CAMERA MODULE, DUAL CAMERA MODULE, OPTICAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A DUAL CAMERA MODULE

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The teachings in accordance with exemplary and non-limiting embodiments of this invention relate generally to a camera module, a dual camera module, an optical device and a method for manufacturing a dual camera module.[Background Art]

[0002] This section provides background information related to the present invention, which is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] Concomitant with generalization of wide use of various mobile terminals, and commercialization of wireless internet services, demands by consumers related to mobile terminals are also diversified to allow various types of peripheral devices to be mounted on the mobile terminals. Among the representative items thereof, there is mentioned a camera module capturing a subject in a picture or a video. The camera module include an AF (Auto Focus) camera module having a function of performing an AF function automatically adjusting a focus in response to a distance to a subject, and an OIS (Optical image stabilization) camera module having a function correcting handshake of a user when a subject is captured.

[0004] The conventional dual camera module suffers from disadvantages in that there is no way to adjust two image sensors subsequent to alignment thereof after the two image sensors are mounted on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and the alignment between the two image sensors becomes twisted due to heat or shock.

[0005] Moreover, when two lens driving devices are proximately arranged for obtainment of good performance of dual camera, a magnetic force of a magnet on any one lens driving device of two lens driving devices problematically affects the other lens driving device.

[0006] Still another problem is that a distance between an upper end of an image sensor and a lower end of lens may be shortened in a camera module depending on design, and in this case, a wire applying a power to the image sensors and the PCB may problematically interfere with a sensor base.

[0007] The current trend is that, concomitant with requirement of high performance of lens in a camera module, each diameter of the lens and a lens barrel becomes increased. However, unlike the increased diameter of lens and the lens barrel, an adhesive area between a lens driving device and a sensor base becomes relatively decreased to disadvantageously generate the disengagement of lens driving device during drop test or tumble test.

[0008] US 2016018720 A1 discloses a dual-aperture camera with two camera modules including each a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator coupled to respective lens barrels and a magnetic shield plate positioned tightly between the two camera modules. US 2015316745 A1 discloses a voice coil motor array module including a carrier, and a plurality of voice coil motors disposed on the carrier and arranged side by side in at least one row along an arrangement direction. EP 2955557 A1 discloses a lens moving device including: a bobbin; a first driving unit coupled to the bobbin; a second driving unit configured to move the first driving unit through an electromagnetic interaction with the first driving unit; a sensing magnet disposed on one side of the bobbin; a location detection sensor configured to sense a location of the sensing magnet; and a correction magnet disposed on an opposite side of the bobbin. EP 3035109 A1 discloses a lens moving device including a bobbin provided at an outer circumferential surface thereof with a first coil, a first position sensor disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the bobbin and spaced apart from the first coil, a first magnet disposed so as to be opposite to the first position sensor, a second magnet disposed so as to be opposite to the first coil, the second magnet being configured to move the bobbin in a direction parallel to an optical axis via electromagnetic interaction with the first coil, a housing configured to support the first magnet and the second magnet; and upper and lower elastic members coupled to the bobbin and the housing, wherein the first position sensor is moved along with the bobbin.[Detailed Description of the Invention][Technical Solution]

The third substrate (300) may be electrically connected to an outside element through the connector (30). The third substrate (300) may have flexibility. The third substrate (300) may be an FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board).

[0058] The third substrate (300) may be integrally formed with the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200). That is, the first substrate (100), the second substrate (200) and the third substrate (300) may be formed with an RFPCB (Rigid Flexible Printed Circuit Board).

[0059] The third substrate (300) may comprise a body part (310), a first connection part (320) and a second connection part (330). However, the body part (310), the first connection part (320) and the second connection part (330) may be omitted or changed from the third substrate (300).

[0060] The body part (310) may be coupled to an outside element of dual camera. The body part (310) may be disposed with a connector (30) connected to an outside. The body part (310) may be integrally formed with the first connection part (320) and the second connection part (330).

[0061] The first connection part (320) may be extended from the body part (310). The first connection part (320) may be integrally formed with the body part (310). The first connection part (320) may be connected to the first substrate (100). The first connection part (320) may be spaced apart from the second connection part (330). A space may be formed between the first connection part (320) and the second connection part (330). That is, the third substrate (300) may comprise a groove recessed to a body part (310) side by the body part (310), the first connection part (320) and the second connection part (330). The first connection part (320) may be connected to the third side surface (102) of the first substrate (100).

