[Effects of the Invention]

[0047] In this embodiment, the OIS operating portion is supported by the repulsive force acting between the two magnetic bodies, thereby enabling stable OIS operation.

[0048] In the embodiment, at least a portion of the repulsive magnetic material arranged in the fixed portion is arranged within the opening of the tilting guide portion, so that the repulsive force or holding force for supporting the OIS moving portion can be increased, and stable OIS driving can be performed.

[0049] In the embodiment, at least a portion of the repulsive magnetic material arranged on the support member is arranged within the accommodation portion of the housing, so that the repulsive force or maintaining force for supporting the OIS moving portion can be increased, and stable OIS driving can be performed.

[0050] In this embodiment, the OIS moving unit includes a lens module and an image sensor, so that when the OIS is driven, the lens module and the image sensor can tilt or rotate simultaneously, resulting in no image distortion and 100% image resolution, and enabling wide-angle image stabilization or shake correction.

[0051] In addition, in the embodiment, since the OIS moving unit including the lens module and the image sensor tilts or rotates for shake compensation, even if the camera device is shaken, image degradation does not occur in the center of the image sensor or in the outer periphery of the image sensor (e.g., the corners or corner regions of the image sensor). Therefore, the embodiment enables wideband shake compensation.

[0052] Furthermore, in the embodiment, since image correction without mechanical distortion is possible, the load on the image processing is small, and current consumption can be reduced.

[0053] In addition, in the embodiment, a tilting guide part is used for tilting the OIS moving part, so compared to examples that simply use a ball member or a shaft member, the OIS moving part can be tilted stably, precisely and accurately, thereby improving the reliability of OIS drive.

[0054] In addition, in the embodiment, the flexible substrate of the circuit board includes at least one bent portion, which can reduce the power consumption required to drive the OIS.

[0055] In addition, in the embodiment, the tilting guide portion is arranged within the seat portion of the housing, and the protrusion portion of the housing overlaps with the opening of the tilting guide portion, so that the height or length of the camera device in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0056] In addition, in the embodiment, the driving magnet for image stabilization is arranged at the bottom of the housing rather than at the side of the housing, so the thickness of the side of the housing can be reduced, and therefore the camera device can be designed to be able to mount a large-diameter lens.

[0057] In addition, in the embodiment, since the driving magnet for image stabilization is arranged at the bottom of the housing, it is not limited by the length of the driving magnet in the optical axis direction, and can be designed to reduce the length of the camera device in the optical axis direction.

[0058] In the embodiment, the width of the second substrate of the circuit board connecting the OIS moving part and the fixed part can be designed to be reduced, thereby reducing the elastic modulus and elastic force of the second substrate, and reducing the driving force and power consumption required to drive the OIS.

[0059] In addition, in the embodiment, the tilting guide portion is arranged within the seating portion of the sensor base, and the protrusion of the sensor base overlaps with the opening of the tilting guide portion, so that the height or length of the camera device in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0060] In addition, in the embodiment, at least a portion of the magnetic material is positioned within the opening of the tilting guide portion, so that the attractive force or holding force for supporting the OIS moving portion can be increased, enabling stable OIS driving to be performed.

[0061] When compared with the distance between the protrusions of the tilting guide portion for driving the X-axis or Y-axis, the distance between the protrusions of the tilting guide portion according to the embodiment can be designed to be larger.

[0062] In the embodiment, the distance between the protrusions of the tilting guide part can be designed to be large, thereby increasing the distance (or area) that can support the OIS moving part, and enabling stable OIS operation. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0166] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention that can specifically achieve the above object will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0167] In the description of the embodiments, when an element is described as being "on or under" an element, "on or under" includes both two elements that are in direct contact with each other and one or more other elements that are indirectly disposed between the two elements. Also, when "on or under" is used, it can mean not only above but also below an element.

[0168] Additionally, relational terms such as "first" and "second," "top / upper / upper" and "bottom / lower / lower" used hereinafter do not necessarily require or imply any physical or logical relationship or sequence between such entities or elements, but may be used only to distinguish one entity or element from another. Additionally, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements throughout the description of the figures.

[0169] Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the terms "comprise," "constitute," or "have" used above mean that the corresponding element may be present, and therefore should be interpreted as not excluding other elements but as including other elements. Furthermore, the terms "corresponding" and the like used below may include at least one of the meanings of "opposite" or "overlapping."

[0170] Hereinafter, a camera device and an optical apparatus including the same according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For convenience of explanation, the camera device according to the embodiment will be described using a Cartesian coordinate system (x, y, z). However, other coordinate systems may also be used for explanation, and the embodiment is not limited thereto. In each drawing, the X-axis and Y-axis may refer to directions perpendicular to the Z-axis of the optical axis OA. Furthermore, the Z-axis direction, which is the direction of the optical axis OA, may be referred to as the "first direction," the X-axis direction as the "second direction," and the Y-axis direction as the "third direction." For example, the first direction may be a direction perpendicular to the imaging area of ​​the image sensor.

[0171] Furthermore, the X-axis (or Y-axis) is referred to as the “first axis,” the X-axis (or Y-axis) direction is referred to as the “first axis direction,” the Y-axis (or X-axis) is referred to as the “second axis,” and the Y-axis (or X-axis) direction is referred to as the “second axis direction.” For example, the optical axis direction can be the direction of the optical axis or a direction parallel to the optical axis.

[0172] Also, for example, the optical axis may be the optical axis of a lens attached to a lens barrel. Alternatively, for example, the optical axis may be an axis that is perpendicular to the imaging area of ​​the image sensor and passes through the center of the imaging area. Also, hereinafter, the expression "terminal" may be replaced with "pad," "electrode," or "conductive layer."

[0173] Also, in an embodiment, in a connection between a protrusion and a hole for connecting two components to each other, one of the components may be a connecting protrusion (or a connecting hole) and the other component may be a corresponding connecting hole (or a connecting protrusion).

[0174] The camera device according to the embodiment may have an image stabilization function. The "image stabilization function" may be a function of moving the lens in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or tilting the lens based on the optical axis to offset vibrations (or movements) caused by a user's hand shake. Also, the "autofocusing function" may be a function of automatically focusing on a subject by moving the lens in the optical axis direction depending on the distance to the subject in order to obtain a clear image of the subject on the image sensor. Hereinafter, the "camera device" may be expressed interchangeably as a "camera," "actuator," "camera module," "image capture device," or "camera."

[0176] 1 to 12, the camera device 200 includes a fixed unit, an AF moving unit, an OIS moving unit 100, and a support unit. The OIS moving unit 100 can be expressed interchangeably as a "moving unit," "operating unit," or "swinging unit."

[0177] The fixed portion may be a fixed element. That is, the fixed portion may not move in the optical axis direction. Alternatively, the fixed portion may not move or tilt in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Also, a structure coupled to the fixed portion may correspond to the fixed portion.

[0178] The fixing part may include the housing 210. The fixing part may include the cover member 300. For example, the fixing part may include a configuration disposed on or coupled to the housing 210 or the cover member 300. For example, the fixing part may include any one of the magnet 310, the magnetic body 32, and the movement suppressing part 80 disposed on the housing 210.

[0179] The AF moving unit can move in the optical axis direction relative to the fixed unit. For example, the AF moving unit can include a bobbin 110. In another embodiment, the AF moving unit can further include a structure (e.g., a magnet 130) coupled to the bobbin 110. In another embodiment, the AF moving unit can further include a lens module 400 (see FIG. 4) coupled to the bobbin 110.

[0180] The OIS moving unit 100 (see FIG. 2a) can move or tilt left and right relative to the fixed unit about a first axis (e.g., X-axis (e.g., Pitch)) that intersects with the optical axis (or optical axis direction). The OIS moving unit 100 can also move or tilt left and right relative to the fixed unit about a second axis (e.g., Y-axis (e.g., Yaw)) that intersects with 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.

