the upper surface (or lower surface) of the bobbin 110 in a first direction or an upward direction (or a downward direction), and may prevent the upper surface of the bobbin 110 from directly colliding with the inner surface of the upper plate 301 of the cover member 300 or the lower portion of the retainer 140.

[0123] For example, the second side surface 110B may face the first side surface 110A, or may be opposite to the first side surface 110A with respect to the optical axis OA. The third side surface 110C and the fourth side surface 110D may be located between the first side surface 110A and the second side surface 110B. For example, the fourth side surface 110D may face the third side surface 110C, or may be opposite to the third side surface 110C with respect to the optical axis OA. Figure 6 In FIG. 1 , the bobbin 110 is shown as including four side surfaces, but in another embodiment, the bobbin may include three side surfaces or five or more side surfaces.

[0124] For example, seating portion 115 may be formed on first side surface 110A of the bobbin. For example, the lower portion of seating portion 115 may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of bobbin 110. Alternatively, the upper portion of seating portion 115 may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of bobbin 110. In another embodiment, for example, seating portion 115 may include an opening that opens to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of bobbin 110.

For example, at least a portion of the receiving portion 112 may be provided on the first side surface 110A of the coil body 110. The receiving portion 112 may be a recessed portion recessed from the outer surface (e.g., the first side surface 110A) of the coil body 110. The receiving portion 112 may alternatively be referred to as a "receiving recess," a "recess," or a "guide recess." A lubricant (e.g., grease) may be provided in the receiving portion 112 of the coil body 110 to reduce friction with the rolling member 21.

[0126] For example, bobbin 110 may include first receiving portion 112A configured to receive rolling member 21A and second receiving portion 112B configured to receive rolling member 21 B. For example, seating portion 115 may be provided between first receiving portion 112A and second receiving portion 112B.

[0127] For example, first receiving portion 112A (or second receiving portion 112B) may include an opening that opens to the upper surface of bobbin 110. In another embodiment, the upper portions of receiving portions 112A and 112B may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of bobbin 110. For example, the lower portions of receiving portions 112A and 112B may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of bobbin 110.

[0128] For example, the receiving portion 112 may be formed to extend in the optical axis direction. For example, the receiving portion 112 may be formed to extend in the optical axis direction to be formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the bobbin 110 .

[0129] For example, when viewed from above, the shape of the receiving portion 112 may be, but is not limited to, a triangle, and the shape of the receiving portion may be a polygon (e.g., a quadrilateral or a pentagon). Alternatively, for example, when viewed from above, the receiving portion 112 may have a "V" shape or a "U" shape.

[0130] The magnet 130 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the bobbin 110. For example, the magnet 130 may be disposed on or coupled to the first side surface 110A of the bobbin 110. For example, the magnet 130 may be disposed in or coupled to the seating portion 115 of the bobbin 110. For example, the magnet 130 may be disposed between the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B.

[0131] The shape of the magnet 130 may have a shape corresponding to the first side surface 110A of the bobbin 110, for example, a cubic shape. In another embodiment, for example, at least one of opposite ends of the magnet 130 may be tapered.

[0132] For example, the magnet 130 may include a first side surface 13A facing the coil 120 and a second side surface 13B opposite the first side surface 13A. The first side surface 13A of the magnet 130 may be exposed relative to the first side surface 110A of the bobbin 110.

[0133] In addition, in order to enhance the electromagnetic force, the magnet 130 may be a quadrupole magnet. For example, the magnet 130 may include two N poles and two S poles.

[0134] For example, the magnet 130 may include a first magnet having an N pole and an S pole, a second magnet having an S pole and an N pole, and a partition wall disposed between the first and second magnets. The partition wall, which is a substantially non-magnetic portion, may include a section having almost no polarity, which may be filled with air or made of a non-magnetic material and may be referred to as a "neutral zone." For example, the first magnet and the second magnet may face each other in the direction of the optical axis, and the first magnet and the second magnet may be arranged to face different polarities in the direction of the optical axis.

[0135] In another embodiment, the magnet 130 may be a two-pole magnet having two different polarities and a naturally formed interface between the different polarities. For example, in another embodiment, the magnet 130 may include one north pole and one south pole.

[0136] For example, the magnet 130 may be a two-pole magnet in which the north pole and the south pole are separated or arranged along the optical axis. In another embodiment, the magnet 130 may be a two-pole magnet in which the north pole and the south pole are separated or arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In another embodiment, the magnet 130 may be a two-pole magnet in which the north pole and the south pole are separated in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0137] The holder 140 can be disposed in the cover member 300. The holder 140 can include a cavity configured to receive the coil bobbin 110. The holder 140 can include an opening 30A corresponding to the opening 101 of the coil bobbin 110. For example, the opening 30A can be a through hole or a hollow portion configured to expose at least a portion of the coil bobbin 110 (or the lens module 400). In addition, for example, the opening 30A of the holder 140 can expose the image capture area of ​​the image sensor 810. The holder 140 can alternatively be referred to as a "housing".

[0138] For example, the opening 30A may be located at the center or center region of the holder 140. For example, the opening 30A of the holder 140 may be a through hole or a hollow portion formed through the holder 140 along the optical axis direction. The opening 30A of the holder 140 may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the bobbin 110, such as, but not limited to, a polygonal shape (e.g., a quadrilateral shape or an octagonal shape) or a circular shape (or an elliptical shape), and may have various shapes.

[0139] The holder 140 may include a plurality of side portions 41A to 41D. The holder 140 may include a corner portion located between two adjacent side portions and connecting the two adjacent side portions to each other.

[0140] The retainer 140 may include a first side portion 41A corresponding to or opposite to the first side surface 110A of the coil frame 110, a second side portion 41B corresponding to or opposite to the second side surface 110B of the coil frame 110, a third side portion 41C corresponding to or opposite to the third side surface 110C of the coil frame 110, and a fourth side portion 41D corresponding to or opposite to the fourth side surface 110D of the coil frame 110.

[0141] The first side portion 41A (or the first side surface or the first outer surface) of the retainer 140 can be positioned opposite to the second side portion 41B (or the second side surface or the second outer surface) of the retainer 140 about the optical axis, and the third side portion 41C (or the third side surface or the third outer surface) of the retainer 140 can be positioned opposite to the fourth side portion 41D (or the fourth side surface or the fourth outer surface) of the retainer 140 about the optical axis.

[0142] Each of the first to fourth side portions 41A to 41D of the holder 140 may be disposed parallel to a corresponding one of the side plates 302 of the cover member 300 .

[0143] Reference Figure 7a and Figure 7b, the holder 140 may include a seating portion 142A, and the coil 120 is disposed on the seating portion 142A. For example, the seating portion 142A may be disposed or formed on the first side portion 41A of the holder 140. For example, the seating portion 142A may be a through-hole formed through the first side portion 41A of the holder 140. Because the seating portion 142A is a through-hole, a portion of the holder 140 may not be positioned between the coil 120 and the magnet 130, which can increase the electromagnetic force between the magnet 130 and the coil 120. In addition, because a portion of the holder 140 may not be positioned between the position sensor 170 and the magnet 130, the output of the position sensor 170 can be improved, and the sensitivity of the position sensor 170 can be increased.

[0144] In another embodiment, the seating portion 142A may be a recessed portion recessed from the outer surface (or inner surface) of the first side portion 41A of the holder 140 .

[0145] The holder 140 may include seating portions 143A and 143B provided with the coil 230. For example, the holder 140 may include a first seating portion 143A on which the first coil unit 230A is provided and a second seating portion 143B on which the second coil unit 230B is provided.

[0146] For example, the first seating portion 143A may be provided or formed on the second side portion 41B of the holder 140. For example, the first seating portion 143A may be a through-hole formed through the second side portion 41B of the holder 140.

[0147] For example, the second seating portion 143B may be provided or formed on the third side portion 41C of the holder 140. For example, the second seating portion 143B may be a through-hole formed through the third side portion 41C of the holder 140.

[0148] Since the seating portions 143A and 143B are through-holes, a portion of the holder 140 may not be interposed between the coil 230 and the magnet 310, which can increase the electromagnetic force between the magnet 310 and the coil 230. In addition, since a portion of the holder 140 may not be interposed between the position sensor 240 and the magnet 310, the output of the position sensor 240 can be increased, and the sensitivity of the position sensor 240 can be increased.

[0149] In another embodiment, the first seating portion 143A may be a recess recessed from the outer surface (or inner surface) of the second side portion 41B of the retainer 140, and the second seating portion 143B may be a recess recessed from the outer surface or inner surface of the third side portion 41C of the retainer 140.

[0150] For example, the holder 140 may include a recess 142 in which at least a portion of the first extension portion 802A of the circuit board 800 is disposed. Since at least a portion of the first extension portion 802A is disposed in the recess 142 of the holder 140, the first extension portion 802A and the magnetic material 82 may not protrude from the outer surface of the first side portion 41A of the holder 140, or may not protrude excessively from the outer surface of the first side portion 41A.

[0151] That is, the first extension portion 802A and the magnetic material 82 may protrude relative to the outer surface of the first side portion 41A of the holder 140 by less than the sum of the thickness of the first extension portion 802A and the thickness of the magnetic material 82. This can prevent the camera device 200 from increasing in size in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0152] Reference Figure 7a and Figure 7b , the retainer 140 may include a receiving portion 116 configured to allow at least another portion of the rolling member 21 to be disposed or received therein. For example, at least a portion of the receiving portion 116 may be disposed on the first side portion 41A of the retainer 140. The receiving portion 116 may be a recessed portion recessed from the inner surface of the retainer 140 (e.g., the inner surface of the first side portion 41A). The receiving portion 116 may alternatively be referred to as a "receiving recess," a "recess," or a "guide recess."

[0153] At least a portion of receiving portion 116 of holder 140 may correspond to receiving portion 112 of bobbin 110 , may be opposite to receiving portion 112 of bobbin 110 , or may overlap with receiving portion 112 of bobbin 110 .

[0154] For example, retainer 140 may include a first receiving portion 116A configured to receive at least another portion of first rolling members B1 and B2 and a second receiving portion 116B configured to receive at least another portion of second rolling members B3 and B4. For example, a seating portion 142A of retainer 140 may be disposed between first receiving portion 116A and second receiving portion 116B of retainer 140.

[0155] For example, the first receiving portion 116A (or the second receiving portion 116B) may include an opening that opens to the upper surface of the holder 140. In another embodiment, the upper portion of the receiving portion 116 may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of the holder 140. For example, the lower portion of the receiving portion 116 may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of the holder 140.

[0156] For example, the receiving portion 116 may be formed to extend in the optical axis direction.For example, the receiving portion 116 may extend in the optical axis direction to be formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the holder 140 .

[0157] For example, when viewed from above, the shape of the receiving portion 116 of the holder 140 may be, but is not limited to, a triangle, and the shape of the receiving portion may be a polygon (e.g., a quadrilateral or a pentagon). Alternatively, for example, when viewed from above, the receiving portion 116 may have a "V" shape or a "U" shape.

[0158] For example, when viewed along the optical axis or from above, receiving portion 116 may be opposite to upper plate 301 of cover member 300 or may overlap upper plate 301 of cover member 300. For example, at least a portion of upper plate 301 of cover member 300 may cover receiving portion 116.

[0159] The camera device 200 may include a rolling member 21 provided between the bobbin 110 and the holder 140. The rolling member 21 may alternatively be referred to as a "spherical member," a "ball," or a "ball bearing."

[0160] At least a portion of rolling member 21 may contact bobbin 110 and retainer 140 and may roll or rotate between bobbin 110 and retainer 140 to support movement of bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction. When bobbin 110 moves in the optical axis direction, rolling member 21 may reduce friction between bobbin 110 and retainer 140. Due to the rolling or rotation of rolling member 21, bobbin 110 may slide in the optical axis direction while in contact with rolling member 21.

[0161] For example, the rolling member 21 may be made of, but not limited to, metal, plastic, or resin. The rolling member 21 may have a circular shape and a diameter large enough to support movement of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction.

[0162] For example, rolling member 21 may be disposed between an outer surface of bobbin 110 and an inner surface of retainer 140. For example, rolling member 21 may be disposed between first side surface 110A of bobbin 110 and first side portion 41A of retainer 140. For example, rolling member 21 may be disposed between receiving portion 112 of bobbin 110 and receiving portion 116 of retainer 140.

[0163] For example, at least a portion of the rolling member 21 may be in contact with the receiving portion 112 of the bobbin 110 , and at least another portion of the rolling member 21 may be in contact with the receiving portion 116 of the holder 140 .

[0164] The rolling member 21 may include at least one spherical member. For example, the rolling member 21 may include two or more spherical members B1 to B4.

[0165] For example, rolling member 21 may include a first rolling member 21A disposed between first receiving portion 112A of bobbin 110 and first receiving portion 116A of retainer 140, and a second rolling member 21B disposed between second receiving portion 112B of bobbin 110 and second receiving portion 116B of retainer 140. For example, first rolling member 21A may include at least one spherical member. For example, first rolling member 21A may include a plurality of spherical members B1 and B2.

[0166] The second rolling member 21B may include at least one spherical member. For example, the second rolling member 21B may include a plurality of spherical members B3 and B4. In another embodiment, each of the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B may include one spherical member.

[0167] For example, each of the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B may include three or more spherical members. For example, each of the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B may include a top spherical member located at the uppermost side, a bottom spherical member located at the lowermost side, and at least one intermediate spherical member located between the top spherical member and the bottom spherical member. For example, the diameter of the top spherical member may be larger than the diameter of the intermediate spherical member, and the diameter of the bottom spherical member may be larger than the diameter of the intermediate spherical member. In addition, for example, the diameter of the top spherical member and the diameter of the bottom spherical member may be equal to each other. In another embodiment, the diameter of the top spherical member, the diameter of the bottom spherical member, and the diameter of the intermediate spherical member may be equal to each other.

[0168] For example, each of the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B may include a first spherical member (top spherical member), a second spherical member (bottom spherical member), and a third spherical member (middle spherical member) arranged along the optical axis, wherein the diameter of the first spherical member may be larger than the diameter of the third spherical member. In addition, the diameter of the second spherical member may be larger than the diameter of the third spherical member. For example, the diameter of the first spherical member and the diameter of the third spherical member may be equal to each other. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first spherical member may be larger than the diameter of the second spherical member. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first spherical member may be smaller than the diameter of the second spherical member. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first spherical member, the diameter of the second spherical member, and the diameter of the third spherical member may be equal to each other.

[0169] For example, each of the diameter of the first spherical member and the diameter of the second spherical member may be 0.85 mm to 0.95 mm, and the diameter of the third spherical member may be 0.75 mm to 0.85 mm.

[0170] In another embodiment, each of the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B can include four spherical members, wherein the diameter of each of the top spherical member and the diameter of the bottom spherical member can be 0.85mm to 0.95mm, and the diameter of each of the two middle spherical members can be 0.75mm to 0.85mm.

[0171] When viewed from above, coil 120 and magnet 130 may be located between first rolling member 21A and second rolling member 21B. This serves to improve the reliability of autofocus by ensuring that rolling member 21 stably supports bobbin 110 when bobbin 110 moves along the optical axis without causing bobbin 110 to tilt or move.

[0172] The camera device 200 may include a magnetic material 82 configured such that an attractive force acts between the magnet 130 and the magnetic material 82. For example, the attractive force may act between the magnetic material 82 and the magnet 130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis (or the second direction). For example, the magnetic material 82 may be provided on the holder 140. In another embodiment, the magnetic material 82 may be provided on the housing 210.

[0173] The magnetic material 82 can be made of a material that adheres to a magnet. For example, the magnetic material 82 can be a metal material that adheres to a magnet. Alternatively, the magnetic material 82 can be made of a metallic material that exhibits magnetism. Alternatively, for example, the magnetic material 82 can be a magnet. The magnetic material 82 can alternatively be referred to as a "yoke." The magnetic material 82 can be used to enhance or increase the electromagnetic force between the magnet 130 and the coil 120.

[0174] Since magnet 130 is provided on bobbin 110 and magnetic material 82 is provided on retainer 140, bobbin 110 can be pulled toward retainer 140 provided with magnetic material 82 by the attractive force acting between magnetic material 82 and magnet 130. Due to the attractive force between magnetic material 82 and magnet 130, bobbin 110 and retainer 140 can press rolling member 21, and bobbin 110 can be stably supported.

[0175] Magnetic material 82 and magnet 130 may serve as a "pressing unit" or "pressing member." When bobbin 110 is moved along the optical axis by the pressing unit, contact between bobbin 110 and rolling member 21, as well as between retainer 140 and rolling member 21, is maintained. In other words, due to the attractive force between magnet 130 and magnetic material 82, rolling member 21 can stably support bobbin 110 against retainer 140.

[0176] In another embodiment, the magnet 130 may be disposed on the holder 140, and the coil 120 may be disposed on the bobbin 110. For example, the magnetic material 82 may be disposed on the holder 140 together with the magnet 130. For example, the magnet 130 may be disposed between the magnetic material 82 and the coil 120. In another embodiment, the magnetic material 82 may be disposed on the bobbin 110 together with the coil 120, while being opposite to the magnet 130 disposed on the holder 140. Furthermore, the camera device 200 may further include an energizing member, such as a conductive member, configured to electrically connect the coil 120 disposed on the bobbin 110 and the second substrate 802 of the circuit board 800 to each other.

[0177] Reference Figure 7b The holder 140 may include a seating portion 45A on which the optical filter 610 is seated or disposed. The seating portion 45A may be disposed or formed on the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the seating portion 45A may be a recessed portion recessed from the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the seating portion 45A may include a bottom surface 5A having a stepped portion formed from the lower surface of the holder 140 in the optical axis direction and a side surface 5B connecting the lower surface of the holder 140 and the bottom surface 5A of the seating portion 45A. For example, the opening 30A may be formed through the bottom surface 5A of the seating portion 45A.

[0178] The holder 140 may include a recessed portion 45B provided or formed on a corner region of the inner surface of the seating portion 45A. The recessed portion 45B may have a structure that is recessed in a direction from the optical axis toward the corner region of the inner surface of the seating portion 45A. The recessed portion 45B may prevent an adhesive (e.g., UV epoxy resin) configured to attach or couple the optical filter 610 to the seating portion 45A from overflowing from the seating portion 45A.

[0179] The holder 140 may include an avoidance recess 46 configured to avoid spatial interference with the circuit element 815. For example, the avoidance recess 46 may be provided or formed on the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the avoidance recess 46 may be recessed from the lower surface of the holder 140.

[0180] The avoidance recess 46 may correspond to the circuit element 815 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the circuit element 815 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the circuit element 815 in the optical axis direction. For example, the avoidance recess 46 may be located between the seating portion 45A and one side of the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the avoidance recess 46 may include a first avoidance recess 46A and a second avoidance recess 46B positioned opposite to each other with respect to the seating portion 45A or the optical filter 610. In another embodiment, the avoidance recess 46 may include four avoidance recesses provided between the opening 30A and the four side surfaces of the holder 140.

[0181] The holder 140 may include a recess 47 corresponding to the protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270. The protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270 and the recess 47 of the holder 140 may serve as a guide configured to facilitate assembly of the sensor base 270 and the holder 140, and may increase the coupling area between the sensor base 270 and the holder 140 to improve the coupling force between the sensor base 270 and the holder 140.

[0182] For example, the recess 47 may be recessed from the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the recess 47 may be provided or formed on a corner portion or corner area of ​​the lower surface of the holder 140. The recess 47 of the holder 140 may have a shape corresponding to the protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270. In addition, the holder 140 may include a recess 48 or a hole corresponding to the boss 17 of the sensor base 270. For example, the boss 17 of the sensor base 270 may be inserted into or coupled to the recess 48 of the holder 140. For example, the recess 48 may be provided or formed on the bottom surface of the recess 47 of the holder 140. For example, the recess 48 may be recessed from the bottom surface of the recess 47 of the holder 140.

[0183] In another embodiment, the holder 140 may include a protrusion protruding from the lower surface of the holder 140 instead of the recess 47, and the sensor base 270 may include a recess recessed from the upper surface of the sensor base 270 and coupled to the protrusion of the holder 140 instead of the protrusion 216. In another embodiment, the boss 17 may be formed on the holder 140, and the recess 48 may be formed on the sensor base 270.

[0184] The camera device 200 may include a filter 610 disposed on or coupled to the holder 140. For example, the filter 610 may be disposed below the holder 140. For example, the filter 610 may be coupled to the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the filter 610 may be disposed on the seating portion 45A of the holder 140.

[0185] The filter 610 can be used to prevent a specific frequency band component of light passing through the lens module 400 from being incident on the image sensor 810. For example, the filter 610 can be an infrared cut filter. For example, the filter 610 can be arranged parallel to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis OA.

[0186] The optical filter 610 may be coupled to the holder 140 (or the seating portion 45A) via an adhesive (not shown). For example, an edge region of the optical filter 610 may be coupled to the bottom surface of the seating portion 45A.

[0187] For example, the adhesive may be an epoxy resin, a heat-curing adhesive, or a UV-curing adhesive. For example, at least a portion of the optical filter 610 may correspond to the lens module 400 and / or the image sensor 810 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the lens module 400 and / or the image sensor 810 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the lens module 400 and / or the image sensor 810 in the optical axis direction.

[0188] The sensor base 270 may be disposed below the holder 140. The sensor base 270 may be coupled to the holder 140. The sensor base 270 may alternatively be referred to as a "holder". In addition, the holder 140 may be referred to as a "first housing" (or "first holder"), and the sensor base 270 may be referred to as a "second housing" (or "second holder"). Alternatively, the holder 140 and the sensor base 270 may not be separately represented and may alternatively be represented by a single term, such as a "housing", a "holder", or a "sensor base". In another embodiment, the sensor base 270 and the holder 140 may be integrally formed.

