[0049] Beneficial effects

[0050] In an embodiment, the OIS moving unit may be supported by a repulsive force acting between two magnetic materials, whereby a stable OIS operation may be performed.

[0051] In an embodiment, since at least a portion of the magnetic material for repulsive force provided on the fixing unit is provided in the opening of the inclined guide member, repulsive force or holding force required to support the OIS moving unit may be increased, thereby performing a stable OIS operation.

[0052] In an embodiment, since at least a portion of the magnetic material for repulsive force provided on the support member is provided in the receiving portion of the housing, repulsive force or holding force required to support the OIS moving unit may be increased, whereby a stable OIS operation may be performed.

[0053] In an embodiment, since the OIS moving unit includes a lens module and an image sensor, the lens module and the image sensor can be tilted or rotated at the same time when OIS is performed, so that 100% image resolution can be obtained without image distortion, and hand shake compensation or shake compensation can be performed at a wide angle.

[0054] Furthermore, in embodiments, since the OIS moving unit including the lens module and the image sensor is tilted or rotated for shake compensation, shake of the camera device may not cause image degradation in the central portion of the image sensor and the peripheral portion of the image sensor (e.g., corners or corner areas of the image sensor). Therefore, in embodiments, wideband shake compensation may be possible.

[0055] Furthermore, in an embodiment, since distortion-free image compensation is mechanically possible, the load during image processing may be low, thereby reducing current consumption.

[0056] Furthermore, in the embodiment, since the tilt guide member is used to tilt the OIS moving unit, the OIS moving unit can be tilted stably, precisely, and accurately when compared to an example using only a ball member or a shaft member, thereby improving reliability of OIS operation.

[0057] Furthermore, in an embodiment, the flexible substrate of the circuit board may include at least one bent portion, thereby reducing power consumption required to perform OIS.

[0058] Furthermore, in the embodiment, since the tilt guide member is provided in the seat portion of the housing and the protrusion of the housing overlaps with the opening of the tilt guide member, the height or length of the camera apparatus in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0059] In addition, in an embodiment, since the driving magnet for hand shake compensation can be set on the lower portion of the shell instead of the side portion of the shell, the thickness of the side portion of the shell can be reduced, so that the camera device equipment can be designed to install a large aperture lens.

[0060] In addition, in an embodiment, since the driving magnet for hand shake compensation can be set on the lower part of the shell, the camera device apparatus can be designed so that the length of the camera device apparatus in the optical axis direction is reduced without being restricted by the length of the driving magnet in the optical axis direction.

[0061] In an embodiment, since the width of the second substrate of the circuit board connecting the OIS moving unit and the fixing unit can be designed to be reduced, the elastic modulus and elastic force of the second substrate can be reduced, and the driving force and power consumption required to perform OIS can be reduced.

[0062] Furthermore, in the embodiment, since the tilt guide member is provided in the seating portion of the sensor base and the protrusion of the sensor base overlaps with the opening of the tilt guide member, the height or length of the camera apparatus in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0063] Furthermore, in the embodiment, since at least a portion of the magnetic material is provided in the opening of the inclined guide member, an attractive force or a holding force required to support the OIS moving unit may be increased, whereby a stable OIS operation may be performed.

[0064] The distance between the bosses of the inclined guide member according to the embodiment may be designed to be large compared to the distance between the bosses of the inclined guide member for X-axis driving or Y-axis driving.

[0065] In an embodiment, since the distance between the bosses of the inclined guide member may be designed to be large, the distance (or area) for supporting the OIS moving unit may be increased, whereby a stable OIS operation may be performed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0169] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0170] In the following description of the embodiments, it will be understood that when each element is referred to as being “on” or “under” another element, the element may be directly on or under the other element, or may be indirectly formed such that one or more intermediate elements are present. In addition, when an element is referred to as being “on or under,” “under the element” as well as “on the element” can be included based on the element.

[0171] Furthermore, the relative terms "first," "second," "upper," and "lower" are used herein merely to distinguish one object or element from another and do not necessarily require or relate to any physical or logical relationship or order between such objects or elements. Whenever possible, like reference numerals will be used to refer to like parts throughout the drawings.

[0172] Furthermore, the terms "including," "comprising," and "having" described herein should be interpreted not to exclude other elements but to also include such other elements, since corresponding elements may be inherent unless otherwise mentioned. Furthermore, the term "corresponding to" described herein may encompass at least one of the meanings of "facing" and "overlapping."

[0173] Hereinafter, an imaging device apparatus according to an embodiment and an optical instrument including the imaging device apparatus will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For ease of description, a Cartesian coordinate system (x, y, z) will be used to describe the imaging device apparatus according to an embodiment, but the embodiment is not limited thereto and other coordinate systems may be used for description. In the corresponding drawings, the X-axis and the Y-axis may be directions perpendicular to the Z-axis, and the Z-axis is the optical axis (OA) direction. In addition, the Z-axis direction, which is the optical axis (OA) direction, may be referred to as a "first direction," the X-axis direction may be referred to as a "second direction," and the Y-axis direction may be referred to as a "third direction."

[0174] In addition, the X-axis (or Y-axis) may be referred to as a "first axis," the X-axis (or Y-axis) direction may be referred to as a "first axis direction," the Y-axis (or X-axis) may be referred to as a "second axis," and the Y-axis (or X-axis) direction may be referred to as a "second axis direction."

[0179] Reference Figures 1 to 12 The camera apparatus 200 may include a fixing unit, an AF moving unit, an OIS moving unit 100, and a supporting unit. The OIS moving unit 100 may alternatively be referred to as a "moving unit," a "motion unit," or a "shake unit."

[0180] The fixing unit may be a fixing element. That is, the fixing unit may not move in the direction of the optical axis. Alternatively, the fixing unit may not move or tilt in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In addition, the configuration coupled to the fixing unit may be the fixing unit.

[0181] The fixing unit may include the housing 210. The fixing unit may include the cover member 300. For example, the fixing unit may include a configuration provided on the housing 210 or the cover member 300 or coupled to the housing 210 or the cover member 300.

Furthermore, the OIS moving unit 100 can be moved and / or tilted leftward or rightward relative to the fixed unit about a second axis (e.g., Y-axis (e.g., yaw)) that intersects the optical axis (or optical axis direction). For example, the first axis can be perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and the second axis can be perpendicular to both the optical axis direction and the first axis.

[0184] For example, the OIS moving unit 100 may include an AF moving unit. Furthermore, the OIS moving unit may include an image sensor 810. The OIS moving unit may include a lens module 400. The OIS moving unit 100 may include a circuit board 800 on which the image sensor 810 is disposed.

[0189] For example, the moving module (or tilting module) may include a lens module 400 and an image sensor 810. Furthermore, for example, the moving module (or tilting module) may include a sensor base 270. Furthermore, for example, the moving module (or tilting module) may further include at least one of a holder 140 and a circuit board 800. For example, the moving module (or tilting module) may be tilted about a first axis intersecting the optical axis direction or a second axis intersecting the optical axis direction and the first axis.

[0190] The OIS moving unit may be referred to as a first moving unit (or a first motion unit), and the AF moving unit may alternatively be referred to as a second moving unit (or a second motion unit).

[0191] The support unit may support the OIS moving unit 100 relative to the fixing unit. For example, the support unit may include an inclined guide member 60. For example, the support unit may include a ball member, a rolling member, or a sliding member (eg, a shaft).

[0192] The bobbin 110 is configured to receive a lens or lens barrel and may be disposed in a holder 140. The bobbin 110 may alternatively be referred to as a "lens holder" or a "lens carrier."

[0193] The bobbin 110 can move in the optical axis direction. For example, the bobbin 110 can move in 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.

[0194] In addition, the bobbin 110 may be included in the OIS moving unit, and the bobbin 110 may be tilted about the first axis or the second axis or may be rotated by a predetermined angle.

[0195] 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 mounted thereon, and may be, but is not limited to, circular, elliptical, or polygonal.

[0196] 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 of the bobbin. 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 holder 140.

[0197] The bobbin 110 may include a seating portion 115 configured to allow the magnet 130 to be seated or disposed thereon. For example, the seating portion 115 may be a recessed portion recessed from the outer surface of the bobbin 110.

[0198] Reference Figure 6 The bobbin 110 may include a plurality of side surfaces 110A to 110D or outer surfaces. For example, the bobbin 110 may include a first side surface 110A, a second side surface 110B, a third side surface 110C, and a fourth side surface 110D.

[0199] 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 spool 110 is shown as including four side surfaces, but in another embodiment, the spool may include three side surfaces or five or more side surfaces.

[0200] For example, the seating portion 115 may be formed on the first side surface 110A of the spool. For example, the lower portion of the seating portion 115 may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of the spool 110. Furthermore, the upper portion of the seating portion 115 may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of the spool 110. In another embodiment, for example, the seating portion 115 may include an opening to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the spool 110.

[0201] The bobbin 110 may include a receiving portion 112 configured to receive at least a portion of the ball member 21. For example, at least a portion of the receiving portion 112 may be provided on the first side surface 110A of the bobbin 110. The receiving portion 112 may be a recessed portion recessed from the outer surface (e.g., the first side surface 110A) of the bobbin 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 bobbin 110 to reduce friction with the ball member 21.

[0202] For example, the spool 110 may include a first receiving portion 112A configured to receive the ball member 21A and a second receiving portion 112B configured to receive the ball member 21 B. For example, the seating portion 115 may be provided between the first receiving portion 112A and the second receiving portion 112B.

[0203] For example, first receiving portion 112A (or second receiving portion 112B) may include an opening that opens to the upper surface of spool 110. In another embodiment, upper portions of receiving portion 112A and receiving portion 112B may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of spool 110. For example, lower portions of receiving portion 112A and receiving portion 112B may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of spool 110.

[0204] For example, the receiving portion 112 may be formed to extend in the optical axis direction.For example, the receiving portion 112 may extend in the optical axis direction to be formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the bobbin 110 .

[0205] 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" or "U" shape.

[0206] 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 the seating portion 115 of the bobbin 110, or may be coupled to the seating portion 115. For example, the magnet 130 may be disposed between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B.

[0207] The shape of the magnet 130 may have a shape corresponding to the first side surface 110A of the bobbin 110, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape. In another embodiment, for example, at least one of the opposite ends of the magnet 130 may be tapered.

[0208] 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 from the first side surface 110A of the bobbin 110.

[0209] In addition, in order to enhance the electromagnetic force, the magnet 130 can be a quadrupole magnet. For example, the magnet 130 can include two N poles and two S poles. For example, the magnet 130 can 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 arranged between the first magnet and the second magnet. The partition wall, which is a substantially non-magnetic portion, can include a section with almost no polarity, which 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.

[0210] 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. For example, the magnet 130 may be a two-pole magnet having north and south poles separated or arranged in the direction of the optical axis. In another embodiment, the magnet 130 may be a two-pole magnet having north and south poles separated or arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0211] The holder 140 may be provided in the cover member 300. The holder 140 may include a cavity configured to receive the bobbin 110. The holder 140 may include an opening 30A corresponding to the opening 101 of the bobbin 110. For example, the opening 30A may be a through hole or a hollow portion configured to expose at least a portion of the bobbin 110 (or the lens module 400). In addition, for example, the opening 30A of the holder 140 may expose the image capture area of ​​the image sensor 810. Alternatively, the holder 140 may be referred to as a "housing".

[0212] For example, the opening 30A may be located in 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 in 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.

[0213] The holder 140 may include a plurality of side portions 41A to 41D. The holder 140 may include a corner located between two adjacent side portions and connecting the two adjacent side portions to each other.

[0214] The retaining frame 140 may include a first side portion 41A corresponding to or opposite to the first side surface 110A of the bobbin 110, a second side portion 41B corresponding to or opposite to the second side surface 110B of the bobbin 110, a third side portion 41C corresponding to or opposite to the third side surface 110C of the bobbin 110, and a fourth side portion 41D corresponding to or opposite to the fourth side surface 110D of the bobbin 110.

[0215] The first side portion 41A (or the first side surface or the first outer surface) of the retaining frame 140 can be positioned relative to the second side portion 41B (or the second side surface or the second outer surface) of the retaining frame 140 relative to the optical axis, and the third side portion 41C (or the third side surface or the third outer surface) of the retaining frame 140 can be positioned relative to the fourth side portion 41D (or the fourth side surface or the fourth outer surface) of the retaining frame 140 relative to the optical axis.

[0216] 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 .

[0217] Reference Figure 7a and Figure 7b, the holder 140 may include a seating portion 142A on which the coil 120 is disposed. 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. Since the seating portion 142A is a through-hole, a portion of the holder 140 may not be interposed between the coil 120 and the magnet 130, which may increase the electromagnetic force between the magnet 130 and the coil 120. In addition, since a portion of the holder 140 may not be interposed between the position sensor 170 and the magnet 130, the output of the position sensor 170 may be increased, and the sensitivity of the position sensor 170 may be improved.

[0218] 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 .

[0219] For example, the holder 140 may include a recess 142 in which at least a portion of the circuit board 800 (e.g., at least a portion of the second substrate 802) is disposed. Since at least a portion of the second substrate 802 is disposed in the recess 142 of the holder 140, the second substrate 802 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. In other words, the second substrate 802 and the magnetic material 82 may protrude from the outer surface of the first side portion 41A of the holder 140 by less than the sum of the thickness of the second substrate 802 and the thickness of the magnetic material 82. This can prevent the size of the camera apparatus 200 from increasing in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0220] Reference Figure 7a and Figure 7b , the holder 140 may include a receiving portion 116 that is configured to allow at least another portion of the ball 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 holder 140. The receiving portion 116 may be a recessed portion that is recessed from an inner surface of the holder 140 (e.g., an 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."

[0221] At least a portion of the receiving portion 116 of the holder 140 may correspond to the receiving portion 112 of the bobbin 110 , may be opposite to the receiving portion 112 of the bobbin 110 , or may overlap with the receiving portion 112 of the bobbin 110 .

[0222] For example, the holder 140 may include a first receiving portion 116A configured to receive at least another portion of the first ball members B1 and B2, and a second receiving portion 116B configured to receive at least another portion of the second ball members B3 and B4. For example, the seating portion 142A of the holder 140 may be disposed between the first receiving portion 116A and the second receiving portion 116B of the holder 140.

[0223] 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.

[0224] 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 .

[0225] 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" or "U" shape.

[0226] For example, when viewed in the optical axis direction or from above, the receiving portion 116 may be opposite to or overlap the upper plate 301 of the cover member 300. For example, at least a portion of the upper plate 301 of the cover member 300 may cover the receiving portion 116.

[0227] The camera apparatus 200 may include a ball member 21 provided between the bobbin 110 and the holder 140. The ball member 21 may alternatively be referred to as a "rolling member," "support member," "sliding member," "ball," or "ball bearing."

[0228] At least a portion of the ball member 21 may contact the bobbin 110 and the holder 140, and may roll or rotate between the bobbin 110 and the holder 140 to support movement of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction. When the bobbin 110 moves in the optical axis direction, the ball member 21 may reduce friction between the bobbin 110 and the holder 140. Due to the rolling or rotating ball member 21, the bobbin 110 may slide in the optical axis direction while in contact with the ball member 21.

[0229] For example, the ball member 21 may be made of metal, plastic, or resin, but is not limited thereto. The ball member 21 may have a circular shape and a diameter large enough to support movement of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction.

[0230] For example, the ball member 21 may be disposed between the outer surface of the bobbin 110 and the inner surface of the holder 140. For example, the ball member 21 may be disposed between the first side surface 110A of the bobbin 110 and the first side portion 41A of the holder 140. For example, the ball member 21 may be disposed between the receiving portion 112 of the bobbin 110 and the receiving portion 116 of the holder 140.

[0231] For example, at least a portion of the ball member 21 may be in contact with the receiving portion 112 of the bobbin 110 , and at least another portion of the ball member 21 may be in contact with the receiving portion 116 of the holder 140 .

[0232] The ball member 21 may include at least one ball member. For example, the ball member 21 may include two or more ball members B1 to B4.

[0233] For example, the ball member 21 may include a first ball member 21A disposed between the first receiving portion 112A of the bobbin 110 and the first receiving portion 116A of the retainer 140; and a second ball member 21B disposed between the second receiving portion 112B of the bobbin 110 and the second receiving portion 116B of the retainer 140. For example, the first ball member 21A may include at least one ball. For example, the first ball member 21A may include a plurality of balls B1 and B2.

[0234] The second ball member 21B may include at least one ball. For example, the second ball member 21B may include a plurality of balls B3 and B4. In another embodiment, each of the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may include one ball.

[0235] For example, each of the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may include three or more balls. For example, each of the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may include a top ball located at the uppermost side, a bottom ball located at the lowermost side, and at least one middle ball located between the top ball and the bottom ball. For example, the diameter of the top ball may be larger than the diameter of the middle ball, and the diameter of the bottom ball may be larger than the diameter of the middle ball. Furthermore, for example, the diameter of the top ball and the diameter of the bottom ball may be equal to each other. In another embodiment, the diameter of the top ball, the diameter of the bottom ball, and the diameter of the middle ball may be equal to each other.