[0063] The connection unit (400) may be so connected as to allow the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) to be moved within a mutually limited scope. In this case, there is an advantageous effect of aligning the first image sensor (10) and the second image sensor (20), even in a state where the first image sensor (10) is mounted on the first substrate (100) and the second image sensor (20) is mounted on the second substrate (200), when compared with a case where the connection unit (400) is omitted, and the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) are connected by an RPCB. Meantime, the connection unit (400) may restrict the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) from mutually moving to a horizontal direction while allowing each of the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) to tilt within a predetermined scope.

[0064] Recently, researches are being briskly waged on a dual camera module where an AF camera module and an OIS camera module are disposed in parallel. Meanwhile, an image sensor is individually used to each camera module in the said dual camera module, where the flatness of PCB greatly affects the alignment between the said two image sensors. However, even if there is a change in the flatness of PCB, the first image sensor (10) and the second image sensor (20) can be aligned according to the present exemplary embodiment.

[0065] The connection unit (400) may be extended from the first substrate (100). The connection unit (400) may be extended from the first side surface (101) of first substrate (100). The connection unit (400) may be extended from the second substrate (200). The connection unit (400) may be extended from the second side surface (201) of second substrate (200). The connection unit (400) may connect the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200). The connection unit (400) may connect the first side surface (101) of first substrate (100) and the second side surface (201) of second substrate (200). At this time, the first side surface (101) of first substrate (100) and the second side surface (201) of second substrate may be faced each other. The connection unit (400) may be integrally formed with the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200). The connection unit (400) may have insulation property. The connection unit (400) may not be formed with a conductive line.

[0066] The connection unit (400) may comprise a first moving part (410) and a second moving part (420). However, any one or more of the first moving part (410) and the second moving part (420) may be omitted or changed from the connection unit (400). Furthermore, the first moving part (410) and the second moving part (420) may not be spaced apart and instead may be integrally formed.

[0067] The first moving part (410) may be spaced apart from the second moving part (420). A cross-sectional area of the first moving part (410) may grow smaller on at least a portion thereof as being distanced from the first substrate (100). At this time, the cross-sectional area may be in parallel with the first side surface (101). That is, each cross-sectional area of the cross-section parallel with the first side surface (101) may grow smaller on at least a portion thereof as being spaced apart from the first and second moving parts (410, 420). The first moving part (410) may grow smaller on at least a portion thereof as being distanced from the second substrate (200). The first moving part (410) may have a same thickness as that of the first substrate (100) at an area meeting the first substrate (100). The first moving part (410) may have a thinner thickness than that of the first substrate (100) at an area spaced apart from the first substrate (100). A width of the first moving part (410) may be narrower at an area spaced apart from the first substrate (100) than that of an area joined by the first substrate (100). The first moving part (410) may have a same thickness at an area joined by the second substrate (200) as that of the second substrate (200). The first moving part (410) may be thinner in thickness at an area spaced apart from the second substrate (200) than the second substrate (200). The width of first moving part (410) may be narrower at an area spaced apart from the second substrate (200) than that of an area joined by the second substrate (200).

[0068] The second moving part (420) may be spaced apart from the first moving part (410). A cross-sectional area of the second moving part (420) may grow smaller on at least a portion thereof as being distanced from the first substrate (100). The second part (420) may grow smaller on at least a portion of cross-sectional area as being distanced from the second substrate (200). The second moving part (420) may have a same thickness as that of the first substrate (100) at an area meeting the first substrate (100). The second moving part (420) may have a thinner thickness than that of the first substrate (100) at an area spaced apart from the first substrate (100). A width of the second moving part (420) may be narrower at an area spaced apart from the first substrate (100) than that of an area joined by the first substrate (100). The second moving part (420) may have a same thickness at an area joined by the first substrate (100) as an area spaced apart from the first substrate (100). The second moving part (420) may be thinner in thickness at an area spaced apart from the second substrate (200) than the first substrate (100). The width of the second moving part (420) may be narrower at an area spaced apart from the second substrate (200) than that of an area joined by the second substrate (200).