[0189] For example, the sensor base 270 may include a protrusion 216 protruding from an upper surface thereof. The protrusion 216 may alternatively be referred to as a "post portion."

[0190] For example, the protrusion 216 may correspond to the recess 47 of the holder 140 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the recess 47 of the holder 140 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the recess 47 of the holder 140 in the optical axis direction. At least a portion of the protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270 may be inserted into the recess 47 of the holder 140. For example, at least a portion of the protrusion 216 may be coupled to the recess 47 of the holder 140. For example, at least a portion of the protrusion 216 may be coupled to the recess 47 of the holder 140 via an adhesive.

[0191] For example, the sensor base 270 may include a body 270A and a protrusion 216 protruding from the upper surface of the body 270A. For example, the body 270A may have a shape corresponding to the first substrate 801 of the circuit board 800. For example, the body 270A may have a polyhedron shape, such as a hexahedron. For example, the protrusion 216 may be provided at a corner region of the upper surface of the body 270A. For example, the protrusion 216 may include four protrusions 216A to 216D provided at the four corner regions of the upper surface of the body 270A. Furthermore, for example, the retainer 140 may include four recesses 47 corresponding to the four protrusions 216A to 216D. In another embodiment, the housing 210 may include at least one protrusion provided at at least one of the four corner regions of the upper surface of the body 270A, and the retainer 140 may include at least one recess 48 corresponding to the at least one protrusion of the housing 210.

[0192] The sensor base 270 or body 270A may include side portions 51A to 51D that correspond to, oppose, or overlap the side portions 41A to 41D of the holder 140 .

[0193] The sensor base 270 may include a receiving portion 56 configured to allow the gyro sensor 820 to be positioned therein or to avoid spatial interference with the gyro sensor 820. For example, the receiving portion 56 may be formed through the sensor base 270 along the optical axis.

For example, the receiving portion 28A may be a recessed portion recessed from the lower portion or lower surface of the sensor base 270. For example, the receiving portion 28A may be disposed or formed in the lower surface of the body 270A. For example, the receiving portion 28A may have a shape corresponding to the magnet 31.

In addition, the depth of the seating portion 25A may be the distance (or shortest distance) from the lower surface of the sensor base 270 to the bottom surface of the seating portion 25A. In another embodiment, for example, the protrusion length of the protrusion 28 may be less than or equal to the depth of the seating portion 25A. For example, the protrusion 28 may have a shape corresponding to or consistent with the opening 60A of the movable plate 60.

Furthermore, at least one corner of the circuit board 800 may have a recess 83 configured to be inserted into or coupled to the recess 212A of the protrusion 216. The recess 212A of the protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270 may serve as a coupling guide for coupling between the first substrate 801 and the sensor base 270 and may prevent the first substrate 801 from rotating and / or separating from the sensor base 270.

[0207] The circuit board 800 may be provided on, coupled to, or fixed to the sensor base 270. For example, the circuit board 800 may be coupled to the sensor base 270 via an adhesive or a fixing member.

Each of the first to third extension portions 802A to 802C may extend upward from the first substrate 801.

[0213] The circuit board 800 may include a third substrate 803 on which a connector 805 is disposed or provided, and a fourth substrate 804 connecting the first substrate 802 and the third substrate 803 to each other.

[0217] The image sensor 810 may include an image capture area configured to detect light. Here, the image capture area may alternatively be referred to as an effective area, a light receiving area, or an active area. For example, the image capture area may include a plurality of pixels through which an image is formed. The image sensor 810 may be conductively connected to the first substrate 801. The image capture area may correspond to the lens module 400 and / or the optical filter 610 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the lens module 400 and / or the optical filter 610 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the lens module 400 and / or the optical filter 610 in the optical axis direction.

[0218] The camera device 200 may include a circuit element 815 disposed on the first substrate 801. For example, the circuit element 815 may include at least one of a passive element (e.g., a capacitor or a resistor), an active element (e.g., a sensor, a memory, or a driver IC), or a circuit pattern. For example, to avoid spatial interference with the image sensor 810, the circuit element 815 may be disposed between the image sensor 810 and an edge (e.g., a side) of the first substrate 801.

[0219] The camera device 200 may include a controller 830 disposed on the circuit board 800. For example, the controller 830 may be a driver IC. For example, the controller 830 may be disposed on the first substrate 801. For example, the controller 830 may be disposed below the first substrate 801. For example, the controller 830 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the lower surface of the first substrate 801. For example, the controller 830 may be conductively connected to the first substrate 801.

[0220] For example, the controller 830 may be conductively coupled to the coil 120 and may provide a drive signal to the first coil 120. The controller 830 may be conductively connected to the coil units 230A and 230B, may provide a first drive signal to the first coil unit 230A, and may provide a second drive signal to the second coil unit 230B.

[0221] The controller 830 may be conductively connected to the position sensor 170. Additionally, the controller 830 may be conductively connected to the position sensor 240.

[0222] For example, the controller 830 may receive an output signal from the position sensor 170 and may use the output signal from the position sensor 170 to control a drive signal (eg, a drive current) provided to the coil 120 .

[0223] For example, the controller 830 may receive an output signal from the position sensor 240 and may use the output signal from the position sensor 240 to control the drive signal (e.g., drive current) provided to the coil 230. For example, the controller 830 may receive an output signal from the first sensor 240A and may use the output signal from the first sensor 240A to control the first drive signal (e.g., first drive current) provided to the first coil unit 230A. In addition, the controller 830 may receive an output signal from the second sensor 240B and may use the output signal from the second sensor 240B to control the second drive signal (e.g., second drive current) provided to the second coil unit 230B.

[0224] The camera device 200 may include a gyro sensor 820 provided on the circuit board 800. For example, the gyro sensor 820 outputs rotational angular velocity information generated due to the movement of the camera device 200. For example, the gyro sensor 820 may be implemented by a 2-axis or 3-axis gyro sensor or an angular velocity sensor.

[0225] For example, the gyro sensor 820 may be disposed on the first substrate 801. For example, the gyro sensor 820 may be disposed below the first substrate 801. For example, the gyro sensor 820 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the lower surface of the first substrate 801. For example, the gyro sensor 820 may be conductively connected to the first substrate 801.

[0226] For example, at least one of the gyro sensor 820 and the controller 830 may be disposed close to the third substrate 803. For example, at least one of the gyro sensor 820 and the controller 830 may be disposed close to a first side surface of the first substrate 801, which is adjacent to or connected to the third substrate 803. The gyro sensor 820 and the controller 830 may be disposed closer to the first side surface of the first substrate 801 than to the second side surface of the first substrate 801, and the second side surface of the first substrate 801 may be positioned opposite to the first side surface of the first substrate 801.

[0227] The coils 120 and 230 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the circuit board 800 (e.g., the second substrate 802). For example, the coils 120 and 230 may be conductively connected to the circuit board 800 (e.g., the second substrate 802). For example, the coils 120 and 230 may be conductively connected to the circuit board 800 (e.g., the second substrate 802) via a conductive adhesive or solder.

[0228] For example, the coil 120 may be disposed on or coupled to the first extension portion 802A of the second substrate 802 and may be conductively connected to the first extension portion 802A. The first coil unit 230A may be disposed on or coupled to the second extension portion 802B of the second substrate 802 and may be conductively connected to the second extension portion 802B. The second coil unit 230B may be disposed on or coupled to the third extension portion 802C of the second substrate 802 and may be conductively connected to the third extension portion 802C.

[0229] The coil 120 may move the AF moving unit (eg, a bobbin) along the optical axis direction by interacting with the magnet 130. The coil 120 may be disposed on the holder 140.

[0230] The coil 120 can be arranged to correspond to, oppose to, or overlap the magnet 130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the coil 120 can be arranged on the holder 140 to correspond to, oppose to, or overlap the magnet 130 in the second direction (e.g., the X-axis direction) or in the direction from the first side portion 41A to the second side portion 41B of the holder 140. For example, the coil 120 can be arranged on the first side portion 41A of the holder 140. The coil 120 can be arranged in the seating portion 142A of the holder 140.

[0231] For example, the coil 120 may include a hollow portion or a hole. For example, the coil 120 may have a ring shape or a closed curved shape. For example, the coil 120 may have a ring shape wound around a straight line perpendicular to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the outer surface of the first side portion 41A of the holder 140 as an axis. For example, the coil 120 may have a ring shape configured such that its length in the transverse direction (or third direction) is greater than its length in the longitudinal direction (or optical axis direction).

[0232] A drive signal may be applied to the coil 120 to generate an electromagnetic force through electromagnetic interaction with the magnet 130. For example, the drive signal from the circuit board 800 or the controller 830 may be applied to the coil 120. The drive signal provided to the coil 120 may be a direct current and may be in the form of a voltage or a current. Alternatively, in another embodiment, for example, the drive signal provided to the coil 120 may include at least one of a direct current signal and an alternating current signal.

[0233] The coil 120, to which the driving signal has been supplied, can electromagnetically interact with the magnet 130 provided on the coil bobbin 110, and the AF moving unit can move in the first direction by the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic interaction between the coil 120 and the magnet 130. The amplitude and / or direction of the driving signal (e.g., driving current) can be adjusted by the controller 830, so that the movement of the AF moving unit in the first direction can be controlled, and thus the autofocus function can be performed.

[0234] For AF feedback drive, camera device 200 may include position sensor 170. Position sensor 170 may detect the position or displacement of bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction. For example, position sensor 170 may detect magnet 130 disposed on bobbin 110. In another embodiment, a sensing magnet may be disposed on the bobbin, separate from magnet 130 and opposite to position sensor 170, and position sensor 170 may detect the sensing magnet or the magnetic field of the sensing magnet to detect displacement of the bobbin.

[0235] For example, the position sensor 170 may be provided on the holder 140. For example, the position sensor 170 may be provided on the first side portion 41A of the holder 140. For example, the position sensor 170 may be provided in the seating portion 142A of the holder 140. For example, the position sensor 170 may be provided in the hollow portion of the coil 120. In another embodiment, the position sensor 170 may be provided outside the hollow portion of the coil 120.

[0236] For example, the position sensor 170 can be coupled to the circuit board 800. For example, the position sensor 170 can be coupled to the circuit board 800 via a conductive adhesive or solder. For example, the position sensor 170 can be conductively connected to the first extension portion 802A of the second substrate 802. For example, the position sensor 170 can be conductively connected to the first extension portion 802A via a conductive adhesive or solder.

[0237] For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the first surface of the first extending portion 802A. For example, the position sensor 170 may correspond to the magnet 130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or in the second direction, may be opposed to the magnet 130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or in the second direction, or may overlap with the magnet 130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or in the second direction.

[0238] The position sensor 170 can detect the displacement of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction.

[0239] For example, the position sensor 170 may detect a magnetic field or magnetic field intensity of the magnet 130 mounted on the bobbin 110 based on the movement of the bobbin 110 and may output an output signal.

[0240] For example, the position sensor 170 may be a Hall effect sensor. In this case, the position sensor 170 may include two input terminals to which a drive signal is applied and two output terminals to which an output signal is output. The circuit board 800 may be conductively connected to the two input terminals and the two output terminals of the position sensor 170. The circuit board 800 or the controller 830 may provide a drive signal to the two input terminals of the position sensor 170, and the output signals from the two output terminals of the position sensor 170 are transmitted to the circuit board 800 or the controller 830.

[0241] In another embodiment, the position sensor 170 may be implemented in the form of a driver IC including a Hall sensor. For example, when the position sensor 170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the position sensor 170 may transmit and receive data to and from the outside through data communication using a protocol such as I2C communication.

[0242] For example, when the position sensor 170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the position sensor 170 may include first and second terminals to which power or a driving signal is input, a third terminal for a clock signal, a fourth terminal for a data signal, and fifth and sixth terminals configured to provide a driving signal to the coil 120. The first to sixth terminals of the position sensor 170 may be conductively connected to the circuit board 800.

[0243] Due to the interaction with the magnet 310 set on the housing 210 as a fixed unit, the coil 230 can tilt the OIS moving unit around a first axis (e.g., X axis) or a second axis (e.g., Y axis), or can rotate the OIS moving unit by a predetermined angle.

[0244] The coil 230 may include a first coil unit 230A corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping with the first magnet unit 310A and a second coil unit 230B corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping with the second magnet unit 310B.

[0245] For example, the first coil unit 230A may correspond to the first magnet unit 310A in the second direction, may be opposite to the first magnet unit 310A in the second direction, or may overlap with the first magnet unit 310A in the second direction, and the second coil unit 230B may correspond to the second magnet unit 310B in the third direction, may be opposite to the second magnet unit 310B in the third direction, or may overlap with the second magnet unit 310B in the third direction. For example, the first coil unit 230A may be opposite to the coil 120 in the second direction, or may overlap with the coil 120 in the second direction.

[0246] For example, the first coil unit 230A may be disposed on the second side portion 41B of the holder 140 , and the second coil unit 230B may be disposed on the third side portion 41C of the holder 140 .

[0247] For example, each of the first coil unit 230A and the second coil unit 230B may include a hollow portion or a hole. For example, each of the first coil unit 230A and the second coil unit 230B may have an annular shape or a closed curved shape. For example, the first coil unit 230A may have an annular shape wound around a straight line perpendicular to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the outer surface of the second side portion 41B of the holder 140 as an axis, and the second coil unit 230B may have an annular shape wound around a straight line perpendicular to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the outer surface of the third side portion 41C of the holder 140 as an axis. For example, each of the first coil unit 230A and the second coil unit 230B may have an annular shape configured so that its length in the transverse direction (or third direction) is greater than its length in the longitudinal direction (or optical axis direction).

[0248] For OIS feedback driving, the camera apparatus 200 may include a position sensor 240. The position sensor 240 may detect a displacement or an angular displacement of the OIS moving unit due to a tilt or a rotation of the OIS moving unit.

[0249] For example, the position sensor 240 may include a first sensor 240A and a second sensor 240B. For example, the first sensor 240A may correspond to the first magnet unit 310A, may be opposite to the first magnet unit 310A, or may overlap with the first magnet unit 310A, and the second sensor 240B may correspond to the second magnet unit 310B, may be opposite to the second magnet unit 310B, or may overlap with the second magnet unit 310B. For example, at least a portion of the first sensor 240A may correspond to at least a portion of the first magnet unit 310A in the second direction, may be opposite to at least a portion of the first magnet unit 310A in the second direction, or may overlap with at least a portion of the first magnet unit 310A in the second direction. For example, the center of the first sensor 240A may overlap with the first magnet unit 310A in the second direction. At least a portion of the second sensor 240B may correspond to at least a portion of the second magnet unit 310B in the third direction, may be opposite to at least a portion of the second magnet unit 310B in the third direction, or may overlap with at least a portion of the second magnet unit 310B in the third direction. For example, the center of the second sensor 240A may overlap with the second magnet unit 310B in the third direction.

[0250] For example, the first sensor 240A may detect the first magnet unit 310A or the magnetic field of the first magnet unit 310 A. For example, the second sensor 240B may detect the second magnet unit 310B or the magnetic field of the second magnet unit 310B.

[0251] For example, the first sensor 240A may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the second extension portion 802B of the circuit board 800, and the second sensor 240B may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the third extension portion 802C of the circuit board 800. For example, the first sensor 240A may be conductively connected to the second extension portion 802B, and the second sensor 240B may be conductively connected to the third extension portion 802C.

[0252] For example, the first sensor 240A may be disposed in the hollow portion (or hole) of the first coil unit 230A, and the second sensor 240B may be disposed in the hollow portion (or hole) of the second coil unit 230B. In another embodiment, the first sensor 240A may be disposed outside the hollow portion (or hole) of the first coil unit 230A, and the second sensor 240B may be disposed outside the hollow portion or hole of the second coil unit 230B.

[0253] For example, each of the first sensor 240A and the second sensor 240B may be a Hall sensor including first and second input terminals and first and second output terminals. For example, the first and second input terminals and the first and second output terminals of the first sensor 240A may be conductively connected to the second extension 802B, and the first and second input terminals and the first and second output terminals of the second sensor 240B may be conductively connected to the third extension 802C.

[0254] For example, the second extension portion 802B or the controller 830 may provide or apply a first drive signal to the first input terminal and the second input terminal of the first sensor 240A. The first sensor 240A may output a first output signal, and the first output signal may be transmitted to the second extension portion 802B or the controller 830. The first output signal may be output to the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the first sensor 240A.

[0255] For example, the third extension portion 802C or the controller 830 may provide or apply a second drive signal to the first input terminal and the second input terminal of the second sensor 240B. The second sensor 240B may output a second output signal, and the second output signal may be transmitted to the third extension portion 802C or the controller 830. The second output signal may be output to the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the second sensor 240B.

[0256] In another embodiment, each of the first sensor 240A and the second sensor 240B may be a driver IC including a Hall sensor. The description of the embodiment in which the position sensor 170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor may be applied or similarly applied to the embodiment in which each of the first sensor 240A and the second sensor 240B is a driver IC including a Hall sensor.

[0257] Camera device 200 may include a magnetic material 82 disposed opposite coil 120 and magnet 130. For example, magnetic material 82 may be disposed on holder 140 or on second substrate 802 of circuit board 800. For example, magnetic material 82 may be disposed so as to correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap magnet 130 in the second direction. Furthermore, for example, magnetic material 82 may be disposed so as to correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap coil 120 in the second direction. For example, magnetic material 82 may be disposed on first extension 802A of second substrate 802. For example, coil 120 may be disposed on a first surface of first extension 802A facing magnet 130, and magnetic material 82 may be disposed on a second surface of first extension 802A opposite the first surface of first extension 802A. Magnetic material 82 may be coupled, attached, or secured to first extension 802A via an adhesive.

[0258] Reference Figure 10a and Figure 10b The housing 210 may include a cavity configured to receive the OIS motion unit. For example, the housing 210 may have a shape corresponding to the OIS motion unit, such as the holder 140 or the sensor base 270, such as, but not limited to, a polygonal shape (e.g., a quadrilateral shape or an octagonal shape) or a circular shape (or an elliptical shape), and may have various shapes. The housing 210 may alternatively be referred to as a "base."

[0259] The housing 210 may include a plurality of side portions 71A to 71D corresponding to the side portions 41A to 41D of the holder 140 or the side portions 51A to 51D of the sensor base 270. The housing 210 may include a corner portion between two adjacent side portions.

[0260] In addition, the housing 210 may include a lower portion 42 (or lower plate) located below the side portions 71A to 71D. The lower portion 42 may be connected to the lower side of each of the side portions 71A to 71D. For example, the lower portion 42 may alternatively be referred to as a "bottom portion," "bottom surface," or "body." For example, the side portions 71A to 71D may protrude upward from the lower portion 42.

[0261] The shell 210 has a first side portion 71A corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the first side portion 41A of the retainer 140, a second side portion 71B corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the second side portion 41B of the retainer 140, a third side portion 71C corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the third side portion 41C of the retainer 140, and a fourth side portion 71D corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the fourth side portion 41D of the retainer 140.

[0262] The first side portion 71A (or first side surface or first outer surface) of the shell 210 can be positioned opposite to the second side portion 71B (or second side surface or second outer surface) of the shell 210, and the third side portion 71C (or third side surface or third outer surface) of the shell 210 can be positioned opposite to the fourth side portion 71D (or fourth side surface or fourth outer surface) of the shell 210.

[0263] For example, each of the first to fourth side portions 71A to 71D of the housing 210 may be disposed parallel to a corresponding one of the side plates 302 of the cover member 300 .

[0264] The housing 210 may include a stepped portion 411 provided on the lower portion of at least one of the side portions 71A to 71D. For example, the stepped portion 411 may protrude from the outer surface of each of the side portions 71A to 71D of the housing 210 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the stepped portion 411 may be opposite to or overlap the side plate 302 of the cover member 300 in the direction of the optical axis. For example, the stepped portion 411 may be coupled to the side plate 302 of the cover member 300 via an adhesive.

[0265] The housing 210 may include seating portions 141A and 141B on which the magnet 310 is disposed. For example, each of the seating portions 141A and 141B may be a recess formed in a side portion of the housing 210. In another embodiment, each of the seating portions 141A and 141B may be a through-hole formed through the side portion of the housing 210.

[0266] The housing 210 may include a first seating portion 141A and a second seating portion 141B, the first magnet unit 310A being disposed on the first seating portion 141A, and the second magnet unit 310B being disposed on the second seating portion 141B. For example, the first seating portion 141A may be disposed or formed on the second side portion 71B of the housing 210, and the second seating portion 141B may be disposed or formed on the third side portion 71C of the housing 210. For example, the first seating portion 141A may be disposed or formed on the inner surface of the second side portion 71B of the housing 210, and the second seating portion 141B may be disposed or formed on the inner surface of the third side portion 71C of the housing 210.

[0267] The magnet 310 may include a first magnet unit 310A disposed on the second side portion 71B of the housing 210 and a second magnet unit 310B disposed on the third side portion 71B of the housing 210 .

[0268] For example, the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be arranged so as not to be aligned with each other in the second direction or the third direction. For example, the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be arranged on the housing 210 so as not to overlap each other in the second direction or the third direction. For example, the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be arranged on two different side portions of the housing 210 so as not to overlap each other in the second direction or the third direction.

[0269] In another embodiment, the magnet 310 may be provided on the holder 140, and the coil 230 may be provided on the housing 210. For example, in Figure 3 In this case, the camera device 200 may include a separate energized portion, such as a circuit board, a circuit member, or a conductive member, configured to conductively connect the second coil 230 and the circuit board 800 to each other.

[0270] Each of the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be a two-pole magnet including one north pole and one south pole. For example, each of the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be a two-pole magnet in which the north pole and the south pole are separated or arranged along the optical axis direction. For example, the north pole (or south pole) of each of the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be positioned higher than the south pole (or north pole) thereof.