[0236] For example, each of the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may include a first ball (top ball), a second ball (bottom ball), and a third ball (middle ball) arranged in the optical axis direction, wherein the diameter of the first ball may be larger than the diameter of the third ball. In addition, the diameter of the second ball may be larger than the diameter of the third ball. For example, the diameter of the first ball and the diameter of the third ball may be equal to each other. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first ball may be larger than the diameter of the second ball. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first ball may be smaller than the diameter of the second ball. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first ball, the diameter of the second ball, and the diameter of the third ball may be equal to each other.

[0237] For example, each of the diameter of the first bulb and the diameter of the second bulb may be 0.85 mm to 0.95 mm, and the diameter of the third bulb may be 0.75 mm to 0.85 mm.

[0238] In another embodiment, each of the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may include four balls, wherein each of the diameters of the top ball and the bottom ball may be 0.85mm to 0.95mm, and the diameter of each of the two middle balls may be 0.75mm to 0.85mm.

[0239] When viewed from above, the coil 120 and the magnet 130 may be located between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B. This serves to improve the reliability of autofocus by ensuring that the ball member 21 stably supports the bobbin 110 without causing the bobbin 110 to tilt and move when the bobbin 110 moves in the optical axis direction.

[0240] In another embodiment, each of the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may be in the form of a shaft or a roller. Alternatively, another embodiment may include a sliding member (eg, a shaft or a roller) instead of the ball members 21A and 21B.

[0241] 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. 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.

[0242] Magnetic material 82 may be a material that adheres to a magnet. For example, magnetic material 82 may be a metal material that adheres to a magnet. Alternatively, for example, magnetic material 82 may be a magnetic metal material. Alternatively, for example, magnetic material 82 may be a magnet. Alternatively, magnetic material 82 may be referred to as a "yoke." Magnetic material 82 may be used to enhance or increase the electromagnetic force between magnet 130 and coil 120.

[0243] Since the magnet 130 is provided on the bobbin 110 and the magnetic material 82 is provided on the holder 140, the bobbin 110 can be pulled in the direction toward the holder 140 on which the magnetic material 82 is provided due to the attractive force acting between the magnetic material 82 and the magnet 130. Due to the attractive force between the magnetic material 82 and the magnet 130, the bobbin 110 and the holder 140 can press the ball member 21, and the bobbin 110 can be stably supported. The magnetic material 82 and the magnet 130 can be a "pressing unit" or a "pressing member." When the bobbin 110 is moved in the optical axis direction by the pressing unit, the contact between the bobbin 110 and the ball member 21, as well as between the holder 140 and the ball member 21, can be maintained. That is, the ball member 21 can be stably supported against the holder 140 due to the attractive force between the magnet 130 and the magnetic material 82.

[0244] 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 110. 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 apparatus 200 may further include an energizing member, such as a conductive member, configured to conductively connect the coil 120 disposed on the bobbin 110 and the second substrate 802 of the circuit board 800 to each other.

[0253] The filter 610 may be used to block 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 may be an infrared cutoff filter. For example, the filter 610 may be disposed parallel to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis OA.

[0294] For example, the first coil unit 230A and the second coil unit 230B may be disposed adjacent to two adjacent side surfaces among the four side surfaces of the first substrate 801 .

[0295] For example, the first coil unit 230A may be disposed adjacent to the second side surface of the first substrate 801 corresponding to the second side portion 51B of the holder 27, and the second coil unit 230B may be disposed adjacent to the third side surface of the first substrate 801 corresponding to the third side portion 51C of the holder 27. For example, at least a portion of the first coil unit 230A may be disposed between the two protrusions 216C and 216D of the sensor base 270, and at least a portion of the second coil unit 230B may be disposed between the two protrusions 216A and 216D of the sensor base 270.

[0296] The coil 120 may move the AF moving unit (eg, bobbin) in the optical axis direction by interacting with the magnet 130 . The coil 120 may be disposed on a holding frame 140 .

[0297] The coil 120 may be disposed so as to correspond to, oppose to, or overlap the magnet 130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the coil 120 may be disposed on the holder 140 so as 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 may be disposed on the first side portion 41A of the housing 130. The coil 120 may be disposed in the seating portion 142A of the holder 140.

[0298] For example, the coil 120 may include a hollow portion or a hole. For example, the coil 120 may have an annular shape or a closed curved shape. For example, the coil 120 may have an annular 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 an annular 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).

[0299] A drive signal may be applied to the coil 120 to generate an electromagnetic force through electromagnetic interaction with the magnet 130. For example, a drive signal from the circuit board 800 or the controller 830 may be applied to the coil 120. The drive signal supplied to the coil 120 may be 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.

[0300] The coil 120, to which the driving signal has been supplied, can electromagnetically interact with the magnet 130 provided on the bobbin 110, and the AF moving unit can be moved in the first direction by the electromagnetic force caused by the electromagnetic interaction between the coil 120 and the magnet 130. The magnitude and / or direction of the driving signal (e.g., driving current) can be adjusted by the controller 830, thereby controlling the movement of the AF moving unit in the first direction, and thus performing the autofocus function.

[0301] For AF feedback drive, the camera apparatus 200 may include a position sensor 170. The position sensor 170 can detect the position or displacement of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction. For example, the position sensor 170 can detect the magnet 130 provided on the bobbin 110. In another embodiment, a sensing magnet separate from the magnet 130 and opposite to the position sensor 170 can be provided on the bobbin, and the position sensor 170 can detect the sensing magnet or the magnetic field of the sensing magnet to detect the displacement of the bobbin.

[0302] For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed on the holder 140. For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed on the first side portion 41A of the holder 140. For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed in the seating portion 142A of the holder 140. For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed in the hollow portion of the coil 120. In another embodiment, the position sensor 170 may be disposed outside the hollow portion of the coil 120.

[0303] 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 second substrate 802. For example, the position sensor 170 can be conductively connected to the second substrate 802 via a conductive adhesive or solder.

[0304] For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the first surface of the second substrate 802. 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 opposite to the magnet 130, or may overlap with the magnet 130.

[0305] The position sensor 170 can detect the displacement of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction.

[0306] For example, the position sensor 170 may detect a magnetic field or the intensity of a magnetic field of the magnet 130 mounted on the bobbin 110 based on the movement of the bobbin 110 and may output an output signal.

[0307] 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 from 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 supply 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 may be sent to the circuit board 800 or the controller 830.

[0308] 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.

[0309] 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 supply the 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.

[0310] The coil 230 may tilt the OIS moving unit around a first axis (eg, X axis) or a second axis (eg, Y axis) due to interaction with the magnet 310 provided on the housing 210 as a fixed unit, or may rotate the OIS moving unit by a predetermined angle.

[0311] The coil 230 may include a first coil unit 230A that corresponds to, is opposite to, or overlaps with the first magnet unit 310A in the optical axis direction, and a second coil unit 230B that corresponds to, is opposite to, or overlaps with the second magnet unit 310B in the optical axis direction. For example, the coil 230 may not overlap with the magnet 310 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0312] For example, the coil 230 may be disposed lower than the coil 120. For example, the first coil unit 230A may be disposed in the first seating portion 274A of the sensor base 270, and the second coil unit 230B may be disposed in the second seating portion 274B of the sensor base 270.

[0313] 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 a ring shape or a closed curved shape. For example, each of the first coil unit 230A and the second coil unit 230B may have a ring shape wound around a straight line as an axis that is parallel to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the upper surface of the sensor base 270 or the upper surface of the body 270A.

[0314] For example, the first coil unit 230A may have an annular 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 230B may have an annular 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).

[0315] For OIS feedback driving, the camera apparatus 200 may include a position sensor 240. The position sensor 240 may detect displacement or angular displacement of the OIS moving unit 100 due to tilt or rotation of the OIS moving unit.

[0316] For example, the position sensor 240 may include a first sensor 240A and a second sensor 240B. For example, at least a portion of the first sensor 240A may correspond to the first magnet unit 310A in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the first magnet unit 310A, or may overlap with the first magnet unit 310A. For example, the center of the first sensor 240A may overlap with the first magnet unit 310A in the optical axis direction. For example, the first sensor 240A may detect the first magnet unit 310A (or the magnetic field of the first magnet unit 310A). For example, the first sensor 240A may detect the tilt angle of the OIS moving unit 100 relative to the second axis (Y axis).

[0317] At least a portion of the second sensor 240B may correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap the second magnet unit 310B in the optical axis direction. For example, the center of the second sensor 240B may overlap the second magnet unit 310B in the optical axis direction. For example, the second sensor 240B may detect the second magnet unit 310B (or the magnetic field of the second magnet unit 310B). For example, the second sensor 240B may detect the tilt angle of the OIS moving unit 100 relative to the first axis (X axis).

[0318] For example, the first sensor 240A and the second sensor 240B may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the first substrate 801 of the circuit board 800. For example, the first sensor 240A and the second sensor 240B may be conductively connected to the first substrate 801.

[0319] 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.

[0320] 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 first substrate 801, 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 first substrate 801.

[0321] For example, the first substrate 801 or the controller 830 may supply or apply a first driving 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 sent to the first substrate 801 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.

[0322] For example, the first substrate 801 or the controller 830 may supply or apply a second driving 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 sent to the first substrate 801 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.

[0323] 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.

[0324] The camera device 200 may include a magnetic material 82 disposed opposite the coil 120 and the magnet 130. For example, the magnetic material 82 may be disposed on the holder 140 or on the second substrate 802 of the circuit board 800. For example, the magnetic material 82 may be disposed to correspond to, opposite to, or overlap with the magnet 130 in the second direction. Furthermore, for example, the magnetic material 82 may be disposed to correspond to, opposite to, or overlap with the coil 120 in the second direction. For example, the coil 120 may be disposed on a first surface of the second substrate 802 facing the magnet 130, and the magnetic material 82 may be disposed on a second surface of the second substrate 802 opposite to the first surface of the second substrate 802. The magnetic material 82 may be coupled, attached, or fixed to the second substrate 802 via an adhesive.

[0325] Reference Figure 10a and Figure 10b The housing 210 may include a cavity configured to receive the OIS moving unit 100. For example, the housing 210 may have a shape corresponding to the OIS moving unit 100 (e.g., 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."

[0326] 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 corners CA1 to CA4 located between two adjacent side portions (see FIG. Figure 14 ).

[0327] 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 underside 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.

[0328] The shell 210 has a first side portion 71A corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the first side portion 41A of the retaining frame 140, a second side portion 71B corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the second side portion 41B of the retaining frame 140, a third side portion 71C corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the third side portion 41C of the retaining frame 140, and a fourth side portion 71D corresponding to, opposite to or overlapping with the fourth side portion 41D of the retaining frame 140.

[0329] 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.

[0330] For example, each of the first to fourth side portions 71A to 71D of the housing 210 may be disposed in parallel with a corresponding one of the side plates 302 of the cover member 300 .

[0331] The housing 210 may include a step 411 provided on the lower portion of at least one of the side portions 71A to 71D. For example, the step 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 step 411 may be opposite to the side plate 302 of the cover member 300 in the optical axis direction, or may overlap with the side plate 302 of the cover member 300. For example, the step 411 may be coupled to the side plate 302 of the cover member 300 via an adhesive.

[0332] 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 the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. In another embodiment, each of the seating portions 141A and 141B may be a through-hole formed through the lower portion 42 of the housing 210.

[0333] The housing 210 may include a first seating portion 141A on which the first magnet unit 310A is disposed, and a second seating portion 141B on which the second magnet unit 310B is disposed. For example, the first seating portion 141A may be disposed or formed in a first region of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 adjacent to the second side portion 71B of the housing 210. For example, the second seating portion 141B may be disposed or formed in a second region of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 adjacent to the third side portion 71C of the housing 210.

[0334] The magnet 310 may include a first magnet unit 310A and a second magnet unit 310B provided on the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, the magnet 310 may be provided below the coil 230.

[0335] For example, the first magnet unit 310A may be disposed to correspond to, face, or overlap the first coil unit 230A in the optical axis direction. The second magnet unit 310B may be disposed to correspond to, face, or overlap the second coil unit 230B in the optical axis direction.

[0336] For example, the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be arranged so as not to align with each other in the second direction or the third direction. For example, when viewed from above or in the optical axis direction, the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be arranged on the housing 210 so as not to overlap 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 lower portion 42 of the housing 210 so as not to overlap with each other in the second direction or the third direction.

[0337] In another embodiment, the magnet 310 may be disposed on the holder 140, and the coil 230 may be disposed on the housing 210. For example, in Figure 3 In this case, the camera device 200 may include a separate energized portion configured to conductively connect the second coil 230 and the circuit board 800 to each other, such as a circuit board, a circuit member, or a conductive member.

[0338] 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 having an north pole and an south pole separated or arranged in 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 located above its south pole (or north pole).

[0339] For example, a first surface of the magnet 310 facing or opposite to the coil 230 in the optical axis direction may have an S pole (or N pole). A second surface of the magnet 310 opposite to the first surface may have an N pole (or S pole).

[0340] In another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be a two-pole magnet having one north pole and one south pole separated or arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be a four-pole magnet having two north poles and two south poles. In another embodiment, an electromagnetic force may be generated between the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B and the first coil unit 230A and the second coil unit 230B, and the generated electromagnetic force may cause the OIS moving unit to tilt along the X axis or the Y axis.

[0341] The housing 210 may include a receiving portion 49A configured to receive the magnetic material 31. The receiving portion 49A may be provided or formed in the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. The receiving portion 49A may be provided 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 31, such as a quadrilateral shape or a circular shape. For example, the receiving portion 49A of the housing 210 may correspond to the seating portion 93A of the support member 64 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the seating portion 93A of the support member 64, or may overlap with the seating portion 93A of the support member 64.

[0342] Reference Figure 10b The housing 210 may include a seating portion 69 in which at least a portion of the inclined guide member 60 is disposed or received. For example, the seating portion 69 may be a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of the housing 210 or the upper surface of the lower portion 42.

[0343] For example, the seating portion 69 may have a shape corresponding to or identical to the shape of the inclined guide member 60. For example, the seating portion 69 may include a bottom surface 69A having a step formed in the optical axis direction from the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 and a side surface 69B connecting the bottom surface 69A and the upper surface of the lower portion 42 to each other. For example, the bottom surface 69A of the seating portion 69 may be located at a lower position than the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210.

[0344] Reference Figure 4a and Figure 4bSince the housing 210 is provided with a seating portion 69 at an upper surface of the lower portion 42 thereof, into which at least a portion of the inclined guide member 60 is inserted or disposed, the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 may include a partition wall 272 (or a guide portion) disposed around the inclined guide member 60. The inclined guide member 60 may be spaced apart from the partition wall 272 of the housing 210, and the partition wall 272 may be disposed to surround the inclined guide member 60. The partition wall 272 of the housing 210 may prevent the inclined guide member 60 from being separated from or displaced from the housing 210.

[0345] The housing 210 may include a protrusion 49 (or boss) protruding from the lower portion 42. For example, the protrusion 49 may protrude from the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 49 may protrude from the bottom surface 69A of the seating portion 69 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may have a protruding length greater than the depth of the seating portion 69 of the housing 210. For example, the protruding length of the protrusion 49 may be the distance (or shortest distance) from the bottom surface 69A of the seating portion 69 to the lower surface (or lowermost end) of the protrusion 69. Furthermore, the depth of the seating portion 69 may be the distance (or shortest distance) from the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 to the bottom surface 69A of the seating portion 69. In another embodiment, for example, the protruding length of the protrusion 49 may be less than or equal to the depth of the seating portion 69. For example, the protrusion 49 may have a shape corresponding to or consistent with the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60.

[0346] For example, the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may correspond to the opening 60A of the tilt guide member 60 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the opening 60A of the tilt guide member 60, or may overlap with the opening 60A of the tilt guide member 60. For example, at least a portion of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may be disposed in the opening 60A of the tilt guide member 60.

[0347] For example, the receiving portion 49A may be provided or formed in the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. For example, the receiving portion 49A may be a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210.

[0348] For example, the protrusion 49 may be provided between the recesses 55A and 55B of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 49 may be provided between the bosses 66A and 66B of the tilt guide member 60. For example, the protrusion 49 (or the magnetic material 31) may overlap with the bosses 66A and 66B of the tilt guide member 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis (e.g., the third direction).

[0349] For example, at least a portion of the first magnet unit 310A may correspond to the tilted guide member 60 in a direction parallel to the first axis, may be opposite to the tilted guide member 60, or may overlap with the tilted guide member 60. Furthermore, at least a portion of the second magnet unit 310B may correspond to the tilted guide member 60 in a direction parallel to the second axis, may be opposite to the tilted guide member 60, or may overlap with the tilted guide member 60.

[0350] The housing 210 may include a recess 55 in which at least a portion of the boss 66 of the inclined guide member 60 is disposed, or in which at least a portion of the boss 66 is received. The recess 55 of the housing 210 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. For example, the recess 55 may be formed in the bottom surface 69A of the seating portion 69 of the housing 210. For example, the recess 55 may be recessed from the bottom surface 69A of the seating portion 69 of the housing 210. The number of recesses 55 of the housing 210 may be equal to the number of bosses 66 of the inclined guide member 60.