[0069] An area where the first moving part (410) meets the first side surface (101) and an area where the second moving part (420) meets the first side surface may be symmetrical about the first side surface (101). In this case, the horizontal movement of the first moving part (410) and the second moving part (420) may be more restricted compared with a case of the first moving part (410) and the second moving part (420) being leaned to a corner of one side of the first side surface (101). In other words, when any one of the first moving part (410) and the second moving part (420) is omitted, or both the first moving part (410) and the second moving part (420) are disposed to be leaned to a corner of one side of the first side surface (101), the shape itself of the first moving part (100) and the second moving (200) being disposed in parallel may be dispersed. In the present exemplary embodiment, the first moving part (410) and the second moving part (420) can couple the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) in balance, whereby the shape of the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) being arranged in parallel can be always maintained, and if necessary, any one of the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) may be tilted to realize the alignment of the first image sensor (10) and the second image sensor (20).

[0070] As illustrated in FIG. 1, a width (L2) of connection unit (400) may be wider by at least 50% than a width (L1) of the first substrate (100). A length (L2) of connection unit (400) to a width direction may be longer by at least 50% than a length (L1) of the first side surface of first substrate (100) to a long side direction. A width (L2) of connection unit (400) may be a distance to a distal end of the other side of the second moving part (420) from a distal end of one side of the first moving part (410). At this time, one side of first moving part (410) is a direction distancing from the second moving part (420), and the other side of the second moving part (420) may be a direction distancing from the first moving part (410). Alternatively, the connection unit (400) may take a shape where a space between the first moving part (410) and the second moving part (420) is omitted and the first moving part (410) and the second moving part (420) are integrally formed. At this time, a width of connection unit (400) may be a distance from a distal end of one side of connection unit (400) to a distal end of the other side of the connection unit (400).

[0071] The dual camera module may further comprise a stiffener (40).

[0072] The stiffener (40) may be disposed at a lower surface of first substrate (100) and at a lower surface of second substrate (200). The stiffener (40) may be disposed with the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200). A top surface of stiffener (40) may be disposed with the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200). The stiffener (40) may be coupled to a lower surface of first substrate (100) and to a lower surface of second substrate (200). The stiffener (40) may be formed with a flat shape. The stiffener (40) may comprise a flat plate shape. The stiffener (40) may be a substrate. The stiffener (40) may have rigidity. An epoxy (not shown) for AA (Active Alignment) may be interposed between the stiffener (40) and the first substrate (100) and between the stiffener (40) and the second substrate (200). That is, the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) may be coupled to the stiffener (40) by the epoxy for active alignment. For example, the first substrate (100) is first coupled to the stiffener (40), and epoxy may be hardened after a coupled state of second substrate (200) is adjusted in order to align the first image sensor (10) and the second image sensor (20) while the second substrate (200) is preliminarily coupled by the epoxy. Conversely, the second substrate (200) is first coupled to the stiffener (40), and epoxy may be hardened after a coupled state of first substrate (100) is adjusted in order to align the first image sensor (10) and the second image sensor (20) while the first substrate (100) is preliminarily coupled by the epoxy. The stiffener (40) may be integrally formed and a top surface of stiffener (40) may be coupled by the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) while an optical axis of first image sensor (10) and an optical axis of the second image sensor (20) are aligned.

The terminal part (1624) of the first lens driving device (1000) may be coupled to the terminal (110) of first substrate (100) via soldering. The terminal (110) of first substrate (100) may be disposed at an opposite side of a third side surface (102) on a top surface of first substrate (100). A terminal part (2412) of second lens driving device (2000) may be coupled to a terminal (210) of second substrate (200). The terminal part (2412) of second lens driving device (2000) may be coupled to the terminal (210) of second substrate (200) via soldering.

Alternatively, a separate holder member may be interposed between the first lens driving device (1000) and the first substrate (100). The second lens driving device (2000) may be coupled to the second substrate (200) mounted with the second image sensor (20) using an epoxy. The second lens driving device (2000) may be aligned with the second image sensor (20) using the epoxy. The second lens driving device (2000) may be directly accommodated to a top surface of second substrate (200). Alternatively, a separate holder member may be interposed between the second lens driving device (2000) and the second substrate (200).

[0080] The first infrared filter may prevent a light of infrared region from being incident on the first image sensor (10). The first infrared filter may be interposed between the first lens module and the first image sensor (10). The first infrared filter may be disposed at a holder member (not shown) separately disposed from a first base (1500). However, the first infrared filter may be mounted on an opening (1510) formed at a center of the first base (1500). The first infrared filter may be formed with a film material or glass material. The infrared filter may be formed by coating an infrared cut-off coating material on a flat optical filter such as protective cover glass and cover glass. The first infrared may be an infrared cut-off filter or an infrared absorption filter.