[0271] In another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be a two-pole magnet in which the north pole and the south pole are separated or arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be a four-pole magnet including two north poles and two south poles.

[0272] The housing 210 may include a receiving portion 49A configured to receive the magnetic material 32. The receiving portion 49A may be disposed or formed in the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. The receiving portion 49A may be disposed or formed in the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, the receiving portion 49A may be a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. The receiving portion 49A may have a shape corresponding to the magnetic material 32, such as a quadrilateral or a circular shape. For example, the receiving portion 49A of the housing 210 may correspond to the receiving portion 28A of the sensor base 270 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the receiving portion 28A of the sensor base 270 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the receiving portion 28A of the sensor base 270 in the optical axis direction.

[0273] Despite Figure 10a Although not shown, the housing 210 may include a recess in which at least another portion of the moving plate 60 is disposed or received.

[0274] The housing 210 may include a recess 55 in which the rolling member 63 is disposed or received. The recess 55 may be formed in the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, the recess 55 may be recessed from the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. The number of recesses 55 of the housing 210 may be equal to the number of rolling members 63.

[0275] For example, the recess 55 may include two recesses 55A and 55B spaced apart from each other. For example, the two recesses 55A and 55B may be spaced apart from each other in the Y-axis direction. For example, the direction in which the recesses 55A and 55B of the housing 210 are spaced apart from each other and the direction in which the two recesses 29A and 29B of the sensor base 270 are spaced apart from each other may be perpendicular to each other. For example, the receiving portion 49A may be provided between the two recesses 55A and 55B of the housing 210.

[0276] The recess 55 of the housing 210 may contact the rolling member 63 at at least one point. For example, the recess 55 may include a bottom surface and at least one side surface connected to the bottom surface. At least one side surface of the recess 55 may be an inclined surface. For example, the recess 55 may include a bottom surface and multiple inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces of the recess 55 may have the same shape. In another embodiment, at least one of the inclined surfaces of the recess 55 may have a different shape from the other inclined surfaces.

[0277] The housing 210 may include a protrusion 215 protruding in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the protrusion 215 may protrude from a side portion of the housing 210.

[0278] For example, the protrusion 215 may protrude from the outer surface of the fourth side portion 71D of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 215 may be formed by at least a portion of the fourth side portion 71D, the at least a portion protruding in a direction parallel to a line passing through the optical axis and perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the protrusion 215 may include a recess 16A (or cavity) in which at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804 is disposed or received. For example, the recess 16A of the protrusion 215 may include an opening that opens upward.

[0279] Reference Figure 10aThe recess 16A of the protrusion 215 may be provided with coupling recesses 215A and 215B for inserting, coupling, or fixing the movement suppressing portion 80. For example, the coupling recesses 215A and 215B may be formed in two opposing inner surfaces of the recess 16A of the protrusion 215. For example, the coupling recesses 215A and 215B may extend along the optical axis. For example, in order to easily insert or couple the movement suppressing portion 80 from above, each of the coupling recesses 215A and 215B may include an opening leading to the upper surface of the protrusion 215.

[0280] The maximum length of the protrusion 215 in the optical axis direction may be smaller than the maximum length of the housing 210 in the optical axis direction. In this configuration, a space for the circuit board 800 to extend outward can be easily ensured, and a compact camera device can be realized.

[0281] The camera apparatus 200 may include a motion suppressing portion 80 coupled to at least a portion of the housing 210. The motion suppressing portion 80 may suppress movement or motion of at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804 to suppress shape deformation of at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804.

[0282] Reference Figure 7c 、 Figure 8 and Figure 11 The fourth substrate 804 of the circuit board 800 may include a first portion 804A (or "first region") connected to the first substrate 801, a second portion 804B connected to and bent from the first portion 804A, and a third portion 804C connected to and bent from the second portion 804B. In another embodiment, at least one of the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B may be omitted.

[0283] For example, the first portion 804B may extend in a direction parallel to the first substrate 801. For example, the second portion 804B may be bent from the first portion 804B and may extend upward from the first portion 804B. For example, the third portion 804C may extend from the second portion 804B in a direction opposite to the first portion 804A.

[0284] For example, the fourth substrate 804 may include a first curved portion 804D connecting the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B. Additionally, the fourth substrate 804 may include a second curved portion 804E connecting the second portion 804B and the third portion 804C. The first curved portion 804D and the second curved portion 804E may be angled, and for example, the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B may be perpendicular to each other. In another embodiment, the first curved portion 804D and the second curved portion 804E may be rounded. In another embodiment, the interior angle between the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B may be acute or obtuse.

[0285] The first curved portion 804D and the second curved portion 804E can prevent the camera device 200 from increasing in length in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In addition, since the first curved portion 804D and the second curved portion 804E are located between the upper surface of the camera device 200 (e.g., the upper surface of the cover member 300) and the lower surface of the camera device 200 (e.g., the lower surface of the housing 210), the length of the camera device 200 in the optical axis direction can be prevented from increasing, thereby achieving miniaturization of the camera device.

[0286] For example, the third portion 804C may be in the form of a plate or plane perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the third portion 804C may include a serpentine or meandering shape. For example, the third portion 804C may include at least one curved or bent region. For example, the curved or bent region of the third portion 804C may be curved in a second direction or a third direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Alternatively, the curved or bent region of the third portion 804C may extend in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, when viewed from above, the third portion 804C may include a region having a U-shape or a V-shape.

[0287] For example, the third portion 804C may be spaced apart from the housing 210. For example, the third portion 804C may be spaced apart from the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. In another embodiment, for example, at least a portion of the third portion 804C may contact the protrusion 215 of the housing 210.

[0288] At least a portion of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 can be disposed in the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. At least a portion of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 can be disposed in the recess 16A of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, at least a portion of the first portion 804A of the fourth substrate 804 can be disposed in the recess 16A of the protrusion 215. The third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 can be located outside the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 can be positioned higher than the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. The lower surface of the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 can be positioned higher than the upper surface of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210.

[0289] The connector 805 can be coupled or connected to another external connector or external device of the camera device 200. The connector 805 connected to the other external connector may correspond to a fixed unit that does not move when performing OIS. Since the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 includes at least one curved or bent area, the camera device 200 or the OIS moving unit can be flexibly supported, and external shocks can be buffered. That is, the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 can be used as a spring configured to buffer shocks. In addition, since the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 can be used to flexibly support the OIS moving unit, the driving force or driving power required to perform OIS can be reduced.

[0290] The camera apparatus 200 may include a reinforcement member 70 disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804. The reinforcement member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least one of the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804. For example, the reinforcement member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804.

[0291] Reference Figure 11For example, the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the lower surface of the first portion 804A and the lower surface of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804. For example, the reinforcing member 70 may include a first region 70A disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the first portion 804A, and a second region 70B disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the second portion 804B. The second region 70B may be bent upward from the first region 70A. For example, a bent portion may be formed between the first region 70A and the second region 70B.

[0292] For example, the area of ​​the second region 70B may be larger than that of the first region 70A. In another embodiment, the area of ​​the second region 70B may be equal to that of the first region 70A, or the area of ​​the second region 70B may be smaller than that of the first region 70A.

[0293] For example, the reinforcement member 70 may be spaced apart from the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804. For example, the second region 70B of the reinforcement member 70 may be spaced apart from the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804. In another embodiment, at least a portion of the second region 70B of the reinforcement member 70 may be in contact with the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804.

[0294] In another embodiment, the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the upper surface of the first portion 804A of the fourth substrate 804 and the upper surface of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804. For example, in another embodiment, the reinforcing member 70 may include a first region disposed on the upper surface of the first portion 804A of the fourth substrate 804 and a second region disposed on the upper surface of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804.

[0295] In another embodiment, the reinforcement member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 and at least a portion of the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804. For example, in another embodiment, the reinforcement member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the second portion 804B and the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804. For example, the reinforcement member 70 may include a first region disposed on the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 and coupled to or attached to the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804, and a second region disposed on the third portion 804C and coupled to or attached to the third portion 804C, and a bent portion may be formed between the first and second regions. The first region of the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on the lower surface (or upper surface) of the second portion 804B, and the second region of the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on the lower surface (or upper surface) of the third portion 804C.

[0296] The reinforcing member 70 can prevent the fourth substrate 804 from being damaged, deformed, or broken due to impact or external force. Furthermore, when the fourth substrate 804 is compressed due to the tilt of the OIS motion unit 100, the reinforcing member 70 can be used to suppress deformation and recovery of the shape of the fourth substrate 804. For example, the reinforcing member 70 can be made of at least one of a metal material and an injection molded material.

[0297] For example, the reinforcement member 70 may be disposed in the recess 16A of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, at least a portion of the reinforcement member 70 may be in contact with the recess 16A of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the reinforcement member 70 may not be coupled to the housing 210 (e.g., the protrusion 215). In another embodiment, for example, the reinforcement member 70 may be coupled to the housing 210 (e.g., the protrusion 215) via an adhesive.

[0298] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 10a and Figure 10b , the movement suppressing portion 80 may be coupled to the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the movement suppressing portion 80 may be coupled to the coupling recesses 215A and 215B of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210.

[0299] Reference Figure 3, at least a portion of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 may be disposed between the movement suppressing portion 80 and the inner surface of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, at least a portion of the reinforcement member 70 may be disposed between the movement suppressing portion 80 and the inner surface of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210.

[0300] The motion suppression portion 80 can be spaced apart from the circuit board 800 in the second direction (X-axis direction) or the third direction (Y-axis direction). For example, the motion suppression portion 80 can be arranged to be spaced apart from the circuit board 800 in the optical axis direction or in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In other words, the motion suppression portion 80 can be used to maintain the shape of the curved portions 804D and 804E of the fourth substrate 804 as a flexible substrate. For example, the motion suppression portion 80 can be formed by injection molding a non-magnetic material or resin. In another embodiment, the motion suppression portion 80 can contact at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804 of the circuit board 800.

[0301] The movement or motion of at least a portion of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 disposed within the recess 16A of the protrusion 215 can be restricted by the motion suppressing portion 80, suppressing or preventing the second portion 804B from moving out of the recess 16A of the protrusion 215. This can suppress or prevent the OIS motion unit from being affected by the restoring force of the fourth substrate 804 during OIS, thereby enabling precise OIS execution and improving the reliability of OIS operation. The motion suppressing portion 80 can alternatively be referred to as a "clamping member."

[0302] The cover member 300 can form a receiving space with the housing 210, and the OIS motion unit can be disposed in the receiving space. For example, the cover member 300 can be in the form of a box with an open lower portion. For example, the cover member 300 can include an upper plate 301 and a side plate 302 connected to the upper plate 301.

[0303] The lower end of the side plate 302 of the cover member 300 can be coupled to the housing 210. The shape of the upper plate 301 of the cover member 300 can be polygonal (e.g., quadrilateral or octagonal) or circular. The upper plate 301 of the cover member 300 may include an opening 303, which is configured to expose the lens (not shown) to external light. The opening 303 may be a through hole formed through the upper plate 301 of the cover member 300 along the optical axis direction. For example, the cover member 300 may include a plurality of side plates. The material of the cover member 300 may be a non-magnetic material. In another embodiment, the cover member 300 may be made of a magnetic material. For example, the material of the cover member 300 may be an injection molding material such as a resin, or a metal material.

[0304] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2a , the cover member 300 may include an opening 304 provided or formed in the side plate 302 to avoid spatial interference with the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 215 of the housing 210 may extend through the opening 304 of the cover member 300 and may protrude from the side plate 302 of the cover member 300.

[0305] The cover member 300 may include a protrusion 305 that is disposed above the opening 304 and protrudes from the side plate 302. The protrusion 305 may be in the shape of a plate. For example, the protrusion 305 of the cover member 300 may be disposed on the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 305 may be disposed on the upper portion of the recess 16A of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 305 may be disposed on the upper side of the motion suppression portion 80. For example, the protrusion 305 may overlap with the motion suppression portion 80 in the optical axis direction. In addition, for example, the protrusion 305 may overlap with the first portion 804A of the fourth substrate 804 in the optical axis direction. The protrusion 305 can suppress or prevent separation of the motion suppression portion 80 and can protect the motion suppression portion 80 and the fourth substrate 804 from impact.

[0306] Reference Figure 4e , the cover member 300 may include a boss 311 protruding from the upper plate 301. For example, the boss 311 may protrude from the inner surface of the upper plate 301 of the cover member 300 toward the coil bobbin 110 or the rolling member 21. For example, the boss 311 may be opposite to the receiving portion 116 of the coil bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the receiving portion 116 of the coil bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction. At least a portion of the boss 311 may be inserted into or disposed in the receiving portion 116 of the coil bobbin 110. The boss 311 may be provided on the rolling member 21.

[0307] For example, the cover member 300 may include a first boss 311A ​​that corresponds to, is opposite to, or overlaps with the first rolling member 21A or the first receiving portion 116A of the bobbin 110. For example, the cover member 300 may include a second boss 311B that corresponds to, is opposite to, or overlaps with the second rolling member 21B or the second receiving portion 116B of the bobbin 110. For example, the boss 311 may include a recessed portion that is recessed from the upper surface of the upper plate 301 of the cover member 330. In another embodiment, the boss 311 may not include a recessed portion.

[0308] Since cover member 300 is provided with boss 311, this embodiment can prevent rolling member 21 from being separated from receiving portion 116 of bobbin 110. In addition, boss 311 can serve as a stopper configured to prevent bobbin 110 from further moving within a limited range in the upward direction.

[0309] Next, the supporting unit will be described.

[0310] The support unit may be provided between the sensor base 270 and the housing 210, and may support the sensor base 270 relative to the housing 210. The support unit may include a moving plate 60 provided between the sensor base 270 and the housing 210. In addition, the support may include a rolling member 62 provided between the moving plate 60 and the sensor base 270. In addition, the support unit may include a rolling member 63 provided between the moving plate 60 and the housing 210. The moving plate 60 may be alternatively referred to as a "drive plate," "mover," "mover plate," "drive plate," "plate," "rotating plate," "tilt plate," "moving plate," or "support plate."

[0311] The moving plate 60 may be tiltable about the first axis or the second axis, or rotatable by a predetermined angle.

[0312] For example, the moving plate 60 may be disposed between the lower portion (or lower surface) of the sensor base 270 and the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, at least a portion of the moving plate 60 may be disposed in the seating portion 25A of the sensor base 270. Since the moving plate 60 is disposed in the seating portion 25A, the length or height of the camera device 200 in the optical axis direction may be reduced.

[0313] Reference Figure 4b 、 Figure 9a and Figure 12 The movable plate 60 may be in the form of a plate. For example, the length of the movable plate 60 in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the optical axis (eg, in the transverse direction or the longitudinal direction) may be greater than the length of the movable plate 60 in the optical axis direction.

[0314] Reference Figure 9a , the moving plate 60 may include a recess 65 in which at least a portion of the rolling member 62 is disposed. The recess 65 may be disposed or formed in the first surface 6A of the moving plate 60. The first surface 6A may be a surface that is opposite to or faces the retainer 260. The recess 65 may be recessed from the first surface 6A of the moving plate 60.

[0315] For example, the moving plate 60 may include a first recess 65A in which at least a portion of the first spherical member 62A is disposed, and a second recess 65B in which at least a portion of the second spherical member 62B is disposed.

[0316] For example, the recesses 65A and 65B may be provided to be spaced apart from each other in the second direction (eg, X-axis direction).For example, the spherical members 62A and 62B may be provided to be spaced apart from each other in the second direction (eg, X-axis direction).

[0317] In another embodiment, the recessed portions of the moving plate 60 in which the spherical members 62A and 62B are disposed may be spaced apart from each other in the third direction (e.g., the Y-axis direction). That is, in another embodiment, the spherical members of the rolling member 62 may be spaced apart from each other in the third direction.

[0318] The recess 65 may contact the rolling member 62 at at least one point. For example, the recess 65 may include a bottom surface and at least one side surface connected to the bottom surface. At least one side surface of the recess 65 may be an inclined surface. For example, the recess 65 may include a bottom surface and multiple inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces of the recess 65 may have the same shape. In another embodiment, at least one of the inclined surfaces of the recess 65 may have a different shape from the other inclined surfaces.

[0319] Reference Figure 9b , the moving plate 60 may include a recess 66 in which at least a portion of the rolling member 63 is disposed. The recess 66 may be disposed or formed in the second surface 6B of the moving plate 60. The second surface 6B may be a surface that is opposite to or faces the housing 120. In addition, the second surface 6B may be a surface opposite to the first surface 6A of the moving plate 60. The recess 66 may be recessed from the second surface 6B of the moving plate 60.

[0320] For example, the movable plate 60 may include a first recess 66A and a second recess 66B, wherein at least a portion of the first spherical member 63A is disposed in the first recess 66A and at least a portion of the second spherical member 63B is disposed in the second recess 66B. For example, the recesses 66A and 66B may be disposed so as to be spaced apart from each other in a third direction (e.g., the Y-axis direction). For example, the spherical members 63A and 63B may be disposed so as to be spaced apart from each other in a third direction (e.g., the Y-axis direction).

[0321] In another embodiment, the recessed portions of the moving plate 60 in which the spherical members 63A and 63B are disposed may be spaced apart from each other in the second direction (e.g., the X-axis direction). That is, in another embodiment, the spherical members of the rolling member 63 may be spaced apart from each other in the second direction.

[0322] The recess 66 may contact the rolling member 63 at at least one point. For example, the recess 66 may include a bottom surface and at least one side surface connected to the bottom surface. At least one side surface of the recess 66 may be an inclined surface. For example, the recess 66 may include a bottom surface and multiple inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces of the recess 66 may have the same shape. In another embodiment, at least one of the inclined surfaces of the recess 66 may have a different shape from the other inclined surfaces.

[0323] The movable plate 60 may include a first relief portion 61A configured to avoid spatial interference with the gyro sensor 820. Furthermore, the movable plate 60 may include a second relief portion 61B disposed at a position corresponding to or symmetrical to the first relief portion 61A. The second relief portion 61B may provide weight balance with the first relief portion 61A to balance the tilt or rotation of the movable plate 60, thereby improving the reliability of the OIS operation.

[0324] For example, the first avoidance portion 61A may be a recessed portion recessed from one area of ​​the outer surface of the movable plate 60. The second avoidance portion 61B may be a recessed portion recessed from another area of ​​the outer surface of the movable plate 60. For example, the movable plate 60 may include four corner portions (or corner areas), wherein the first avoidance portion 61A may be formed at a first corner portion of the movable plate 60, and the second avoidance portion 61B may be formed at a second corner portion located opposite to the first corner portion. The third and fourth corner portions of the movable plate 60 may be rounded, but in another embodiment, at least one of the first to fourth corner portions may be a right angle.

[0325] The moving plate 60 may include an opening 60A that corresponds to, is opposite to, or overlaps with the magnet 31 and / or the magnetic material 32. For example, the opening 60A may correspond to the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270, may be opposite to the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270, or may overlap with the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270. The opening 60A can reduce the weight of the moving plate 60, which can result in a lighter camera device 200.

[0326] For example, the opening 60A of the moving plate 60 may be provided at a position corresponding to the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270 to avoid spatial interference with the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270. In addition, the opening 60A may be formed to avoid spatial interference with the magnet 31 and the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270.

[0327] For example, the opening 60A of the movable plate 60 may be a through hole. For example, the opening 60A may be formed through the movable plate 60 in the first direction (Z-axis direction) or the optical axis direction. For example, at least a portion of the opening 60A of the movable plate 60 may include a shape corresponding to the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270. For example, the opening 60A may include a circular shape, an elliptical shape, and a polygonal shape, such as a quadrilateral shape.

[0328] For example, the lateral length of the opening 60A may be greater than the lateral length of the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270. In another embodiment, the lateral length of the opening 60A may be equal to the lateral length of the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270. The longitudinal length of the opening 60A may be greater than the longitudinal length of the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270. In another embodiment, the longitudinal length of the opening 60A may be equal to the longitudinal length of the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270.

[0329] At least a portion of the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270 may be disposed within the opening 60A of the movable plate 60. For example, the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270 may overlap with the opening 60A of the movable plate 60 in the optical axis direction. Furthermore, for example, the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270 may overlap with the movable plate 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. This can reduce the length or height of the camera device 200 in the optical axis direction.

[0330] For example, the opening 60A may be provided between the recessed portions 65A and 65B of the moving plate 60. In addition, the opening 60A may be provided between the recessed portions 66A and 66B of the moving plate 60.

[0331] For example, the movable plate 60 may be made of an injection molded material. For example, the movable plate 60 may be made of a plastic, resin, or ceramic material. In another embodiment, the movable plate 60 may include a metal, such as SUS. In addition, the movable plate 60 may be made of a non-magnetic material. In another embodiment, the movable plate 60 may be made of a magnetic material.

[0332] The rolling member 62 and the rolling member 63 may be arranged side by side in a direction in which the rolling member 62 intersects with the rolling member 63 or is perpendicular to each other. The OIS motion unit may be rotated, pivoted, or tilted relative to one of the second direction and the third direction via the rolling member 62. The OIS motion unit may be rotated, pivoted, or tilted relative to the other of the second direction and the third direction via the rolling member 63.

[0333] The rolling member 62 may be provided between the sensor base 270 and the moving plate 60. The rolling member 62 may include one or more spherical members. Figure 2a In FIG. 5 , the rolling element 62 is shown as including two spherical members, but in another embodiment, the rolling element 62 may include three or more spherical members.

[0334] For example, the rolling member 62 may be provided between the lower portion (or lower surface) of the sensor base 270 and the first surface 6A of the moving plate 60. For example, the rolling member 62 may be provided between the recess 29 of the sensor base 270 and the recess 65 of the moving plate 60. A lubricant may be provided in at least one of the recess 29 of the sensor base 270 and the recess 65 of the moving plate 60 to reduce friction.