[0181] For example, the OIS moving unit 100 may include an AF moving unit. The OIS moving unit may also include an image sensor 810. The OIS moving unit may also include a lens module 400. The OIS moving unit 100 may also include a circuit board 800 on which the image sensor 810 is disposed. The OIS moving unit 100 may also include a sensor base 270 on which at least a portion of the circuit board 800 is disposed.

[0182] The OIS moving part may also include a holder 140 coupled to the sensor base 270. The OIS moving part may also include a support member 64 coupled to the sensor base 270.

[0183] Also, for example, the OIS moving unit 100 may include a configuration disposed on or coupled to any one of the holder 140 , the sensor base 270 , the circuit board 800 , the circuit board 800 , and the support member 64 .

[0184] For example, the OIS moving unit may include a coil 230 disposed on the holder 140. For example, the OIS moving unit 100 may include a magnetic body 33 disposed on the support member 64. For example, the OIS moving unit may include any one of an image sensor 810, sensors 170 and 240, coils 120 and 230, a circuit element 815, and a control unit 830 disposed on a circuit board 800.

[0185] Furthermore, the OIS moving unit 100 may include a moving module (or a tilting module) and a support member 64. For example, the moving module (or the tilting module) may include at least one of the remaining components of the OIS moving unit 100 described above, excluding the support member 64.

[0186] For example, the moving module (or tilting module) may include the lens module 400 and the image sensor 810. Also, for example, the moving module (or tilting module) may include the sensor base 270. Also, for example, the moving module (or tilting module) may further include one of the holder 140 and the circuit board 800. For example, the moving module (or tilting module) may tilt based on a first axis intersecting the optical axis direction or a second axis intersecting the optical axis direction and the first axis.

[0187] The OIS movement unit can be expressed as a first movement unit (or a first operation unit), and the AF movement unit can be expressed as a second movement unit (or a second operation unit).

[0188] The support portion can support the OIS moving portion 100 relative to the fixed portion, for example, the support portion can include a tilting guide member 60. For example, the support portion can also include a ball member, a rolling member, or a sliding member (e.g., a shaft).

[0189] The bobbin 110 is for housing a lens or a lens barrel and can be placed in the holder 140. The bobbin 110 can also be referred to interchangeably as a "lens holder" or a "lens carrier."

[0190] 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) due to electromagnetic interaction between the coil 120 and the magnet 130. The coil 120 and the magnet 130 can be an AF driving unit that moves or drives an AF moving unit.

[0191] In addition, the bobbin 110 is included in the OIS moving part, and the bobbin 110 can be tilted based on the first axis or the second axis or rotated by a preset angle.

[0192] 5, the bobbin 110 may include an opening 101 for coupling with the lens module 400. The shape of the opening 101 of the bobbin 110 may match the shape of the lens module 400 to be attached, and may be, for example, but not limited to, a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon.

[0193] 1, the bobbin 110 may include at least one stopper disposed on at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface. The stopper of the bobbin 110 has a structure that protrudes in a first direction or upward (or downward) from the upper surface (or the lower surface) of the bobbin 110, and can prevent the upper surface of the bobbin 110 from directly hitting the inner surface of the upper plate 301 of the cover member 300 (or the lower part of the holder 140).

[0194] The bobbin 110 may include a seat 115 for seating or positioning the magnet 130. For example, the seat 115 may be a groove recessed from the outer surface of the bobbin 110.

[0195] 6, the bobbin 110 may include multiple 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.

[0196] For example, the second side surface 110B may face the first side surface 110A or may be located on the opposite side of the first side surface 110A relative 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 located on the opposite side of the third side surface 110C relative to the optical axis OA. Although FIG. 6 illustrates a bobbin 110 including four sides, other embodiments may include three or five or more sides.

[0197] For example, the seat 115 may be formed on the first side 110A of the bobbin. For example, the lower portion of the seat 115 may be closed without opening at the lower surface of the bobbin 110. Also, the upper portion of the seat 115 may be closed without opening at the upper surface of the bobbin 110. In other embodiments, for example, the seat 115 may include an opening that opens at least at one of the upper surface or the lower surface of the bobbin 110.

[0198] The bobbin 110 may include a receiving portion 112 for receiving at least a portion of the ball member 21. For example, at least a portion of the receiving portion 112 may be disposed on a first side surface 110A of the bobbin 110. The receiving portion 112 may be a groove recessed from an outer surface (e.g., the first side surface 110A) of the bobbin 110. The receiving portion 112 may be interchangeably referred to as an "receiving groove," "groove," or "guide groove." A lubricant (e.g., grease) may be disposed within the receiving portion 112 of the bobbin 110 to reduce friction with the ball member 21.

[0199] For example, the bobbin 110 may include a first receiving portion 112A for receiving the ball member 21A and a second receiving portion 112B for receiving the ball member 21B. For example, the seat 115 may be disposed between the first receiving portion 112A and the second receiving portion 112B.

[0200] For example, the first receiving portion 112A (or the second receiving portion 112B) may include an opening that opens to the top surface of the bobbin 110. In other embodiments, the tops of the receiving portions 112A and 112B may be closed without opening to the top surface of the bobbin 110. For example, the bottoms of the receiving portions 112A and 112B may be closed without opening to the bottom surface of the bobbin 110.

[0201] For example, the receiving portion 112 may be formed to extend in the optical axis direction. For example, the receiving portion 112 may be formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the bobbin 110 and extend in the optical axis direction.

[0202] For example, when viewed from above, the shape of the housing 112 may be, but is not limited to, a triangle, and may be a polygon (e.g., a square, a pentagon, etc.). Alternatively, for example, when viewed from above, the housing 112 may have a "V" or "U" shape.

[0203] 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 110A of the bobbin 110. For example, the magnet 130 may be disposed within or coupled to the seat 115 of the bobbin 110. For example, the magnet 130 may be disposed between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B.

[0204] The shape of the magnet 130 may be, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape that corresponds to the first side surface 110A of the bobbin 110. In another embodiment, for example, at least one of both ends of the magnet 130 may have a tapered shape.

[0205] For example, the magnet 130 may include a first side 13A facing the coil 120 and a second side 13B opposite the first side 13A. The first side 13A of the magnet 130 may be exposed from the first side 110A of the bobbin 110.

[0206] Furthermore, to increase the electromagnetic force, the magnet 130 may be a four-pole magnet. For example, the magnet 130 may include two north poles and two south poles. For example, the magnet 130 may include a first magnet including a north pole and a south pole, a second magnet including a south pole and a north pole, and a partition wall disposed between the first and second magnets. Here, the partition wall is a substantially non-magnetic portion and may include a section with almost no polarity. It may be filled with air or made of a non-magnetic material and may also be referred to as a "neutral zone." For example, the first and second magnets may face each other in the optical axis direction, and the first and second magnets may be disposed such that their opposite polarities face each other in the optical axis direction.

[0207] In another embodiment, magnet 130 may be a two-pole magnet having a naturally formed interface between two opposite polarities. For example, in another embodiment, magnet 130 may include one north pole and one south pole. For example, magnet 130 may be a two-pole magnet divided or arranged with its north and south poles in the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, magnet 130 may be a two-pole magnet divided or arranged with its north and south poles in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0208] The holder 140 may be disposed inside the cover member 300. The holder 140 may include a cavity for accommodating 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 for exposing at least a portion of the bobbin 110 (or the lens module 400). Also, for example, the opening 30A of the holder 140 may expose an imaging area of ​​the image sensor 810. The holder 140 may also be expressed as a "housing."