[0081] The first controller may be mounted on the first substrate (100). The first controller may be disposed at an outside of the first lens driving device (1000). However, the first controller may be also disposed at an inside of the first lens driving device (1000). The first controller may control the direction, intensity and amplitude of a current supplied to each element forming the first lens driving device (1000). The first controller may perform any one or more of the AF function and the OIS function of first camera module by controlling the first lens driving device (1000). That is, the first controller may move or tilt the first lens module to an optical axis direction or to a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction by controlling the first lens driving device (1000). Furthermore, the first controller may perform the feedback control of the AF function and OIS function. To be more specific, the first controller may provide a more accurate AF function by controlling a power or a current applied to a first coil (1220) through reception of position of first bobbin (1210) detected by a Hall sensor (not shown).

[0082] The first lens driving device (1000) may comprise a first cover member (1100), a mover (1200), a stator (1300), a third magnet unit (1410), a fourth magnet unit (1420), a first base (1500) and an AF support member (1600).

Moreover, the third magnet unit (1410) and the fourth magnet unit (1420) may be omitted from a second modification.

[0083] The first lens driving device (1000) may be an AF module. At this time, the second lens driving device (2000) may be an OIS module. Here, the OIS module may also perform an AF function. However, the first lens driving device (1000) may be an OIS module. The second lens driving device (2000) may be an AF module. That is, any one of the first lens driving device (1000) and the second lens driving device (2000) may be an AF module and the other may be an OIS module. Alternatively, both the first lens driving device (1000) and the second lens driving device (2000) may be an AF module.

[0085] The first cover member (1100) may form an external shape of the first lens driving device (1000). The first cover member (1100) may take a bottom-opened cubic shape. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The first cover member (1100) may be a non-magnetic substance. If the first cover member (1100) is formed with a magnetic substance, the magnetic force of first cover member (110) may affect the second magnetic unit (2320) of the second lens driving device (2000). The first cover member (1100) may be formed with a metal material. To be more specific, the first cover member (1100) may be formed with a metal plate. In this case, the first cover member (1100) may shield an EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference). Because of this characteristic of the first cover member (1100), the first cover member (1100) may be called an "EMI shield can". The first cover member (1100) can shield radio waves generated from outside of the first lens driving device from being introduced into the first cover member (1100). Furthermore, the first cover member (1100) may shield radio waves generated from inside of the first cover member (1100) from being discharged to outside of the first cover member (1100).

Through this structure, the first cover member (1100) can protect inner elements from an outside shock and simultaneously prevent an outside foreign object from being inwardly introduced. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a lower end of the side plate (1102) of the first cover member (1100) may be directly coupled to a first substrate (100) disposed at a lower side of the first base (1500). Some portions of a plurality of side plates may face a second cover member (2100).

[0088] The opening (1110) may be formed on an upper plate (1101). The opening (1110) may expose the first lens module. The opening (1110) may be formed to correspond in shape to the first lens module. The size of opening (1110) may be formed to be greater than a diameter of the first lens module in order to allow the first lens module to be assembled through the opening (1110). Meantime, a light having introduced through the opening (1110) may pass through the first lens module. At this time, the light having passed the first lens module may be obtained as an image by a first image sensor.

[0089] The extension part (1120) may be extended by being downwardly bent from an inside of the upper plate (1101). The extension part (1120) may be called an "inner yoke". At least a portion of the extension part (1120) may be inserted into a groove formed on a first bobbin (1210). Through this structure, the first bobbin (1210) may be prevented from being rotated in the process of the first lens module being screw-connected to the first bobbin (1210). In addition, the extension part (1120) can prevent the first bobbin (1210) from rotating relative to the first cover member (1100).

The first bobbin (1210) may be coupled by the first coil (1220). A lower surface of first bobbin (1210) may be coupled by a first lower support member (1620). A top surface of first bobbin (1210) may be coupled by a first upper support member (1610). The first bobbin (1210) may move to an optical axis direction relative to the first housing (1310).

[0093] The first bobbin (1210) may comprise a through hole (1211) and a coil reception part (1212). However, any one or more of the through hole (1211) and the coil reception part (1212) may be omitted or changed from the first bobbin (1210).