[0335] The rolling member 63 may be provided between the moving plate 60 and the housing 210 .

[0336] The rolling member 63 may include one or more spherical members. Figure 2a In FIG. 5 , the rolling member 63 is shown as including two spherical members, but in another embodiment, the rolling member 63 may include three or more spherical members.

[0337] For example, the rolling member 63 may be provided between the second surface 6B of the moving plate 60 and the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, the rolling member 63 may be provided between the recess 66 of the moving plate 60 and the recess 55 of the housing 210. A lubricant may be provided in at least one of the recess 66 of the moving plate 60 and the recess 55 of the housing 210 to reduce friction.

[0338] Rolling members 62 and 63 may be members configured to perform rolling motion. For example, each of rolling members 62 and 63 may be a "spherical piece," a "spherical member," or a "ball bearing." Two rolling members 62 and 63 are shown, but in other embodiments, the number may be one, three, or more. Because rolling members 62 and 63 perform rolling or sliding motion, the friction between them can be relatively reduced, which can reduce the current consumption or power consumption required for OIS operation.

[0339] Reference Figure 4d , the rolling member 21 may not overlap with the moving plate 60 in the optical axis direction. Figure 4c As shown, the rolling member 21 may not overlap with the moving plate 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0340] For example, the direction in which the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B are spaced apart from each other may be perpendicular to or may intersect the direction in which the spherical member 62A and the spherical member 62B are spaced apart from each other. In another embodiment, the direction in which the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B are spaced apart from each other and the direction in which the spherical member 62A and the spherical member 62B are spaced apart from each other may be parallel to each other.

[0341] For example, the direction in which the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B are spaced apart from each other may be parallel to or may intersect the direction in which the spherical member 63A and the spherical member 63B are spaced apart from each other. In another embodiment, the direction in which the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B are spaced apart from each other and the direction in which the spherical member 63A and the spherical member 63B are spaced apart from each other may be perpendicular to each other.

[0342] For example, when viewed from above, the distance between the spherical members 63A and 63B may be smaller than the distance between the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B. In another embodiment, the distance between the spherical members 63A and 63B may be equal to or greater than the distance between the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B.

[0343] For example, when viewed from above, the distance between the spherical member 62A and the spherical member 62B may be smaller than the distance between the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B. In another embodiment, the distance between the spherical member 62A and the spherical member 62B may be equal to or greater than the distance between the first rolling member 21A and the second rolling member 21B.

[0344] The support unit may include a magnet 31 provided on the OIS moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) and a magnetic material 32 provided on the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 210). In another embodiment, the magnet 31 may be provided on the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 210), and the magnetic material 32 may be provided on the OIS moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 270). The magnet 31 may alternatively be referred to as a "magnetic material," a "yoke," or a "holding magnet."

[0345] For example, the magnet 31 may be disposed in the recess 28A of the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270 or coupled to the recess 28A of the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270. At least a portion of the magnet 31 may be disposed in the opening 60A of the movable plate 60. For example, the magnet 31 may be opposed to the opening 60A of the movable plate 60 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the opening 60A of the movable plate 60 in the optical axis direction. For example, the magnet 31 may not overlap with the movable plate 60 in the optical axis direction. In addition, for example, at least a portion of the magnet 31 may overlap with the movable plate 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0346] The magnet 31 may correspond to the magnetic material 32 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the magnetic material 32 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the magnetic material 32 in the optical axis direction. The magnet 31 may be a two-pole magnet including an N pole and an S pole. For example, the magnet 31 may be a two-pole magnet in which the N pole and the S pole are separated or arranged along the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, the magnet 31 may be a two-pole magnet in which the N pole and the S pole are separated or arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, the magnet 31 may be a four-pole magnet including two N poles and two S poles.

[0347] The magnetic material 32 may be disposed below the magnet 31. The magnetic material 32 may be disposed in the recess 46 of the housing 210. For example, the magnetic material 32 may be coupled to the recess 46 of the housing 210.

[0348] The magnetic material 32 may overlap with the opening 60A of the movable plate 60 in the optical axis direction. The magnetic material 32 may not overlap with the movable plate 60 in the optical axis direction. The magnetic material 32 may not overlap with the movable plate 60 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In another embodiment, the magnetic material 32 may overlap with the movable plate 60 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0349] When viewed from above, the area of ​​opening 60A of moving plate 60 may be larger than the area of ​​the upper surface (or lower surface) of magnet 31. In addition, when viewed from above, the area of ​​opening 60A of moving plate 60 may be larger than the area of ​​the upper surface (or lower surface) of magnetic material 32.

[0350] For example, an attractive force may act between the magnetic material 32 and the magnet 31 along the optical axis direction (or the first direction). The magnetic material 32 may be made of a material that adheres to the magnet 31. For example, the magnetic material 32 may be a metal material that adheres to the magnet. Alternatively, the magnetic material 32 may be made of a metal material having magnetism. Alternatively, for example, the magnetic material 32 may be a magnet. The magnetic material 32 may alternatively be referred to as a "yoke."

[0351] The attractive force between the magnetic material 32 and the magnet 31 may cause the sensor base 270 and the housing 210 to press the moving plate 60, and the moving plate 60 and the rolling members 62 and 63 may be in close contact with the sensor base 270 or the housing 210. Due to the attractive force between the magnetic material 32 and the magnet 31, the moving plate 60 and the rolling members 62 and 63 may stably support the OIS moving unit relative to the fixed unit, thereby performing a stable OIS operation.

[0352] In addition, since at least a portion of the magnet 31 is disposed in the opening 60A of the movable plate 60, the distance between the magnet 31 and the magnetic material 32 can be reduced, which can increase the attraction between the magnet 31 and the magnetic material 32, and the OIS moving unit can be stably supported relative to the fixed unit.

[0353] In addition, since the magnet 31 is arranged on the central area of ​​the lower surface of the sensor base 270 and the magnetic material 32 is arranged on the center of the lower portion 42 of the shell 210, the attraction between the magnet 31 and the magnetic material 32 can be concentrated on the center of the sensor base 270 and the center of the shell 210, which can effectively and reliably support the OIS motion unit.

[0354] In another embodiment, the protrusion of the sensor base 270 may be omitted, the magnet 31 may be provided on the lower surface of the sensor base 270, the housing 210 may include a protrusion provided on the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 so as to correspond to, oppose to, or overlap the opening 60A of the movable plate 60, and the magnetic material 32 may be provided on the protrusion of the housing 210. In this case, the seating portion 25A of the sensor base 270 may be omitted, a seating portion corresponding to or identical to the seating portion 25A of the sensor base 270 may be formed on the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210, the movable plate 60 may be provided in the seating portion of the housing 210, the protrusion may protrude from the bottom surface of the seating portion of the housing 210, a recess in which the magnetic material 32 is provided may be formed in the protrusion of the housing 210, and a recess in which the magnet 31 is provided may be formed in the lower surface of the sensor base 210. In another embodiment, at least a portion of the protrusion of the housing 210 may be disposed in the opening 60A of the moving plate 60 and may overlap with the moving plate 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the magnet 31 may be disposed on the protrusion of the housing 210 (or in a recess of the protrusion), and the magnetic material 32 may be disposed on the sensor base 270 (or in a recess of the sensor base 270).

[0355] In another embodiment, rolling members 62 and 63 may be omitted, and the movable plate may include a first boss disposed or formed at the locations of recesses 65A and 65B, and a second boss disposed or formed at the locations of recesses 66A and 66B. In this case, the first boss may protrude from the first surface 6A of the movable plate 60, and the second boss may protrude from the second surface 6B of the movable plate 60. For example, each of the first bosses may be hemispherical or dome-shaped, and each of the second bosses may be hemispherical, semicircular, semi-elliptical, or dome-shaped. That is, in another embodiment, the rolling members may be integral with the movable plate.

[0356] In another embodiment, the moving plate 60 may be omitted, and the support unit may include a rolling member, such as a spherical member, disposed between the sensor base 270 and the housing 210. In this case, the rolling member may include two first spherical members disposed in a direction parallel to the first axis and two second spherical members disposed in a direction parallel to the second axis, and the OIS motion unit may be tilted or rotated at a predetermined angle around the first spherical member as an axis, and may be tilted or rotated at a predetermined angle around the second spherical member as an axis, thereby performing a hand-shake compensation operation.

[0357] Figure 13a is a view illustrating electromagnetic forces F1 and F2 and movement of the moving plate 60 due to interaction between the magnet units 310A and 310B and the coil units 230A and 230B, and Figure 13b Shows that due to Figure 13a The movement of the OIS motion unit 100 is caused by the electromagnetic force.

[0358] Will refer to Figure 13a and Figure 13b The movement of the OIS moving unit is described by the OIS operating unit. The OIS operating unit may include a coil 230 and a magnet 310. In addition, the OIS operating unit may include a position sensor 240.

[0359] The first electromagnetic force F1 may be generated by the interaction between the first magnet unit 310A and the first coil unit 230 A. For example, the first electromagnetic force F1 may be applied along the optical axis direction, such as an upward direction or a downward direction.

[0360] The OIS motion unit can be tilted around a second axis (e.g., the Y axis) (or the spherical member 63) by the first electromagnetic force F1. For example, the OIS motion unit can be tilted around the second axis by the first electromagnetic force F1. Here, tilting around the second axis (Y axis) means that the OIS motion unit is tilted around the second axis, or the OIS motion unit is rotated left and right around the second axis (Y axis) by a predetermined angle.

[0361] For example, the moving plate 60 may be tilted about the second axis (eg, Y axis) (or the spherical member 63) by the first electromagnetic force F1. For example, the moving plate 60 may be tilted about the second axis by the first electromagnetic force F1.

[0362] Reference Figure 4bA gap or space may exist between the moving plate 60 and the OIS motion unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) via the first spherical members 62A and 62B to allow the OIS motion unit to tilt about the second axis (or the spherical member 63). For example, a gap or space may exist between the upper surface 6A of the moving plate 60 and the OIS motion unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) in which the moving plate 60 can move. For example, the upper surface 6A of the moving plate 60 may be spaced apart from the OIS motion unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) or the lower surface of the sensor base 270.

[0363] The second electromagnetic force F2 may be generated by the interaction between the second magnet unit 310B and the second coil unit 230B. For example, the second electromagnetic force F2 may be applied in an upward direction or a downward direction.

[0364] The OIS motion unit can be tilted around a first axis (e.g., the X-axis) (or the spherical member 62) by the second electromagnetic force F2. For example, the OIS motion unit can be tilted along the first axis by the second electromagnetic force F2. Here, tilting along the first axis (X-axis) means that the OIS motion unit tilts around the first axis (X-axis), or the OIS motion unit rotates left and right around the first axis by a predetermined angle.

[0365] For example, the moving plate 60 can be tilted about the first axis (eg, X-axis) (or the spherical member 62) by the second electromagnetic force F2. For example, the moving plate 60 can be tilted about the first axis by the second electromagnetic force F2.

[0366] Reference Figure 4a A gap or space may exist between the moving plate 60 and the moving unit (eg, the sensor base 270 ) via the spherical member 62 , so that the OIS motion unit can be tilted about the first axis (or the spherical member 62 ).

[0367] For example, a gap or space may exist between the upper surface 6A of the moving plate 60 and the moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) to allow the moving plate 60 to move. For example, the upper surface 6A of the moving plate 60 may be spaced apart from the moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) or the lower surface of the sensor base 270.

[0368] For example, the moving plate 60 may be tilted along the first axis or the second axis to contact the moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) or the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 210). In this case, the fixed unit or the moving unit may function as a stopper configured to suppress the tilting of the OIS motion unit.

[0369] In a camera device configured such that the image sensor is fixed and the lens moves in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis for hand-shake compensation or shake compensation ("Comparative Example 1"), image distortion may occur. Furthermore, in a camera device configured such that the lens is fixed and the image sensor moves or tilts for hand-shake compensation ("Comparative Example 2"), image distortion may occur at the edges or corners of the image sensor. Therefore, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the image sensor and lens are separate, and only one of the image sensor and lens moves or tilts, which may cause image distortion during hand-shake compensation and may make hand-shake compensation difficult at wide angles.

[0370] In this embodiment, for hand shake compensation, the OIS operating unit can tilt the OIS motion unit around the first axis or the second axis, or can rotate the OIS motion unit within a predetermined angle range. In this embodiment, since the OIS motion unit includes the lens module 400 and the image sensor 810, the tilt direction (or rotation direction) and tilt angle (or rotation angle) of the lens module 400 (e.g., lens or lens barrel) (or coil bobbin 110) can be the same or almost the same as the tilt direction (or rotation direction) and tilt angle (or rotation angle) of the image sensor 810 when performing OIS.

[0371] In this embodiment, when OIS is performed, the lens module 400 (or coil frame 110) and the image sensor 810 can be tilted or rotated together at the same time, 100% image resolution without image distortion can be obtained, and hand shake compensation or jitter compensation can be performed at a wide angle.

[0372] Furthermore, in this embodiment, broadband jitter compensation is possible by tilting or rotating the OIS motion unit including the lens module 400 (or the bobbin 110) and the image sensor 810. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since distortion-free image compensation is mechanically possible, the load during image processing is low compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, thereby reducing current consumption.

[0373] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the moving plate 60 is used to tilt the OIS motion unit, the OIS motion unit can be tilted stably, precisely, and accurately when compared to an example using only a spherical member or a shaft member, thereby improving reliability of OIS operation.

[0374] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the power consumption required to perform OIS can be reduced by the bent portions 804D and 804E and the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 as a flexible substrate of the circuit board 800 .

[0375] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the moving plate 60 is disposed in the seating portion 25A of the sensor base 270 and the protrusion 28 of the sensor base 270 overlaps with the opening 60A of the moving plate 60, the height or length of the camera device 200 in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0376] In addition, in this embodiment, since at least a portion of the magnet 31 is disposed in the opening 60A of the movable plate 60, the distance between the magnet 31 and the magnetic material 32 can be reduced, which can increase the attraction or holding force required to support the OIS moving unit, thereby enabling stable OIS operation to be performed.

[0377] Figure 14 is a perspective view of the camera device 200 including the lens module 400 .

[0378] Reference Figure 14 The lens module 400 may be coupled to the bobbin 100 and may move along the optical axis direction together with the bobbin 110. For example, the lens module 400 may include at least one of a lens and a lens barrel.

[0379] In this embodiment, during hand shake compensation or shake compensation, the lens module 400 and the image sensor 810 may be simultaneously tilted along the same direction and at the same angle along the X-axis or the Y-axis.

[0380] Figure 15a shows a first position of the OIS motion unit 100, and Figure 15b A second position of the OIS motion unit 100 is shown.

[0381] Reference Figure 14 、 Figure 15a and Figure 15b Due to the interaction between the first magnet unit 310A and the first coil unit 230A, the OIS motion unit 100 may be tilted by a predetermined angle θ1 by a force F1. For example, the AF moving unit and the OIS motion unit may be tilted together by a predetermined angle θ1 by a force F1.

[0382] That is, when the OIS motion unit 100 moves from the first position to the second position, the image sensor 810 and the lens module 400 can both be tilted at the predetermined angle θ1. In addition, when the OIS motion unit 100 moves from the first position to the second position, the moving plate 60 can be tilted together with the image sensor 810 and the lens module 400 at the predetermined angle θ1.

[0383] Therefore, in this embodiment, 100% image resolution can be obtained without image distortion, and hand shake compensation or shake compensation can be performed at a wide angle. Figure 20 a and Figure 20The description of b may be applied or similarly applied to the X-axis tilt of the OIS motion unit 100 .

[0385] Refer to 16 to Figure 27 , the camera device 1200 may include a fixed unit, an AF moving unit, an OIS motion unit (or a shaking unit) 1100, and a support unit. The motion unit 1100 may be alternatively referred to as a "moving unit" or a "moving unit."

[0386] The fixing unit may be a fixing element. That is, the fixing unit does not move along the optical axis. Alternatively, the fixing unit does not move or tilt in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In addition, the configuration coupled to the fixing unit may be a fixing unit.

[0387] The fixing unit may include a housing 1210. The fixing unit may include a cover member 1300. For example, the fixing unit may include a configuration provided on or coupled to the housing 1210 or the cover member 1300. For example, the fixing unit may include at least one of the magnet 1310 provided on the housing 1210, the magnet 1031, and the movement suppressing portion 1080.

[0388] The AF moving unit can move relative to the fixed unit along the optical axis. For example, the AF moving unit may include a coil frame 1110. In another embodiment, the AF moving unit may further include a configuration (e.g., a magnet 1130) coupled to the coil frame 1110. In another embodiment, the AF moving unit may further include a lens module 1400 coupled to the coil frame 1110 (see Figures 19a to 19d ).

[0389] OIS motion unit 1100 (see Figure 17a ) can be moved and / or tilted leftward or rightward around a first axis (e.g., X-axis (e.g., pitch)) perpendicular to the optical axis relative to the fixed unit. Additionally, the OIS motion unit can be moved and / or tilted leftward or rightward around a second axis (e.g., Y-axis (e.g., yaw)) perpendicular to the optical axis relative to the fixed unit.

[0390] For example, the OIS motion unit may include an AF moving unit. Furthermore, the OIS motion unit may include an image sensor 1810. The OIS motion unit may include a circuit board 1800, on which the image sensor 1810 is disposed. Furthermore, the OIS motion unit may include a sensor base 1270, on which at least a portion of the circuit board 1800 is disposed. Furthermore, the OIS motion unit may include a holder 1140 coupled to the sensor base 1270.

[0391] The OIS moving unit may alternatively be referred to as a first moving unit (or first moving unit), and the AF moving unit may alternatively be referred to as a second moving unit (or second moving unit).For example, the first moving unit may include a sensor base 1270 and a circuit board 1800.

[0392] In addition, for example, the OIS motion unit may include a configuration provided on or coupled to at least one of the holder 1140, the sensor base 1270, and the circuit board 1800. For example, the OIS motion unit may include the coil 1230 and the magnet 1130 provided on the holder 1140. For example, the OIS motion unit may include the magnetic material 1032 provided on the sensor base 1270. For example, the OIS motion unit may include at least one of the image sensor 1810, the sensors 1170 and 1240, the coils 1120 and 1230, the gyro sensor 820, the circuit element 1815, and the controller 1830 provided on the circuit board 1800.

[0393] The support unit may support the OIS moving unit relative to the fixed unit. For example, the support unit may include a moving plate 1060. In another embodiment, for example, the support unit may further include a rolling member (eg, a spherical member) or a sliding member (eg, a shaft).

[0394] Bobbin 1110 is configured to receive a lens or lens barrel and may be disposed in holder 1140. Bobbin 1110 may alternatively be referred to as a "lens holder" or "lens carrier."

[0395] The coil bobbin 1110 can move along the optical axis. For example, the coil bobbin 1110 can move along a first direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) through electromagnetic interaction between the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130. The coil 1120 and the magnet 1130 can be an AF driving unit configured to move or drive the AF moving unit.

[0396] In addition, the bobbin 1110 may be included in the OIS motion unit, and the bobbin 1110 may be tilted about the first axis or the second axis, or may be rotated by a predetermined angle.

[0397] Reference Figure 20 , the bobbin 1110 may include an opening 1101 for coupling to the lens module 1400. The shape of the opening 1101 of the bobbin 1110 may match the shape of the lens module 1400 and may be, but is not limited to, circular, elliptical, or polygonal.

[0398] although Figure 16Although not shown, the coil bobbin 1110 may include at least one stopper provided on at least one of its upper surface and lower surface. The stopper of the coil bobbin 1110 may protrude from the upper surface (or lower surface) of the coil bobbin 1110 in a first direction or an upward direction (or a downward direction), and may prevent the upper surface of the coil bobbin 1110 from directly colliding with the inner surface of the upper plate 1301 of the cover member 1300 or the lower portion of the retainer 1140.

[0399] The bobbin 1110 may include a seating portion 1115 configured to allow the magnet 1130 to be seated or disposed thereon. For example, the seating portion 1115 may be a recessed portion recessed from an outer surface of the bobbin 1110.

[0400] Reference Figure 21 The bobbin 1110 may include a plurality of side surfaces 1110A to 1110D or outer surfaces. For example, the bobbin 1110 may include a first side surface 1110A, a second side surface 1110B, a third side surface 1110C, and a fourth side surface 1110D.

[0401] For example, the second side surface 1110B may face the first side surface 1110A, or may be opposite to the first side surface 1110A with respect to the optical axis OA. The third side surface 1110C and the fourth side surface 1110D may be located between the first side surface 1110A and the second side surface 1110B. For example, the fourth side surface 1110D may face the third side surface 1110C, or may be opposite to the third side surface 1110C with respect to the optical axis OA. Figure 21 , the bobbin 1110 is shown as including four side surfaces, but in another embodiment, the bobbin may include three side surfaces or five or more side surfaces.

[0402] For example, seating portion 1115 may be formed on first side surface 1110A of the bobbin. For example, the lower portion of seating portion 1115 may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of bobbin 1110. Alternatively, the upper portion of seating portion 1115 may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of bobbin 1110. In another embodiment, for example, seating portion 1115 may include an opening that opens to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of bobbin 1110.

[0403] The coil bobbin 1110 may include a receiving portion 1112 configured to receive at least a portion of the rolling member 1021. For example, at least a portion of the receiving portion 1112 may be provided on the first side surface 1110A of the coil bobbin 1110. The receiving portion 1112 may be a recessed portion recessed from the outer surface (e.g., first side surface 1110A) of the coil bobbin 1110. The receiving portion 1112 may alternatively be referred to as a "receiving recess," a "recess," or a "guide recess." A lubricant (e.g., grease) may be provided in the receiving portion 1112 of the coil bobbin 1110 to reduce friction with the rolling member 1021.