[0351] 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 may intersect or be perpendicular to the direction in which the two recesses 29A and 29B of the sensor base 270 are spaced apart from each other. For example, the receiving portion 49A may be disposed between the two recesses 55A and 55B of the housing 210.

[0352] The recess 55 of the housing 210 may contact the boss 66 of the inclined guide member 60 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.

[0353] 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.

[0354] 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 that protrudes 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.

[0355] Reference Figure 10a The recess 16A of the protrusion 215 may be provided with coupling recesses 215A and 215B for inserting, coupling, or securing the movement inhibiting portion 80. For example, the coupling recesses 215A and 215B may be formed in two facing inner surfaces of the recess 16A of the protrusion 215. For example, the coupling recesses 215A and 215B may extend in the direction of the optical axis. For example, to facilitate insertion or coupling of the movement inhibiting 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.

[0356] The maximum length of the protrusion 215 in the optical axis direction may be smaller than the maximum length in the optical axis direction of the housing 210. In this configuration, a space for the circuit board 800 to extend outward can be easily ensured, and a compact camera apparatus can be realized.

[0357] The camera apparatus 200 may include a movement restraining portion 80 coupled to at least a portion of the housing 210. The movement restraining portion 80 may restrain movement or motion of at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804 to restrain deformation of the shape of at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804.

[0358] 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.

[0359] 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.

[0360] For example, the fourth substrate 804 may include a first bent portion 804D connecting the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B. Furthermore, the fourth substrate 804 may include a second bent portion 804E connecting the second portion 804B and the third portion 804C. The first bent portion 804D and the second bent 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 bent portion 804D and the second bent 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.

[0361] The first bent portion 804D and the second bent portion 804E can prevent an increase in the length of the camera apparatus 200 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In addition, since the first bent portion 804D and the second bent portion 804E are located between the upper surface of the camera apparatus 200 (e.g., the upper surface of the cover member 300) and the lower surface of the camera apparatus 200 (e.g., the lower surface of the housing 210), an increase in the length of the camera apparatus 200 in the optical axis direction can be prevented, thereby achieving miniaturization of the camera apparatus.

[0362] 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 zigzag or meandering shape. For example, the third portion 804C may include at least one bend or curved region. For example, the bend or curved region of the third portion 804C may be bent in a second direction or a third direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Alternatively, the bend or curved 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.

[0363] 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.

[0364] At least a portion of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 may be disposed within the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. At least a portion of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 may be disposed within 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 may be disposed within the recess 16A of the protrusion 215. The third portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 may be located outside the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the third portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 may be located higher than the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. The lower surface of the third portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 may be located higher than the upper surface of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210.

[0365] Reference Figure 7a The sensor base 270 may include a recess 273 formed in the portion where the fourth substrate 804 and the first substrate 801 are joined or connected to each other, for example, at a location corresponding to the first portion 804A of the fourth substrate 804. The recess 273 may be disposed adjacent to or abutting the outer surface of the fourth side portion 71D of the sensor base 270, on which the fourth substrate 804 is disposed. The recess 273 may be used to prevent the first portion 804A of the fourth substrate 804 from being damaged by friction with the sensor base 270.

[0366] The connector 805 can be coupled or connected to another external connector of the camera device 200 or to an external device. The connector 805 connected to the other external connector can 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 bending or curved area, it can flexibly support the camera device 200 or the OIS moving unit 100 and buffer external impact. That is, the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 can be used as a spring configured to buffer impact. In addition, since the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 can be used to flexibly support the OIS moving unit, the driving power or driving force required to perform OIS can be reduced.

[0367] The camera apparatus 200 may include a reinforcing member 70 disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804. The reinforcing 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 reinforcing 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.

[0368] Reference Figure 11 For example, the reinforcement member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the lower surfaces of the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804. For example, the reinforcement 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.

[0369] For example, the area of ​​the second region 70B may be larger than the area of ​​the first region 70A. In another embodiment, the two may be equal, or the area of ​​the former 70B may be smaller than the area of ​​the latter 70A.

[0370] 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.

[0371] 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 the upper surface of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804.

[0372] 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 a lower surface (or upper surface) of the second portion 804B, and the second region of the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on a lower surface (or upper surface) of the third portion 804C.

[0373] The reinforcing member 70 can prevent the fourth substrate 804 from being damaged, deformed, or broken due to impact or external force. Furthermore, the reinforcing member 70 can be used to suppress deformation and restoration of the shape of the fourth substrate 804 when the fourth substrate 804 is subjected to force due to the tilting of the OIS moving unit 100. For example, the reinforcing member 70 can include at least one of a metal material and an injection molding material.

[0374] 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.

[0375] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 10a and Figure 10b , the movement restraining portion 80 may be coupled to the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the movement restraining portion 80 may be coupled to the coupling recesses 215A and 215B of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210.

[0376] Reference Figure 3 At least a portion of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 may be disposed between the movement restraining portion 80 and the inner surface of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, at least a portion of the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed between the movement restraining portion 80 and the inner surface of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210.

[0377] The movement restraining 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 movement restraining portion 80 can 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 movement restraining portion 80 can be used to maintain the shape of the bent portions 804D and 804E of the fourth substrate 804, which is a flexible substrate. For example, the movement restraining portion 80 can be formed by injection molding a non-magnetic material or resin. In another embodiment, the movement restraining portion 80 can contact at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804 of the circuit board 800.

[0378] The movement or motion of at least a portion of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 disposed in the recess 16A of the protrusion 215 can be restricted by the movement restraining portion 80, thereby restraining or preventing the second portion 804B from moving out of the recess 16A of the protrusion 215. This can restrain or prevent the OIS moving unit from being affected by the restoring force of the fourth substrate 804 when performing OIS, thereby enabling accurate OIS and improving the reliability of OIS operation. The movement restraining portion 80 can alternatively be referred to as a "clamp."

[0379] The cover member 300 can form a receiving space with the housing 210, and the OIS moving 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.

[0380] 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 302 of the cover member 300 can be polygonal (e.g., a quadrilateral or an octagon) or circular. The upper plate 302 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 302 of the cover member 300 in the direction of the optical axis. 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 molded material, such as a resin or a metal material.

[0381] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2a , the cover member 300 may include an opening 304 that is provided or formed in the side plate 302 to avoid spatial interference with the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 216 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.

[0382] The cover member 300 may include a protrusion 305 that is disposed above the opening 304 and protrudes from the side plate 302. For example, 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 above the recess 16A of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 305 may be disposed above the movement inhibiting portion 80. For example, the protrusion 305 may overlap with the movement inhibiting portion 80 in the optical axis direction. Furthermore, 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 inhibit or prevent separation of the movement inhibiting portion 80 and can protect the movement inhibiting portion 80 and the fourth substrate 804 from impact.

[0383] The cover member 300 may include a boss (not shown) protruding from the upper plate 301. In this case, the boss of the cover member 300 may protrude from the inner surface of the upper plate 301 of the cover member 300 toward the bobbin 110 or the ball member 21. For example, the boss of the cover member 300 may be opposite to the receiving portion 116 of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction or may overlap with the receiving portion 116 of the bobbin 110. At least a portion of the boss of the cover member 300 may be inserted into or disposed in the receiving portion 116 of the bobbin 110. The boss of the cover member 300 may be disposed on the ball member 21. For example, the cover member 300 may include a first boss (not shown) that corresponds to, corresponds to, or overlaps with the first ball member 21A or the first receiving portion 116A of the bobbin 110. For example, the cover member 300 may include a second boss (not shown) that corresponds to, corresponds to, or overlaps with the second ball member 21B or the second receiving portion 116B of the bobbin 110. For example, the boss of cover member 300 may include a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of upper plate 301 of cover member 330. In another embodiment, the boss of cover member 300 may not include a recessed portion. Since cover member 300 is provided with the boss, this embodiment can prevent ball member 21 from separating from receiving portion 116 of spool 110. In addition, the boss of cover member 300 can serve as a stopper configured to prevent further upward movement of spool 110 within a limited range.

[0384] Next, the supporting unit will be described.

[0385] The support unit may be disposed between the fixed unit and the movable unit. For example, the support unit may be disposed between the sensor base 270 and the housing 210. The support unit may support the sensor base 270 relative to the housing 210. The support unit may include a tilt guide member 60 disposed between the fixed unit and the OIS movable unit. For example, the tilt guide member 60 may be disposed between the sensor base 270 and the housing 210.

[0386] The inclined guide member 60 may alternatively be referred to as a "moving plate," "driving plate," "driving board," "moving board," "mover," "mover plate," "drive board," "plate," "rotating board," "inclined plate," "movement plate," or "support plate."

[0387] The tilt guide member 60 may be tiltable around a first axis or a second axis or may be rotatable at a predetermined angle. For example, the tilt guide member 60 may include a first axis formed on a first surface opposite to the OIS moving unit and a second axis formed on a second surface opposite to the fixing unit (e.g., the housing 210).

[0388] For example, the tilt guide member 60 may be provided 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 tilt guide member 60 may be provided in the seating portion 69 of the housing 210. Since the tilt guide member 60 is provided in the seating portion 69 of the housing 210, the length or height of the camera apparatus 200 in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0389] Reference Figure 4b 、 Figure 9a and Figure 12 The tilt guide member 60 may include a body or main body. The body of the tilt guide member 60 may be in the form of a plate. For example, the length of the tilt guide member 60 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the optical axis (e.g., in a transverse direction or a longitudinal direction) may be greater than the length of the tilt guide member 60 in the direction of the optical axis.

[0390] Reference Figure 9a and Figure 9b The tilt guide member 60 may include: at least one first guide member, which is disposed on a first surface (or upper surface) opposite to the OIS moving unit (or moving module (e.g., sensor base 270)); and at least one second guide member, which is disposed on a second surface (or lower surface) opposite to the fixing unit (e.g., housing 210).

[0391] For example, the first axis may be formed by a first guide member, and the second axis may be formed by a second guide member. For example, the first guide member may include a plurality of first guide members spaced apart in a direction parallel to the first axis. The second guide member may include a plurality of second guide members spaced apart in a direction parallel to the second axis. For example, the first axis may be formed by a plurality of first guide members, and the second axis may be formed by a plurality of second guide members.

[0392] For example, the first guide member may include a first boss 65. For example, the second guide member may include a second boss 66.

[0393] For example, the first boss 65 may be coupled to the sensor base 270 or may be in contact with the sensor base 270. The second boss 66 may be coupled to the housing 210 or may be in contact with the housing 210.

[0394] The first boss 65 may be provided on the first surface 6A (e.g., the upper surface) of the inclined guide member 60, and the second boss 66 may be provided on the second surface 6B (or the lower surface) opposite to the first side 6A of the inclined guide member 60. For example, the first boss 65 may protrude from the first surface 6A (e.g., the upper surface) of the inclined guide member 60, and the second boss 66 may protrude from the second surface 6B (e.g., the lower surface) of the inclined guide member 60.

[0395] The first boss 65 may alternatively be referred to as an "upper boss (or front boss)" or a "first protrusion," and the second boss 66 may alternatively be referred to as a "lower boss (or rear boss)" or a "second protrusion." The number of each of the first boss 65 and the second boss 66 may be one, two, or three or more.

[0396] At least a portion of the first boss 65 may be disposed in the recess 29 of the sensor base 270. The first boss 65 may include at least two bosses 65A and 65B. For example, the at least two bosses 65A and 65B may be spaced apart from each other in the second direction. Each of the two bosses 65A and 65B may be inserted into and disposed in a corresponding one of the first recess 29A and the second recess 29B of the sensor base 270.

[0397] At least a portion of the second boss 66 may be disposed in the recess 55 of the housing 210 .

[0398] The second boss 66 may include at least two bosses 66A and 66B. For example, the two bosses 66A and 66B may be spaced apart from each other in the third direction. Each of the two bosses 66A and 66B may be inserted into and disposed in a corresponding one of the first recess 55A and the second recess 55B of the housing 210.

[0399] In another embodiment, the two bosses 65A and 65B can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the third direction, the first recess 29A and the second recess 29B of the sensor base 270 can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the third direction, the two bosses 66A and 66B can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the second direction, and the first recess 55A and the second recess 55B of the housing 210 can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the second direction.

[0400] For example, each of the first boss 65 and the second boss 66 may have a curved shape, a hemispherical shape, a dome shape, or a polyhedron shape, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the shape of the first boss 65 when viewed from the front or above and the shape of the second boss 66 when viewed from the rear or below may be circular, elliptical, or polygonal.

[0401] The tilt guide member 60 may include an opening 60A that corresponds to, is opposite to, or overlaps with the magnetic material 31 and / or the magnetic material 33. For example, the opening 60A may correspond to the protrusion 49 of the housing 210, may be opposite to the protrusion 49 of the housing 210, or may overlap with the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. The weight of the tilt guide member 60 can be reduced by the opening 60A, which can result in a lighter camera apparatus 200.

[0402] For example, the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 may be provided at a position corresponding to the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 to avoid spatial interference with the protrusion 49. In addition, the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 may be formed to avoid spatial interference with the magnetic material 31 and the protrusion 49 of the housing 210.

[0403] For example, the opening 60A of the tilt guide member 60 may be a through hole. For example, the opening 60A may be formed through the tilt guide member 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 tilt guide member 60 may include a shape corresponding to the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. For example, the opening 60A may include a circular shape, an elliptical shape, and a polygonal shape, such as a quadrilateral shape.

[0404] For example, the lateral length of the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 may be greater than the lateral length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. In another embodiment, the lateral length of the opening 60A may be equal to the lateral length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. The longitudinal length of the opening 60A may be greater than the longitudinal length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. In another embodiment, the longitudinal length of the opening 60A may be equal to the longitudinal length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210.

[0405] At least a portion of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may be disposed within the opening 60A of the tilt guide member 60. For example, the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may overlap with the opening 60A of the tilt guide member 60 in the optical axis direction. Furthermore, for example, the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may overlap with the tilt guide member 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. This can reduce the length or height of the camera apparatus 200 in the optical axis direction.

[0406] For example, at least a portion of the opening 60A may be provided between two bosses 65A and 65B in the first boss 65 of the inclined guide member 60. Furthermore, at least a portion of the opening 60A may be provided between bosses 66A and 66B in the second boss 66 of the inclined guide member 60.

[0407] For example, the tilt guide member 60 may be made of an injection molded material. For example, the tilt guide member 60 may be made of plastic, resin, or ceramic. In another embodiment, the tilt guide member 60 may include metal, such as SUS. Furthermore, the tilt guide member 60 may be made of a non-magnetic material. In another embodiment, the tilt guide member 60 may be made of a magnetic material.

[0408] The bosses 65A and 65B of the first boss 65 and the bosses 66A and 66B of the second boss 66 can be arranged side by side in directions intersecting or perpendicular to each other. The first boss 65 of the tilt guide member 60 can rotate, pivot, or tilt the OIS moving unit in either the second direction or the third direction. The second boss 66 of the tilt guide member 60 can rotate, pivot, or tilt the OIS moving unit in the other of the second direction and the third direction.

[0409] Lubricant may be provided on the first boss 66 of the inclined guide member 60 and in the recess 29 of the sensor base 270 , or in the second boss 66 of the inclined guide member 60 and in the recess 55 of the housing 210 to reduce friction and protect the inclined guide member 60 .

[0410] The first boss 65 of the tilt guide member 60 can slide in the recess 29 of the sensor base 270, and the second boss 66 can slide in the recess 55 of the housing 210. Therefore, the friction between the tilt guide member 60 and the sensor base 270 and / or the friction between the tilt guide member 60 and the housing 210 can be reduced, and the current consumption or power consumption required for the OIS operation can be reduced.

[0411] Reference Figure 4d and Figure 12 , the ball member 21 may not overlap with the inclined guide member 60 in the optical axis direction. Figure 4c As shown, the ball member 21 may not overlap with the inclined guide member 60 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0412] For example, the direction in which the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B are spaced apart from each other may intersect with the direction in which the bosses 65A and 65B of the inclined guide member 60 are spaced apart from each other, or may be perpendicular to the direction in which the bosses 65A and 65B of the inclined guide member 60 are spaced apart from each other. In another embodiment, the direction in which the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B are spaced apart from each other and the direction in which the bosses 65A and 65B of the inclined guide member 60 are spaced apart from each other may be parallel to each other.

[0413] For example, the direction in which the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B are spaced apart from each other may be parallel to the direction in which the bosses 66A and 66B of the inclined guide member 60 are spaced apart from each other, or may intersect with the direction in which the bosses 66A and 66B of the inclined guide member 60 are spaced apart from each other. In another embodiment, the direction in which the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B are spaced apart from each other and the direction in which the bosses 66A and 66B of the inclined guide member 60 are spaced apart from each other may be perpendicular to each other.

[0414] For example, when viewed from above, the distance between the bosses 65A and 65B of the inclined guide member 60 may be smaller than the distance between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B. In another embodiment, the distance between the bosses 65A and 65B of the inclined guide member 60 may be equal to or greater than the distance between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B.

[0415] For example, when viewed from above, the distance between the boss 66A and the boss 66B of the inclined guide member 60 may be smaller than the distance between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B. In another embodiment, the distance between the boss 66A and the boss 66B of the inclined guide member 60 may be equal to or greater than the distance between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B.