[0094] The through hole (1211) may be formed at an inside of the first bobbin (1210). The through hole (1211) may be formed with an upper / bottom opened shape. The through hole (1211) may be coupled by the first lens module. An inside of the through hole (1211) may be formed with a screw thread with a shape corresponding to that formed on an outside of the first lens module. That is, the through hole (1211) may be screw-connected to the first lens module. An adhesive may be interposed between the first lens module and the first bobbin (1210). At this time, the adhesive may be an epoxy hardened by UV (ultraviolet), heat or laser beam. That is, the first lens module and the first bobbin (1210) may be adhered by UV-hardened epoxy and / or thermally hardened epoxy.

[0185] Hereinafter, a manufacturing method of dual camera module will be described.

[0186] The manufacturing method of dual camera module may comprise: mounting the first image sensor (10) on the first substrate (100) and mounting the second image sensor (20) on the second substrate (20) spaced apart from the first substrate (100) and connected by the first substrate (100) and the connection unit (400); coupling the first lens driving device (1000) coupled by the first lens module to the first substrate (100); coupling the second lens driving device (2000) coupled by the second lens module to the second substrate (200); coupling the first substrate (100) to the stiffener (40); and coupling the second substrate (200) to the stiffener (40).

[0187] The step of coupling the first lens driving device (1000) to the first substrate (100) may comprise a step of aligning the first lens module and the first image sensor (10) to harden a first epoxy (not shown) while the first substrate (100) and the first lens driving device (1000) are preliminarily adhered by the first epoxy.

[0192] A total of three times of active alignments may be performed to allow an alignment between the first camera module and the second camera module to be completed. Because a connection unit flexibly connects the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) in these processes, a mutual alignment can be performed even through each of the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) is coupled to the first lens driving device (1000) and the second lens driving device (2000). On the other hand, the connection unit (400) limits the mutual movement of the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200), a remaining substrate may be prevented from being deviated from a normal position, while any one substrate of the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) is first fixed to the stiffener (40).

[0193] Hereinafter, configuration of dual camera module according to a modification will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0194] FIG. 13 is a perspective view illustrating a PCB of a dual camera module according to a modification and a related configuration thereof.

[0195] The dual camera module according to the modification may comprise a first image sensor (10), a first substrate (100), a second image sensor (20), a second substrate (200) and a third substrate (300). That is, the dual camera module according to the modification may take a configuration where the connection unit (400) is omitted compared with the dual camera module according to the exemplary embodiment. Meantime, any configuration corresponding to the present exemplary embodiment in the configuration of the modification may be inferably applied from the explanation of the present exemplary embodiment.

[0196] The modification also has an advantageous effect of alignment after mounting the first and second image sensors (10, 20) as in the present exemplary embodiment. However, in comparison with the exemplary embodiment, because the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) are connected only by the third substrate, there is a disadvantage in that it is difficult to maintain the parallel alignment of the first substrate (100) and the second substrate (200) in the steps of transferring the first and second substrates (100, 200) and of coupling the first and second substrates (100, 200) to the stiffener (40).

However, the dual camera module according to another modification may be different from the dual camera module according to the present exemplary embodiment in that there is a difference in the shape of third substrate (300). Meantime, any configuration corresponding to the present exemplary embodiment in the configuration of another modification may be inferably applied from the explanation of the present exemplary embodiment.

[0200] The third substrate (300) may comprise a first connection part (340) and a second connection part (350). That is, the third substrate (300) according to another modification may take a shape where the body part (310) is omitted compared with the third substrate (300) in the present exemplary embodiment. Moreover, the connector (30) may be omitted. The first connection part (340) of third substrate (300) according to another modification may correspond to the first connection part (320) according to the present exemplary embodiment, and the second connection part (350) of third substrate (300) according to another modification may correspond to the second connection part (330) of the third substrate (300) according to the present exemplary embodiment.

[0201] The first connection part (340) may be electrically connected to an outside element using a connector connecting part bonding using an ACF. The first connection part (340) may be connected to the first substrate (100). The first connection part (340) may be spaced apart from the second connection part (330). A space may be disposed between the first connection part (340) and the second connection part (350). The first connection part (340) may be connected to a third side surface (102) of first substrate (100). The first connection part (340) may be connected to a third side surface (102) by being leaned to a corner of a side near to the second substrate (200) in both corners of the third side surface (102).

[0202] The first connection part (350) may be electrically connected to an outside element via a connector connection part bonding using an ACF.

Through this structure, the first image sensor may obtain a light having passed the first lens module. The first image sensor may output the irradiated light as an image. The first image sensor may be a CCD (charge coupled device), a MOS (metal oxide semi-conductor), a CPD and a CID. However, the types of first image sensor are not limited thereto.