[0404] For example, bobbin 1110 may include first receiving portion 1112A configured to receive rolling member 1021A and second receiving portion 1112B configured to receive rolling member 1021B. For example, seating portion 1115 may be provided between first receiving portion 1112A and second receiving portion 1112B.

[0405] For example, first receiving portion 1112A (or second receiving portion 1112B) may include an opening that opens to the upper surface of bobbin 1110. In another embodiment, the upper portions of receiving portions 1112A and 1112B may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of bobbin 1110. For example, the lower portions of receiving portions 1112A and 1112B may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of bobbin 1110.

[0406] For example, the receiving portion 1112 may be formed to extend along the optical axis direction. For example, the receiving portion 1112 may be formed to extend along the optical axis direction to be formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the bobbin 1110 .

[0407] For example, when viewed from above, the shape of the receiving portion 1112 may be, but is not limited to, a triangle, and the shape of the receiving portion may be a polygon (e.g., a quadrilateral or a pentagon). Alternatively, for example, when viewed from above, the receiving portion 1112 may have a "V" shape or a "U" shape.

[0408] The magnet 1130 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the bobbin 1110. For example, the magnet 1130 may be disposed on or coupled to the first side surface 1110A of the bobbin 1110. For example, the magnet 1130 may be disposed in or coupled to the seating portion 1115 of the bobbin 1110. For example, the magnet 1130 may be disposed between the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B.

[0409] The shape of the magnet 1130 may have a shape corresponding to the first side surface 1110A of the bobbin 1110, for example, a cubic shape. In another embodiment, for example, at least one of opposite ends of the magnet 1130 may be tapered.

[0410] For example, the magnet 1130 may include a first side surface 1013A facing the coil 1120 and a second side surface 1013B opposite the first side surface 1013A. The first side surface 1013A of the magnet 1130 may be exposed relative to the first side surface 1110A of the bobbin 1110.

[0411] In addition, in order to enhance the electromagnetic force, the magnet 1130 can be a quadrupole magnet. For example, the magnet 1130 can include two N poles and two S poles. For example, the magnet 1130 can include a first magnet including an N pole and an S pole, a second magnet including an S pole and an N pole, and a partition wall provided between the first magnet and the second magnet. The partition wall that is essentially a non-magnetic portion can include a section with almost no polarity, which section can be filled with air or made of a non-magnetic material and can be referred to as a "neutral zone". For example, the first magnet and the second magnet can face each other in the direction of the optical axis, and the first magnet and the second magnet can be arranged to face different polarities in the direction of the optical axis.

[0412] In another embodiment, the magnet 1130 may be a two-pole magnet having two different polarities and a naturally formed interface between the different polarities. For example, in another embodiment, the magnet 1130 may include one north pole and one south pole. For example, the magnet 1130 may be a two-pole magnet in which the north pole and the south pole are separated or arranged along the optical axis. In another embodiment, the magnet 1130 may be a magnet in which the north pole and the south pole are separated in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0413] The holder 1140 can be disposed in the cover member 1300. The holder 1140 can include a cavity configured to receive the coil bobbin 1110. The holder 1140 can include an opening 1030A corresponding to the opening 1101 of the coil bobbin 1110. For example, the opening 1030A can be a through hole or a hollow portion configured to expose at least a portion of the coil bobbin 1110 (or the lens module 1400). In addition, for example, the opening 1030A of the holder 1140 can expose the image capture area of ​​the image sensor 1810. The holder 1140 can alternatively be referred to as a "housing".

[0414] For example, the opening 1030A may be located at the center or central area of ​​the holder 1140. For example, the opening 1030A of the holder 1140 may be a through hole or a hollow portion formed through the holder 1140 along the optical axis. The opening 1030A of the holder 1140 may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the bobbin 1110, such as, but not limited to, a polygonal shape (e.g., a quadrilateral shape or an octagonal shape) or a circular shape (or an elliptical shape), and may have various shapes.

[0415] The holder 1140 may include a plurality of side portions 1041A to 1041D. The holder 1140 may include a corner portion located between two adjacent side portions and connecting the two adjacent side portions to each other.

[0416] The retainer 1140 may include a first side portion 1041A corresponding to or opposite to the first side surface 1110A of the coil frame 1110, a second side portion 1041B corresponding to or opposite to the second side surface 1110B of the coil frame 1110, a third side portion 1041C corresponding to or opposite to the third side surface 1110C of the coil frame 1110, and a fourth side portion 1041D corresponding to or opposite to the fourth side surface 1110D of the coil frame 1110.

[0417] The first side portion 1041A (or the first side surface or the first outer surface) of the retainer 1140 can be positioned opposite to the second side portion 1041B (or the second side surface or the second outer surface) of the retainer 1140 about the optical axis, and the third side portion 1041C (or the third side surface or the third outer surface) of the retainer 1140 can be positioned opposite to the fourth side portion 1041D (or the fourth side surface or the fourth outer surface) of the retainer 1140 about the optical axis.

[0418] Each of the first to fourth side portions 1041A to 1041D of the holder 1140 may be disposed parallel to a corresponding one of the side plates 1302 of the cover member 1300 .

[0419] Reference Figure 22a and Figure 22bThe holder 1140 may include a seating portion 1142A, with the coil 1120 disposed on the seating portion 1142A. For example, the seating portion 1142A may be disposed or formed on the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140. For example, the seating portion 1142A may be a through-hole formed through the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140. Since the seating portion 1142A is a through-hole, a portion of the holder 1140 may not be positioned between the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130, which may increase the electromagnetic force between the magnet 1130 and the coil 1120. Furthermore, since a portion of the holder 1140 may not be positioned between the position sensor 1170 and the magnet 1130, the output of the position sensor 1170 may be improved, and the sensitivity of the position sensor 1170 may be increased.

[0420] In another embodiment, the seating portion 1142A may be a recessed portion recessed from the outer surface (or inner surface) of the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140 .

[0421] For example, the holder 1140 may include a recess 1142, in which at least a portion of the circuit board 1800, for example, at least a portion of the second substrate 1802, is disposed. Since at least a portion of the second substrate 1802 is disposed in the recess 1142 of the holder 1140, the second substrate 1802 and the magnetic material 1082 may not protrude from the outer surface of the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140, or may not protrude excessively from the outer surface of the first side portion 1041A. In other words, the second substrate 1802 and the magnetic material 1082 may protrude less than the sum of the thickness of the second substrate 1802 and the thickness of the magnetic material 1082 relative to the outer surface of the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140. This can prevent the camera device 1200 from increasing in size in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0422] Reference Figure 22a and Figure 22b , the retainer 1140 may include a receiving portion 1116 configured to allow at least another portion of the rolling member 1021 to be disposed or received therein. For example, at least a portion of the receiving portion 1116 may be disposed on the first side portion 1041A of the retainer 1140. The receiving portion 1116 may be a recessed portion recessed from the inner surface of the retainer 1140 (e.g., the inner surface of the first side portion 1041A). The receiving portion 1116 may alternatively be referred to as a "receiving recess," a "recess," or a "guide recess."

[0423] At least a portion of receiving portion 1116 of holder 1140 may correspond to receiving portion 1112 of bobbin 1110 , may be opposite to receiving portion 1112 of bobbin 1110 , or may overlap with receiving portion 1112 of bobbin 1110 .

[0424] For example, retainer 1140 may include a first receiving portion 1116A configured to receive at least another portion of first rolling members B1 and B2, and a second receiving portion 1116B configured to receive at least another portion of second rolling members B3 and B4. For example, a seating portion 1142A of retainer 1140 may be disposed between first receiving portion 1116A and second receiving portion 1116B of retainer 1140.

[0425] For example, the first receiving portion 1116A (or the second receiving portion 1116B) may include an opening that opens to the upper surface of the holder 1140. In another embodiment, the upper portion of the receiving portion 1116 may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of the holder 1140. For example, the lower portion of the receiving portion 1116 may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of the holder 1140.

[0426] For example, the receiving portion 1116 may be formed to extend in the optical axis direction.For example, the receiving portion 1116 may extend in the optical axis direction to be formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the holder 1140 .

[0427] For example, when viewed from above, the shape of the receiving portion 1116 of the holder 1140 may be, but is not limited to, a triangle, and the shape of the receiving portion may be a polygon (e.g., a quadrilateral or a pentagon). Alternatively, for example, when viewed from above, the receiving portion 1116 may have a "V" shape or a "U" shape.

[0428] For example, when viewed along the optical axis or from above, the receiving portion 1116 may be opposite to the upper plate 1301 of the cover member 1300, or may overlap with the upper plate 1301 of the cover member 1300. For example, at least a portion of the upper plate 1301 of the cover member 1300 may cover the receiving portion 1116.

[0429] The camera device 1200 may include a rolling member 1021 disposed between the bobbin 1110 and the holder 1140. The rolling member 1021 may alternatively be referred to as a "spherical member," a "ball," or a "ball bearing."

[0430] At least a portion of rolling member 1021 may contact bobbin 1110 and holder 1140 and may roll or rotate between bobbin 1110 and holder 1140 to support movement of bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction. When bobbin 1110 moves in the optical axis direction, rolling member 1021 may reduce friction between bobbin 1110 and holder 1140. Due to the rolling or rotation of rolling member 1021, bobbin 1110 may slide in the optical axis direction while in contact with rolling member 1021.

[0431] For example, the rolling member 1021 may be made of, but not limited to, metal, plastic, or resin. The rolling member 1021 may have a circular shape and a diameter large enough to support movement of the bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction.

[0432] For example, rolling member 1021 may be disposed between an outer surface of bobbin 1110 and an inner surface of retainer 1140. For example, rolling member 1021 may be disposed between first side surface 1110A of bobbin 1110 and first side portion 1041A of retainer 1140. For example, rolling member 1021 may be disposed between receiving portion 1112 of bobbin 1110 and receiving portion 1116 of retainer 1140.

[0433] For example, at least a portion of rolling member 1021 may be in contact with receiving portion 1112 of bobbin 1110 , and at least another portion of rolling member 1021 may be in contact with receiving portion 1116 of retainer 1140 .

[0434] The rolling member 1021 may include at least one spherical member. For example, the rolling member 1021 may include two or more spherical members B1 to B4.

[0435] For example, rolling member 1021 may include a first rolling member 1021A disposed between first receiving portion 1112A of bobbin 1110 and first receiving portion 1116A of retainer 1140, and a second rolling member 1021B disposed between second receiving portion 1112B of bobbin 1110 and second receiving portion 1116B of retainer 1140. For example, first rolling member 1021A may include at least one spherical member. For example, first rolling member 1021A may include a plurality of spherical members B1 and B2.

[0436] The second rolling member 1021B may include at least one spherical member. For example, the second rolling member 1021B may include a plurality of spherical members B3 and B4. In another embodiment, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include one spherical member.

[0437] For example, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include three or more spherical members. For example, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include a top spherical member located at the uppermost side, a bottom spherical member located at the lowermost side, and at least one intermediate spherical member located between the top spherical member and the bottom spherical member. For example, the diameter of the top spherical member may be larger than the diameter of the intermediate spherical member, and the diameter of the bottom spherical member may be larger than the diameter of the intermediate spherical member. In addition, for example, the diameter of the top spherical member and the diameter of the bottom spherical member may be equal to each other. In another embodiment, the diameter of the top spherical member, the diameter of the bottom spherical member, and the diameter of the intermediate spherical member may be equal to each other.

[0438] For example, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include a first spherical member (top spherical member), a second spherical member (bottom spherical member), and a third spherical member (middle spherical member) arranged along the optical axis, wherein the diameter of the first spherical member may be larger than the diameter of the third spherical member. In addition, the diameter of the second spherical member may be larger than the diameter of the third spherical member. For example, the diameter of the first spherical member and the diameter of the third spherical member may be equal to each other. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first spherical member may be larger than the diameter of the second spherical member. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first spherical member may be smaller than the diameter of the second spherical member. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first spherical member, the diameter of the second spherical member, and the diameter of the third spherical member may be equal to each other.

[0439] For example, each of the diameter of the first spherical member and the diameter of the second spherical member may be 0.85 mm to 0.95 mm, and the diameter of the third spherical member may be 0.75 mm to 0.85 mm.

[0440] In another embodiment, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B can include four spherical members, wherein the diameter of each of the top spherical member and the diameter of the bottom spherical member can be 0.85mm to 0.95mm, and the diameter of each of the two middle spherical members can be 0.75mm to 0.85mm.

[0441] When viewed from above, coil 1120 and magnet 1130 may be located between first rolling member 1021A and second rolling member 1021B. This serves to improve the reliability of autofocus by ensuring that rolling member 1021 stably supports bobbin 1110 when bobbin 1110 moves along the optical axis without tilting or moving bobbin 1110.

[0442] In another embodiment, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may be in the form of a shaft or a roller. In another embodiment, a sliding member (eg, a shaft) or a roller may be included instead of the spherical members 1021A and 1021B.

[0443] The camera device 1200 may include a magnetic material 1082 configured such that an attractive force acts between the magnet 1130 and the magnetic material 1082. For example, the attractive force may act between the magnetic material 1082 and the magnet 1130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis (or the second direction). For example, the magnetic material 1082 may be provided on the holder 1140. In another embodiment, the magnetic material 1082 may be provided on the housing 1210.

[0444] Magnetic material 1082 can be made of a material that adheres to a magnet. For example, magnetic material 1082 can be a metal material that adheres to a magnet. Alternatively, magnetic material 1082 can be made of a metallic material that exhibits magnetism. Alternatively, for example, magnetic material 1082 can be a magnet. Magnetic material 1082 can alternatively be referred to as a "yoke." Magnetic material 1082 can be used to enhance or increase the electromagnetic force between magnet 1130 and coil 1120.

[0445] Since magnet 1130 is disposed on bobbin 1110 and magnetic material 1082 is disposed on retainer 1140, the attractive force acting between magnetic material 1082 and magnet 1130 can pull bobbin 1110 in the direction toward retainer 1140 on which magnetic material 1082 is disposed. Due to the attractive force between magnetic material 1082 and magnet 1130, bobbin 1110 and retainer 1140 can press rolling member 1021, and bobbin 1110 can be stably supported. Magnetic material 1082 and magnet 1130 can be a "pressing unit" or "pressing member." When bobbin 1110 is moved along the optical axis by the pressing unit, contact between bobbin 1110 and rolling member 1021, and between retainer 1140 and rolling member 1021, can be maintained. That is, due to the attractive force between the magnet 1130 and the magnetic material 1082 , the rolling member 1021 can stably support the bobbin 1110 against the retainer 1140 .

[0446] In another embodiment, the magnet 1130 may be disposed on the holder 1140, and the coil 1120 may be disposed on the bobbin 1110. For example, the magnetic material 1082 may be disposed on the holder 1140 together with the magnet 1130. For example, the magnet 1130 may be disposed between the magnetic material 1082 and the coil 1120. In another embodiment, the magnetic material 1082 may be disposed on the bobbin 1110 together with the coil 1120, while being opposite to the magnet 1130 disposed on the holder 1140. Furthermore, the camera device 1200 may further include an energizing member, such as a conductive member, configured to electrically connect the coil 1120 disposed on the bobbin 1110 and the second substrate 1802 of the circuit board 1800 to each other.

[0448] The holder 1140 may include a recessed portion 1045B provided or formed on a corner region of the inner surface of the seating portion 1045A. The recessed portion 1045B may have a structure that is recessed in a direction from the optical axis toward the corner region of the inner surface of the seating portion 1045A. The recessed portion 1045B may prevent an adhesive (e.g., UV epoxy) configured to attach or couple the optical filter 1610 to the seating portion 1045A from overflowing from the seating portion 1045A.

[0449] The holder 1140 may include an avoidance recess 1046 configured to avoid spatial interference with the circuit element 1815. For example, the avoidance recess 1046 may be provided or formed on the lower surface of the holder 1140.

[0450] The avoidance recess 1046 may correspond to the circuit element 1815 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the circuit element 1815 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the circuit element 1815 in the optical axis direction. For example, the avoidance recess 1046 may be located between the seating portion 1045A and one side of the lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the avoidance recess 1046 may include a first avoidance recess 1046A and a second avoidance recess 1046B positioned opposite to each other with respect to the seating portion 1045A or the optical filter 1610. In another embodiment, the avoidance recess 1046 may include four avoidance recesses disposed between the opening 1030A and the four side surfaces of the holder 1140.

[0451] The holder 1140 may include a recess 1047 corresponding to the protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270. The protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270 and the recess 1047 of the holder 1140 may serve as a guide configured to facilitate assembly of the sensor base 1270 and the holder 1140, and may increase the coupling area between the sensor base 1270 and the holder 1140 to improve the coupling force between the sensor base 1270 and the holder 1140.

[0452] For example, the recess 1047 may be recessed from the lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the recess 1047 may be provided or formed at a corner portion or corner area of ​​the lower surface of the holder 1140. The recess 1047 of the holder 1140 may have a shape corresponding to the protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270. In addition, the holder 1140 may include a recess 48 or hole corresponding to the boss 1017 of the sensor base 1270. For example, the boss 1017 of the sensor base 1270 may be inserted into or coupled to the recess 1048 of the holder 1140. For example, the recess 1048 may be provided or formed on the bottom surface of the recess 1047 of the holder 1140. For example, the recess 1048 may be recessed from the bottom surface of the recess 1047 of the holder 1140.

In another embodiment, the boss 1017 may be formed on the holder 1140, and the recess 1048 may be formed on the sensor base 1270.

[0454] The camera device 1200 may include an optical filter 1610 disposed on or coupled to the holder 1140. For example, the optical filter 1610 may be disposed below the holder 1140. For example, the optical filter 1610 may be coupled to a lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the optical filter 1610 may be disposed on a seating portion 1045A of the holder 1140.

[0455] The filter 1610 can be used to prevent a specific frequency band component of light passing through the lens module 1400 from being incident on the image sensor 1810. For example, the filter 1610 can be an infrared cut filter. For example, the filter 1610 can be arranged parallel to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis OA.

[0456] The optical filter 1610 may be coupled to the holder 1140 (or the seating portion 1045A) via an adhesive (not shown). For example, an edge region of the optical filter 1610 may be coupled to the bottom surface of the seating portion 1045A.

[0457] For example, the adhesive may be an epoxy resin, a heat-curing adhesive, or a UV-curing adhesive. For example, at least a portion of the optical filter 1610 may correspond to the lens module 1400 and / or the image sensor 1810 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the lens module 1400 and / or the image sensor 1810 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the lens module 1400 and / or the image sensor 1810 in the optical axis direction.

[0458] The sensor base 1270 may be disposed below the holder 1140. The sensor base 1270 may be coupled to the holder 1140. The sensor base 1270 may alternatively be referred to as a "holder." In addition, the holder 1140 may be referred to as a "first housing" (or "first holder"), and the sensor base 1270 may be referred to as a "second housing" (or "second holder"). Alternatively, the holder 1140 and the sensor base 1270 may not be separately represented and may alternatively be represented by a single term, such as a "housing" (or "holder"). In another embodiment, the sensor base 1270 and the holder 1140 may be integrally formed.

[0459] For example, the sensor base 1270 may include a protrusion 1216 protruding from an upper surface thereof. The protrusion 1216 may alternatively be referred to as a "post portion."

[0460] For example, the protrusion 1216 may correspond to the recess 1047 of the holder 1140 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the recess 1047 of the holder 1140 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the recess 1047 of the holder 1140 in the optical axis direction. At least a portion of the protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270 may be inserted into the recess 1047 of the holder 1140. For example, at least a portion of the protrusion 1216 may be coupled to the recess 1047 of the holder 1140.

For example, the body 1270A may have a shape corresponding to the first substrate 1801 of the circuit board 1800. For example, the body 1270A may have a polyhedron shape, such as a hexahedron. For example, the protrusion 1216 may be provided at a corner region of the upper surface of the body 1270A. For example, the protrusion 1216 may include four protrusions 1216A to 1216D provided at the four corner regions of the upper surface of the body 1270A. Furthermore, for example, the holder 1140 may include four recesses 1047 corresponding to the four protrusions 1216A to 1216D.

For example, the gyro sensor outputs rotational angular velocity information generated by the movement of camera device 1200. For example, the gyro sensor may be implemented as a 2-axis or 3-axis gyro sensor or an angular velocity sensor. For example, the gyro sensor may be conductively connected to first substrate 1801.

[0464] In another embodiment, the sensor base 1270 may include a receiving portion configured to accommodate the gyro sensor therein or to avoid spatial interference with the gyro sensor. For example, the receiving portion may be a through-hole formed through the sensor base 1270 along the optical axis, or a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of the sensor base 1270 or the upper surface of the body 1270A. In this case, the receiving portion may include an opening that leads to the outer surface of the sensor base 1270.

[0465] The sensor base 1270 may include a receiving portion 1055 in which the controller 1830 is disposed or received. The receiving portion 1055 may be a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of the sensor base 1270 or the upper surface of the body 1270A.

[0468] For example, the first seating portion 1274A may be formed adjacent to or abutting the second side portion 1051B of the sensor base 1270. For example, the first seating portion 1274A may be a recess formed in the upper surface of the sensor base 1270, the recess being adjacent to the second side portion 1051B of the sensor base 1270. For example, the first seating portion 1274A may include an opening that leads to the outer surface of the second side portion 1051B of the sensor base 1270. In another embodiment, the first seating portion 1274A may be spaced apart from the outer surface of the second side portion 1051B of the sensor base 1270 and may not include an opening that leads to the outer surface of the second side portion 1051B.