[0416] In another embodiment, at least one of the first and second bosses 65 and 66 of the inclined guide member 60 may be omitted, and a rolling member or a ball member may be provided instead of the omitted boss.

[0417] Figure 9c is a front perspective view of an inclined guide member 60 - 1 according to another embodiment, and Figure 9d yes Figure 9c 1. A rear perspective view of the inclined guide member 60-1.

[0418] Reference Figure 9c and Figure 9d , the inclined guide member 60-1 may include a first recess 75 formed in a first surface (or upper surface) of the inclined guide member 60 and a second recess 76 formed in a second surface (or lower surface) of the inclined guide member 60-1. For example, the first recess 75 may be provided on a first surface of the body of the inclined guide member 60-1, and the second recess 76 may be provided on a second surface of the body of the inclined guide member 60-1.

[0419] The tilt guide member 60-1 may include at least one first guide member 65A1 and 65B1 disposed between the movable unit and the tilt guide member 60-1, and at least one second guide member 66A1 and 66A2 disposed between the fixed unit and the tilt guide member 60-1. A plurality of first and second guide members may be provided. The number of first recesses 75 may be equal to the number of first guide members, and the number of second recesses 76 may be equal to the number of second guide members.

[0420] For example, first guide members 65A1 and 65B1 may be disposed between recess 29 of sensor base 270 and first recess 75 of inclined guide member 60. Second guide members 66A1 and 66B1 may be disposed between recess 55 of housing 210 and second recess 76 of inclined guide member 60-1.

[0421] Each of the first guide members 65A1 , 66A1 and the second guide members 65B1 , 66A2 may be a ball member, a rolling member, or a sliding member.

[0422] For example, the first recess 75 of the tilt guide member 60-1 may include two first recesses 75A and 75B, and the second recess 76 of the tilt guide member 60-1 may include two second recesses 76A and 76B. The first guide member may include two ball members 65A1 and 65B1, and the second guide member may include two ball members 66A1 and 66B1. The description of the shape of the recess 29 of the holder 260 or the recess 55 of the housing 210 can be applied or similarly applied to the shapes of the first recess 75 and the second recess 76 of the tilt guide member 60-1.

[0423] The first guide members 75A and 75B may form a first axis (eg, an X-axis), and the second guide members 76A and 76B may form a second axis (eg, a Y-axis).

[0424] Figure 9a and Figure 9b The inclined guide member 60 may include a plate-shaped body and boss-shaped guide members 65 and 66. In addition, Figure 9c and Figure 9d The inclined guide member 60 - 1 may include a plate-shaped body and spherical guide members 65A1 , 65B1 , 66A1 , and 66B1 .

[0425] However, according to another embodiment, the tilt guide member may include only the first and second guide members, while omitting the main body. For example, in another embodiment, the first and second guide members may be the ball members 65A1, 65B1, 66A1, and 66B1. In this case, the sensor base 270 may have an additional recess corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping with the first guide members 65A1 and 65B1, and the housing 210 may have an additional recess corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping with the second guide members 66A1 and 66B1.

[0426] In another embodiment, the first guide member and the second guide member may be rolling members, sliding members (eg, shafts), or rotating members.

[0427] The supporting unit may include a magnetic material 31 provided on the fixing unit and a magnetic material 33 provided on the OIS moving unit.

[0428] For example, the support unit may further include a support member 64. For example, the support member 64 may be coupled to the OIS moving unit 100. For example, the support member 64 may be coupled to the sensor base 270. In another embodiment, the support member 64 may be coupled to the holder 140 or the circuit board 800. For example, the magnetic material 33 may be provided on the support member 64, and the magnetic material 31 may be provided on the housing 210.

[0429] A repulsive force may act between the magnetic material 31 and the magnetic material 33. Each of the magnetic materials 31 and 33 may be a material having magnetic properties. For example, each of the magnetic materials 31 and 33 may be a metal material having magnetic properties. Alternatively, for example, each of the magnetic materials 31 and 33 may be a magnetized metal material. Alternatively, for example, each of the magnetic materials 31 and 33 may be a magnet. For example, each of the magnetic materials 31 and 33 may alternatively be referred to as a "holding magnet." Alternatively, for example, the magnetic materials 31 and 33 may alternatively be referred to as a "repelling magnet." The tilt guide member 60 may be in close contact or in simple contact with the OIS moving unit and the fixed unit due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic material 31 and the magnetic material 33. In other words, the OIS moving unit (or moving module (e.g., sensor base 270)) and the fixed unit (e.g., housing 210) may be pulled toward each other due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic material 31 and the magnetic material 33.

[0430] For example, the magnetic material 31 may be disposed in or coupled to the recess 49A of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. At least a portion of the magnetic material 31 may be disposed in the opening 60A of the tilted guide member 60. For example, the magnetic material 31 may be opposite the opening 60A of the tilted guide member 60 in the direction of the optical axis, or may overlap with the opening 60A of the tilted guide member 60. For example, the magnetic material 31 may not overlap with the tilted guide member 60 in the direction of the optical axis. Furthermore, for example, at least a portion of the magnetic material 31 may overlap with the tilted guide member 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0431] The magnetic material 31 may correspond to the magnetic material 33 in the optical axis direction, may be opposite to the magnetic material 33, or may overlap with the magnetic material 33. The magnetic material 31 may be a two-pole magnet including an N pole and an S pole. For example, the magnetic material 31 may be a two-pole magnet having an N pole and an S pole separated or arranged in the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, the magnetic material 31 may be a two-pole magnet having an N pole and an S pole separated or arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, the magnetic material 31 may be a quadrupole magnet including two N poles and two S poles.

[0432] The magnetic material 33 may be provided below the magnetic material 31. The magnetic material 33 may be provided on the OIS moving unit 100. For example, the magnetic material 33 may be provided in the seating portion 93A of the support member 64. For example, the magnetic material 33 may be coupled to the seating portion 93A of the support member 64. For example, the magnetic material 33 may be coupled to, attached to, or fixed to the seating portion 93A of the support member 64 using an adhesive.

[0433] The magnetic material 33 may overlap with the opening 60A of the tilted guide member 60 in the optical axis direction. The magnetic material 33 may not overlap with the tilted guide member 60 in the optical axis direction. The magnetic material 33 may not overlap with the tilted guide member 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In another embodiment, at least a portion of the magnetic material 33 may overlap with the tilted guide member 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0434] When viewed from above, the area of ​​the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 may be larger than the area of ​​the upper surface (or lower surface) of the magnetic material 31. In addition, when viewed from above, the area of ​​the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 may be larger than the area of ​​the upper surface (or lower surface) of the magnetic material 33.

[0435] For example, a repulsive force may act between the magnetic material 33 and the magnetic material 31 in the optical axis direction (or the first direction). For example, the magnetic material 33 and the magnetic material 31 may be arranged so that the surfaces facing each other or opposite to each other in the optical axis direction have opposite polarities. For example, the north pole (or south pole) of the magnetic material 33 and the north pole (or south pole) of the magnetic material 31 may face each other or opposite to each other in the optical axis direction.

[0436] For example, the first surface of the magnetic material 33 and the first surface of the magnetic material 31 may face each other, and the first surface of the magnetic material 33 and the first surface of the magnetic material 31 may have the same polarity.

[0437] The inclined guide member 60 can be in close contact with the OIS moving unit and the fixed unit due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic material 33 and the magnetic material 31. The inclined guide member 60 can be pressed against the sensor base 270 due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic material 33 and the magnetic material 31. The inclined guide member 60 can be pressed against the housing 210 due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic material 33 and the magnetic material 31.

[0438] The sensor base 270 and the housing 210 may press the inclined guide member 60 due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic material 33 and the magnetic material 31. The first and second bosses 65 and 66 of the inclined guide member 60 may be in close contact with the sensor base 270 and / or the housing 210.

[0439] The inclined guide member 60 may stably support the OIS moving unit with respect to the fixed unit due to the repulsive force between the magnetic material 33 and the magnetic material 31 , whereby a stable OIS operation may be performed.

[0440] In addition, since at least a portion of the magnetic material 31 is disposed in the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60, the distance between the magnetic material 31 and the magnetic material 33 can be reduced, which can increase the repulsive force between the magnetic material 31 and the magnetic material 33, can stably support the OIS moving unit relative to the fixed unit, and can perform stable OIS operation.

[0441] In addition, since the magnetic material 31 is arranged on the central area of ​​the lower portion 42 of the shell 210 and the magnetic material 33 is arranged at the center of the supporting member 64, the repulsive force between the magnetic material 31 and the magnetic material 33 can be concentrated on the center of the sensor base 270 and the center of the shell 210, which can efficiently and stably support the OIS mobile unit.

[0442] In another embodiment, the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may be omitted, and the magnetic material 31 may be disposed on the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. In this case, the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 may have a seating portion, such as a recess, configured to allow the magnetic material 31 to be disposed therein.

[0443] In another embodiment, the tilt guide member 60 may be omitted, and the support unit may include a rolling member, such as a ball member, disposed between the sensor base 270 and the housing 210. In this case, the rolling member may include two first ball members disposed in a direction parallel to the first axis and two second ball members disposed in a direction parallel to the second axis, and the OIS moving unit may be tilted or rotated at a predetermined angle around the first ball members and may be tilted or rotated at a predetermined angle around the second ball members, thereby performing a hand-shake compensation operation.

[0444] Figure 13 is a perspective view of the support member 64 and the magnetic material 33, Figure 14 is a bottom perspective view of the housing 210, Figure 15 is a bottom perspective view of the housing 210 and the support member 64, Figure 16 is a coupled view of the sensor base 270 and the support member 64, and Figure 17 It is a cross-sectional perspective view of the camera apparatus 200 .

[0445] Reference Figures 13 to 17 , the support member 64 may be disposed below the housing 210 and may be coupled to the sensor base 270 through at least a portion of the housing 210. For example, the support member 64 may be coupled to the lower surface of the sensor base 270. The support member 64 may not be coupled to a fixing unit such as the housing 210, or may not be fixed to the housing 210.

[0446] For example, the support member 64 may be made of an injection molded material, a plastic, or a resin material, or, for example, the support member 64 may be made of a metal material.

[0447] The housing 210 may include an opening 18 configured to allow at least a portion of the support member 64 to pass therethrough. The opening 18 may be a through-hole formed through the housing 210 in the direction of the optical axis. For example, the opening 18 may be formed through the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, the opening 18 may include a first opening 18A and a second opening 18B. For example, the first opening 18A and the second opening 18B may be spaced apart from each other and may be positioned to face each other in a diagonal direction of the lower surface of the housing 210, or may be positioned to face each other in a diagonal direction.

[0448] For example, the first opening 18A may be disposed adjacent to a first corner CA1 of the housing 210, and the second opening 18B may be disposed adjacent to a second corner CA2 of the housing 210, which is diagonally opposite to the first corner CA1 of the housing 210. In another embodiment, the first opening and the second opening may be disposed adjacent to the center of a side portion of the housing 210.

[0449] The support member 64 may include a body 93 on which the magnetic material 33 is disposed and an extension 96 extending from the body 93. For example, the body 93 may be disposed below the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. The body 93 may have a plate shape. For example, the shortest length of the body 93 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis may be greater than the longest length of the body 93 in the direction of the optical axis.

[0450] At least a portion of the extension 96 can be coupled to the sensor base 270 through a portion of the housing 210. For example, at least a portion of the extension 96 can pass through the opening 18 of the housing 210.

[0451] Extension 96 may include a first extension 94 that extends from one side of body 93 and passes through a portion of housing 210 to be coupled to sensor base 270, and a second extension 95 that extends from the other side of body 93 and passes through another portion of housing 210 to be coupled to sensor base 270. For example, first extension 94 may pass through first opening 18A of housing 210, and second extension 95 may pass through second opening 18B of housing 210.

[0452] The first extension portion 94 may include at least one bent portion or curved region. In addition, the second extension portion 95 may include at least one bent portion or curved region.

[0453] The extension portion 96 may include coupling portions 94A and 95A (or "first portion") coupled to the housing 210, and connecting portions 94B and 95B (or "second portion") connecting the coupling portions 94A and 95A to the body 93. For example, the connecting portions 94B and 95B may be bent or curved from the body 93, and the coupling portions 94A and 95A may be bent or curved from the connecting portions 94B and 95B. For example, the connecting portions 94B and 95B may pass through the opening 18 of the housing 210.

[0454] To avoid spatial interference with the first and second magnet units 310A and 310B, portions of the support member 64 extending through the housing 210 , such as the extension 96 , may not overlap with the first and second magnet units 310A and 310B in the optical axis direction.

For example, the first extension 94 may include a first through-opening 8A, and the second extension 95 may include a second through-opening. For example, the first through-opening 8A may be formed in the first connecting portion 94A, and the second through-opening 8B may be formed in the second connecting portion 95A.

[0456] For example, bosses 219A and 219B may be formed on the lower surface of the sensor base 270 to correspond to the bosses 219A and 219B of the support member 64 .

[0457] The sensor base 270 may include a protrusion 217 configured to guide coupling with the support member 64. The protrusion 217 may alternatively be referred to as a "guide portion." For example, the protrusion 217 may protrude from the lower surface of the sensor base 270. The protrusion 217 may be configured to wrap around at least a portion of each of the bosses 219A and 219B and / or at least a portion of the extension 96 of the support member 64.

The protrusion 217 may have a greater protrusion length than each of the bosses 219A and 219B based on the lower surface of the housing 210. In another embodiment, the protrusion length of the protrusion 217 may be equal to or less than the protrusion length of each of the bosses 219A and 219B. For example, the bosses 219A and 219B and the through-openings 8A and 8B may be coupled to each other via an adhesive.

The seating portion 93A may be disposed or formed on the body 93. For example, the seating portion 93A may include at least one boss protruding from the upper surface of the body 93, and the at least one boss may support the side surface of the magnetic material 83. For example, the seating portion 93A may include a plurality of bosses protruding from the body 93, and the magnetic material 33 may be disposed within the plurality of bosses.

For example, the receiving portion 39 may have a shape that is consistent with or corresponds to the shape of the support member 64. The opening 18 may be formed through the bottom surface 39A of the receiving portion 39. For example, the depth of the receiving portion 39 may be greater than the length of the support member 64 in the optical axis direction. The support member 64 may be disposed in the receiving portion 39 and may not protrude from the receiving portion 39. In another embodiment, the depth of the receiving portion 39 may be less than or equal to the length of the support member 64 in the optical axis direction.

In another embodiment, the upper surface of the magnetic material 33 may be located lower than or flush with the lowest point of the boss 66 of the inclined guide member 60.

[0481] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 a. A first length L1 of the first magnet unit 310A in the second direction (X-axis direction) may be smaller than a second length L2 of the first magnet unit 310A in the third direction (Y-axis direction).

[0482] For example, the first length L1 may be less than the length M2 of the inclined guide member 60 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 inclined guide member 60 in the second direction. For example, M1 may be the shortest distance in the second direction between the outer surface of the inclined guide member 60 and the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60. In another embodiment, L1 may be equal to or less than M1.

[0483] For example, the first length L1 may be less than the length M5 of the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 in the second direction. Furthermore, for example, the first length L1 may be less than the length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 in the second direction. In another embodiment, the first length L1 may be greater than or equal to the length of the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 in the second direction.

[0484] For example, the second length L2 may be less than the length M4 of the inclined guide member 60 in the third direction. In another embodiment, the second length L2 may be greater than or equal to the length of the inclined guide member 60 in the third direction.

[0485] For example, the second length L2 may be greater than the length M6 of the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 in the third direction. For example, the second length L2 may be greater than the length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 in the third direction. In another embodiment, the second length L2 may be less than or equal to the length M6 of the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 in the third direction.

[0486] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 a. A third length L3 of the second magnet unit 310B in the third direction (Y-axis direction) may be smaller than a fourth length L4 of the second magnet unit 310B in the second direction (X-axis direction).

[0487] For example, the third length L3 may be less than the length M4 of the inclined guide member 60 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 inclined guide member 60 in the third direction. For example, M3 may be the shortest distance between the outer surface of the inclined guide member 60 and the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 in the third direction. In another embodiment, L3 may be equal to or less than M3.

[0488] For example, the third length L3 may be less than the length M6 of the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 in the third direction. Furthermore, for example, the third length L3 may be less than the length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 in the third direction. In another embodiment, the third length L3 may be greater than or equal to the length of the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 in the third direction.

[0489] For example, the fourth length L4 may be less than the length M2 of the inclined guide member 60 in the second direction. In another embodiment, the fourth length L4 may be greater than or equal to the length of the inclined guide member 60 in the second direction.

[0490] For example, the fourth length L4 may be greater than the length M5 of the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 in the second direction. For example, the fourth length L4 may be greater than the length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 in the second direction. In another embodiment, the fourth length L4 may be less than or equal to the length of the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60 in the second direction.

[0491] 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.

[0492] For example, the upper surface of the magnet 310 may be located lower than the upper surface of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. This is to ensure that there is enough space to avoid spatial interference between the magnet 310 and the lower surface of the sensor base.