[0209] For example, the opening 30A may be located in the center or central region of the holder 140. For example, the opening 30A of the holder 140 may be a through-hole or a hollow that penetrates the holder 140 in the optical axis direction. The opening 30A of the holder 140 may have a shape that corresponds to the shape of the bobbin 110, for example, a polygonal shape (e.g., a square or an octagonal shape) or a circular shape (or an elliptical shape), but is not limited thereto, and may have various shapes.

[0210] The holder 140 may include a plurality of sides 41A to 41D. The holder 140 may include a corner located between and connecting two adjacent sides.

[0211] The holder 140 may include a first side 41A corresponding to or facing the first side 110A of the bobbin 110, a second side 41B corresponding to or facing the second side 110B of the bobbin 110, a third side 41C corresponding to or facing the third side 110C of the bobbin 110, and a fourth side 41D corresponding to or facing the fourth side 110D of the bobbin 110.

[0212] The first side 41A (or first side surface or first outer surface) of the holder 140 may be located on the opposite side of the second side 41B (or second side surface or second outer surface) of the holder 140 based on the optical axis, and the third side 41C (or third side surface or third outer surface) of the holder 140 may be located on the opposite side of the fourth side 41D (or fourth side surface or fourth outer surface) of the holder 140 based on the optical axis.

[0213] 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.

[0214] 7a and 7b, the holder 140 may include a seat 142A for disposing the coil 120. For example, the seat 142A may be disposed or formed on the first side 41A of the holder 140. For example, the seat 142A may be a through-hole that penetrates the first side 41A of the holder 140. Because the seat 142A is in the form of a through-hole, no part of the holder 140 is interposed between the coil 120 and the magnet 130, thereby increasing the electromagnetic force between the magnet 130 and the coil 120. In addition, because no part of the holder 140 is interposed between the position sensor 170 and the magnet 130, the output of the position sensor 170 may be increased, thereby improving the sensitivity of the position sensor 170.

[0215] In another embodiment, the seat 142A may be a groove recessed from the outer surface (or inner surface) of the first side 41A of the holder 140.

[0216] The holder 140 may include a groove 142 in which at least a portion of the circuit board 800, for example, at least a portion of the second board 802, is disposed. Because at least a portion of the second board 802 is disposed in the groove 142 of the holder 140, the second board 802 and the magnetic body 82 may not protrude from the outer surface of the first side 41A of the holder 140 or may not protrude excessively from the outer surface of the first side 41A. That is, the second board 802 and the magnetic body 82 may protrude less than the sum of the thickness of the second board 802 and the thickness of the magnetic body 82 from the outer surface of the first side 41A of the holder 140. This prevents the size of the camera device 200 from increasing in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0217] 7a and 7b, the holder 140 may include a receiving portion 116 for disposing or receiving at least another portion of the ball member 21. 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 groove recessed from the inner surface of the holder 140 (e.g., the inner surface of the first side portion 41A). The receiving portion 116 may also be referred to as an "accommodating groove," "groove," or "guide groove."

[0218] At least a portion of the receiving portion 116 of the holder 140 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the receiving portion 112 of the bobbin 110 .

[0219] For example, the holder 140 may include a first receiving portion 116A for receiving at least another portion of the first rolling members B1 and B2 and a second receiving portion 116B for receiving at least another portion of the second rolling 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.

[0220] For example, the first receiving portion 116A (or the second receiving portion 116B) may include an opening that opens to the top surface of the holder 140. In other embodiments, the top of the receiving portion 116 may be closed without opening to the top surface of the holder 140. For example, the bottom of the receiving portion 116 may be closed without opening to the bottom surface of the holder 140.

[0221] For example, the receiving portion 116 may be formed to extend in the optical axis direction. For example, the receiving portion 116 may be formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the holder 140 and extend in the optical axis direction.

[0222] 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 may be a polygon (e.g., a square or a pentagon, etc.). Alternatively, for example, when viewed from above, the receiving portion 116 may be "V"-shaped or "U"-shaped.

[0223] For example, when viewed in the optical axis direction or from above, the receiving portion 116 may face 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.

[0224] Camera device 200 may include a ball member 21 disposed between bobbin 110 and holder 140. Ball member 21 may be expressed interchangeably as a "rolling member," a "support member," a "slide member," a "ball," or a "ball bearing."

[0225] At least a portion of the ball member 21 can contact the bobbin 110 and the holder 140, and can support movement of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction by rolling or rotating between the bobbin 110 and the holder 140. When the bobbin 110 moves in the optical axis direction, the ball member 21 can reduce friction between the bobbin 110 and the holder 140. The rolling or rotation of the ball member 21 allows the bobbin 110 to slide or glide in the optical axis direction while in contact with the ball member 21.

[0226] For example, the ball member 21 may be made of, but is not limited to, a metal material, a plastic material, or a resin material. 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.

[0227] 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 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.

[0228] For example, at least a portion of the ball member 21 may contact the receiving portion 112 of the bobbin 110 , and at least another portion of the ball member 21 may contact the receiving portion 116 of the holder 140 .

[0229] The ball member 21 can include at least one ball member, for example, the ball member 21 can include two or more ball members B1 to B4.

[0230] 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 holder 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 holder 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.

[0231] The second ball member 21B may include at least one ball. For example, the second ball member 21B may include multiple balls B3 and B4. In other embodiments, each of the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may include one ball.

[0232] 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 highest ball located at the top, a lowest ball located at the bottom, and at least one intermediate ball located between the highest and lowest balls. For example, the diameter of the highest ball may be larger than the diameter of the intermediate ball, and the diameter of the lowest ball may be larger than the diameter of the intermediate ball. Also, for example, the diameters of the highest ball and the lowest ball may be the same. In another embodiment, the diameters of the highest ball, the lowest ball, and the intermediate ball may be the same.

[0233] For example, each of the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may include a first ball (highest ball), a second ball (lowest ball), and a third ball (middle ball) arranged in the optical axis direction, and the diameter of the first ball may be larger than the diameter of the third ball. Also, the diameter of the second ball may be larger than the diameter of the third ball. For example, the diameters of the first ball and the third ball may be the same. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first ball may be larger than the diameter of the second ball. In yet another embodiment, the diameter of the first ball may be smaller than the diameter of the second ball. In yet another embodiment, the diameters of the first ball, the second ball, and the third ball may be the same.

[0234] For example, the diameter of the first ball and the diameter of the second ball may each be 0.85 mm or more and 0.95 mm or less, and the diameter of the third ball may be 0.75 mm or more and 0.85 mm or less.

[0235] In yet another embodiment, each of the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may include four balls, with the diameter of the highest ball and the diameter of the lowest ball each being 0.85 mm or more and 0.95 mm or less, and the diameter of each of the two intermediate balls being 0.75 mm or more and 0.85 mm or less.

[0236] 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 is because when the bobbin 110 moves in the optical axis direction, the ball member 21 stably supports the bobbin 110 without tilting or moving the bobbin 110, thereby improving the reliability of autofocusing.

[0237] In other embodiments, each of the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may have the form of a shaft or a roller. Alternatively, other embodiments may include a sliding member (e.g., a shaft or a roller) instead of the ball members 21A and 21B.

[0238] The camera device 200 may include a magnetic body 82 that exerts an attractive force on the magnet 130. For example, an attractive force may act between the magnetic body 82 and the magnet 130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis (or a second direction). For example, the magnetic body 82 may be disposed in the holder 140. In another embodiment, the magnetic body 82 may be disposed in the housing 210.

[0239] The magnetic body 82 may be made of a material that is attracted to a magnet. For example, the magnetic body 82 may be made of a metal material that is attracted to a magnet. Alternatively, for example, the magnetic body 82 may be made of a metal material that has magnetic properties. Alternatively, for example, the magnetic body 82 may be a magnet. The magnetic body 82 may be expressed interchangeably as a "yoke." The magnetic body 82 may also serve to increase or enhance the electromagnetic force between the magnet 130 and the coil 120.