[0469] For example, the second seating portion 1274B may be formed adjacent to or abutting the third side portion 1051C of the sensor base 1270. For example, the second seating portion 1274B may be a recess formed in the upper surface of the sensor base 1270, the recess being adjacent to the third side portion 1051C of the sensor base 1270. For example, the second seating portion 1274B may include an opening that leads to the outer surface of the third side portion 1051C of the sensor base 1270.

[0470] In another embodiment, each of the seating portions 1274A and 1274B may be in the form of a through-hole. For example, at least one of the first seating portion 1274A and the second seating portion 1274B may be a hole or through-hole formed through the sensor base 1270 along the optical axis. In this case, a portion of the sensor base 1270 may not be positioned between the coil 1230 and the magnet 1310, which can increase the electromagnetic force between the magnet 1310 and the coil 1230. Furthermore, a portion of the sensor base 1270 may not be positioned between the position sensor 1240 and the magnet 1310, which can increase the output of the position sensor 1240 and improve its sensitivity.

The receiving portion 1028A may be disposed or formed in the lower portion or lower surface of the sensor base 1270.

Additionally, the controller 1830 may receive an output signal from the second sensor 1240B and may use the output signal from the second sensor 1240B to control a second drive signal (e.g., a second drive current) provided to the second coil unit 1230B.

[0494] Coils 1120 and 1230 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to circuit board 1800 (e.g., second substrate 1802). For example, coil 1120 may be conductively connected to circuit board 1800 (e.g., second substrate 1802) via a conductive adhesive or solder. For example, coil 1230 may be conductively connected to circuit board 1800 (e.g., first substrate 1801) via a conductive adhesive or solder.

[0495] The first coil unit 1230A and the second coil unit 1230B may be disposed on or coupled to the first substrate 1801 and may be conductively connected to the first substrate 1801. Figure 22b For example, the first coil unit 1230A and the second coil unit 1230B may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the lower surface of the first substrate 1801. For example, the first coil unit 1230A and the second coil unit 1230B may be disposed between the first substrate 1801 and the sensor base 1270.

[0496] For example, the first coil unit 230A and the second coil unit 230B may be disposed adjacent to adjacent two side surfaces among the four side surfaces of the first substrate 1801 .

[0497] For example, the first coil unit 1230A may be disposed adjacent to the second side surface of the first substrate 1801 corresponding to the second side portion 1041B of the holder 1140, and the second coil unit 1230B may be disposed adjacent to the third side surface of the first substrate 1801 corresponding to the third side portion 1041C of the holder 1140. For example, at least a portion of the first coil unit 1230A may be disposed between the two protrusions 1216C and 1216D of the sensor base 1270, and at least a portion of the second coil unit 1230B may be disposed between the two protrusions 1216A and 1216D of the sensor base 1270.

[0498] The coil 1120 may move the AF moving unit (eg, a bobbin) along the optical axis direction by interacting with the magnet 1130 . The coil 1120 may be disposed on a holder 1140 .

[0499] The coil 1120 can be arranged to correspond to, oppose to, or overlap the magnet 1130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the coil 1120 can be arranged on the holder 1140 to correspond to, oppose to, or overlap the magnet 1130 in a second direction (e.g., the X-axis direction) or in a direction from the first side portion 1041A to the second side portion 1041B of the holder 1140. For example, the coil 1120 can be arranged on the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140. The coil 1120 can be arranged in the seating portion 1142A of the holder 1140.

[0500] For example, the coil 1120 may include a hollow portion or a hole. For example, the coil 1120 may have a ring shape or a closed curved shape. For example, the coil 1120 may have a ring shape wound around a straight line perpendicular to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the outer surface of the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140 as an axis. For example, the coil 1120 may have a ring shape configured such that its length in the transverse direction (or third direction) is greater than its length in the longitudinal direction (or optical axis direction).

[0501] A drive signal may be applied to the coil 1120 to generate an electromagnetic force through electromagnetic interaction with the magnet 1130. For example, the drive signal from the circuit board 1800 or the controller 1830 may be applied to the coil 1120. The drive signal provided to the coil 1120 may be a direct current and may be in the form of a voltage or a current. Alternatively, in another embodiment, for example, the drive signal provided to the coil 1120 may include at least one of a direct current signal and an alternating current signal.

[0502] The coil 1120, to which the driving signal has been supplied, can electromagnetically interact with the magnet 1130 provided on the coil bobbin 1110, and the AF moving unit can be moved in a first direction by an electromagnetic force generated due to the electromagnetic interaction between the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130. The amplitude and / or direction of the driving signal (e.g., driving current) can be adjusted by the controller 1830, so that the movement of the AF moving unit in the first direction can be controlled, and thus the autofocus function can be performed.

[0503] For AF feedback drive, camera device 1200 may include position sensor 1170. Position sensor 1170 may detect the position or displacement of bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction. For example, position sensor 1170 may detect magnet 1130 disposed on bobbin 1110. In another embodiment, a sensing magnet may be disposed on the bobbin, separate from magnet 1130 and opposite to position sensor 1170, and position sensor 1170 may detect the sensing magnet or the magnetic field of the sensing magnet to detect displacement of the bobbin.

[0504] For example, the position sensor 1170 may be provided on the holder 1140. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be provided on the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be provided in the seating portion 1142A of the holder 1140. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be provided in the hollow portion of the coil 1120. In another embodiment, the position sensor 1170 may be provided outside the hollow portion of the coil 1120.

[0505] For example, the position sensor 1170 can be coupled to the circuit board 1800. For example, the position sensor 1170 can be coupled to the circuit board 1800 via a conductive adhesive or solder. For example, the position sensor 1170 can be conductively connected to the second substrate 1802. For example, the position sensor 1170 can be conductively connected to the second substrate 1802 via a conductive adhesive or solder.

[0506] For example, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the first surface of the second substrate 1802. For example, the position sensor 1170 may correspond to the magnet 1130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or in the second direction, may be opposite to the magnet 1130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or in the second direction, or may overlap with the magnet 1130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or in the second direction.

[0507] The position sensor 1170 can detect the displacement of the bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction.

[0508] For example, the position sensor 1170 may detect a magnetic field or magnetic field strength of the magnet 1130 mounted on the bobbin 1110 based on the movement of the bobbin 1110 and may output an output signal.

[0509] For example, the position sensor 1170 may be a Hall effect sensor. In this case, the position sensor 1170 may include two input terminals to which a drive signal is applied and two output terminals to which an output signal is output. The circuit board 1800 may be conductively connected to the two input terminals and the two output terminals of the position sensor 1170. The circuit board 1800 or the controller 1830 may provide a drive signal to the two input terminals of the position sensor 1170, and the output signals from the two output terminals of the position sensor 1170 are transmitted to the circuit board 1800 or the controller 1830.

[0510] In another embodiment, the position sensor 1170 may be implemented in the form of a driver IC including a Hall sensor. For example, when the position sensor 1170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the position sensor 1170 may transmit and receive data to and from the outside through data communication using a protocol such as I2C communication.

[0511] For example, when the position sensor 1170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the position sensor 1170 may include first and second terminals to which power or a driving signal is input, a third terminal for a clock signal, a fourth terminal for a data signal, and fifth and sixth terminals configured to provide a driving signal to the coil 1120. The first to sixth terminals of the position sensor 1170 may be conductively connected to the circuit board 1800.

[0512] Due to the interaction with the magnet 1310 set on the housing 1210 as a fixed unit, the coil 1230 can tilt the OIS moving unit around a first axis (e.g., X axis) or a second axis (e.g., Y axis), or can rotate the OIS moving unit by a predetermined angle.

[0513] The coil 1230 may include a first coil unit 1230A corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping with the first magnet unit 1310A in the optical axis direction, and a second coil unit 1230B corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping with the second magnet unit 1310B in the optical axis direction. For example, the coil 1230 may not overlap with the magnet 1310 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0514] For example, the coil 1230 may be disposed lower than the coil 1120. For example, the first coil unit 1230A may be disposed in the first seating portion 1274A of the sensor base 1270, and the second coil unit 1230B may be disposed in the second seating portion 1274B of the sensor base 1270.

[0515] For example, each of the first coil unit 1230A and the second coil unit 1230B may include a hollow portion or a hole. For example, each of the first coil unit 1230A and the second coil unit 1230B may have a ring shape or a closed curved shape. For example, each of the first coil unit 1230A and the second coil unit 1230B may have a ring shape wound around a straight line parallel to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the upper surface of the sensor base 1270 or the upper surface of the body 1270A as an axis.

[0516] For example, the first coil unit 1230A may have a ring shape configured such that its length in the transverse direction (or third direction) is greater than its length in the longitudinal direction (or second direction).For example, the second coil unit 1230B may have a ring shape configured such that its length in the longitudinal direction (or second direction) is greater than its length in the transverse direction (or third direction).

[0517] For OIS feedback driving, the camera apparatus 1200 may include a position sensor 1240. The position sensor 1240 may detect displacement or angular displacement of the OIS motion unit 1100 due to tilt or rotation of the OIS motion unit.

[0518] For example, the position sensor 1240 may include a first sensor 1240A and a second sensor 1240B. For example, at least a portion of the first sensor 1240A may correspond to the first magnet unit 1310A in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the first magnet unit 1310A in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the first magnet unit 1310A in the optical axis direction. For example, the center of the first sensor 1240A may overlap with the first magnet unit 1310A in the optical axis direction. For example, the first sensor 1240A may detect the first magnet unit 1310A (or the magnetic field of the first magnet unit 1310A). For example, the first sensor 1240A may detect the tilt angle of the OIS motion unit 1100 around the second axis (Y axis).

[0519] At least a portion of the second sensor 1240B may correspond to at least a portion of the second magnet unit 1310B in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to at least a portion of the second magnet unit 1310B in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with at least a portion of the second magnet unit 1310B in the optical axis direction. For example, the center of the second sensor 1240B may overlap with the second magnet unit 1310B in the optical axis direction. For example, the second sensor 1240B may detect the second magnet unit 1310B (or the magnetic field of the second magnet unit 1310B). For example, the second sensor 1240B may detect the tilt angle of the OIS motion unit 1100 around the first axis (X-axis).

[0520] For example, the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the first substrate 1801 of the circuit board 1800. For example, the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B may be conductively connected to the first substrate 1801.

[0521] For example, the first sensor 1240A may be disposed in the hollow portion (or hole) of the first coil unit 1230A, and the second sensor 1240B may be disposed in the hollow portion (or hole) of the second coil unit 1230B. In another embodiment, the first sensor 1240A may be disposed outside the hollow portion (or hole) of the first coil unit 1230A, and the second sensor 1240B may be disposed outside the hollow portion or hole of the second coil unit 1230B.

[0522] For example, each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B may be a Hall sensor including first and second input terminals and first and second output terminals. For example, the first and second input terminals and the first and second output terminals of the first sensor 1240A may be conductively connected to the first substrate 1801, and the first and second input terminals and the first and second output terminals of the second sensor 1240B may be conductively connected to the first substrate 1801.

[0523] For example, the first substrate 1801 or the controller 1830 may provide or apply a first driving signal to the first input terminal and the second input terminal of the first sensor 1240A. The first sensor 1240A may output a first output signal, and the first output signal may be transmitted to the first substrate 1801 or the controller 1830. The first output signal may be output to the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the first sensor 1240A.

[0524] For example, the first substrate 1801 or the controller 1830 may provide or apply a second driving signal to the first input terminal and the second input terminal of the second sensor 1240B. The second sensor 1240B may output a second output signal, and the second output signal may be transmitted to the first substrate 1801 or the controller 1830. The second output signal may be output to the first output terminal and the second output terminal of the second sensor 1240B.

[0525] In another embodiment, each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B may be a driver IC including a Hall sensor. The description of the embodiment in which the position sensor 1170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor may be applied or similarly applied to the embodiment in which each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B is a driver IC including a Hall sensor.

[0526] Camera device 1200 may include magnetic material 1082 disposed opposite coil 1120 and magnet 1130. For example, magnetic material 1082 may be disposed on holder 1140 or on second substrate 1802 of circuit board 1800. For example, magnetic material 1082 may be disposed so as to correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap magnet 1130 in the second direction. Furthermore, for example, magnetic material 1082 may be disposed so as to correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap coil 1120 in the second direction. For example, coil 1120 may be disposed on a first surface of second substrate 1802 facing magnet 1130, and magnetic material 1082 may be disposed on a second surface of second substrate 1802 opposite the first surface of second substrate 1802. Magnetic material 1082 may be coupled, attached, or secured to second substrate 1802 via an adhesive.

[0527] Reference Figure 25a and Figure 25b The housing 1210 may include a cavity configured to receive the OIS motion unit 1100. For example, the housing 1210 may have a shape corresponding to the OIS motion unit 1100, such as the holder 1140 or the sensor base 1270, such as, but not limited to, a polygonal shape (e.g., a quadrilateral shape or an octagonal shape) or a circular shape (or an elliptical shape), and may have various shapes. The housing 1210 may alternatively be referred to as a "base."

[0528] The housing 1210 may include a plurality of side portions 1071A to 1071D corresponding to the side portions 1041A to 1041D of the holder 1140 or the side portions 1051A to 1051D of the sensor base 1270. The housing 1210 may include a corner portion between two adjacent side portions.

[0529] In addition, the housing 1210 may include a lower portion 1042 (or lower plate) located below the side portions 1071A to 1071D. The lower portion 1042 may be connected to the lower side of each of the side portions 1071A to 1071D. For example, the lower portion 1042 may alternatively be referred to as a "bottom portion," "bottom surface," or "body." For example, the side portions 1071A to 1071D may protrude upward from the lower portion 1042.

[0530] The shell 1210 has a first side portion 1071A corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the first side portion 1041A of the retainer 1140, a second side portion 1071B corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the second side portion 1041B of the retainer 1140, a third side portion 1071C corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the third side portion 1041C of the retainer 1140, and a fourth side portion 1071D corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the fourth side portion 1041D of the retainer 1140.

[0531] The first side portion 1071A (or the first side surface or the first outer surface) of the shell 1210 can be positioned opposite to the second side portion 1071B (or the second side surface or the second outer surface) of the shell 1210, and the third side portion 1071C (or the third side surface or the third outer surface) of the shell 1210 can be positioned opposite to the fourth side portion 1071D (or the fourth side surface or the fourth outer surface) of the shell 1210.

[0532] For example, each of the first to fourth side portions 1071A to 1071D of the housing 1210 may be disposed parallel to a corresponding one of the side plates 1302 of the cover member 1300 .

[0533] The housing 1210 may include a stepped portion 1411 provided on the lower portion of at least one of the side portions 1071A to 1071D. For example, the stepped portion 1411 may protrude from the outer surface of each of the side portions 1071A to 1071D of the housing 1210 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the stepped portion 1411 may be opposite to or overlap with the side plate 1302 of the cover member 1300 in the direction of the optical axis. For example, the stepped portion 1411 may be coupled to the side plate 1302 of the cover member 1300 via an adhesive.

[0534] The housing 1210 may include seating portions 1141A and 1141B on which the magnet 310 is disposed. For example, each of the seating portions 1141A and 1141B may be a recess formed in the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. In another embodiment, each of the seating portions 1141A and 1141B may be a through-hole formed through the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210.

[0535] The housing 1210 may include a first seating portion 1141A and a second seating portion 1141B. The first magnet unit 1310A is disposed on the first seating portion 1141A, and the second magnet unit 1310B is disposed on the second seating portion 1141B. For example, the first seating portion 1141A may be disposed or formed on a first region of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210 so as to be adjacent to the second side portion 1071B of the housing 1210. For example, the second seating portion 1141B may be disposed or formed on a second region of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210 so as to be adjacent to the third side portion 1071C of the housing 1210.

[0536] The magnet 1310 may include a first magnet unit 1310A and a second magnet unit 1310B disposed on the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. For example, the magnet 1310 may be disposed below the coil 1230.

[0537] For example, the first magnet unit 1310A may be disposed to correspond to, face, or overlap the first coil unit 1230A in the optical axis direction. The second magnet unit 1310B may be disposed to correspond to, face, or overlap the second coil unit 1230B in the optical axis direction.

[0538] For example, the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be arranged so as not to be aligned with each other in the second direction or the third direction. For example, when viewed from above or when viewed along the optical axis, the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be arranged on the housing 1210 so as not to overlap each other in the second direction or the third direction. For example, the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be arranged on the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210 so as not to overlap each other in the second direction or the third direction.

[0539] In another embodiment, the magnet 1310 may be disposed on the holder 1140, and the coil 1230 may be disposed on the housing 1210. For example, in Figure 18 In this case, the camera device 1200 may include a separate energized portion, such as a circuit board, a circuit member, or a conductive member, configured to electrically connect the second coil 1230 and the circuit board 1800 to each other.

[0540] Each of the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be a two-pole magnet including one north pole and one south pole. For example, each of the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be a two-pole magnet in which the north pole and the south pole are separated or arranged along the optical axis direction. For example, the north pole (or south pole) of each of the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be positioned higher than the south pole (or north pole) thereof.

[0541] For example, a first surface of magnet 1310 facing coil 1230 or opposite to coil 1230 in the optical axis direction may have an S pole (or N pole). A second surface of magnet 1310 opposite to the first surface may have an N pole (or S pole).

[0542] In another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B can be a magnet in which the north pole and the south pole are separated or arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B can be a magnet including two north poles and two south poles. Electromagnetic force can be generated between the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B and the first coil unit 1230A and the second coil unit 1230B, and the OIS motion unit can be tilted along the X-axis or the Y-axis due to the generated electromagnetic force.

[0543] The housing 1210 may include a receiving portion 1049A configured to receive the magnet 1031. The receiving portion 1049A may be disposed or formed in the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. The receiving portion 1049A may be disposed or formed in the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. For example, the receiving portion 1049A may be a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. The receiving portion 1049A may have a shape corresponding to the magnet 1031, such as a quadrilateral or a circular shape. For example, the receiving portion 1049A of the housing 1210 may correspond to the receiving portion 1028A of the sensor base 1270 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the receiving portion 1028A of the sensor base 1270 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the receiving portion 1028A of the sensor base 1270 in the optical axis direction.

[0544] Reference Figure 25b The housing 1210 may include a seating portion 1069 configured to allow at least a portion of the moving plate 1060 to be disposed thereon or to receive at least a portion of the moving plate 1060. For example, the seating portion 1069 may be an upper surface of the housing 1210 or a recessed portion recessed from an upper surface of the lower portion 1042.

[0545] For example, the seating portion 1069 may have a shape corresponding to or identical to the shape of the moving plate 1060. For example, the seating portion 1069 may include a bottom surface 1069A having a stepped portion formed in the optical axis direction from the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210, and a side surface 1069B connecting the bottom surface 1069A and the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 to each other. For example, the bottom surface 1069A of the seating portion 1069 may be positioned lower than the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210.

[0546] Reference Figure 19a and Figure 19b Since the housing 1210 is provided with a seating portion 1069 at the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 thereof, at least a portion of the movable plate 1060 is inserted into the seating portion 1069 or at least a portion of the movable plate 1060 is disposed on the seating portion 1069, the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210 may include a partition wall 1272 (or a guide portion) disposed around the movable plate 1060. The movable plate 1060 may be spaced apart from the partition wall 1272 of the housing 1210, and the partition wall 1272 may be disposed so as to surround the movable plate 1060. The partition wall 1272 of the housing 1210 may prevent the movable plate 1060 from being separated or removed from the housing 1210.

[0547] The housing 1210 may include a protrusion 1049 (or boss) protruding from the lower portion 1042. For example, the protrusion 1049 may protrude from the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. For example, the protrusion 1049 may protrude from the bottom surface 1069A of the seating portion 1069 of the housing 1210. For example, the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 may have a protruding length greater than the depth of the seating portion 1069 of the housing 1210. For example, the protruding length of the protrusion 1049 may be the distance (or shortest distance) from the bottom surface 1069A of the seating portion 1069 to the lower surface (or the lowermost end) of the protrusion 1049. In addition, the depth of the seating portion 1069 may be the distance (or shortest distance) from the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210 to the bottom surface 1069A of the seating portion 1069. In another embodiment, for example, the protrusion length of the protrusion 1049 may be less than or equal to the depth of the rest portion 1069. For example, the protrusion 1049 may have a shape corresponding to or consistent with the opening 1060A of the moving plate 1060.

[0548] For example, the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 may correspond to the opening 1060A of the moving plate 1060 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the opening 1060A of the moving plate 1060 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the opening 1060A of the moving plate 1060 in the optical axis direction. For example, at least a portion of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 may be disposed in the opening 1060A of the moving plate 1060.

[0549] For example, the receiving portion 1049A may be provided or formed in the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. For example, the receiving portion 1049A may be a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210.

[0550] For example, the protrusion 1049 may be provided between the recesses 1055A and 1055B of the housing 1210. For example, the protrusion 1049 may be provided between the bosses 1066A and 1066B of the moving plate 1060. For example, the protrusion 1049 (or the magnet 1031) may overlap with the bosses 1066A and 1066B of the moving plate 1060 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, for example, in the third direction.

[0551] For example, at least a portion of the first magnet unit 1310A may correspond to the moving plate 1060 in a direction parallel to the first axis, may be opposite to the moving plate 1060 in a direction parallel to the first axis, or may overlap with the moving plate 1060 in a direction parallel to the first axis. In addition, at least a portion of the second magnet unit 1310B may correspond to the moving plate 1060 in a direction parallel to the second axis, may be opposite to the moving plate 1060 in a direction parallel to the second axis, or may overlap with the moving plate 1060 in a direction parallel to the second axis.

[0552] The housing 1210 may include a recess 1055 in which at least a portion of the boss 1066 of the movable plate 1060 is disposed or received. The recess 1055 of the housing 1210 may be formed in the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. For example, the recess 1055 may be recessed from the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. For example, the recess 1055 may be formed in the bottom surface 1069A of the seating portion 1069 of the housing 1210. For example, the recess 1055 may be recessed from the bottom surface 1069A of the seating portion 1069 of the housing 1210. The number of recesses 1055 of the housing 1210 may be equal to the number of bosses 1066 of the movable plate 1060.