[0493] In another embodiment, the upper surface of the magnet 310 may be located higher than the upper surface of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. In another embodiment, the upper surface of the magnet 310 and the upper surface of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may be flush with each other.

[0494] For example, the upper surface of the magnet 310 may be located lower than the highest point of the boss 65 of the inclined guide member 60 .

[0495] When viewed from above or in the optical axis direction, the bosses 65A and 65B, the magnet 31, and the first magnet unit 310A may overlap with each other in the second direction. When viewed from above or in the optical axis direction, the bosses 66A and 66B, the magnet 31, and the second magnet unit 310B may overlap with each other in the third direction.

[0496] Figure 18a is a view showing electromagnetic forces F1 and F2 generated due to the interaction between the magnet units 310A and 310B and the coil units 230A and 230B and the movement of the tilt guide member 60, and Figure 18b Shows that due to Figure 18a The movement of the OIS moving unit 100 is generated by the electromagnetic force. Figure 18a The electromagnetic force when each of the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B is a two-pole magnet having an N pole and an S pole is shown.

[0497] Will refer to Figure 18a and Figure 18b The movement of the OIS moving unit is described by the OIS driving unit. The "OIS driving unit" may be referred to as a driving unit. The OIS driving unit may tilt the OIS moving unit (e.g., the moving module) relative to the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 210). For example, the OIS driving unit may include a coil 230 and a magnet 310. In addition, the OIS driving unit may include a position sensor 240.

[0498] 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 in an optical axis direction such as an upward direction or a downward direction.

[0499] The OIS movable unit can be tilted about a second axis (e.g., the Y axis) (or the second boss 66) by the first electromagnetic force F1. For example, the OIS movable unit can be tilted about the second axis by the first electromagnetic force F1. Here, the second axis (Y axis) tilt means that the OIS movable unit is tilted about the second axis (Y axis) or the OIS movable unit is rotated to the left and right by a predetermined angle about the second axis (Y axis).

[0500] For example, the tilt guide member 60 can be tilted about the second axis (eg, Y axis) (or the bosses 66A and 66B in the second bosses 66) by the first electromagnetic force F1.

[0501] Reference Figure 4bIn order to tilt the OIS moving unit about the second axis (or the second boss 66 of the tilt guide member 60), a gap or space must exist between the tilt guide member 60 and the OIS moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) via the first boss 65 of the tilt guide member 60. For example, a gap or space may exist between the upper surface 6A of the tilt guide member 60 and the OIS moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) through which the tilt guide member 60 can move. For example, the upper surface 6A of the tilt guide member 60 may be spaced apart from the OIS moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) or the lower surface of the sensor base 270.

[0502] 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.

[0503] The OIS moving unit can be tilted around a first axis (e.g., the X-axis) (or the ball member 62) by the second electromagnetic force F2. For example, the OIS moving unit can be tilted around the first axis by the second electromagnetic force F2. Here, tilting around the first axis (X-axis) means that the OIS moving unit is tilted around the first axis (X-axis) or the OIS moving unit is rotated to the left and right by a predetermined angle around the first axis (X-axis).

[0504] For example, the tilt guide member 60 can be tilted about the first axis (eg, X axis) (or the ball member 62) by the second electromagnetic force F2. For example, the tilt guide member 60 can be tilted about the first axis by the second electromagnetic force F2.

[0505] Reference Figure 4a In order to tilt the OIS moving unit about the first axis (or the ball member 62 ), a gap or space must exist between the tilt guide member 60 and the fixing unit (eg, the housing 210 ) via the second boss 66 of the tilt guide member 60 .

[0506] For example, there may be a gap or space between the lower surface 6B of the inclined guide member 60 and the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 210) through which the inclined guide member 60 can move. For example, the lower surface 6B of the inclined guide member 60 may be spaced apart from the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 210) or the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210.

[0507] For example, the tilt guide member 60 may contact the fixing unit (eg, the housing 210 ) by tilting along the first axis or the second axis.

[0508] 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, such as the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction).

[0509] In an image pickup device ("Comparative Example 1") configured such that the image sensor is fixed and the lens is moved in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis for hand-shake compensation or shake compensation, image distortion may occur. Furthermore, in an image pickup device ("Comparative Example 2") configured such that the lens is fixed and the image sensor is moved or tilted for hand-shake compensation or shake compensation, image distortion may occur at the edges or corners of the image sensor. Therefore, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the image sensor and the lens are separated, and only one of the image sensor and the lens is moved or tilted, which may cause image distortion during hand-shake compensation, and hand-shake compensation at wide angles may be difficult.

[0510] In an embodiment, the OIS driving unit may tilt the OIS moving unit about a first axis or a second axis, or may rotate the OIS moving unit within a predetermined angle range for hand shake compensation. In an embodiment, since the OIS moving unit includes the lens module 400 and the image sensor 810, when OIS is performed, the tilt direction (or rotation direction) and tilt angle (or rotation angle) of the lens module 400 (e.g., lens or lens module) (or the bobbin 110) may be the same as or almost the same as the tilt direction (or rotation direction) and tilt angle (or rotation angle) of the image sensor 810.

[0511] In an embodiment, when OIS is performed, the lens module 400 (or bobbin 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 at a wide angle may be possible.

[0512] In addition, in embodiments, since the OIS moving unit including the lens module 400 (or the bobbin 110) and the image sensor 810 is tilted or rotated, broadband jitter compensation may be possible. In addition, in embodiments, 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.

[0513] Furthermore, in the embodiment, since the tilt guide member 60 is used to tilt the OIS moving unit, the OIS moving unit can be tilted stably, precisely, and accurately when compared to an example using only a ball member or a shaft member, thereby improving reliability of OIS operation.

[0514] Furthermore, in an embodiment, power consumption required to perform OIS may be reduced by the bent portions 804D and 804E of the circuit board 800 and the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 as a flexible substrate.

[0515] Furthermore, in the embodiment, since the tilt guide member 60 is disposed in the seating portion 69 of the housing 210 and the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 overlaps with the opening 60A of the tilt guide member 60, the height or length of the camera apparatus 200 in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0516] In addition, in an embodiment, since at least a portion of the magnetic material 31 is disposed in the opening 60A of the inclined guide member 60, the distance between the magnetic material 31 and the magnetic material 33 can be reduced, which can increase the attraction or holding force required to support the OIS moving unit, thereby performing stable OIS operation.

[0517] In addition, in an embodiment, since the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B serving as driving magnets for hand shake compensation are arranged on the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 instead of on the side portions 71A to 71D of the housing 210, the thickness of the side portions 71A to 71D of the housing 210 (or the length of the side portions 71A to 71D of the housing 210 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis) can be reduced, thereby enabling the camera device apparatus to be designed for mounting a large-aperture lens.

[0518] For example, the horizontal and vertical lengths of the camera device 200 according to an embodiment may each be 12 mm to 23 mm, and the height of the camera device 200 may be 4 mm to 12 mm. For example, the horizontal and vertical lengths of the camera device 200 may be the horizontal and vertical lengths of the cover member 300, and the height of the camera device 200 may be the distance from the lower surface of the housing 210 to the upper surface of the upper plate of the cover member 300. The lens installed in the camera device 200 may have an aperture of 9 mm to 19 mm. In another embodiment, the lens installed in the camera device 200 may have an aperture of 9 mm to 15 mm. If the lens has an aperture greater than 19 mm, the size of the coil 120 and the magnet 130 may be limited to the extent that the coil 120 and the magnet 130 cannot be installed or are insufficient to perform AF.

[0519] Furthermore, if the drive magnets for hand-shake compensation are disposed on the side portions of the housing 210, the length of the camera apparatus 200 in the optical axis direction may be constrained by the length of the drive magnets in the optical axis direction. However, in an embodiment, the drive magnets 310 are disposed on the lower portion 42 of the housing 210, thereby enabling the camera apparatus 200 to be designed so that the length of the camera apparatus 200 in the optical axis direction is reduced without being constrained by the length of the drive magnets in the optical axis direction. Furthermore, in an embodiment, the drive magnets 310 are disposed on the seating portions 141A and 141B of the housing 210, thereby further reducing the length of the camera apparatus 200 in the optical axis direction.

[0520] Figure 19 is a perspective view of the camera apparatus 200 including the lens module 400 .

[0521] Reference Figure 19 , the lens module 400 may be coupled to the bobbin 100 and may be moved in 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.

[0522] In an embodiment, the lens module 400 and the image sensor 810 may simultaneously perform X-axis tilt or Y-axis tilt in the same direction and at the same angle during hand shake compensation or shake compensation.

[0523] Figure 20a shows a first position of the OIS moving unit 100, and Figure 20b A second position of the OIS moving unit 100 is shown.

[0524] Reference Figure 18a 、 Figure 20a and Figure 20b , the OIS moving unit 100 can be tilted by a predetermined angle θ1 due to the force F1 generated by the interaction between the first magnet unit 310A and the first coil unit 230A. That is, when the OIS moving unit 100 moves from the first position to the second position, both the image sensor 810 and the lens module 400 can be tilted by the predetermined angle θ1 simultaneously. In addition, when the OIS moving unit 100 moves from the first position to the second position, the tilt guide member 60 can be tilted by the predetermined angle θ1 together with the image sensor 810 and the lens module 400.

[0525] Therefore, in an embodiment, 100% image resolution can be obtained without image distortion, and hand shake compensation or jitter compensation can be performed at a wide angle. Figure 20a and Figure 20b The description may be applied or similarly applied to the X-axis tilt of the OIS moving unit 100 .

[0526] Figure 21a shows an arrangement of a coil 3230 and a position sensor 3240 according to another embodiment, and Figure 21b Shown with Figure 21a The coil 3230 corresponds to the arrangement of the magnet 3310. The coil 3230 may be corresponding to Figure 2a The configuration of the coil 230 and the magnet 3310 may be corresponding to Figure 2a The position sensor 1240 may be a magnet 310. Figure 2a Configuration of the position sensor 240 .

[0527] Reference Figure 21a and Figure 21b For example, the first coil unit 3230A may correspond to the first magnet unit 3310A in the second direction (X-axis direction), may be opposite to the first magnet unit 3310A, or may overlap with the first magnet unit 3310A. The second coil unit 3230B may correspond to the second magnet unit 3310B in the third direction (Y-axis direction), may be opposite to the second magnet unit 3310B, or may overlap with the second magnet unit 3310B. For example, at least a portion of the first coil unit 3230A may be opposite to the coil 120 in the second direction, or may overlap with the coil 120.

[0528] For example, the second substrate 802 of the circuit board 800A may include a first extension 802A disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the first side portion 41A of the holder 140. Furthermore, the second substrate 802 may include a second extension 802B disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the second side portion 41B of the holder 140. Furthermore, the second substrate 802 may include a third extension 802C disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the third side portion 41C of the holder 140.

[0529] For example, the first extension 802A may be connected to a first side surface of the first substrate 801, the second extension 802B may be connected to a second side surface of the first substrate 801 opposite to the first side surface, and the third extension 802C may be connected to a third side surface of the first substrate 801 located between the first and second side surfaces of the first substrate 801. For example, each of the first to third extensions 802A to 802C may be bent from a corresponding one of the first to third side surfaces of the first substrate 801. Each of the first to third extensions 802A to 802C may extend upward from the first substrate 801.

[0530] For example, the first coil unit 3230A may be disposed on the second side portion 41B of the holder 140, and the second coil unit 3230B may be disposed on the third side portion 41C of the holder 140. Figure 21a Holder 140 may include a first seating portion (not shown) disposed on second side portion 41B and configured to accommodate first coil unit 3230A thereon, and a second seating portion (not shown) disposed on third side portion 41C and configured to accommodate second coil unit 3230B thereon. For example, each of the first and second seating portions of holder 140 may be in the form of a through hole or a recess.

[0531] For example, the coil 120 may be disposed on or coupled to the first extension 802A of the second substrate 802 , and may be conductively connected to the first extension 802A.

[0532] For example, the first coil unit 3230A may be disposed on or coupled to the second extension 802B of the second substrate 802 and may be conductively connected to the second extension 802B. The second coil unit 3230B may be disposed on or coupled to the third extension 802C of the second substrate 802 and may be conductively connected to the third extension 802C.

[0533] For example, each of the first coil unit 3230A and the second coil unit 3230B may include a hollow portion or a hole. For example, each of the first coil unit 3230A and the second coil unit 3230B may have an annular shape or a closed curved shape. For example, the first coil unit 3230A may have an annular shape wound around a straight line perpendicular to the optical axis OA and the outer surface of the second side portion 41B of the holder 140 as an axis, and the second coil unit 3230B may have an annular shape wound around a straight line perpendicular to the optical axis OA and the outer surface of the third side portion 41C of the holder 140 as an axis. For example, each of the first coil unit 3230A and the second coil unit 3230B 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).

[0534] For example, the first sensor 3240A may be disposed in the hollow portion (or hole) of the first coil unit 3230A, and the second sensor 3240B may be disposed in the hollow portion (or hole) of the second coil unit 3230B. In another embodiment, the first sensor 3240A may be disposed outside the hollow portion (or hole) of the first coil unit 3230A, and the second sensor 3240B may be disposed outside the hollow portion (or hole) of the second coil unit 3230B.

[0535] For example, at least a portion of the first sensor 3240A may correspond to at least a portion of the first magnet unit 3310A in the second direction, may be opposite to at least a portion of the first magnet unit 3310A, or may overlap with at least a portion of the first magnet unit 3310A. For example, the center of the first sensor 3240A may overlap with the first magnet unit 3310A in the second direction. At least a portion of the second sensor 3240B may correspond to at least a portion of the second magnet unit 3310B in the third direction, may be opposite to at least a portion of the second magnet unit 3310B, or may overlap with at least a portion of the second magnet unit 3310B. For example, the center of the second sensor 3240A may overlap with the second magnet unit 3310B in the third direction.

[0536] The magnet 3310 may include a first magnet unit 3310A disposed on the second side portion 71B of the housing 210 and a second magnet unit 3310B disposed on the third side portion 71B of the housing 210 .

[0537] For example, the first magnet unit 3310A and the second magnet unit 3310B may be arranged so as not to align with each other in the second direction or the third direction. For example, the first magnet unit 3310A and the second magnet unit 3310B may be arranged on the housing 210 so as not to overlap with each other in the second direction or the third direction. For example, the first magnet unit 3310A and the second magnet unit 3310B may be arranged on two different side portions of the housing 210 so as not to overlap with each other in the second direction or the third direction.

[0538] In another embodiment, the magnet 1310 may be disposed on the holder 140, and the coil 1230 may be disposed on the housing 210. For example, in Figure 21a and Figure 21b In this case, the camera device 200 may include a separate energized portion configured to conductively connect the second coil 2230 and the circuit board 800A to each other, such as a circuit board, a circuit member, or a conductive member.

[0539] The housing 210 may include a first seating portion (not shown) provided on the second side portion 71B of the housing 210 and configured to allow the first magnet unit 3310A to be seated thereon, and a second seating portion (not shown) provided on the third side portion 71C of the housing 210 and configured to allow the second magnet unit 3310B to be seated thereon. For example, each of the first seating portion and the second seating portion of the housing 210 may be in the form of a through hole or a recess.

[0543] 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 the housing 1210 or the cover member 1300 or coupled to the housing 1210 or the cover member 1300. For example, the fixing unit may include at least one of the coil 1230 provided on the housing 1210, the magnetic material 1032, and the movement inhibiting portion 1080.

[0544] The AF moving unit can move relative to the fixed unit in the optical axis direction. For example, the AF moving unit may include a bobbin 1110. In another embodiment, the AF moving unit may further include a device (e.g., a magnet 1130) coupled to the bobbin 1110. In another embodiment, the AF moving unit may further include a lens module 1400 (see FIG. 24 ) coupled to the bobbin 1110.

[0545] OIS moving unit 100 (see Figure 22a ) can be moved and / or tilted leftward or rightward relative to the fixed unit around a first axis (e.g., X-axis (e.g., pitch)) that intersects the optical axis (or the optical axis direction). Furthermore, the OIS moving unit can be moved and / or tilted leftward or rightward relative to the fixed unit around a second axis (e.g., Y-axis (e.g., yaw)) that intersects the optical axis (or the optical axis direction).

[0546] For example, the first axis may intersect the optical axis (or optical axis direction), and the second axis may intersect the optical axis (or optical axis direction) and the first axis. For example, the first axis may be perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and the second axis may be perpendicular to the optical axis direction and the first axis.

[0547] For example, the OIS moving unit may include an AF moving unit. In addition, the OIS moving unit may include an image sensor 1810. The OIS moving unit may include a circuit board 1800 on which the image sensor 1810 is disposed. In addition, the OIS moving unit may include a sensor base 1270 on which at least a portion of the circuit board 1800 is disposed. In addition, the OIS moving unit may include a holder 1140 coupled to the sensor base 1270. The OIS moving unit may alternatively be referred to as a first moving unit (or a first moving unit), and the AF moving unit may alternatively be referred to as a second moving unit (or a second moving unit). For example, the first moving unit may include a sensor base 1270 and a circuit board 1800.