[0240] The magnet 130 is disposed on the bobbin 110, and the magnetic body 82 is disposed on the holder 140. The attractive force acting between the magnetic body 82 and the magnet 130 pulls the bobbin 110 toward the holder 140 on which the magnetic body 82 is disposed. The attractive force between the magnetic body 82 and the magnet 130 allows the bobbin 110 and the holder 140 to press the rolling member 21, thereby stably supporting the bobbin 110. The magnetic body 82 and the magnet 130 may be a "pressing unit" or a "pressing member." When the bobbin 110 moves in the optical axis direction due to this pressing unit, contact can be maintained between the bobbin 110 and the ball member 21, and between the holder 140 and the ball member 21. That is, the attractive force between the magnet 130 and the magnetic body 82 allows the ball member 21 to stably support the bobbin 110 relative to the holder 140.

[0241] 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 body 82 may be disposed on the holder 140 together with the magnet 130. For example, the magnet 130 may be disposed between the magnetic body 82 and the coil 110. In yet another embodiment, the magnetic body 82 may be disposed on the bobbin 110 together with the coil 120, facing the magnet 130 disposed on the holder 140. In addition, the camera device 200 may further include a current-carrying member, for example, a conductive member, for electrically connecting the coil 120 disposed on the bobbin 110 and the second board 802 of the circuit board 800.

[0242] 7b, the holder 140 may include a seat 45A for seating or positioning the filter 610. The seat 45A may be disposed on or formed on the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the seat 45A may be a groove recessed from the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the seat 45A may include a bottom surface 5A that is stepped in the optical axis direction relative to the lower surface of the holder 140, and a side surface 5B that connects the lower surface of the holder 140 and the bottom surface 5A of the seat 45A. For example, the opening 30A may be formed through the bottom surface 5A of the seat 45A.

[0243] The holder 140 may include a recess 45B disposed or formed in a corner region of the inner surface of the seat 45A. The recess 45B may have a recessed structure in a direction from the optical axis toward the corner region of the inner surface of the seat 45A. The recess 45B may prevent an adhesive (e.g., UV epoxy) used to attach or bond the filter 610 to the seat 45A from overflowing outside the seat 45A.

[0244] The holder 140 may include an escape groove 46 for avoiding spatial interference with the circuit element 815. For example, the escape groove 46 may be disposed or formed on the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the escape groove 46 may be recessed from the lower surface of the holder 140.

[0245] The escape groove 46 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the circuit element 815 in the optical axis direction. For example, the escape groove 46 may be located between the seating portion 45A and an edge of the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the escape groove 46 may include a first escape groove 46A and a second escape groove 46B located on opposite sides of the seating portion 45A or the filter 610. In another embodiment, the escape groove 46 may include four escape grooves located between the opening 30A and the four edges of the holder 140.

[0246] The holder 140 may include a groove 47 corresponding to the protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270. The protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270 and the groove 47 of the holder 140 may serve as a guide for easily assembling the sensor base 270 and the holder 140, and may increase the bonding area and thereby increase the bonding strength between the sensor base 270 and the holder 140.

[0247] For example, the groove 47 may be recessed from the bottom surface of the holder 140. For example, the groove 47 may be disposed or formed in a corner or corner region of the bottom surface of the holder 140. The groove 47 of the holder 140 may have a shape corresponding to the protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270. The holder 140 may also include a groove 48 or hole corresponding to the protrusion 17 of the sensor base 270. For example, the protrusion 17 of the sensor base 270 may be inserted into or coupled with the groove 48 of the holder 140. For example, the groove 48 may be disposed or formed in the bottom surface of the groove 47 of the holder 140. For example, the groove 48 may be recessed from the bottom surface of the groove 47 of the holder 140.

[0248] In another embodiment, holder 140 may include a protrusion protruding from the bottom surface of holder 140 instead of groove 47, and sensor base 270 may include a groove recessed from the top surface of sensor base 270 and coupled with the protrusion of holder 140 instead of protrusion 216. In yet another embodiment, protrusion 17 may be formed on holder 140, and groove 48 may be formed on sensor base 270.

[0249] Camera device 200 may include filter 610 disposed on or coupled to holder 140. For example, filter 610 may be disposed below holder 140. For example, filter 610 may be coupled to the underside of holder 140. For example, filter 610 may be disposed on seat 45A of holder 140.

[0250] The filter 610 may serve to block light of a specific frequency band from passing through the lens module 400 from entering the image sensor 810. For example, the filter 610 may be an infrared blocking filter. For example, the filter 610 may be disposed parallel to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis OA.

[0251] The filter 610 may be bonded to the holder 140 (or the seat 45A) by an adhesive (not shown). For example, an edge region of the filter 610 may be bonded to the bottom surface of the seat 45A. For example, the adhesive may be epoxy, a heat-curable adhesive, an ultraviolet-curable adhesive, or the like. For example, at least a portion of the filter 610 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the lens module 400 and / or the image sensor 810 in the optical axis direction.

[0252] The sensor base 270 may be disposed below the holder 140. The sensor base 270 may be disposed within the housing 210. The sensor base 270 may be coupled to the holder 140. The sensor base 270 may be interchangeably referred to as "holder." The holder 140 may also be referred to as a "first housing" (or a "first holder"), and the sensor base 270 may also be referred to as a "second housing" (or a "second holder"). The holder 140 and the sensor base 270 may not be separately referred to, but may be interchangeably referred to as a single term, for example, "housing," "sensor base," or "holder." In another embodiment, the sensor base 270 and the holder 140 may be integrally formed. In yet another embodiment, any one of the sensor base 270, the holder 140, and the support member 64 may be integrally formed.

[0253] For example, the sensor base 270 may include a protrusion 216 that protrudes from the upper surface. The protrusion 216 may be expressed interchangeably as a "pillar."

[0254] For example, the protrusion 216 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the groove 47 of the holder 140 in the optical axis direction. At least a portion of the protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270 may be inserted into the groove 47 of the holder 140. For example, at least a portion of the protrusion 216 may be coupled with the groove 47 of the holder 140. For example, at least a portion of the protrusion 216 may be coupled with the groove 47 of the holder 140 by an adhesive.

[0255] For example, the sensor base 270 may include a body 270A and a protrusion 216 protruding from the upper surface of the body 270A. For example, the body 270A may have a shape corresponding to the first board 801 of the circuit board 810. For example, the body 270A may have a polyhedral, e.g., hexahedral, shape. For example, the protrusion 216 may be disposed in a corner region of the upper surface of the body 270A. For example, the protrusion 216 may include four protrusions 216A to 216D disposed in four corner regions of the upper surface of the body 270A. Also, for example, the holder 140 may include four grooves 47 corresponding to the four protrusions 216A to 216D. In another embodiment, the housing 210 may include at least one protrusion disposed in at least one of the four corner regions of the body 270, and the holder 140 may include at least one groove 48 corresponding to the at least one protrusion of the housing 210.

[0256] The sensor base 270 or body 270A can include sides 51A-51D that correspond to, face, or overlap sides 41A-41D of the holder 140.

[0257] The camera device 200 may include a gyro sensor (not shown) disposed on the circuit board 800. For example, the gyro sensor may be disposed on a first substrate 801 of the circuit board 800. For example, the gyro sensor may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to a lower surface of the first substrate 801. For example, the gyro sensor outputs information about a rotational angular velocity due to the operation of the camera device 200. For example, the gyro sensor may be implemented as a two-axis or three-axis gyro sensor or an angular velocity sensor. For example, the gyro sensor may be conductively or electrically connected to the first substrate 801.