[0553] For example, the recess 1055 may include two recesses 1055A and 1055B spaced apart from each other. For example, the two recesses 1055A and 1055B may be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the Y-axis direction. For example, the direction in which the recesses 1055A and 1055B of the housing 1210 are spaced apart from each other and the direction in which the two recesses 1029A and 1029B of the sensor base 1270 are spaced apart from each other may intersect or be perpendicular to each other. For example, the receiving portion 1049A may be arranged between the two recesses 1055A and 1055B of the housing 1210.

[0554] The recess 1055 of the housing 1210 may contact the boss 1066 of the movable plate 1060 at at least one point. For example, the recess 1055 may include a bottom surface and at least one side surface connected to the bottom surface. At least one side surface of the recess 1055 may be an inclined surface. For example, the recess 1055 may include a bottom surface and multiple inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces of the recess 1055 may have the same shape. In another embodiment, at least one of the inclined surfaces of the recess 1055 may have a different shape from the other inclined surfaces.

[0555] The housing 1210 may include a protrusion 1215 that protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the protrusion 1215 may protrude from a side portion of the housing 1210.

[0556] For example, the protrusion 1215 may protrude from the outer surface of the fourth side portion 1071D of the housing 1210. For example, the protrusion 1215 may be formed by at least a portion of the fourth side portion 1071D, the at least a portion protruding in a direction parallel to a line passing through and perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the protrusion 1215 may include a recess 1016A (or cavity) in which at least a portion of the fourth substrate 1804 is disposed or received. For example, the recess 1016A of the protrusion 1215 may include an opening that opens upward.

[0557] Reference Figure 25a The recess 1016A of the protrusion 1215 may be provided with coupling recesses 1215A and 1215B for inserting, coupling, or fixing the motion suppressing portion 1080. For example, the coupling recesses 1215A and 1215B may be formed in two opposing inner surfaces of the recess 1016A of the protrusion 1215. For example, the coupling recesses 1215A and 1215B may extend along the optical axis. For example, in order to easily insert or couple the motion suppressing portion 1080 from above, each of the coupling recesses 1215A and 1215B may include an opening leading to the upper surface of the protrusion 1215.

[0558] The maximum length of the protrusion 1215 in the optical axis direction may be smaller than the maximum length of the housing 1210 in the optical axis direction. In this configuration, a space for the circuit board 1800 to extend outward can be easily ensured, and a compact camera device can be realized.

[0559] The camera device 1200 may include a motion suppressing portion 1080 coupled to at least a portion of the housing 1210. The motion suppressing portion 1080 may suppress movement or motion of at least a portion of the fourth substrate 1804 to suppress shape deformation of at least a portion of the fourth substrate 1804.

[0560] Reference Figure 22c 、 Figure 23 and Figure 26 , fourth substrate 1804 of circuit board 1800 may include a first portion 1804A (or "first region") connected to first substrate 1801, a second portion 1804B connected to and bent from first portion 1804A, and a third portion 1804C connected to and bent from second portion 1804B. In another embodiment, at least one of first portion 1804A and second portion 1804B may be omitted.

[0561] For example, the first portion 1804B may extend in a direction parallel to the first substrate 1801. For example, the second portion 1804B may be bent from the first portion 1804B and may extend upward from the first portion 1804B. For example, the third portion 1804C may extend from the second portion 1804B in a direction opposite to the first portion 1804A.

[0562] For example, fourth substrate 804 may include a first curved portion 1804D connecting first portion 1804A and second portion 1804B. Additionally, fourth substrate 1804 may include a second curved portion 1804E connecting second portion 1804B and third portion 1804C. First curved portion 1804D and second curved portion 1804E may be angled, and for example, first portion 1804A and second portion 1804B may be perpendicular to each other. In another embodiment, first curved portion 1804D and second curved portion 1804E may be rounded. In another embodiment, the interior angle between first portion 1804A and second portion 1804B may be acute or obtuse.

[0563] First curved portion 1804D and second curved portion 1804E can prevent the length of camera device 1200 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis from increasing. In addition, since first curved portion 1804D and second curved portion 1804E are located between the upper surface of camera device 200 (e.g., the upper surface of cover member 1300) and the lower surface of camera device 1200 (e.g., the lower surface of housing 1210), the length of camera device 1200 in the optical axis direction can be prevented from increasing, thereby achieving miniaturization of the camera device.

[0564] For example, third portion 1804C may be in the form of a plate or plane perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, third portion 1804C may include a serpentine or meandering shape. For example, third portion 1804C may include at least one curved or bent region. For example, the curved or bent region of third portion 1804C may be curved in a second direction or a third direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Alternatively, the curved or bent region of third portion 1804C may extend in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, when viewed from above, third portion 1804C may include a region having a U-shape or a V-shape.

[0565] For example, the third portion 1804C may be spaced apart from the housing 1210. For example, the third portion 1804C may be spaced apart from the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. In another embodiment, for example, at least a portion of the third portion 1804C may contact the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210.

[0566] At least a portion of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804 may be disposed in the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. At least a portion of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804 may be disposed in the recess 1016A of the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, at least a portion of the first portion 1804A of the fourth substrate 1804 may be disposed in the recess 1016A of the protrusion 1215. The third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 may be located outside the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 may be positioned higher than the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. The lower surface of the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 may be positioned higher than the upper surface of the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210.

[0567] Reference Figure 22aThe sensor base 1270 may include a recess 1273 formed in the portion where the fourth substrate 1804 and the first substrate 1801 are coupled or connected to each other, for example, at a position corresponding to the first portion 1804A of the fourth substrate 1804. The recess 1273 may be disposed adjacent to or abutting the outer surface of the fourth side portion 1071D of the sensor base 1270, on which the fourth substrate 1804 is disposed. The recess 1273 may be used to prevent the first portion 1804A of the fourth substrate 1804 from being damaged by friction with the sensor base 1270.

[0568] The connector 1805 can be coupled or connected to another external connector of the camera device 1200, or an external device. The connector 1805 connected to the other external connector may correspond to a fixed unit that does not move when performing OIS. Since the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 includes at least one curved or bent area, the camera device 1200 or the OIS motion unit can be flexibly supported, and external shocks can be buffered. That is, the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 can be used as a spring configured to buffer shocks. In addition, since the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 can be used to flexibly support the OIS motion unit 1100, the driving force or driving power required to perform OIS can be reduced.

[0569] The camera apparatus 1200 may include a reinforcement member 1070 disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the fourth substrate 1804. The reinforcement member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least one of the first portion 1804A and the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, the reinforcement member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the first portion 1804A and the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804.

[0570] Reference Figure 26For example, the reinforcement member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the lower surface of the first portion 1804A and the lower surface of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, the reinforcement member 1070 may include a first region 1070A disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the first portion 1804A, and a second region 1070B disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the second portion 1804B. The second region 1070B may be bent upward from the first region 1070A. For example, a bent portion may be formed between the first region 1070A and the second region 1070B.

[0571] For example, the area of ​​the second region 1070B may be larger than the area of ​​the first region 1070A. In another embodiment, the area of ​​the second region 1070B may be equal to the area of ​​the first region 1070A, or the area of ​​the second region 70B may be smaller than the area of ​​the first region 70A.

[0572] For example, the reinforcement member 1070 may be spaced apart from the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, the second region 1070B of the reinforcement member 1070 may be spaced apart from the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804. In another embodiment, at least a portion of the second region 1070B of the reinforcement member 1070 may be in contact with the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804.

[0573] In another embodiment, the reinforcement member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the upper surface of the first portion 1804A of the fourth substrate 1804 and the upper surface of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, in another embodiment, the reinforcement member 1070 may include a first region disposed on the upper surface of the first portion 1804A of the fourth substrate 1804 and a second region disposed on the upper surface of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804.

[0574] In another embodiment, the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804 and at least a portion of the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, in another embodiment, the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the second portion 1804B and the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, the reinforcing member 1070 may include a first region disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804, and a second region disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804. A curved portion may be formed between the first and second regions. The first region of the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on a lower surface (or upper surface) of the second portion 1804B, and the second region of the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on a lower surface (or upper surface) of the third portion 1804C.

[0575] The reinforcing member 1070 can prevent the fourth substrate 1804 from being damaged, deformed, or broken due to impact or external force. Furthermore, when the fourth substrate 1804 is compressed due to the tilt of the OIS moving unit 1100, the reinforcing member 1070 can be used to suppress deformation and recovery of the shape of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, the reinforcing member 1070 can include at least one of a metal material and an injection molded material.

[0576] For example, the reinforcement member 1070 may be disposed in the recess 1016A of the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, at least a portion of the reinforcement member 1070 may contact the recess 1016A of the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, the reinforcement member 1070 may not be coupled to the housing 1210 (e.g., the protrusion 1215). In another embodiment, for example, the reinforcement member 1070 may be coupled to the housing 1210 (e.g., the protrusion 1215) via an adhesive.

[0577] Reference Figure 16 、 Figure 25a and Figure 25b , the movement suppressing portion 1080 may be coupled to the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, the movement suppressing portion 1080 may be coupled to the coupling recesses 1215A and 1215B of the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210.

[0578] Reference Figure 18At least a portion of second portion 1804B of fourth substrate 1804 may be disposed between movement suppressing portion 1080 and the inner surface of protrusion 1215 of housing 1210. For example, at least a portion of reinforcement member 1070 may be disposed between movement suppressing portion 1080 and the inner surface of protrusion 1215 of housing 1210.

[0579] The motion suppressing portion 1080 can be spaced apart from the circuit board 1800 in the second direction (X-axis direction) or the third direction (Y-axis direction). For example, the motion suppressing portion 1080 can be arranged to be spaced apart from the circuit board 1800 in the optical axis direction or in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In other words, the motion suppressing portion 1080 can be used to maintain the shape of the curved portions 1804D and 1804E of the fourth substrate 1804, which is a flexible substrate. For example, the motion suppressing portion 1080 can be formed by injection molding a non-magnetic material or resin. In another embodiment, the motion suppressing portion 1080 can contact at least a portion of the fourth substrate 1804 of the circuit board 1800.

[0580] The movement or motion of at least a portion of second portion 1804B of fourth substrate 1804, disposed within recess 1016A of protrusion 1215, can be restricted by movement suppressing portion 1080, suppressing or preventing second portion 1804B from moving out of recess 1016A of protrusion 1215. This can suppress or prevent the OIS motion unit from being affected by the restoring force of fourth substrate 1804 during OIS, thereby enabling precise OIS execution and improving the reliability of OIS operation. Movement suppressing portion 1080 can alternatively be referred to as a "clamp."

[0581] The cover member 1300 may form a receiving space with the housing 1210, and the OIS motion unit may be disposed in the receiving space. For example, the cover member 1300 may be in the form of a box with an open lower portion. For example, the cover member 1300 may include an upper plate 1301 and a side plate 1302 connected to the upper plate 1301.

[0582] The lower end of the side plate 1302 of the cover member 1300 can be connected to the housing 1210. The shape of the upper plate 1301 of the cover member 1300 can be polygonal (e.g., quadrilateral or octagonal) or circular. The upper plate 1301 of the cover member 1300 may include an opening 1303, which is configured to expose the lens (not shown) to external light. The opening 1303 may be a through hole formed through the upper plate 1301 of the cover member 1300 along the optical axis direction. For example, the cover member 1300 may include a plurality of side plates. The material of the cover member 1300 may be a non-magnetic material. In another embodiment, the cover member 1300 may be made of a magnetic material. For example, the material of the cover member 1300 may be an injection molded material such as a resin or a metal material.

[0583] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17a , the cover member 1300 may include an opening 1304 provided or formed in the side plate 1302 to avoid spatial interference with the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210 may extend through the opening 1304 of the cover member 1300 and may protrude from the side plate 1302 of the cover member 1300.

[0584] Cover member 1300 may include a protrusion 1305 positioned above opening 1304 and protruding from side plate 1302. Protrusion 1305 may be in the shape of a plate. For example, protrusion 1305 of cover member 1300 may be positioned on protrusion 1215 of housing 1210. For example, protrusion 1305 may be positioned on the upper portion of recess 1016A of protrusion 1215 of housing 1210. For example, protrusion 1305 may be positioned on the upper side of movement suppression portion 1080. For example, protrusion 1305 may overlap with movement suppression portion 1080 in the optical axis direction. Furthermore, for example, protrusion 1305 may overlap with first portion 1804A of fourth substrate 1804 in the optical axis direction. Protrusion 1305 can inhibit or prevent separation of movement suppression portion 1080 and protect movement suppression portion 1080 and fourth substrate 1804 from impact.

[0585] Cover member 1300 may include a boss (not shown) protruding from upper plate 1301. In this case, the boss of cover member 1300 may protrude from the inner surface of upper plate 1301 of cover member 1300 toward bobbin 1110 or rolling member 1021. For example, the boss of cover member 1300 may be opposite to receiving portion 1116 of bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with receiving portion 1116 of bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction. At least a portion of the boss of cover member 1300 may be inserted into or disposed in receiving portion 1116 of bobbin 1110. The boss of cover member 1300 may be disposed on rolling member 1021. For example, cover member 1300 may include a first boss (not shown) corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping with first rolling member 1021A or first receiving portion 1116A of bobbin 1110. For example, the cover member 1300 may include a second boss (not shown) corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping the second rolling member 1021B or the second receiving portion 1116B of the coil bobbin 1110. For example, the boss of the cover member 1300 may include a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of the upper plate 1301 of the cover member 330. In another embodiment, the boss of the cover member 1300 may not include a recessed portion. Since the cover member 1300 is provided with the boss, this embodiment can prevent the rolling member 1021 from separating from the receiving portion 1116 of the coil bobbin 1110. In addition, the boss of the cover member 1300 can serve as a stopper configured to prevent the coil bobbin 1110 from moving further within a limited range in the upward direction.

[0586] Next, the supporting unit will be described.

[0587] The support unit may be provided between the sensor base 1270 and the housing 1210 and may support the sensor base 1270 relative to the housing 1210. The support unit may include a moving plate 1060 provided between a moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 1270) and a fixing unit (e.g., the housing 1210).

[0588] The moving plate 1060 may alternatively be referred to as a "drive plate," "mover," "mover plate," "drive plate," "plate," "rotating plate," "tilt plate," "moving plate," or "support plate."

[0589] The movable plate 1060 may be tiltable about a first axis or a second axis, or rotatable by a predetermined angle. For example, the movable plate 1060 may be disposed between the lower portion (or lower surface) of the sensor base 1270 and the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. For example, at least a portion of the movable plate 1060 may be disposed in the seating portion 1069 of the housing 1210. Since the movable plate 1060 is disposed in the seating portion 1069 of the housing 1210, the length or height of the camera device 1200 in the optical axis direction may be reduced.

[0590] Reference Figure 19b 、 Figure 24a and Figure 27 The movable plate 1060 may be in the form of a plate. For example, the length of the movable plate 1060 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the optical axis (eg, in a transverse direction or a longitudinal direction) may be greater than the length of the movable plate 1060 in the optical axis direction.

[0591] Reference Figure 24a and Figure 24b , the moving plate 1060 may include a first boss 1065 coupled to or in contact with the sensor base 1270 and a second boss 1066 coupled to or in contact with the housing 1210. The first boss 1065 may be provided on a first surface 1006A (e.g., an upper surface) of the moving plate 1060, and the second boss 1066 may be provided on a second surface 1006B (or a lower surface) of the moving plate 1060 opposite to the first surface 1006A. For example, the first boss 1065 may protrude from the first surface 1006A (e.g., an upper surface) of the moving plate 1060, and the second boss 1066 may protrude from the second surface 1006B (e.g., a lower surface) of the moving plate 1060.

[0592] The first boss 1065 may alternatively be referred to as an "upper boss" (or "front boss") or a "first protrusion," and the second boss 1066 may alternatively be referred to as a "lower boss" or a "rear boss." The number of each of the first boss 1065 and the second boss 1066 may be one, two, or three or more.

[0593] At least a portion of the first boss 1065 can be disposed in the recess 1029 of the sensor base 1270. The first boss 1065 may include at least two bosses 1065A and 1065B. For example, the at least two bosses 1065A and 1065B may be disposed spaced apart from each other in the second direction. Each of the two bosses 1065A and 1065B may be inserted into and disposed in a corresponding one of the first recess 1029A and the second recess 1029B of the sensor base 1270.

[0594] At least a portion of the second boss 1066 can be disposed in the recess 1055 of the housing 1210. The second boss 1066 can include at least two bosses 1066A and 1066B. For example, the two bosses 1066A and 1066B can be disposed spaced apart from each other in the third direction. Each of the two bosses 1066A and 1066B can be inserted into and disposed in a corresponding one of the first recess 1055A and the second recess 1055B of the housing 1210.

[0595] In another embodiment, the two bosses 1065A and 1065B can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the third direction, the first recess 1029A and the second recess 1029B of the sensor base 1270 can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the third direction, the two bosses 1066A and 1066B can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the second direction, and the first recess 1055A and the first recess 1055B of the housing 1210 can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the second direction.

[0596] For example, each of the first boss 1065 and the second boss 1066 may have, but is not limited to, a curved shape, a hemispherical shape, a dome shape, or a polyhedron shape. For example, the shape of the first boss 1065 when viewed from the front or above and the shape of the second boss 1066 when viewed from the rear or below may be circular, elliptical, or polygonal.

[0597] The movable plate 1060 may include an opening 1060A that corresponds to, is opposite to, or overlaps with the magnet 1031 and / or the magnetic material 1032. For example, the opening 1060A may correspond to the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210, may be opposite to the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210, or may overlap with the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. The opening 1060A can reduce the weight of the movable plate 1060, which can result in a lighter camera device 1200.

[0598] For example, the opening 1060A of the moving plate 1060 may be provided at a position corresponding to the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 to avoid spatial interference with the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. In addition, the opening 1060A of the moving plate 1060 may be formed to avoid spatial interference with the magnet 1031 and the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210.

[0599] For example, the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 may be a through hole. For example, the opening 1060A may be formed through the movable plate 1060 in the first direction (Z-axis direction) or the optical axis direction. For example, at least a portion of the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 may include a shape corresponding to the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. For example, the opening 1060A may include a circular shape, an elliptical shape, and a polygonal shape, such as a quadrilateral shape.

[0600] For example, the lateral length of the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 may be greater than the lateral length of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. In another embodiment, the lateral length of the opening 1060A may be equal to the lateral length of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. The longitudinal length of the opening 1060A may be greater than the longitudinal length of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. In another embodiment, the longitudinal length of the opening 1060A may be equal to the longitudinal length of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210.

[0601] At least a portion of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 may be disposed within the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060. For example, the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 may overlap with the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the optical axis direction. Furthermore, for example, the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 may overlap with the movable plate 1060 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. This can reduce the length or height of the camera device 1200 in the optical axis direction.

[0602] For example, at least a portion of the opening 1060A may be provided between two bosses 1065A and 1065B of the first boss 1065 of the moving plate 1060. In addition, at least a portion of the opening 1060A may be provided between bosses 1066A and 1066B of the second boss 1066 of the moving plate 1060.

[0603] For example, the movable plate 1060 may be made of an injection molded material. For example, the movable plate 1060 may be made of a plastic, resin, or ceramic material. In another embodiment, the movable plate 1060 may include a metal, such as SUS. In addition, the movable plate 1060 may be made of a non-magnetic material. In another embodiment, the movable plate 1060 may be made of a magnetic material.

[0604] The bosses 1065A and 1065B of the first boss 1065 and the bosses 1066A and 1066B of the second boss 1066 can be arranged side by side in a direction in which the bosses 1065A and 1065B of the first boss 1065 and the bosses 1066A and 1066B of the second boss 1066 intersect or are perpendicular to each other. The OIS motion unit can be rotated, pivoted, or tilted relative to one of the second direction and the third direction by the first boss 1065 of the moving plate 1060. The OIS motion unit can be rotated, pivoted, or tilted relative to the other of the second direction and the third direction by the second boss 1066 of the moving plate 1060.

[0605] In another embodiment, at least one of the first boss 1065 and the second boss 1066 of the moving plate 1060 may be omitted, and a rolling member or a spherical member may be provided instead of the omitted boss.

[0606] For example, the movable plate 1060 may include a first recess formed in the upper surface of the movable plate 1060 instead of the first boss 1065 and a second recess formed in the lower surface of the movable plate 1060 instead of the second boss 1066, and the supporting unit may include a first rolling member (or a first spherical member) disposed between the recess 1029 of the sensor base 1270 and the first recess of the movable plate 1060, and a second rolling member (or a second spherical member) disposed between the second recess of the movable plate 1060 and the recess 1055 of the housing 1210. For example, the first recess of the movable plate 1060 may include two first recesses, the second recess of the movable plate 1060 may include two second recesses, the first rolling member may include two spherical members, and the second rolling member may include two spherical members. The description of the shape of the recess 1029 of the sensor base 1270 or the recess 1055 of the housing 1210 applies or is similarly applied to the shapes of the first and second recesses of the movable plate 1060.

[0607] Lubricant may be provided on the first boss 1066 of the moving plate 1060 and in the recess 1029 of the sensor base 1270 , or on the second boss 1066 of the moving plate 1060 and in the recess 1055 of the housing 1210 , to reduce friction and protect the moving plate 1060 .

[0608] The first boss 1065 of the moving plate 1060 can slide in the recess 1029 of the sensor base 1270, and the second boss 1066 can slide in the recess 1055 of the housing 1210. Therefore, the friction between the moving plate 1060 and the sensor base 1270 and / or the friction between the moving plate 1060 and the housing 1210 can be reduced, and the current consumption or power consumption required for the OIS operation can be reduced.