[0548] For example, the OIS moving 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 moving unit may include the magnet 1310 and the magnet 1130 provided on the holder 1140. For example, the OIS moving unit may include the magnetic material 1031 provided on the sensor base 1270. For example, the OIS moving unit may include at least one of the image sensor 1810, the position sensor 1170, the coil 1120, the gyro sensor 1820, the circuit element 1815, and the controller 1830 provided on the circuit board 1800.

[0549] The support unit may support the OIS moving unit relative to the fixing unit. For example, the support unit may include an inclined guide member 1060. For example, the support unit may further include rolling members 1062 and 1063.

[0550] The bobbin 1110 is configured to receive a lens or lens barrel and may be disposed in a holder 1140. The bobbin 1110 may alternatively be referred to as a "lens holder" or a "lens carrier."

[0551] The bobbin 1110 can move in the optical axis direction. For example, the bobbin 1110 can move in 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.

[0552] In addition, the bobbin 1110 may be included in the OIS moving unit, and the bobbin 1110 may be tilted about the first axis or the second axis or may be rotated at a predetermined angle.

[0553] Reference Figure 25 , 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 mounted thereon, and may be, but is not limited to, circular, elliptical, or polygonal.

[0554] Despite Figure 22a Although not shown in the drawings, the bobbin 1110 may include at least one stopper provided on at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the bobbin 1110. The stopper of the bobbin 1110 may protrude from the upper surface (or lower surface) of the bobbin 1110 in a first direction or an upward direction (or a downward direction) and may prevent the upper surface of the 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 holder 1140.

[0555] 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 the outer surface of the bobbin 1110.

[0556] Reference Figure 26 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.

[0557] 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 6 In FIG. 1 , the spool 1110 is shown as including four side surfaces, but in another embodiment, the spool may include three side surfaces or five or more side surfaces.

[0558] For example, the seating portion 1115 may be formed on the first side surface 1110A of the spool. For example, the lower portion of the seating portion 1115 may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of the spool 1110. Furthermore, the upper portion of the seating portion 1115 may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of the spool 1110. In another embodiment, for example, the seating portion 1115 may include an opening that opens to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the spool 1110.

[0559] The 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 bobbin 1110. The receiving portion 1112 may be a recessed portion recessed from the outer surface (e.g., the first side surface 1110A) of the 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 bobbin 1110 to reduce friction with the rolling member 1021.

[0560] For example, the spool 1110 may include a first receiving portion 1112A configured to receive the rolling member 1021A and a second receiving portion 1112B configured to receive the rolling member 1021 B. For example, the seating portion 1115 may be provided between the first receiving portion 1112A and the second receiving portion 1112B.

[0561] For example, first receiving portion 1112A (or second receiving portion 1112B) may include an opening that opens to the upper surface of spool 1110. In another embodiment, the upper portions of receiving portion 1112A and receiving portion 1112B may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of spool 1110. For example, the lower portions of receiving portion 1112A and receiving portion 1112B may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of spool 1110.

[0562] For example, the receiving portion 1112 may be formed to extend in the optical axis direction.For example, the receiving portion 1112 may extend in the optical axis direction to be formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the bobbin 1110 .

[0563] 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" or "U" shape.

[0564] 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.

[0565] The shape of the magnet 1130 may have a shape corresponding to the first side surface 1110A of the bobbin 1110, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape. In another embodiment, for example, at least one of the opposite ends of the magnet 1130 may be tapered.

[0566] For example, the magnet 1130 may include a first side surface 13A facing the coil 1120 and a second side surface 13B opposite the first side surface 13A. The first side surface 13A of the magnet 1130 may be exposed from the first side surface 1110A of the bobbin 1110.

[0567] In addition, in order to enhance the electromagnetic force, the magnet 1130 may be a quadrupole magnet. For example, the magnet 1130 may include two N poles and two S poles.

[0568] For example, the magnet 1130 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 magnet and the second magnet. 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.

[0569] 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.

[0570] For example, the magnet 1130 may be a two-pole magnet having an N pole and an S pole separated or arranged in the direction of the optical axis. In another embodiment, the magnet 1130 may be a magnet having an N pole and an S pole separated or arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In another embodiment, the magnet 1130 may be a two-pole magnet having an N pole and an S pole separated in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0571] The holder 1140 may be disposed in the cover member 1300. The holder 1140 may include a cavity configured to receive the bobbin 1110. The holder 1140 may include an opening 1030A corresponding to the opening 1101 of the bobbin 1110. For example, the opening 1030A may be a through-hole or a hollow portion configured to expose at least a portion of the bobbin 1110 (or the lens module 1400). In addition, for example, the opening 1030A of the holder 1140 may expose the image capture area of ​​the image sensor 1810. The holder 1140 may alternatively be referred to as a "housing."

[0572] For example, the opening 1030A may be located in the center or central region 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 in the optical axis direction. 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.

[0573] The holder 1140 may include a plurality of side portions 1041A to 1041D. The holder 1140 may include a corner located between two adjacent side portions and connecting the two adjacent side portions to each other.

[0574] The retaining frame 1140 may include a first side portion 1041A corresponding to or opposite to the first side surface 1110A of the bobbin 1110, a second side portion 1041B corresponding to or opposite to the second side surface 1110B of the bobbin 1110, a third side portion 1041C corresponding to or opposite to the third side surface 1110C of the bobbin 1110, and a fourth side portion 1041D corresponding to or opposite to the fourth side surface 1110D of the bobbin 1110.

[0575] The first side portion 1041A (or the first side surface or the first outer surface) of the retaining frame 1140 can be positioned relative to the second side portion 1041B (or the second side surface or the second outer surface) of the retaining frame 1140 relative to the optical axis, and the third side portion 1041C (or the third side surface or the third outer surface) of the retaining frame 1140 can be positioned relative to the fourth side portion 1041D (or the fourth side surface or the fourth outer surface) of the retaining frame 1140 relative to the optical axis.

[0576] 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 .

[0577] Reference Figure 27a and Figure 27b , the holder 1140 may include a seating portion 1142A on which the coil 1120 is disposed. 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. Because the seating portion 1142A is a through-hole, a portion of the holder 1140 may not be interposed between the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130, which may increase the electromagnetic force between the magnet 1130 and the coil 1120. Furthermore, because a portion of the holder 1140 may not be interposed between the position sensor 1170 and the magnet 1130, the output of the position sensor 1170 may be increased, and the sensitivity of the position sensor 1170 may be improved.

[0578] 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 .

[0579] The holder 1140 may include seating portions 1143A and 1143B configured to allow the magnet 1310 to be disposed thereon. For example, the holder 1140 may include a first seating portion 1143A configured to allow the first magnet unit 1310A to be disposed thereon, and a second seating portion 1143B configured to allow the second magnet unit 1310B to be disposed thereon.

[0580] For example, the first seating portion 1143A may be provided or formed on the second side portion 1041B of the holder 1140. For example, the first seating portion 1143A may be a recessed portion recessed from the outer surface (or inner surface) of the second side portion 1041B of the holder 1140.

[0581] For example, the second seating portion 1143B may be provided or formed on the third side portion 1041C of the holder 1140. For example, the second seating portion 1143B may be a recessed portion recessed from the outer surface (or outer surface) of the third side portion 1041C of the holder 1140.

[0582] In another embodiment, first seating portion 1143A may be a through-hole formed through second side portion 1041B of holder 1140, and second seating portion 1143B may be a through-hole formed through third side portion 1041C of holder 1140. In this case, since seating portions 1143A and 1143B are in the form of through-holes, a portion of holder 1140 may not be interposed between coil 1230 and magnet 1310, which can increase the electromagnetic force between magnet 1310 and coil 1230. Furthermore, a portion of holder 1140 may not be interposed between position sensor 1240 and magnet 1310, which can increase the output of position sensor 1240 and improve the sensitivity of position sensor 1240.

[0583] For example, the holder 1140 may include a recess 1142 in which at least a portion of the circuit board 1800 (e.g., the second substrate 1802) is disposed. Since at least a portion of the second substrate 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.

[0584] That is, 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 size of the camera apparatus 1200 from increasing in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0585] Reference Figure 27a and Figure 27b , 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."

[0586] At least a portion of the receiving portion 1116 of the holder 1140 may correspond to the receiving portion 1112 of the bobbin 1110 , may be opposite to the receiving portion 1112 of the bobbin 1110 , or may overlap with the receiving portion 1112 of the bobbin 1110 .

[0587] 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.

[0588] For example, first receiver 1116A (or second receiver 1116B) may include an opening that opens to the upper surface of holder 1140. In another embodiment, the upper portion of receiver 1116 may be closed rather than open to the upper surface of holder 1140. For example, the lower portion of receiver 1116 may be closed rather than open to the lower surface of holder 1140.

[0589] 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 .

[0590] 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.

[0591] For example, when viewed in the optical axis direction or from above, the receiving portion 1116 may be opposite to or overlap 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.

[0592] The camera apparatus 1200 may include a rolling member 1021 provided between the bobbin 1110 and the holder 1140. The rolling member 1021 may alternatively be referred to as a "ball member," a "ball," or a "ball bearing."

[0593] At least a portion of the rolling member 1021 may contact the bobbin 1110 and the holder 1140, and may roll or rotate between the bobbin 1110 and the holder 1140 to support movement of the bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction. When the bobbin 1110 moves in the optical axis direction, the rolling member 1021 may reduce friction between the bobbin 1110 and the holder 1140. Due to the rolling or rotation of the rolling member 1021, the bobbin 1110 may slide in the optical axis direction while in contact with the rolling member 1021.

[0594] For example, the rolling member 1021 may be made of metal, plastic, or resin, but is not limited thereto. 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.

[0595] 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.

[0596] For example, at least a portion of rolling member 1021 may be in contact with receiving portion 1112 of spool 1110 , and at least another portion of rolling member 1021 may be in contact with receiving portion 1116 of retainer 1140 .

[0597] The rolling member 1021 may include at least one ball member. For example, the rolling member 1021 may include two or more ball members B1 to B4.

[0598] 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 holder 1140; and a second rolling member 1021B disposed between second receiving portion 1112B of bobbin 1110 and second receiving portion 1116B of holder 1140. For example, first rolling member 1021A may include at least one ball. For example, first rolling member 1021A may include a plurality of balls B1 and B2.

[0599] The second rolling member 1021B may include at least one ball. For example, the second rolling member 1021B may include a plurality of balls B3 and B4. In another embodiment, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include one ball.

[0600] For example, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include three or more balls. For example, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include a top ball located at the uppermost side, a bottom ball located at the lowermost side, and at least one middle ball located between the top ball and the bottom ball. For example, the diameter of the top ball may be larger than the diameter of the middle ball, and the diameter of the bottom ball may be larger than the diameter of the middle ball. Furthermore, for example, the diameters of the top ball and the bottom ball may be equal. In another embodiment, the diameters of the top ball, the bottom ball, and the middle ball may be equal.

[0601] For example, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include a first ball (top ball), a second ball (bottom ball), and a third ball (middle ball) arranged in the direction of the optical axis, wherein the diameter of the first ball may be larger than the diameter of the third ball. Furthermore, the diameter of the second ball may be larger than the diameter of the third ball. For example, the diameter of the first ball and the diameter of the third ball may be equal to each other. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first ball may be larger than the diameter of the second ball. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first ball may be smaller than the diameter of the second ball. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first ball, the diameter of the second ball, and the diameter of the third ball may be equal to each other.

[0602] For example, each of the diameter of the first bulb and the diameter of the second bulb may be 0.85 mm to 0.95 mm, and the diameter of the third bulb may be 0.75 mm to 0.85 mm.

[0603] In another embodiment, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include four balls, wherein each of the diameters of the top ball and the bottom ball may be 0.85 mm to 0.95 mm, and the diameter of each of the two middle balls may be 0.75 mm to 0.85 mm.

[0604] When viewed from above, the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130 may be located between the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B. This serves to improve the reliability of autofocus by ensuring that the rolling member 1021 stably supports the bobbin 1110 without causing the bobbin 1110 to tilt and move when the bobbin 1110 moves in the optical axis direction.

[0605] In another embodiment, each of the first ball member 1021A and the second ball 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 rolling members 1021A and 1021B.

[0606] 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. 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.

[0607] Magnetic material 1082 may be a material that adheres to a magnet. For example, magnetic material 1082 may be a metal material that adheres to a magnet. Alternatively, for example, magnetic material 1082 may be a magnetic metal material. Alternatively, for example, magnetic material 1082 may be a magnet. Alternatively, magnetic material 1082 may be referred to as a "yoke." Magnetic material 1082 may be used to enhance or increase the electromagnetic force between magnet 1130 and coil 1120.

[0608] Since the magnet 1130 is provided on the bobbin 1110 and the magnetic material 1082 is provided on the holder 1140, the bobbin 1110 can be pulled in the direction toward the holder 1140 provided with the magnetic material 1082 due to the attractive force acting between the magnetic material 1082 and the magnet 1130. Due to the attractive force between the magnetic material 1082 and the magnet 1130, the bobbin 1110 and the holder 1140 can press the rolling member 1021 and can stably support the bobbin 1110.

[0609] Magnetic material 1082 and magnet 1130 may serve as a "pressing unit" or "pressing member." When the pressing unit moves bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction, contact between bobbin 1110 and rolling member 1021, as well as between holder 1140 and rolling member 1021, may be maintained. In other words, due to the attractive force between magnet 1130 and magnetic material 1082, rolling member 1021 may be supported stably against holder 1140, thereby supporting bobbin 1110.

[0610] 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 apparatus 1200 may further include an energizing member, such as a conductive member, configured to conductively connect the coil 1120 disposed on the bobbin 1110 and the second substrate 1802 of the circuit board 1800.

[0611] Reference Figure 27b The holder 1140 may include a seating portion 1045A on which the filter 1610 is seated or disposed. The seating portion 1045A may be disposed or formed on the lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the seating portion 1045A may be a recessed portion recessed from the lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the seating portion 1045A may include a bottom surface 1005A having a step formed from the lower surface of the holder 1140 in the optical axis direction, and a side surface 1005B connecting the lower surface of the holder 1140 and the bottom surface 1005A of the seating portion 1045A. For example, the opening 1030A may be formed through the bottom surface 1005A of the seating portion 1045A.

[0612] 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 filter 1610 to the seating portion 1045A from overflowing the seating portion 1045A.

[0613] 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. For example, the avoidance recess 1046 may be recessed from the lower surface of the holder 1140.

[0614] The avoidance recess 1046 may correspond to the circuit element 1815 in the optical axis direction, be opposite to the circuit element 1815, or overlap with the circuit element 1815. 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 each other relative to the seating portion 1045A or the 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.

[0615] 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 function as a guide configured to facilitate assembly of the sensor base 1270 with the holder 1140, and may increase a coupling area between the sensor base 1270 and the holder 1140 to improve a coupling force between the sensor base and the holder.

[0616] 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 or corner region 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. Furthermore, the holder 1140 may include a recess 1048 or a 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.

[0617] In another embodiment, the holder 1140 may include a protrusion protruding from the lower surface of the holder 1140 instead of the recess 1047, and the sensor base 1270 may include a recess recessed from the upper surface of the sensor base 1270 and coupled to the protrusion of the holder 1140 instead of the protrusion 1216. In addition, in another embodiment, the boss 1017 may be formed on the holder 1140, and the recess 1048 may be formed in the sensor base 1270.

[0618] The camera device 1200 may include a filter 1610 disposed on or coupled to the holder 1140. For example, the filter 1610 may be disposed below the holder 1140. For example, the filter 1610 may be coupled to a lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the filter 1610 may be disposed on the seating portion 1045A of the holder 1140.

[0619] The filter 1610 may be used to block 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 may be an infrared cutoff filter. For example, the filter 1610 may be disposed parallel to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis OA.

[0620] The 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 filter 1610 may be coupled to the bottom surface of the seating portion 1045A.

[0621] For example, the adhesive may be an epoxy resin, a thermosetting adhesive, or a UV curing adhesive. For example, at least a portion of filter 1610 may correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap lens module 1400 and / or image sensor 1810 in the optical axis direction.

[0622] The sensor base 1270 may be disposed below the holder 1140. The sensor base 1270 may be disposed in the housing 1210. 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 represented separately and may alternatively be referred to by a single term such as "housing", "holder" or "sensor base". In another embodiment, the sensor base 1270 and the holder 1140 may be formed integrally.

[0623] 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."

[0624] For example, the protrusion 1216 may correspond to the recess 1047 of the holder 1140 in the optical axis direction, be opposite to the recess 1047 of the holder 1140, or overlap with the recess 1047 of the holder 1140. 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, at least a portion of the protrusion 1216 may be coupled to the recess 1047 of the holder 1140 via an adhesive.

[0625] For example, the sensor base 1270 may include a body 1270A and a protrusion 1216 protruding from the upper surface of the body 1270A. 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 disposed at a corner region of the upper surface of the body 1270A. For example, the protrusion 1216 may include four protrusions 1216A to 1216D disposed 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. In another embodiment, the housing 1210 may include at least one protrusion disposed at at least one of the four corner regions of the upper surface of the body 270, and the holder 1140 may include at least one recess 1048 corresponding to the at least one protrusion of the housing 1210.

[0626] The sensor base 1270 or body 1270A may include side portions 1051A to 1051D that correspond to, oppose, or overlap the side portions 1041A to 1041D of the holder 1140 .