[0213] The first controller may be mounted on the first PCB (3001). The first controller may be disposed at an outside of the first lens driving device (3000). However, the first controller may be also disposed at an inside of the first lens driving device (3000).

That is, the first controller may move or tilt the first lens module to a direction perpendicular to an optical axis by controlling the first lens driving device (3000). Moreover, the first controller may perform a feedback control of OIS function. To be more specific, the first controller may provide a more accurate OIS function by controlling a power or a current applied to a second coil (3422) through reception of position of first housing (3310) detected by a first OIS feedback sensor (3800).

[0219] The first cover member (3100) may be accommodated into an inside of the first housing (3310). The first cover member (3100) may form an external shape of the first lens driving device (3000). The first cover member (3100) may take a bottom-opened cubic shape. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0220] The first cover member (3100) may be of a non-magnetic substance. The first cover member (3100) may be formed with a metal material. To be more specific, the first cover member (3100) may be formed with a metal plate. In this case, the first cover member (3100) may shield an EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference). Because of this characteristic of the first cover member (3100), the first cover member (3100) may be called an "EMI shield can". The first cover member (3100) can shield radio waves generated from outside of the first lens driving device (3000) from being introduced into the first cover member (3100). Furthermore, the first cover member (3100) may shield radio waves generated from inside of the first cover member (3100) from being discharged to outside of the first cover member (3100).

The through hole (3211) may be coupled by the first lens module. An inner periphery surface of the through hole (3211) may be formed with a screw thread with a shape corresponding to that formed on an outer periphery surface of the first lens module. That is, the through hole (3211) may be screw-connected by the first lens module. An adhesive may be interposed between the first lens module and the first bobbin (3210). At this time, the adhesive may be an epoxy hardened by UV (ultraviolet), heat or laser beam.

The driving part coupling part (3212) may be formed with a groove by allowing a portion of an outer periphery surface of first bobbin (3210) to be inwardly recessed. At this time, the driving part coupling part (3212) may be accommodated by at least a portion of the first coil (3220). The driving part coupling part (3212) may be integrally formed with an outer periphery surface of first bobbin (3210). For example, the driving part coupling part (3212) may be continuously formed along an outer periphery surface of first bobbin (3210). At this time, the driving part coupling part (3212) may be wound with the first coil (3220). In another example, the driving part coupling part (3212) may be formed in a plural number and formed to be mutually spaced apart. At this time, the first coil (3220) may be also formed in a plural number to be respectively coupled to the driving part coupling part (3212). In still another example, the driving part coupling part (3212) may be formed in an upper / bottom opened shape.

For example, a protrusion of the upper coupling part (3213) may be coupled by being inserted into a groove or a hole of the internal part (3512) of the first upper elastic member (3510). At this time, the protrusion of the upper coupling part (3213) may be fused in a state of being inserted into a hole of the internal part (1512) to allow the first upper elastic member (3510) to be fixed between the fused protrusion and the top surface of first bobbin (3210).

The second support member (4600) may be formed with six (6) support parts (4601, 4602, 4603, 4604, 4605, 4606) each mutually spaced apart. The second support member (4600) may comprise first to sixth support parts (4601, 4602, 4603, 4604, 4605, 4606) each mutually spaced apart.

The first AF feedback sensor (3710) may be disposed at a second corner portion (3306) of the first housing (3310), and the second AF feedback sensor (4710) may be disposed at the sixth corner portion (4306) of the second housing (4310).

Furthermore, in the modification, the first compensation magnet (3740) may be called a "second balancing magnet". In the modification, even if the second AF feedback sensor (4710) is omitted, the second sensing magnet (4730) and the second compensation magnet (4740) may be disposed. At this time, the second sensing magnet (4730) may be a configuration for magnetic force balance instead of a use for feedback function. Thus, in the modification, the second sensing magnet (4730) may be called a "third balancing magnet". Furthermore, in the modification, the second compensation magnet (4740) may be called a "fourth balancing magnet".

[0406] In the modification, the first balancing magnet may be so disposed as to face a corner portion most spaced apart from the third balancing magnet among the plurality of corner portions of the first housing (3310). Furthermore, the third balancing magnet may be so disposed as to face a corner portion most spaced apart from the first balancing magnet among the plurality of corner portions of the second housing (4310).