[0258] In another embodiment, the sensor base 270 may include a receiving portion in which the gyro sensor is disposed or to avoid spatial interference with the gyro sensor 820. For example, the receiving portion 56 may be a through-hole that penetrates the sensor base 270 in the optical axis direction, or a groove that is recessed from the upper surface of the sensor base 270 or the upper surface of the body 270A. Here, the receiving portion may include an opening that opens to the outer surface of the sensor base 270.

[0259] The sensor base 270 may include a receiving portion 55 in which the control unit 830 is disposed or for receiving the control unit 830. The receiving portion 55 may be a groove recessed from the upper surface of the sensor base 270 or the upper surface of the body 270A. In another embodiment, the receiving portion 155 may be a through-hole formed through the sensor base 270 or the body 270A in the optical axis direction.

[0260] The sensor base 270 may include seats 274A, 274B for positioning the coil 230. The seats 274A, 274B may be disposed on or formed on the upper surface of the sensor base 270. For example, the seats 274A, 274B may be grooves recessed from the upper surface of the sensor base 270.

[0261] For example, the sensor base 270 may include a first seat 274A for placing the first coil unit 230A and a second seat 274B for placing the second coil unit 230B.

[0262] For example, the first seating portion 274A may be formed adjacent to or in contact with the second side 51B of the sensor base 270. For example, the first seating portion 274A may be a groove formed in the upper surface of the sensor base 270 adjacent to the second side 51B of the sensor base 270. For example, the first seating portion 274A may include an opening that opens to the outer surface of the second side 51B of the sensor base 270. In other embodiments, the first seating portion 274A may be spaced apart from the outer surface of the second side 51B of the sensor base 270 and may not include an opening that opens to the outer surface of the second side 51B.

[0263] For example, the second seating portion 274B may be formed adjacent to or in contact with the third side 51C of the sensor base 270. For example, the second seating portion 274B may be a groove formed in the upper surface of the sensor base 270 adjacent to the third side 51C of the sensor base 270. For example, the second seating portion 274B may include an opening that opens to the outer surface of the third side 51C of the sensor base 270. In other embodiments, the second seating portion 274B may be spaced apart from the outer surface of the third side 51C of the sensor base 270 and may not include an opening that opens to the outer surface of the third side 51C.

[0264] In another embodiment, the seats 274A, 274B may have a through-hole shape. For example, one of the first and second seats 274A, 274B may be a hole or a through-hole that penetrates the sensor base 270 in the optical axis direction. In this case, a part of the sensor base 270 may not be interposed between the coil 230 and the magnet 310, thereby increasing the electromagnetic force between the magnet 310 and the coil 230. In addition, because a part of the sensor base 270 may not be interposed between the position sensor 240 and the magnet 310, the output of the position sensor 240 may be increased, thereby improving the sensitivity of the position sensor 240.

[0265] The sensor base 270 may include a groove 29 in which at least a portion (e.g., a protrusion 65) of the tilting guide portion 60 is disposed or accommodated. The groove 29 may be formed on the lower surface of the sensor base 270. For example, the groove 29 may be recessed from the lower surface of the sensor base 270. The number of grooves 29 may be the same as the number of protrusions 65 of the tilting guide portion 60.

[0266] For example, the groove 29 may include two grooves 29A and 29B spaced apart from each other. For example, the two grooves 29A and 29B may be arranged spaced apart from each other in the X-axis direction.

[0267] The groove 29 may contact the protrusion 65 of the tilting guide portion 60 at at least one point. For example, the groove 29 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 groove 29 may include a bottom surface and a plurality of inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces of the groove 29 may have the same shape. In another embodiment, at least one of the inclined surfaces of the groove 29 may have a different shape from the rest.

[0268] 7a, a groove 212A into which at least a portion of a first substrate 801 of a circuit board 800 is inserted or disposed may be formed in the protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270. For example, a corner of the first substrate 801 may be inserted into or coupled with the groove 212A of the protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270. For example, the groove 212A may be formed on a side of the protrusion 216 that faces the corner of the circuit board 800. Also, for example, a groove 83 for being inserted into or coupled with the groove 212A of the protrusion 216 may be formed in at least one corner of the circuit board 800. The groove 212A of the protrusion 216 of the sensor base 270 serves as a coupling guide for coupling the first substrate 801 and the sensor base 270 and may serve to prevent the first substrate 801 from rotating or separating from the sensor base 270.

[0269] The OIS moving portion can include a support member 64 coupled to the moving module.

[0270] For example, the support member 64 may be coupled to the sensor base 270. The magnetic body 33 may be disposed on or coupled to the support member 64. The tilting guide portion 60 may be disposed between the fixed portion (e.g., the housing 210) and the support member 64. For example, the support member 64 may be disposed apart from the tilting guide portion 60, and a portion of the support member 64 may be coupled to the sensor base 270.

[0271] For example, the support member 64 may pass through a portion of the housing 210 and be coupled to the sensor base 270. The support member 64 may also be expressed interchangeably as a "magnetic support member," a "support portion," a "mover rigid," a holding rigid, or a "coupling portion."

[0272] The circuit board 800 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the sensor base 270. For example, the circuit board 800 may be coupled to the sensor base 270 by an adhesive or a fastening member.

For example, the first substrate 801 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the body 270A of the sensor base 270. For example, the bottom surface of the first substrate 801 may be coupled to the top surface of the sensor base 270 or the top surface of the body 270A. For example, the bottom surface of the first substrate 801 may be coupled to the top surface of the sensor base 270 or the top surface of the body 270A by adhesive.

[0275] The circuit board 800 may include a second substrate 802 (or "second region") coupled to the first substrate 801 and disposed on, coupled to, or secured to the holder 140. For example, the second substrate 802 may be disposed on, coupled to, or secured to the first side 41A of the holder 140.

[0276] In FIG. 7 a , the circuit board 800 includes one second substrate, but in other embodiments, the circuit board 800 may include multiple second substrates disposed on at least one of the sides of the holder 140 .

[0277] For example, the second substrate 802 may be coupled to a first side surface of the first substrate 801. For example, the second substrate 802 may be bent from the first side surface of the first substrate 801 toward the first side 41A of the holder 140. For example, the second substrate 802 may extend upward from the first substrate 801.

[0278] The circuit board 800 may include a third board 803 on which a connector 805 is arranged or provided, and a fourth board 804 that connects the first board 802 and the third board 803 together.

[0280] For example, a rigid printed circuit board may include a plurality of conductive layers (or circuit patterns) spaced apart in the optical axis direction and an insulating layer disposed between two adjacent conductive layers among the plurality of conductive layers. For example, a flexible printed circuit board may include one conductive layer (or circuit pattern) and a second insulating layer disposed below a first insulating conductive layer disposed on the conductive layer. In another embodiment, a 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 circuit element 815 may include at least one of a passive element (e.g., a capacitor or a resistor), an active element (e.g., a sensor, a memory, or a driver IC), or a circuit pattern. For example, to avoid spatial interference with the image sensor 810, the circuit element 815 may be disposed between the image sensor 810 and an edge (e.g., a side) of the first substrate 801.

[0284] The camera device 200 may include a control unit 830 disposed on the circuit board 800. For example, the control unit 830 may be a driver IC.

[0285] For example, the control unit 830 is electrically connected to the coil 120 and can supply a drive signal to the first coil 120. The control unit 830 is electrically connected to the coil units 230A and 230B and can supply a first drive signal to the first coil unit 230A and a second drive signal to the second coil unit 230B.

[0286] The control unit 830 may be conductively or electrically connected to the position sensor 170. The control unit 830 may also be conductively or electrically connected to the position sensor 240.

[0287] For example, the control unit 830 can receive the output signal of the position sensor 170 and can control the drive signal (eg, drive current) supplied to the coil 120 using the output signal of the position sensor 170 .