[0627] In another embodiment, the sensor base 1270 may include a receiving portion 1056 configured to accommodate the gyro sensor 1820 therein or to avoid spatial interference with the gyro sensor 1820. For example, the receiving portion 1056 may be formed through the sensor base 1270 in the direction of the optical axis. For example, the receiving portion 1056 may be formed through the body 1270A in the direction of the optical axis. In another embodiment, the receiving portion 1056 may be a recessed portion recessed from the upper surface of the body 1270A. The receiving portion 1056 may include an opening leading to the outer surface of the sensor base 1270.

[0628] The sensor base 1270 may include a receiving portion 1155 in which the controller 1830 is disposed or received. The receiving portion 1155 may be a recessed portion recessed from the lower surface of the sensor base 1270 or the lower surface of the body 1270A. In another embodiment, the receiving portion 1155 may be a through hole formed through the sensor base 1270 or the body 1270A in the direction of the optical axis.

[0629] The sensor base 1270 may include a receiving portion 1028A configured to receive the magnetic material 1031. The receiving portion 1028A may be disposed or formed in the lower portion or lower surface of the sensor base 1270. For example, the receiving portion 1028A may be a recessed portion recessed from the lower portion or lower surface of the sensor base 1270. For example, the receiving portion 1028A may be disposed or formed in the lower surface of the body 1270A. For example, the receiving portion 1028A may have a shape corresponding to the magnetic material 1031.

[0630] The sensor base 1270 may include a seating portion 1025A in which at least a portion of the inclined guide member 1060 is disposed, or in which at least a portion of the inclined guide member 1060 is received. For example, the seating portion 1025A may be a recessed portion recessed from the lower surface of the sensor base 1270. For example, the seating portion 1025A may have a shape corresponding to or identical to the shape of the inclined guide member 1060. For example, the seating portion 1025A may include a bottom surface having a step formed from the lower surface of the sensor base 1270 in the optical axis direction, and a side surface connecting the bottom surface to the lower surface of the sensor base 1270. For example, the bottom surface of the seating portion 1025A may be located at a higher position than the lower surface of the sensor base 1270.

[0631] Reference Figure 24a and Figure 24b Since the seating portion 1025A into which at least a portion of the inclined guide member 1060 is inserted or disposed is formed in the lower surface of the sensor base 1270, the sensor base 1270 may include a partition wall 1272 (or a guide portion) provided on the lower surface thereof and disposed around the inclined guide member 1060. The inclined guide member 1060 may be spaced apart from the partition wall 1272, and the partition wall 1272 may be disposed so as to surround the inclined guide member 1060. The partition wall 1272 may prevent the inclined guide member 1060 from being separated or displaced from the sensor base 1270.

[0632] The sensor base 1270 may include a protrusion 1028 (or boss) protruding from a lower portion or lower surface of the sensor base 1270. For example, the protrusion 1028 may protrude from the bottom surface of the seating portion 1025A of the sensor base 1270. For example, the protrusion 1028 may have a protruding length greater than the depth of the seating portion 1025A. For example, the protruding length of the protrusion 1028 may be the distance (or shortest distance) from the bottom surface of the seating portion 1025A to the lower surface (or lowermost end) of the protrusion 1028. Furthermore, the depth of the resting portion 1025A may be the distance (or shortest distance) from the lower surface of the sensor base 1270 to the bottom surface of the resting portion 1025A.

[0633] In another embodiment, for example, the protrusion 1028 may have a protruding length less than or equal to the depth of the seating portion 1025 A. For example, the protrusion 1028 may have a shape corresponding to or identical to the shape of the opening 1060A of the inclined guide member 1060 .

[0634] For example, the protrusion 1028 of the sensor base 1270 may correspond to the opening 1060A of the tilt guide member 1060 in the optical axis direction, be opposite to the opening 1060A of the tilt guide member 1060, or overlap with the opening 1060A of the tilt guide member 1060. For example, at least a portion of the protrusion 1028 of the sensor base 1270 may be disposed in the opening 1060A of the tilt guide member 1060.

[0635] For example, the receiving portion 1028A may be provided or formed in the protrusion 1028 of the sensor base 1270. For example, the receiving portion 1028A may be a recessed portion recessed from the lower surface of the protrusion 1028 of the sensor base 1270.

[0636] For example, the protrusion 1028 may be provided between the ball members 1062A and 1062B. For example, the protrusion 1028 (or the magnetic material 1031) may overlap the ball members 1062A and 1062B in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis (eg, the second direction).

[0637] The sensor base 1270 may include a recess 1029 in which the rolling member 1062 is disposed or received. The recess 1029 may be formed in the lower surface of the sensor base 1270. For example, the recess 1029 may be recessed from the lower surface of the sensor base 1270. The number of recesses 1029 may be equal to the number of rolling members 1062.

[0638] For example, the recess 1029 may include two recesses 1029A and 1029B spaced apart from each other. For example, the two recesses 1029A and 1029B may be spaced apart from each other in the X-axis direction. For example, the protrusion 1028 of the sensor base 1270 may be disposed between the two recesses 1029A and 1029B of the sensor base 1270.

[0639] The recess 1029 may contact the boss 1065 of the rolling member 1062 at at least one point. For example, the recess 1029 may include a bottom surface and at least one side surface connected to the bottom surface. The at least one side surface may be an inclined surface. For example, the recess 1029 may include a bottom surface and multiple inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces of the recess 1029 may have the same shape. In another embodiment, at least one of the inclined surfaces of the recess 1029 may have a different shape from the other inclined surfaces.

[0640] Reference Figure 7c The protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270 may have a recess 1212A into which at least a portion of the first substrate 1801 of the circuit board 1800 is inserted or disposed. For example, a corner of the first substrate 1801 may be inserted into or coupled to the recess 1212A of the protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270. For example, the recess 1212A may be formed in a side surface of the protrusion 1216 opposite the corner of the circuit board 1800. Furthermore, at least one corner of the circuit board 1800 may have a recess 83 configured to be inserted into or coupled to the recess 1212A of the protrusion 1216. The recess 1212A of the protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270 may serve as a coupling guide for coupling between the first substrate 1801 and the sensor base 1270 , and may serve to suppress the first substrate 1801 from rotating and / or separating from the sensor base 1270 .

[0641] The circuit board 1800 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the sensor base 1270. For example, the circuit board 1800 may be coupled to the sensor base 1270 via an adhesive or a fixing member. For example, at least a portion of the circuit board 1800 may be coupled to or fixed to the holder 1140.

[0642] The circuit board 1800 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the body 1270A of the sensor base 1270. The circuit board 1800 may include at least one of a rigid printed circuit board (rigid PCB), a flexible printed circuit board (flex PCB), and a rigid-flexible printed circuit board (rigid-flex PCB). For example, the circuit board 1800 may include a rigid printed circuit board and a flexible printed circuit board.

[0643] For example, the circuit board 1800 may include a first substrate 1801 (or "first region") disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the sensor base 1270. For example, the first substrate 1801 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the body 1270A of the sensor base 1270. For example, the lower surface of the first substrate 1801 may be coupled to the upper surface of the sensor base 1270 or the upper surface of the body 1270A. For example, the lower surface of the first substrate 1801 may be coupled to the upper surface of the sensor base 1270 or the upper surface of the body 1270A via an adhesive.

[0644] The circuit board 1800 may include a second substrate 1802 (or "second region") connected to the first substrate 1801 and disposed on a side portion of the holder 1140. For example, the second substrate 1802 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to at least one of the side portions of the holder 1140 (e.g., the first side portion 1041A).

[0645] exist Figure 27a In the embodiment, the circuit board 1800 includes one second substrate, but in another embodiment, the circuit board 1800 may include a plurality of second substrates provided on the side portion of the holder 1140 .

[0646] For example, the second substrate 1802 may be connected to the first side surface of the first substrate 1801. For example, the second substrate 1802 may be bent from the first side surface of the first substrate 1801 toward the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140. For example, the second substrate 1802 may extend upward from the first substrate 1801.

[0647] The circuit board 1800 may include a third substrate 1803 on which a connector 1805 is disposed or provided, and a fourth substrate 1804 that connects the first substrate 1802 and the third substrate 1803 to each other.

[0648] For example, the first substrate 1801 may be a rigid printed circuit board. For example, the second substrate 1802 may be a flexible printed circuit board. For example, the third substrate 1803 may be a rigid printed circuit board. For example, the fourth substrate 1804 may be a flexible printed circuit board.

[0649] For example, a rigid printed circuit board may include a plurality of conductive layers (or circuit patterns) spaced apart from each other in the optical axis direction, and an insulating layer disposed between two adjacent conductive layers in the plurality of conductive layers. For example, a flexible printed circuit board may include a conductive layer (or circuit pattern), a first insulating layer disposed on the conductive layer, and a second insulating layer disposed below the conductive layer. In another embodiment, the flexible printed circuit board may include a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a first insulating layer disposed between the first and second conductive layers, a second insulating layer disposed on the first conductive layer, and a third insulating layer disposed below the second conductive layer.

For example, the image capture area may include a plurality of pixels from which an image is formed. The image sensor 1810 may be conductively connected to the first substrate 1801. The image capture area may correspond to the lens module 1400 and / or the filter 1610 in the optical axis direction, be opposite to the lens module 1400 and / or the filter 1610, or overlap with the lens module 1400 and / or the filter 1610.

[0652] The camera device 1200 may include a circuit element 1815 disposed on the first substrate 1801. For example, the circuit element 1815 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 1810, the circuit element 1815 may be disposed between the image sensor 1810 and an edge (e.g., a side surface) of the first substrate 1801.

[0653] The camera device 1200 may include a controller 1830 disposed on the circuit board 1800. For example, the controller 1830 may be a driver IC. For example, the controller 1830 may be disposed on the first substrate 1801. For example, the controller 1830 may be disposed below the first substrate 1801. For example, the controller 1830 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the lower surface of the first substrate 1801. For example, the controller 1830 may be conductively connected to the first substrate 1801. In another embodiment, the controller 1830 may be disposed on the second substrate 1802.

[0654] For example, the controller 1830 may be conductively connected to the coil 1120 and may supply a drive signal to the coil 1120. For example, the controller 1830 may be conductively connected to the position sensor 1170. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be a Hall sensor and may include two input terminals and two output terminals. In this case, the controller 1830 may supply power to the two input terminals of the position sensor 1170. The controller 1830 may receive an output signal of the position sensor 1170 output from the two output terminals of the position sensor 1170, and may use the output signal of the position sensor 1170 to control the drive signal (e.g., drive current) supplied to the coil 1120.

[0655] The position sensor 1170 may be a driver IC including a Hall sensor. If the position sensor 1170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the controller 1830 may be omitted. If the position sensor 1170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the position sensor 1170 may include first to sixth terminals conductively connected to the circuit board 1800. The first and second terminals of the position sensor 1170 may be terminals configured to receive a power signal, the third terminal may be a terminal configured to send or receive a clock signal (SCL), and the fourth terminal may be a terminal configured to send or receive a data signal (SDA). The fifth and sixth terminals of the position sensor 1170 may be conductively connected to the coil 1120 and may supply a drive signal to the first coil 1120.

[0656] The camera device 1200 may include a gyro sensor 1820 provided on the circuit board 1800. For example, the gyro sensor 1820 outputs rotational angular velocity information caused by the movement of the camera device 1200. For example, the motion sensor 1820 may be implemented as a 2-axis or 3-axis gyro sensor or an angular velocity sensor.

[0657] For example, the gyro sensor 1820 may be disposed on the first substrate 1801. For example, the gyro sensor 1820 may be disposed below the first substrate 1801. For example, the gyro sensor 1820 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the lower surface of the first substrate 1801. For example, the gyro sensor 1820 may be conductively connected to the first substrate 1801.

[0658] For example, at least one of the gyro sensor 1820 and the controller 1830 may be disposed proximate to the third substrate 1803. For example, at least one of the gyro sensor 1820 and the controller 1830 may be disposed proximate to a first side surface of the first substrate 1801 that is adjacent to or connected to the third substrate 1803. The gyro sensor 1820 and the controller 1830 may be disposed closer to the first side surface of the first substrate 1801 than to the second side surface of the first substrate 1801, and the second side surface of the first substrate 1801 may be opposite to the first side surface of the first substrate 1801.

[0659] The coil 1120 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the circuit board 1800 (e.g., the second substrate 1802). For example, the coil 1120 may be conductively connected to the circuit board 1800 (e.g., the second substrate 1802). For example, the coil 1120 may be conductively connected to the circuit board 1800 (e.g., the second substrate 1802) via a conductive adhesive or solder. For example, the coil 1120 may be disposed on or coupled to the second substrate 1802 and may be conductively connected to the second substrate 1802.

[0660] The coil 1120 may move the AF moving unit (eg, bobbin) in the optical axis direction by interacting with the magnet 1130 . The second coil 1120 may be disposed on a holding frame 1140 .

[0661] The coil 1120 may be disposed so as to correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap the magnet 1130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the coil 1120 may be disposed on the holder 1140 so as to correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap the magnet 1130 in the second direction (e.g., the X-axis direction) or in the direction from the first side portion 1041A to the second side portion 1041B of the holder 1140. For example, the coil 1120 may be disposed on the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140. The coil 1120 may be disposed in the seating portion 1142A of the holder 1140.

[0662] For example, the coil 1120 may include a hollow portion or a hole. For example, the coil 1120 may have an annular shape or a closed curved shape. For example, the coil 1120 may have an annular 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 an annular 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).

[0663] A drive signal may be applied to the coil 1120 to generate an electromagnetic force through electromagnetic interaction with the magnet 1130. For example, a drive signal from the circuit board 1800 or the controller 1830 may be applied to the coil 1120. The drive signal supplied to the coil 1120 may be 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.

[0664] The coil 1120, to which the driving signal has been supplied, can electromagnetically interact with the magnet 1130 provided on the bobbin 1110, and the AF moving unit can be moved in the first direction by the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic interaction between the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130. The magnitude and / or direction of the driving signal (e.g., driving current) can be adjusted by the controller 1830, thereby controlling the movement of the AF moving unit in the first direction, and thus performing the autofocus function.

[0665] For AF feedback drive, the camera apparatus 1200 may include a position sensor 1170. The position sensor 1170 can detect the position or displacement of the bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction. For example, the position sensor 1170 can detect the magnet 1130 provided on the bobbin 1110. In another embodiment, a sensing magnet separate from the magnet 1130 and opposite to the position sensor 1170 can be provided on the bobbin 1110, and the position sensor 1170 can detect the sensing magnet or the magnetic field of the sensing magnet to detect the displacement of the bobbin.

[0666] For example, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed on the holder 1140. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed on the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed in the seating portion 1142A of the holder 1140. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed in the hollow portion of the coil 1120. In another embodiment, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed outside the hollow portion of the coil 1120.

[0667] For example, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed on the circuit board 1800. The position sensor 1170 may be coupled to the circuit board 1800. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be coupled to the circuit board 1800 via a conductive adhesive or solder. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be conductively connected or coupled to the second substrate 1802. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be conductively connected to the second substrate 1802 via a conductive adhesive or solder.

[0668] 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, be opposite to, or overlap the magnet 1130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or in the second direction.

[0669] The position sensor 1170 can detect the displacement of the bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction.

[0670] For example, the position sensor 1170 may detect the magnetic field or the intensity of the magnetic field of the magnet 1130 mounted on the bobbin 1110 based on the movement of the bobbin 1110 and may output an output signal.

[0671] For example, the position sensor 1170 may be a Hall effect sensor. In this case, the position sensor 1170 may include two input terminals and two output terminals, a drive signal is applied to the two input terminals, and an output signal is output from the two output terminals. 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 supply the drive signal to the two input terminals of the position sensor 1170, and the output signal from the two output terminals of the position sensor 1170 may be sent to the circuit board 1800 or the controller 1830.

[0672] 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.

[0673] 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 supply 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.

[0674] The magnet 1310 may be provided on or coupled to the mobile unit. For example, the magnet 1310 may be provided on or coupled to the holder 1140. The magnet 1310 may include a first magnet unit 1310A provided on the second side portion 1041B of the holder 1140 and a second magnet unit 1310B provided on the third side portion 1041C of the holder 1140.

[0675] For example, the first magnet unit 1310A may be disposed on the first seating portion 1143A of the holder 1140 , and the second magnet unit 1310B may be disposed on the second seating portion 1143B of the holder 1140 .

[0676] For example, the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B can be arranged to be misaligned with each other in the second direction or the third direction. For example, the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B can be arranged on a moving unit (e.g., a holder 1140) 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 can be arranged on two different side portions of the holder 1140 so as not to overlap each other in the second direction or the third direction.

[0677] In another embodiment, the magnet 1310 may be disposed on the housing 1210, and the coil 1230 may be disposed on the holder 1140. For example, in Figure 23 In this case, the camera device 1200 may include a separate energized portion configured to conductively connect the second coil 1230 and the circuit board 1800 to each other, such as a circuit board, a circuit member, or a conductive member.

[0678] 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 having an north pole and an south pole separated or arranged in 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 located at a higher position than the south pole (or north pole) thereof.