[0609] Reference Figure 19d and Figure 27 , the rolling member 1021 may not overlap with the moving plate 1060 in the optical axis direction. Figure 19c As shown, the rolling member 1021 may not overlap with the moving plate 1060 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0610] For example, the direction in which the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B are spaced apart from each other may be perpendicular to or may intersect the direction in which the bosses 1065A and 1065B of the movable plate 1060 are spaced apart from each other. In another embodiment, the direction in which the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B are spaced apart from each other and the direction in which the bosses 1065A and 1065B of the movable plate 1060 are spaced apart from each other may be parallel to each other.

[0611] For example, the direction in which the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B are spaced apart from each other may be parallel to or may intersect with the direction in which the bosses 1066A and 1066B of the movable plate 1060 are spaced apart from each other. In another embodiment, the direction in which the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B are spaced apart from each other and the direction in which the bosses 1066A and 1066B of the movable plate 1060 are spaced apart from each other may be perpendicular to each other.

[0612] For example, when viewed from above, the distance between the bosses 1065A and 1065B of the movable plate 1060 may be smaller than the distance between the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B. In another embodiment, the distance between the bosses 1065A and 1065B of the movable plate 1060 may be equal to or greater than the distance between the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B.

[0613] For example, when viewed from above, the distance between the boss 1066A and the boss 1066B of the movable plate 1060 may be smaller than the distance between the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B. In another embodiment, the distance between the boss 1066A and the boss 1066B of the movable plate 1060 may be equal to or greater than the distance between the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B.

[0614] The support unit may include a magnetic material 1032 provided on the OIS moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 1270) and a magnet 1031 provided on the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 1210). In another embodiment, the magnetic material 1032 may be provided on the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 1210), and the magnet 1031 may be provided on the OIS moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 1270). The magnet 1031 may alternatively be referred to as a "magnetic material," a "yoke," or a "holding magnet."

[0615] For example, the magnet 1031 may be disposed in the recess 1049A of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 or coupled to the recess 1049A of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. At least a portion of the magnet 1031 may be disposed in the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060. For example, the magnet 1031 may be opposite to the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the optical axis direction. For example, the magnet 1031 may not overlap with the movable plate 1060 in the optical axis direction. In addition, for example, at least a portion of the magnet 1031 may overlap with the movable plate 1060 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0616] The magnet 1031 may correspond to the magnetic material 1032 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the magnetic material 1032 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the magnetic material 1032 in the optical axis direction. The magnet 1031 may be a two-pole magnet including an N pole and an S pole. For example, the magnet 1031 may be a two-pole magnet in which the N pole and the S pole are separated or arranged along the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, the magnet 1031 may be a two-pole magnet in which the N pole and the S pole are separated or arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, the magnet 1031 may be a quadrupole magnet including two N poles and two S poles.

[0617] The magnetic material 1032 may be provided at an upper side of the magnet 1031. The magnetic material 1032 may be provided in the recess 1028A of the sensor base 1270. For example, the magnetic material 1032 may be coupled to the recess 1028A of the sensor base 1270.

[0618] The magnetic material 1032 may overlap with the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the direction of the optical axis. The magnetic material 1032 may not overlap with the movable plate 1060 in the direction of the optical axis. The magnetic material 1032 may not overlap with the movable plate 1060 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In another embodiment, the magnetic material 1032 may overlap with the movable plate 1060 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0619] When viewed from above, the area of ​​opening 1060A of moving plate 1060 may be larger than the area of ​​the upper surface (or lower surface) of magnet 1031. In addition, when viewed from above, the area of ​​opening 1060A of moving plate 1060 may be larger than the area of ​​the upper surface (or lower surface) of magnetic material 1032.

[0620] For example, an attractive force may act between the magnetic material 1032 and the magnet 1031 along the optical axis direction (or the first direction). The magnetic material 1032 may be made of a magnetic material. For example, the magnetic material 1032 may be a magnetic metal material. Alternatively, the magnetic material 1032 may be made of a magnetic metal material. Alternatively, for example, the magnetic material 1032 may be a magnet. The magnetic material 1032 may alternatively be referred to as a "yoke."

[0621] The attractive force between the magnetic material 1032 and the magnet 1031 may cause the sensor base 1270 and the housing 1210 to press the moving plate 1060, and the first and second bosses 1065 and 1066 of the moving plate 1060 may be in close contact with the sensor base 1270 and / or the housing 1210. Due to the attractive force between the magnetic material 1032 and the magnet 1031, the moving plate 1060 can stably support the OIS moving unit relative to the fixed unit, thereby performing a stable OIS operation.

[0622] In addition, since at least a portion of the magnet 1031 is disposed in the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060, the distance between the magnet 1031 and the magnetic material 1032 can be reduced, which can increase the attraction between the magnet 1031 and the magnetic material 1032, and the OIS moving unit can be stably supported relative to the fixed unit.

[0623] In addition, since the magnet 1031 is arranged on the central area of ​​the lower part 1042 of the shell 1210, and the magnetic material 1032 is arranged on the center of the lower surface of the sensor base 1270, the attraction between the magnet 1031 and the magnetic material 1032 can be concentrated on the center of the sensor base 1270 and the center of the shell 1210, which can effectively and reliably support the OIS motion unit.

[0624] In another embodiment, the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 can be omitted, the magnet 1031 can be set on the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210, the sensor base 1270 can include a protrusion protruding from the lower surface of the sensor base 1270 to correspond to, oppose or overlap with the opening 1060A of the moving plate 1060, and the magnetic material 1032 can be set on the protrusion of the sensor base 1270. In this case, the seating portion 1069 of the housing 1210 may be omitted, and a seating portion corresponding to or identical to the seating portion 1069 of the housing 1210 may be formed on the lower surface of the sensor base 1270. The movable plate 1060 may be disposed in the seating portion of the sensor base 1270, a protrusion may protrude from the bottom surface of the seating portion of the sensor base 1270, a recess in which the magnetic material 1032 is disposed may be formed in the protrusion of the sensor base 1270, and a recess in which the magnet 1031 is disposed may be formed in the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. In another embodiment, at least a portion of the protrusion of the sensor base 1270 may be disposed in the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 and may overlap with the movable plate 1060 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the magnet 1031 may be disposed on a protrusion of the sensor base 1270 (or in a recess of the protrusion), and the magnetic material 1032 may be disposed on the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210 (or in a recess of the lower portion 1042).

[0625] In another embodiment, the moving plate 1060 may be omitted, and the support unit may include a rolling member, such as a spherical member, disposed between the sensor base 1270 and the housing 1210. In this case, the rolling member may include two first spherical members disposed in a direction parallel to the first axis and two second spherical members disposed in a direction parallel to the second axis, and the OIS motion unit may be tilted or rotated by a predetermined angle around the first spherical member as an axis, and may be tilted or rotated by a predetermined angle around the second spherical member as an axis, thereby performing a hand-shake compensation operation.

[0626] Reference Figure 27 and Figure 28a In the direction in which the bosses 1065A and 1065B of the moving plate 1060 face each other, the first magnet unit 1310A may overlap with the bosses 1065A and 1065B. In addition, in the direction in which the bosses 1066A and 1066B of the moving plate 1060 face each other, the second magnet unit 1310B may overlap with the bosses 1066A and 1066B.

[0627] Reference Figure 19b, the moving plate 1060 may overlap the magnet 1310 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the first magnet unit 1310A may overlap the moving plate 1060 in the second direction, and the second magnet unit 1310B may overlap the moving plate 1060 in the third direction.

[0628] For example, the magnet 1310 may be disposed below the image sensor 1810. For example, the magnet 1310 may be disposed below the filter 1610. In addition, the magnet 1310 may be disposed below the magnetic material 1032. For example, the magnet 1310 may be positioned lower than the retainer 1140. For example, the magnet 1310 may be disposed below the sensor base 1270. For example, the upper surface of the magnet 1310 may be positioned lower than the lower surface of the sensor base 1270. The upper surface of the magnet 1310 may be positioned lower than the lower surface of the retainer 1140. The upper surface of the magnet 1310 may be positioned lower than the lower surface of the magnetic material 1032. For example, the magnet 1310 may be positioned lower than the rolling member 1021.

[0629] For example, the upper surface of magnet 1310, such as the upper surface of magnet units 1310A and 1310B, may be positioned lower than the upper surface of magnet 1031. In another embodiment, the upper surface of magnet 1310 may be positioned higher than the upper surface of magnet 1031, or may have the same height as the upper surface of magnet 1031.

[0630] For example, the upper surface of magnet 1310, such as the upper surface of magnet units 1310A and 1310B, may be positioned lower than the lower surface of magnet 1031. In another embodiment, the upper surface of magnet 1310 may be positioned higher than the lower surface of magnet 1031, or may have the same height as the lower surface of magnet 1031.

[0631] Reference Figure 27 and Figure 28a , a first length L1 of the first magnet unit 1310A in the second direction (X-axis direction) may be smaller than a second length L2 of the first magnet unit 1310A in the third direction (Y-axis direction).

[0632] For example, the first length L1 may be less than the length M2 of the movable plate 1060 in the second direction. For example, the first length L1 may be greater than the length M1 between the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface of the movable plate 1060 in the second direction. For example, M1 may be the shortest distance between the outer surface of the movable plate 1060 and the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the second direction. In another embodiment, L1 may be equal to or less than M1.

[0633] For example, the first length L1 may be less than the length M5 in the second direction of the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060. Furthermore, for example, the first length L1 may be less than the length in the second direction of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. In another embodiment, the first length L1 may be greater than or equal to the length in the second direction of the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060.

[0634] For example, the second length L2 may be less than the length M4 of the moving plate 1060 in the third direction. In another embodiment, the second length L2 may be greater than or equal to the length of the moving plate 1060 in the third direction.

[0635] For example, the second length L2 may be greater than the length M6 of the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the third direction. For example, the second length L2 may be greater than the length of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 in the third direction. In another embodiment, the second length L2 may be less than or equal to the length M6 of the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the third direction.

[0636] Reference Figure 27 and Figure 28a , a third length L3 of the second magnet unit 1310B in the third direction (Y-axis direction) may be smaller than a fourth length L4 of the second magnet unit 1310B in the second direction (X-axis direction).

[0637] For example, the third length L3 may be less than the length M4 of the movable plate 1060 in the third direction. For example, the third length L3 may be greater than the length M3 between the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface of the movable plate 1060 in the third direction. For example, M3 may be the shortest distance between the outer surface of the movable plate 1060 and the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the third direction. In another embodiment, L3 may be equal to or less than M3.

[0638] For example, the third length L3 may be less than the length M6 of the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the third direction. Furthermore, for example, the third length L3 may be less than the length of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 in the third direction. In another embodiment, the third length L3 may be greater than or equal to the length of the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the third direction.

[0639] For example, the fourth length L4 may be less than the length M2 of the moving plate 1060 in the second direction. In another embodiment, the fourth length L4 may be greater than or equal to the length of the moving plate 1060 in the second direction.

[0640] For example, the fourth length L4 may be greater than the length M5 of the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the second direction. For example, the fourth length L4 may be greater than the length of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 in the second direction. In another embodiment, the fourth length L4 may be less than or equal to the length of the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060 in the second direction.

[0641] For example, the third length L3 may be equal to the first length L1. In another embodiment, L3 may be smaller or larger than L1. For example, the second length L2 may be equal to the fourth length L4. In another embodiment, L2 may be smaller or larger than L4.

[0642] For example, the upper surface of the magnet 1310 may be positioned lower than the upper surface of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. This is to ensure that there is enough space to avoid spatial interference between the magnet 1310 and the lower surface of the sensor base 1270.

[0643] In another embodiment, the upper surface of the magnet 1310 may be positioned higher than the upper surface of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210. In another embodiment, the upper surface of the magnet 1310 and the upper surface of the protrusion 1049 of the housing 1210 may have the same height.

[0644] For example, the upper surface of the magnet 1310 may be positioned lower than the highest point of the boss 1065 of the moving plate 1060 .

[0645] When viewed from above or along the optical axis, the bosses 1065A and 1065B, the magnet 1031, and the first magnet unit 1310A may overlap with each other in the second direction. When viewed from above or along the optical axis, the bosses 1066A and 1066B, the magnet 1031, and the second magnet unit 1310B may overlap with each other in the third direction.

[0646] Figure 28a is a view illustrating electromagnetic forces F1 and F2 due to the interaction between the magnet units 1310A and 1310B and the coil units 1230A and 1230B and the movement of the moving plate 1060, and Figure 28b Shows that due to Figure 28a The movement of the OIS motion unit 1100 is caused by the electromagnetic force. Figure 28a The electromagnetic force is shown when each of the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet 1310B is a two-pole magnet having an N pole and an S pole.

[0647] Will refer to Figure 28a and Figure 28bThe movement of the OIS moving unit is described by the OIS operating unit. The OIS operating unit may include a coil 1230 and a magnet 1310. In addition, the OIS operating unit may include a position sensor 1240.

[0648] The first electromagnetic force F1 may be generated by the interaction between the first magnet unit 1310A and the first coil unit 1230 A. For example, the first electromagnetic force F1 may be applied along the optical axis direction, such as an upward direction or a downward direction.

[0649] The OIS motion unit can be tilted around a second axis (e.g., the Y axis) (or the second boss 1066) by the first electromagnetic force F1. For example, the OIS motion unit can be tilted around the second axis by the first electromagnetic force F1. Here, tilting around the second axis (Y axis) means that the OIS motion unit is tilted around the second axis (Y axis), or the OIS motion unit rotates left and right around the second axis (Y axis) by a predetermined angle.

[0650] For example, the movable plate 1060 can be tilted about the second axis (eg, Y axis) (or the bosses 1066A and 1066B of the second boss 1066) by the first electromagnetic force F1.

[0651] Reference Figure 19b A gap or space may exist between the moving plate 1060 and the OIS motion unit (e.g., the sensor base 1270) via the first boss 1065 of the moving plate 1060, allowing the OIS motion unit to tilt about the second axis (or the second boss 1066 of the moving plate 1060). For example, a gap or space may exist between the upper surface 1006A of the moving plate 1060 and the OIS motion unit (e.g., the sensor base 1270) to allow the moving plate 1060 to move. For example, the upper surface 1006A of the moving plate 1060 may be spaced apart from the OIS motion unit (e.g., the sensor base 1270) or the lower surface of the sensor base 1270.

[0652] The second electromagnetic force F2 may be generated by the interaction between the second magnet unit 1310B and the second coil unit 1230B. For example, the second electromagnetic force F2 may be applied in an upward direction or a downward direction.

[0653] The OIS motion unit can be tilted around a first axis (e.g., the X-axis) (or the spherical member 1062) by the second electromagnetic force F2. For example, the OIS motion unit can be tilted along the first axis by the second electromagnetic force F2. Here, tilting along the first axis (X-axis) means that the OIS motion unit is tilted around the first axis (X-axis), or the OIS motion unit is rotated left and right around the first axis (X-axis) by a predetermined angle.

[0654] For example, the moving plate 1060 can be tilted about the first axis (eg, X-axis) (or the spherical member 1062) by the second electromagnetic force F2. For example, the moving plate 1060 can be tilted about the first axis by the second electromagnetic force F2.

[0655] Reference Figure 19a and Figure 28a A gap or space may exist between the moving plate 1060 and the moving unit due to the first boss 1065 of the moving plate 1060 , so that the OIS moving unit can be tilted around the first axis.

[0656] For example, there may be a gap or space between the upper surface 1006A of the moving plate 1060 and the lower surface of the moving unit (eg, the sensor base 1270 ).

[0657] For example, by tilting along the first axis or the second axis, the moving plate 1060 may contact the moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 1270) or the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 1210). In this case, the moving unit or the fixed unit may function as a stopper configured to suppress tilting of the OIS motion unit.

[0658] In another embodiment, the first electromagnetic force generated due to the interaction between the first magnet unit and the first coil unit and the second electromagnetic force generated due to the interaction between the second magnet unit and the second coil unit can act in a direction different from the optical axis (for example, a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, for example, the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction).

[0659] In a camera device configured such that the image sensor is fixed and the lens moves in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis for hand-shake compensation or shake compensation ("Comparative Example 1"), image distortion may occur. Furthermore, in a camera device configured such that the lens is fixed and the image sensor moves or tilts for hand-shake compensation or shake compensation ("Comparative Example 2"), image distortion may occur at the edges or corners of the image sensor. Therefore, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the image sensor and lens are separate, and only one of the image sensor and lens moves or tilts, which may cause image distortion during hand-shake compensation and may make hand-shake compensation difficult at wide angles.

[0660] In this embodiment, for hand shake compensation, the OIS operating unit can tilt the OIS motion unit around the first axis or the second axis, or can rotate the OIS motion unit within a predetermined angle range. In this embodiment, since the OIS motion unit includes the lens module 1400 and the image sensor 1810, the tilt direction (or rotation direction) and tilt angle (or rotation angle) of the lens module 1400 (e.g., lens or lens barrel) (or coil bobbin 1110) can be the same or almost the same as the tilt direction (or rotation direction) and tilt angle (or rotation angle) of the image sensor 1810 when performing OIS.

[0661] In this embodiment, when OIS is performed, the lens module 1400 (or coil frame 1110) and the image sensor 1810 can be tilted or rotated together at the same time, 100% image resolution without image distortion can be obtained, and hand shake compensation or jitter compensation can be performed at a wide angle.

[0662] In addition, in this embodiment, broadband jitter compensation can be achieved by tilting or rotating the OIS motion unit including the lens module 1400 (or the bobbin 1110) and the image sensor 1810. In addition, in this embodiment, since distortion-free image compensation is mechanically possible, the load during image processing is low when compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, thereby reducing current consumption.

[0663] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the moving plate 1060 is used to tilt the OIS motion unit, the OIS motion unit can be tilted stably, precisely, and accurately when compared to an example using only a spherical member or a shaft member, thereby improving the reliability of the OIS operation.

[0664] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the power consumption required to perform OIS can be reduced by the bent portions 1804D and 1804E and the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 as a flexible substrate of the circuit board 1800 .

[0665] In addition, in this embodiment, since the moving plate 1060 is set in the seating portion 1069 of the shell 1210, and the protrusion 1049 of the shell 1210 overlaps with the opening 1060A of the moving plate 1060, the height or length of the camera device 1200 in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0666] In addition, in this embodiment, since at least a portion of the magnet 1031 is disposed in the opening 1060A of the movable plate 1060, the distance between the magnet 1031 and the magnetic material 1032 can be reduced, which can increase the attraction or holding force required to support the OIS moving unit, thereby enabling stable OIS operation to be performed.

[0667] In addition, in this embodiment, since the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B serving as driving magnets for hand shake compensation are arranged on the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210 instead of the side portions 1071A to 1071D of the housing 1210, the thickness of the side portions 1071A to 1071D of the housing 1210 (or the length of the housing 1210 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis) can be reduced, thereby enabling the camera device to be designed for mounting a large-aperture lens.

[0668] For example, the horizontal and vertical lengths of the camera device 1200 according to the present embodiment may each be 12 mm to 23 mm, and the height of the camera device 1200 may be 4 mm to 12 mm. For example, the horizontal and vertical lengths of the camera device 1200 may be the horizontal and vertical lengths of the cover member 1300, and the height of the camera device 1200 may be the distance from the lower surface of the housing 1210 to the upper surface of the upper plate of the cover member 1300. The lens mounted in the camera device 1200 may have an aperture of 9 mm to 19 mm. In another embodiment, the lens mounted in the camera device 1200 may have an aperture of 9 mm to 15 mm. If the aperture of the lens is greater than 19 mm, the size of the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130 may be limited to the extent that the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130 cannot be provided or are insufficient to perform AF.

[0669] Furthermore, if the drive magnet for hand-shake compensation is provided on the side portion of the housing 1210, the length of the camera device 1200 in the optical axis direction may be limited due to the length of the drive magnet in the optical axis direction. However, in this embodiment, the drive magnet 1310 is provided on the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210, so that the camera device 1200 can be designed so that the length of the camera device 1200 in the optical axis direction is reduced without being limited by the length of the drive magnet in the optical axis direction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drive magnet 1310 is provided on the seating portions 1141A and 1141B of the housing 1210, so that the length of the camera device 1200 in the optical axis direction can be further reduced.

[0670] Figure 29 is a perspective view of a camera device 1200 including a lens module 1400 .

[0671] Reference Figure 29 The lens module 1400 may be coupled to the bobbin 100 and may move along the optical axis direction together with the bobbin 1110. For example, the lens module 1400 may include at least one of a lens and a lens barrel.

[0672] In this embodiment, during hand shake compensation or shake compensation, the lens module 1400 and the image sensor 1810 may be simultaneously tilted along the same direction and at the same angle along the X-axis or the Y-axis.

[0673] Figure 30a shows a first position of the OIS motion unit 1100, and Figure 30b A second position of the OIS motion unit 1100 is shown.

[0674] Reference Figure 28a 、 Figure 30a and Figure 30b Due to the interaction between the first magnet unit 1310A and the first coil unit 1230A, the OIS motion unit 1100 can be tilted by a predetermined angle θ1 due to a force F1. That is, when the OIS motion unit 1100 moves from the first position to the second position, the image sensor 1810 and the lens module 1400 can be tilted by the predetermined angle θ1 at the same time. In addition, when the OIS motion unit 1100 moves from the first position to the second position, the moving plate 1060 can be tilted by the predetermined angle θ1 together with the image sensor 1810 and the lens module 1400.

[0675] Therefore, in this embodiment, 100% image resolution can be obtained without image distortion, and hand shake compensation or shake compensation can be performed at a wide angle. Figure 30a and Figure 30b The description may be applied or similarly applied to the X-axis tilt of the OIS motion unit 1100 .