[0288] For example, the control unit 830 can receive an output signal of the position sensor 240 and use the output signal of the position sensor 240 to control a drive signal (e.g., a drive current) supplied to the coil 230. For example, the control unit 830 can receive an output signal of the first sensor 240A and use the output signal of the first sensor 240A to control a first drive signal (e.g., a first drive current) supplied to the first coil unit 230A. Furthermore, the control unit 830 can receive an output signal of the second sensor 240B and use the output signal of the second sensor 240B to control a second drive signal (e.g., a second drive current) supplied to the second coil unit 230B.

[0289] The coils 120 and 230 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the circuit board 800 (e.g., the second board 802). For example, the coil 120 may be conductively or electrically connected to the circuit board 800 (e.g., the second board 802) by a conductive adhesive or solder. For example, the coil 230 may be conductively or electrically connected to the circuit board 800 (e.g., the first board 801) by a conductive adhesive or solder.

[0290] The first coil unit 230A and the second coil unit 230B may be disposed on or coupled to the first substrate 801 and may be conductively or electrically connected to the first substrate 801. Referring to FIG. 7b, for example, the first coil unit 230A and the second coil unit 230B may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the lower surface of the first substrate 801. For example, the first coil unit 230A and the second coil unit 230B may be disposed between the first substrate 801 and the sensor base 270.

[0291] For example, the first and second coil units 230A and 230B may be disposed adjacent to two adjacent sides of the four sides of the first substrate 801.

[0292] For example, the first coil unit 230A may be disposed adjacent to a 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 a 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.

[0293] The coil 120 can move an AF moving part (for example, a bobbin) in the optical axis direction by interacting with the magnet 130. The coil 120 can be placed on a holder 140.

[0294] The coil 120 may be arranged to correspond to, face, or overlap with the magnet 130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the coil 120 may be arranged on the holder 140 to correspond to, face, or overlap with the magnet 130 in a second direction (e.g., the X-axis direction) or in a direction from the first side 41A to the second side 41B of the holder 140. For example, the coil 120 may be arranged on the first side 41A of the housing 130. The coil 120 may be arranged within the seating portion 142A of the holder 140.

[0295] For example, the coil 120 may include a hollow or a hole. For example, the coil 120 may have a ring shape or a closed curve shape. For example, the coil 120 may be a ring shape wound around a straight line that is perpendicular to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the outer surface of the first side portion 41A of the holder 140. For example, the coil 120 may be a ring shape whose length in the horizontal direction (or third direction) is longer than its length in the vertical direction (or optical axis direction).

[0296] A drive signal may be applied to the coil 120 to generate an electromagnetic force through electromagnetic interaction with the magnet 130. For example, the drive signal may be applied to the coil 120 from the circuit board 800 or the control unit 830. Here, the drive signal supplied to the coil 120 may be direct current and may be in the form of a voltage or current. Alternatively, in other embodiments, 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.

[0297] The coil 120 to which the driving signal is provided can electromagnetically interact with the magnet 130 disposed on the bobbin 110, and the AF movement unit can move in the first direction due to the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic interaction between the coil 120 and the magnet 130. The control unit 830 can control the movement of the AF movement unit in the first direction by adjusting the magnitude and / or direction of the driving signal (e.g., driving current), thereby performing an autofocusing function.

[0298] For AF feedback drive, the camera device 200 may include a position sensor 170. The position sensor 170 may sense the position or displacement of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction. For example, the position sensor 170 may sense the magnet 130 disposed on the bobbin 110. In another embodiment, a sensing magnet facing the position sensor 170 may be disposed on the bobbin, separate from the magnet 130, and the position sensor 170 may sense the sensing magnet or the magnetic field of the sensing magnet to detect the displacement of the bobbin.

[0299] For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed in the holder 140. For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed on the first side 41A of the holder 140. For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed in the seat 142A of the holder 140. For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed in the hollow of the coil 120. In other embodiments, the position sensor 170 may be disposed outside the hollow of the coil 120.

[0300] 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 by a conductive adhesive or solder. For example, the position sensor 170 can be conductively or electrically connected to the second substrate 802. For example, the position sensor 170 can be conductively or electrically connected to the second substrate 802 by a conductive adhesive or solder.

[0301] For example, the position sensor 170 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to a first surface of the second substrate 802. For example, the position sensor 170 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the magnet 130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or in a second direction.

[0302] The position sensor 170 can sense the displacement of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction.

[0303] For example, the position sensor 170 can sense the magnetic field or the strength of the magnetic field of the magnet 130 attached to the bobbin 110 due to the movement of the bobbin 110, and can output an output signal.

[0304] For example, the position sensor 170 may be a Hall sensor. Here, the position sensor 170 may include two input terminals to which a driving signal is applied and two output terminals to which an output signal is output. The circuit board 800 may be conductively or electrically connected to the two input terminals and two output terminals of the position sensor 170. The circuit board 800 or the control unit 830 may supply a driving signal to the two input terminals of the position sensor 170, and the output signals output from the two output terminals of the position sensor 170 may be transmitted to the circuit board 800 or the control unit 830.

[0305] In another embodiment, the position sensor 170 may be implemented in the form of a driver IC including a Hall sensor. For example, if 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 using data communication using a protocol, for example, I2C communication.

[0306] For example, if the position sensor 170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the position sensor 170 may include first and second terminals for receiving a power supply or a drive signal, a third terminal for a clock signal, a fourth terminal for a data signal, and fifth and sixth terminals for supplying a drive signal to the coil 120. The first to sixth terminals of the position sensor 170 may be conductively or electrically connected to the circuit board 800.

[0307] The coil 230, through interaction with the magnet 310 arranged in the housing 210, which is the fixed part, can tilt the OIS moving part or rotate it by a predetermined angle based on a first axis (e.g., X-axis) or a second axis (e.g., Y-axis).

[0308] The coil 230 may include a first coil unit 230A that corresponds to, faces, or overlaps with the first magnet unit 310A in the optical axis direction, and a second coil unit 230B that corresponds to, faces, or overlaps with the second magnet unit 310B in the optical axis direction. For example, the coil 230 does not need to overlap with the magnet 310 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0309] For example, coil 230 may be positioned below coil 120. For example, first coil unit 230A may be positioned within first seat 274A of sensor base 270, and second coil unit 230B may be positioned within second seat 274B of sensor base 270.

[0310] For example, each of the first and second coil units 230A, 230B may be hollow or include a hole. For example, each of the first and second coil units 230A, 230B may have a ring shape or a closed curve shape. For example, each of the first and second coil units 230A, 230B may have a ring shape wound around a straight line 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.

[0311] For example, the first coil unit 230A may be ring-shaped with a longer length in the horizontal direction (or third direction) than in the vertical direction (or second direction). For example, the second coil unit 230B may be ring-shaped with a longer length in the vertical direction (e.g., second direction) than in the horizontal direction (or third direction).

[0312] For OIS feedback driving, the camera device 200 may include a position sensor 240. The position sensor 240 may sense the displacement or angular displacement of the OIS moving unit 100 due to tilting or rotation of the OIS moving unit.

[0313] 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, face, or overlap with the first magnet unit 310A in the optical axis direction. 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 sense the first magnet unit 310A (or the magnetic field of the first magnet unit 310A). For example, the first sensor 240A may sense the tilt angle of the OIS movement unit 100 based on the second axis (Y-axis).

[0314] At least a portion of the second sensor 240B may correspond to, face, or overlap with the second magnet unit 310B in the optical axis direction. For example, the center of the second sensor 240B may overlap with the second magnet unit 310B in the optical axis direction. For example, the second sensor 240B may sense the second magnet unit 310B (or the magnetic field of the second magnet unit 310B). For example, the second sensor 240A may sense the angle at which the OIS movement unit 100 is tilted with respect to the first axis (X-axis).