[0679] In another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be a two-pole magnet having an N pole and an S pole separated or arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be a quadrupole magnet including two N poles and two S poles.

[0680] The camera device 1200 may include a magnetic material 1082 disposed opposite the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130. For example, the magnetic material 1082 may be disposed on the OIS moving unit. For example, the magnetic material 1082 may be disposed on the holder 1140 or on the second substrate 1802 of the circuit board 1800. For example, the magnetic material 1082 may be disposed so as to correspond to, oppose to, or overlap with the magnet 1130 in the second direction. Furthermore, for example, the magnetic material 1082 may be disposed so as to correspond to, oppose to, or overlap with the coil 1120 in the second direction. For example, the magnetic material 1082 may be disposed on or coupled to the second substrate 1802. For example, the coil 1120 may be disposed on a first surface of the second substrate 1802 facing the magnet 1130, and the magnetic material 1082 may be disposed on a second surface of the second substrate 1802 opposite the first surface of the second substrate 1802. The magnetic material 1082 may be coupled, attached, or fixed to the second substrate 1802 via an adhesive.

[0681] Reference Figure 10a and Figure 10b The housing 1210 may include a cavity configured to receive the OIS moving unit. For example, the housing 1210 may have a shape corresponding to the OIS moving unit (e.g., 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."

[0682] 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 between two adjacent side portions.

[0683] 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 underside 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 extend or protrude upward from the lower portion 1042.

[0684] Reference Figure 30a The housing 1210 includes a first side portion 1071A corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping with the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140; a second side portion 1071B corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping with the second side portion 1041B of the holder 1140; and a second side portion 1071B corresponding to, opposite to, or overlapping with the second side portion 1041B of the holder 1140. B overlaps; a third side portion 1071C, which corresponds to the third side portion 1041C of the retaining frame 1140, is opposite to the third side portion 1041C of the retaining frame 1140, or overlaps with the third side portion 1041C of the retaining frame 1140; and a fourth side portion 1071D, which corresponds to the fourth side portion 1041D of the retaining frame 1140, is opposite to the fourth side portion 1041D of the retaining frame 1140, or overlaps with the fourth side portion 1041D of the retaining frame 1140.

[0685] 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.

[0686] 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 .

[0687] The housing 1210 may include a step 1411 provided on the lower portion of at least one of the side portions 1071A to 1071D. For example, the step 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 step 1411 may be opposite to or overlap the side plate 1302 of the cover member 1300 in the optical axis direction. For example, the step 1411 may be coupled to the side plate 1302 of the cover member 1300 via an adhesive.

[0688] The housing 1210 may include seating portions 141A and 141B in which the coil 1230 is disposed or received. For example, each of the seating portions 141A and 141B may be a through-hole formed through a side portion of the housing 1210. In another embodiment, each of the seating portions 1141A and 1141B may be a recessed portion recessed from a side portion of the housing 1210.

[0689] Housing 1210 may include a first seating portion 1141A on which first coil unit 1230A is disposed, and a second seating portion 1230A on which second coil unit 1310B is disposed. For example, first seating portion 1141A may be disposed or formed on second side portion 1071B of housing 1210, and second seating portion 1141B may be disposed or formed on third side portion 1071C of housing 1210. For example, first seating portion 1141A may be formed through second side portion 1071B of housing 1210, and second seating portion 1141B may be formed through third side portion 1071C of housing 1210. The first seating portion 1141A may include an opening to the upper surface of the second side portion 1071B of the housing 1210, and the second seating portion 1141B may include an opening to the upper surface of the third side portion 1071C of the housing 1210. In another embodiment, the first seating portion (or the second seating portion) may not include an opening to the upper surface of the second side portion (or the third side portion) of the housing 1210.

[0690] The housing 1210 may include a receiving portion 1049A configured to receive the magnetic material 1032. 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 magnetic material 1032, 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, be opposite to the receiving portion 1028A of the sensor base 1270, or overlap with the receiving portion 1028A of the sensor base 1270.

[0691] although Figure 30b Although not shown, the housing 1210 may include a recess in which at least another portion of the inclined guide member 1060 is disposed or received.

[0692] The housing 1210 may include a recess 1055 in which the rolling member 1063 is disposed or received. The recess 1055 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. The number of recesses 1055 of the housing 1210 may be equal to the number of rolling members 1063.

[0693] 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 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 be perpendicular to each other. For example, the receiving portion 1049A may be disposed between the two recesses 1055A and 1055B of the housing 1210.

[0694] The recess 1055 of the housing 1210 may contact the rolling member 1063 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.

[0695] The housing 1210 may include a protrusion 1215 protruding in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the protrusion 1215 may protrude from a side portion of the housing 1210.

[0696] 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 protruding in a direction parallel to a line passing through the optical axis and perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the protrusion 1215 may include a recess 1016A (or hollow portion) 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.

[0697] Reference Figure 30b The recess 1016A of the protrusion 1215 may be provided with coupling recesses 1215A and 1215B for inserting, coupling, or fixing the movement inhibiting portion 1080. For example, the coupling recesses 1215A and 1215B may be formed in two facing inner surfaces of the recess 1016A of the protrusion 1215. For example, the coupling recesses 1215A and 1215B may extend in the optical axis direction. For example, in order to easily insert or couple the movement inhibiting 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.

[0698] 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 apparatus can be realized.

[0699] The coil 1230 may be provided on a fixed unit. For example, the coil 1230 may be provided on the housing 1210. Due to interaction with the magnet 1310 provided on the OIS moving unit, the coil 1230 may tilt the OIS moving unit around a first axis (e.g., X-axis) or a second axis (e.g., Y-axis), or may rotate the OIS moving unit at a predetermined angle.

[0700] The coil 1230 may include: a first coil unit 1230A, which corresponds to the first magnet unit 1310A, is opposite to the first magnet unit 1310A, or overlaps with the first magnet unit 1310A; and a second coil unit 1230B, which corresponds to the second magnet unit 1310B, is opposite to the second magnet unit 1310B, or overlaps with the second magnet unit 1310B.

[0701] For example, the first coil unit 1230A may correspond to the first magnet unit 1310A in the second direction, be opposite to the first magnet unit 1310A, or overlap with the first magnet unit 1310A, and the second coil unit 1230B may correspond to the second magnet unit 1310B in the third direction, be opposite to the second magnet unit 1310B, or overlap with the second magnet unit 1310B. For example, the first coil unit 1230A may be opposite to the coil 1120 in the second direction, or overlap with the coil 1120.

[0702] For example, the first coil unit 1230A may be disposed on the second side portion 1071B of the housing 1210 , and the second coil unit 1230B may be disposed on the third side portion 1071C of the housing 1210 .

[0703] 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 an annular shape or a closed curved shape. For example, the first coil unit 1230A may have an annular shape wound around a straight line perpendicular to the optical axis OA and the outer surface of the second side portion 1041B of the holder 1140 as an axis, and the second coil unit 1230B may have an annular shape wound around a straight line perpendicular to the optical axis OA and the outer surface of the third side portion 1041C of the holder 1140 as an axis. For example, each of the first coil unit 1230A and the second coil unit 1230B 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).

[0704] The camera device 1200 may include a circuit board 1190 disposed on or coupled to the fixing unit. For example, the circuit board 1190 may be disposed on or coupled to the housing 1210. For example, the circuit board 1190 may be disposed on a side portion of the housing 1210. For example, the circuit board 1190 may be disposed on or coupled to at least one of the side portions 1071A to 1071D of the housing 1210.

[0705] Reference Figure 30bFor example, the circuit board 1190 may include a first substrate 1191 disposed on the second side portion 1071B of the housing 1210 and a second substrate 1192 disposed on the third side portion 1071C of the housing 1210. The second substrate 1192 may be bent from the first substrate 1191. The circuit board 1190 may be conductively connected to the second coil 1230. The circuit board 1190 may also be conductively connected to the position sensor 1240.

[0706] The housing 1210 may include a recess 1019 in which the circuit board 1190 is disposed or received. The recess 1019 may be recessed from the outer surface of the side portion of the housing 1210. The recess 1019 may be formed in at least one of the side portions 1071A to 1071D of the housing 1210. For example, the recess 1019 may include a first recess 1019A formed in the second side portion 1071B of the housing 1210 and a second recess 1019B formed in the third side portion 1071C of the housing 1210.

[0707] For example, the first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190 may be disposed in the first recess 1019A of the housing 1210 , and the second substrate 1192 of the circuit board 1190 may be disposed in the first recess 1019B of the housing 1210 .

[0708] For example, the second recess 1019B may be provided on the step 1411 of the housing 1210. The first recess 1019A may extend to the lower surface of the second side portion 1071B of the housing 1210. For example, the step 1411 may not be formed below the first recess 1019A. Figure 13 b. The first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190 can extend to the lower portion, lower end, or lower surface of the second side portion 1071B of the housing 1210. For example, at least some of the terminals P1 to Pn disposed on the lower portion of the first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190 can be disposed so as to overlap with the step 1411 of the housing 1210 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Furthermore, the terminals P1 to Pn may not protrude beyond the step 1411 of the housing 1210. This facilitates electrical connection, such as soldering, between the terminals P1 to Pn and external devices.

[0709] The housing 1210 may include at least one boss 1009A and 1009B. The at least one boss 1009A and 1009B may be provided on a side portion of the housing 1210. For example, the at least one boss 1009A and 1009B may protrude from the bottom surface of the recessed portions 1019A and 1019B of the housing 1210.

[0710] The circuit board 1190 may include at least one hole 1007A and 1007B coupled to the bosses 1009A and 1009B of the housing 1210. For example, the holes 1007A and 1007B may be through holes.

[0711] For example, the housing 1210 may include a first boss 1009A disposed on the second side portion 1071B. The housing 1210 may include a second boss 1009B disposed on the third side portion 1071C. The first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190 may include a first hole 7A coupled to the first boss 1009A. The second substrate 1192 of the circuit board 1190 may include a second hole 7B coupled to the second boss 1009B.

[0712] The coil 1230 may be disposed on or coupled to the circuit board 1190. For example, the first coil unit 1230A may be disposed on the first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190, and the second coil unit 1230B may be disposed on the second substrate 1192 of the circuit board 1190. For example, the first coil unit 1230A may be conductively connected to the first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190, and the second coil unit 1230B may be conductively connected to the second substrate 1192 of the circuit board 1190.

[0713] For example, the first substrate 1191 may correspond to the first magnet unit 1310A, be opposite to the first magnet unit 1310A, or overlap with the first magnet unit 1310A in the second direction, and the second substrate 1192 may correspond to the second magnet unit 1310B, be opposite to the second magnet unit 1310B, or overlap with the second magnet unit 1310B in the third direction.

[0714] 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 moving unit due to tilt or rotation of the OIS moving unit.

[0715] For example, the position sensor 1240 may include a first sensor 1240A and a second sensor 1240B. For example, the first sensor 1240A may correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap the first magnet unit 1310A, and the second sensor 1240B may correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap the second magnet unit 1310B. For example, at least a portion of the first sensor 1240A may correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap at least a portion of the first magnet unit 1310A in the second direction. For example, the center of the first sensor 1240A may overlap with the first magnet unit 1310A in the second direction. At least a portion of the second sensor 1240B may correspond to, be opposite to, or overlap at least a portion of the second magnet unit 1310B in the third direction. For example, the center of the second sensor 1240A may overlap with the second magnet unit 1310B in the third direction.

[0716] 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 second sensor 1240B may detect the second magnet unit 1310B (or the magnetic field of the second magnet unit 1310B).

[0717] The position sensor 1240 may be provided on the circuit board 1190. The position sensor 1240 may be conductively connected to the circuit board 1190.

[0718] For example, the first sensor 1240A may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190, and the second sensor 1240B may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the second substrate 1192 of the circuit board 1190. For example, the first sensor 1240A may be conductively connected to the first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190, and the second sensor 1240B may be conductively connected to the second substrate 1192 of the circuit board 1190.

[0719] 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.

[0720] For example, each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B may be a Hall sensor. 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 1191, 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 second substrate 1192.

[0721] The camera apparatus 1200 may include a controller 1835 provided on the circuit board 1190. The controller 1835 may be conductively connected to the circuit board 1190. For example, the controller 1835 may be a driver IC.

[0722] For example, the controller 1830 may be provided on either the first substrate 1191 or the second substrate 1192 of the circuit board 1190 (e.g., 191). For example, the controller 1835 may be provided on, coupled to, or fixed to the first surface of the circuit board 1800. The first surface may be a surface facing the magnet 1310 or the OIS moving unit (e.g., a lens module).

[0723] The controller 1835 may be conductively connected to the coil 1230 and may supply a driving signal to the coil 1230. For example, the controller 1835 may be conductively connected to the coil units 1230A and 1230B, may supply a first driving signal to the first coil unit 1230A, and may supply a second driving signal to the second coil unit 1230B.

[0724] The controller 1835 may be conductively connected to the position sensor 1240 .

[0725] For example, the controller 1835 may supply power or a driving signal to the position sensor 1240. For example, the controller 1835 may supply power or a driving signal to each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B.

[0726] The controller 1835 may receive an output signal from the position sensor 1240 and may use the output signal from the position sensor 1240 to control the drive signal (e.g., drive current) supplied to the coil 1230. For example, the controller 1835 may receive an output signal from the first sensor 1240A and may use the output signal from the first sensor 1240A to control the first drive signal (e.g., first drive current) supplied to the first coil unit 1230A. Additionally, the controller 1835 may receive an output signal from the second sensor 1240B and may use the output signal from the second sensor 1240B to control the second drive signal (e.g., second drive current) supplied to the second coil unit 1230B.

[0727] In another embodiment, each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B can 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 can 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. For example, in an embodiment in which each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the controller 1835 can be omitted, the first sensor 1240A can supply a drive signal to the first coil unit 1230A, and the second sensor 1240B can include a drive signal to the second coil unit 1230B. In addition, each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B can include first and second terminals to which power or a drive signal is input, a third terminal for a clock signal, a fourth terminal for a data signal, and fifth and sixth terminals configured to supply a drive signal to the coil unit 230A or 230B.

[0728] The circuit board 1190 may include a terminal unit 1085. The terminal unit 1085 may include a plurality of terminals P1 to Pn (n is a natural number greater than 1). For example, the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn may be provided on at least one of the first substrate 1191 and the second substrate 1192 of the circuit board 1190. For example, the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn may be provided on a lower portion of the first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190. For example, the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn may be exposed from the side plate 1302 of the cover member 1300.

[0729] At least one of the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn may be conductively connected to the controller 1835 .

[0730] If each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B of the position sensor 1240 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B may be conductively connected to at least another one of the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn.

[0731] In another embodiment, at least one of the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn may be conductively connected to the coil 1230 , and at least one of the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn may be conductively connected to the position sensor 1240 .

[0732] The camera device 1200 may include a separate circuit board (not shown) conductively connected to the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn. For example, the separate circuit board may be disposed below the housing 1210 and may include terminals conductively connected to the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn via a conductive adhesive. For example, the circuit board 1800 may be represented by any one of the first to third circuit boards (e.g., "first circuit board"), the circuit board 1190 may be represented by another one of the first to third circuit boards (e.g., "second circuit board"), and the separate circuit board may be represented by another one of the first to third circuit boards (e.g., "third circuit board").

[0733] In an embodiment, since a separate controller 1835 and / or circuit board 1190 configured to drive the coil 1230 and the position sensor 1240 is provided, wiring configured to drive the coil 1230 and the position sensor 1240 can be omitted from the second substrate 1802 of the circuit board 1800. This can reduce the width W1 of the second substrate 1802 of the circuit board 1800. Figure 23 and Figure 31a For example, the width W1 of the second substrate 1802 may be the length of the second substrate 1802 in the second direction (eg, the X-axis direction). The width W1 of the second substrate 1802 may be perpendicular to the optical axis (or the optical axis direction) and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the second substrate 1802.

[0734] In another embodiment, the controller 1835 can be set on a third circuit board, and the coil 1230 and the position sensor 1240 can be conductively connected to terminals P1 to Pn of the second circuit board 1190, and can be conductively connected to the controller 1835 via a third circuit board (or terminals of the third circuit board) conductively connected to the terminals.

[0735] In an embodiment, since the width W1 of the second substrate 1802 can be reduced, the elastic modulus of the second substrate 1802 of the circuit board 1800 can be reduced, which can facilitate the movement of the OIS moving unit when performing OIS. In other words, since the width W1 of the second substrate 1802 can be designed to be very small, the elastic force or elastic modulus of the second substrate 1802 of the circuit board 1800 that supports the OIS moving unit can be easily designed. For example, the width W1 of the second substrate 1802 can be designed to be very small to reduce the elastic force or elastic modulus of the second substrate 1802, which can facilitate the use of a smaller driving force for OIS operation and reduce the power consumption required for OIS operation. The driving force can be the force generated by the interaction between the coil 1230 and the magnet 1310.

[0736] The camera apparatus 1200 may include a movement restraining portion 1080 coupled to at least a portion of the housing 1210. The movement restraining portion 1080 may restrain movement or motion of at least a portion of the fourth substrate 1804 to restrain deformation of the shape of at least a portion of the four...