[0315] For example, the first and second sensors 240A, 240B may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the first substrate 801 of the circuit board 800. For example, the first and second sensors 240A, 240B may be conductively or electrically connected to the first substrate 801.

[0316] For example, the first sensor 240A may be disposed within the hollow (or hole) of the first coil unit 230A, and the second sensor 240B may be disposed within the hollow (or hole) of the second coil unit 230B. In other embodiments, the first sensor 240A may be disposed outside the hollow (or hole) of the first coil unit 230A, and the second sensor 240B may be disposed outside the hollow (or hole) of the second coil unit 230B.

[0317] 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 or electrically 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 or electrically connected to the first substrate 801.

[0318] For example, the first substrate 801 or the control unit 830 may supply or apply a first drive signal to the first and second input terminals of the first sensor 240A. The first sensor 240A may output a first output signal, which may be transmitted to the first substrate 801 or the control unit 830. The first output signal may be output to the first and second output terminals of the first sensor 240A.

[0319] For example, the first substrate 801 or the control unit 830 may supply or apply a second drive signal to the first and second input terminals of the second sensor 240B. The second sensor 240B may output a second output signal, which may be transmitted to the first substrate 801 or the control unit 830. The second output signal may be output to the first and second output terminals of the second sensor 240B.

[0320] 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 can be applied or analogously applied to the embodiment in which the first and second sensors 240A and 240B are driver ICs including Hall sensors.

[0321] The camera device 200 may include a magnetic body 82 disposed opposite the coil 120 and the magnet 130. For example, the magnetic body 82 may be disposed on the holder 140 or the second substrate 802 of the circuit board 800. For example, the magnetic body 82 may be disposed so as to correspond to, face to, or overlap with the magnet 130 in the second direction. Furthermore, for example, the magnetic body 82 may be disposed so as to correspond to, face 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 body 82 may be disposed on a second surface of the second substrate 802 opposite the first surface of the first substrate 802. The magnetic body 82 may be bonded, attached, or fixed to the second substrate 802 by an adhesive.

[0322] 10a and 10b, the housing 210 may include a cavity for accommodating the OIS moving part 100. For example, the housing 210 may have a shape corresponding to the OIS moving part 100, e.g., the holder 140 or the sensor base 270, such as, but not limited to, a polygonal (e.g., rectangular or octagonal) or circular (or elliptical) shape, and may have various shapes. The housing 210 may also be referred to as a "base."

[0323] The housing 210 may include a plurality of sides 71A to 71D corresponding to the sides 41A to 41D of the holder 140 or the sides 51A to 51D of the sensor base 270. The housing 210 may include corners CA1 to CA4 (see FIG. 14) located between two adjacent sides.

[0324] The housing 210 may also include a lower portion (or lower plate) 42 located below the sides 71A to 71D. The lower portion 42 may be connected to the undersides of the sides 71A to 71D. For example, the lower portion 42 may be interchangeably referred to as a "bottom," "bottom surface," or "body." For example, the sides 71A to 71D may protrude upward from the lower portion 42.

[0325] The housing 210 may include a first side 71A corresponding to, facing, or overlapping with the first side 41A of the holder 140, a second side 71B corresponding to, facing, or overlapping with the second side 41B of the holder 140, a third side 71C corresponding to, facing, or overlapping with the third side 41C of the holder 140, and a fourth side 71D corresponding to, facing, or overlapping with the fourth side 41D of the holder 140.

[0326] The first side 71A (or first side surface or first outer surface) of the housing 210 may be located opposite the second side 71B (or second side surface or second outer surface) of the housing 210, and the third side 71C (or third side surface or third outer surface) of the housing 210 may be located opposite the fourth side 71D (or fourth side surface or fourth outer surface) of the housing 210.

[0327] For example, each of the first to fourth sides 71A to 71D of the housing 210 may be disposed parallel to a corresponding one of the side plates 302 of the cover member 300.

[0328] The housing 210 may include a step 411 disposed on a lower portion of any one of the side portions 71A to 71D. For example, the step 411 may protrude from the outer surface 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 face or overlap the side plate 302 of the cover member 300 in the optical axis direction. For example, the step 411 may be bonded to the side plate 302 of the cover member 300 with an adhesive.

[0329] The housing 210 may include seats 141A and 141B for accommodating the magnet 310. For example, the seats 141A and 141B may have a groove shape formed in the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. In another embodiment, the seats 141A and 141B may be through-holes formed in the lower portion of the housing 210.

[0330] The housing 210 may include a first seat 141A for disposing the first magnet unit 310A and a second seat 141B for disposing the second magnet unit 310B. For example, the first seat 141A may be disposed or formed in a first region of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 adjacent to the second side 71B of the housing 210. For example, the second seat 141B may be disposed or formed in a second region of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 adjacent to the third side 71C of the housing 210.

[0331] The magnet 310 may include a first magnet unit 310A and a second magnet unit 310B disposed in the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, the magnet 310 may be disposed below the coil 230.

[0332] For example, the first magnet unit 310A may be arranged to correspond to, face to, or overlap with the first coil unit 230A in the optical axis direction, and the second magnet unit 310B may be arranged to correspond to, face to, or overlap with the second coil unit 230B in the optical axis direction.

[0333] For example, the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be arranged with a shift 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 in 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 in the lower part 42 of the housing 210 so as not to overlap with each other in the second direction or the third direction.

[0334] In another embodiment, the magnet 310 may be disposed in the holder 140, and the coil 230 may be disposed in the housing 210. For example, the magnet 310 and the coil 230 may be disposed so that their positions are opposite to each other in FIG. 3. Here, the camera device 200 may include a separate current-carrying part, such as a circuit board, a circuit member, or a conductive member, that electrically connects the second coil 230 and the circuit board 800.

[0335] 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, the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be a two-pole magnet divided into or arranged with north and south poles 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 the south pole (or north pole).

[0336] For example, a first surface of the magnet 310 facing or opposing the coil 230 in the optical axis direction may be a south pole (or a north pole), and a second surface opposite the first surface of the magnet 310 may be a north pole (or a south pole).

[0337] In another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be a two-pole magnet divided or arranged into one north pole and one south pole in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In yet another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B may be a four-pole magnet including two north poles and two south poles. In another embodiment, an electromagnetic force is generated between the first and second magnet units 310A, 310B and the first and second coil units 230A, 230B, and the generated electromagnetic force can tilt the OIS vibration part in the X-axis or Y-axis.

[0338] The housing 210 may include a receiving portion 49A for receiving the magnetic body 31. The receiving portion 49A may be disposed in or formed in the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. The receiving portion 49A may be disposed in or formed on an upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, the receiving portion 49A may be a groove 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 body 31, such as a square or circle. For example, the receiving portion 49A of the housing 210 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the seating portion 93A of the support member 64 in the optical axis direction.

[0339] 10b, the housing 210 may include a seat 69 for disposing or accommodating at least a portion of the tilting guide portion 60. For example, the seat 69 may be a groove recessed from the upper surface of the housing 210 or the upper surface of the lower portion 42.

[0340] For example, the seating portion 69 may have a shape that corresponds to or matches the shape of the tilting guide portion 60. For example, the seating portion 69 may include a bottom surface 69A that is stepped relative to the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 in the optical axis direction, and a side surface 69B that connects the bottom surface 69A and the upper surface of the lower portion 42. For example, the bottom surface 69A of the seating portion 69 may be located lower than the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210.

[0341] 4a and 4b, a seat 69 for inserting or locating at least a portion of the tilting guide portion 60 is formed on the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210, and the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 may include a partition 272 (or guide portion) disposed around the tilting guide portion 60. The tilting guide portion 60 may be spaced apart from the partition 272 of the housing 210, and the partition 272 may be disposed to surround the tilting guide portion 60. The partition 272 of the housing 210 may prevent the tilting guide portion 60 from detaching or falling off the housing 210.

[0342] The housing 210 may include a protrusion (or projection) 49 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 seat 69 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may be greater than the depth of the seat 60 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion length of the protrusion 49 may be the distance (or shortest distance) from the bottom surface 69A of the seat 69 to the lower surface (or lowest end) of the protrusion 69. Also, the depth of the seat 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 seat 69. In other embodiments, for example, the protrusion length of the protrusion 49 may be smaller than or equal to the depth of the seat 69. For example, the protrusion 49 may have a shape that corresponds to or matches the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60.

[0343] For example, the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the opening 60A of the tilting guide part 60 in the optical axis direction. For example, at least a portion of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may be disposed within the opening 60A of the tilting guide part 60.

[0344] For example, the receiving portion 49A may be disposed or formed in the protruding portion 49 of the housing 210. For example, the receiving portion 49A may be a groove recessed from the upper surface of the protruding portion 49 of the housing 210.

[0345] For example, the protrusion 49 may be disposed between the grooves 55A and 55B of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 49 may be disposed between the protrusions 66A and 66B of the tilting guide part 60. For example, the protrusion 49 (or the magnetic body 31) may overlap with the protrusions 66A and 66B of the tilting guide part 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, for example, in the third direction.

[0346] For example, at least a portion of the first magnet unit 310A may correspond to, face to, or overlap with the tilting guide portion 60 in a direction parallel to the first axis, and at least a portion of the second magnet unit 310B may correspond to, face to, or overlap with the tilting guide portion 60 in a direction parallel to the second axis.

[0347] The housing 210 may include grooves 55 in which at least a portion of the protrusions 66 of the tilting guide portion 60 are disposed or for accommodating at least a portion of the protrusions 66. The grooves 55 of the housing 210 may be formed in an upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, the grooves 55 may be recessed from the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, the grooves 55 may be formed in a bottom surface 69A of the seating portion 69 of the housing 210. For example, the grooves 55 may be recessed from the bottom surface 69A of the seating portion 69 of the housing 210. The number of grooves 55 of the housing 210 may be the same as the number of protrusions 66 of the tilting guide portion 60.

[0348] For example, the groove 55 may include two grooves 55A and 55B spaced apart from each other. For example, the two grooves 55A and 55B may be spaced apart from each other in the Y-axis direction. For example, the direction in which the two grooves 55A and 55B of the housing 210 are spaced apart from each other and the direction in which the two grooves 29A and 29B of the sensor base 270 are spaced apart may intersect or be perpendicular to each other. For example, the receiving portion 49A may be located between the two grooves 55A and 55B of the housing 210.

[0349] The groove 55 of the housing 210 may contact the protrusion 66 of the tilting guide portion 60 at at least one point. For example, the groove 55 may include a bottom surface and at least one side surface connected to the bottom surface. At least one side surface of the groove 55 may be an inclined surface. For example, the groove 55 may include a bottom surface and multiple inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces of the groove 55 may have the same shape. In another embodiment, at least one of the inclined surfaces of the groove 55 may have a different shape from the rest.

[0350] The housing 210 may include a protrusion 215 that protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the protrusion 215 may protrude from a side of the housing 210.

[0351] 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 have a form in which at least a portion of the fourth side portion 71D protrudes in a direction parallel to a line that passes through the optical axis and is perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the protrusion 215 may include a groove (or cavity) 16A in which at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804 is disposed or accommodated. For example, the groove 16A of the protrusion 215 may include an opening that opens upward.

[0352] 10a, coupling grooves 215A and 215B for inserting, coupling, or fixing the movement suppressing portion 80 may be formed in the groove 16A of the protrusion 215. For example, the coupling grooves 215A and 215B may be formed on two inner surfaces of the groove 16A of the protrusion 215 that face each other. For example, the coupling grooves 215A and 215B may extend in the optical axis direction. For example, the coupling grooves 215A and 215B may include openings that open on the upper surface of the protrusion 215 to easily insert or couple the movement suppressing portion 80 from above.

[0353] The maximum length of the protrusion 215 in the optical axis direction may be smaller than the maximum length of the housing 210 in the optical axis direction. With this configuration, it is possible to easily secure a space for the circuit board 800 to extend outward, thereby realizing a compact camera device.

[0354] Camera device 200 may include a movement suppressing portion 80 coupled to at least a portion of housing 210. Movement suppressing portion 80 suppresses movement or movement of at least a portion of fourth substrate 804, and can suppress deformation of the shape of at least a portion of fourth substrate 804.

[0355] 7c, 8, and 11, the fourth substrate 804 of the circuit board 800 may include a first portion (or "first region") 804A connected to the first substrate 801, a second portion 804B connected to the first portion 804A and bent from the first portion 804A, and a third portion 804C connected to the second portion 804B and bent from the second portion 804B. In other embodiments, one of the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B may be omitted.

[0356] For example, the first portion 804A may extend in a direction parallel to the first substrate 801. For example, the second portion 804B may be bent from the first portion 804A and extend upward from the first portion 804A. For example, the third portion 804C may extend from the second portion 804B in a direction opposite to the first portion 804A.

[0357] For example, the fourth substrate 804 may include a first bent portion 804D connecting the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B. The fourth substrate 804 may also 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 relative to each other, or, for example, the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B may be perpendicular to each other. In other embodiments, the first bent portion 804D and the second bent portion 804E may have a rounded shape. In other embodiments, the interior angle between the first portion 804A and the second portion 804B may be an acute angle or an obtuse angle.

[0358] The first bent portion 804D and the second bent portion 804E can prevent an increase in the length in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the camera device 200. Furthermore, since the first bent portion 804D and the second bent portion 804E are located between the upper surface of the camera device 200 (e.g., the upper surface of the cover member 300) and the lower surface of the camera device 200 (e.g., the lower surface of the housing 210), an increase in the length in the optical axis direction of the camera device 200 can be prevented, and the camera device can be made more compact.

[0359] For example, the third portion 804C may have the shape of a plate or a plane perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the third portion 804C may have a serpentine or wave shape. For example, the third portion 804C may include at least one folded or curved region. For example, the folded or curved region of the third portion 804C may be folded in a second direction or a third direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Alternatively, the folded 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.

[0360] For example, third portion 804C can be spaced apart from housing 210. For example, third portion 804C can be spaced apart from protrusion 215 of housing 210. In other embodiments, for example, at least a portion of third portion 804C can contact protrusion 215 of housing 210.

[0361] 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 groove 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 groove 16A of the protrusion 215. The third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 may be located outside the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 may be located above the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. A lower surface of the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804 may be located above an upper surface of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210.

[0362] 7a, the sensor base 270 may include a groove 273 formed at a location where the fourth substrate 804 and the first substrate 801 meet or are connected, for example, at a position corresponding to the first portion 804A of the fourth substrate 804. The groove 273 may be disposed adjacent to or in contact with the outer surface of the fourth side 71D of the sensor base 270 on which the fourth substrate 804 is disposed. The groove 273 may serve to prevent the first portion 804A of the fourth substrate 804 from being damaged due to friction with the sensor base 270.

[0363] The connector 805 may be coupled or connected to another connector outside the camera device 200 or to an external device. The connector 805, which is coupled to another external connector, may correspond to a fixed part that does not move when the OIS is driven. The third part 804C of the fourth substrate 804 includes at least one bent or curved region, and thus may be able to flexibly support the camera device 200 or the OIS movement part 100 and absorb external shocks. That is, the third part 804C of the fourth substrate 804 may function as a spring that absorbs shocks. Furthermore, because the third part 804C of the fourth substrate 804 may flexibly support the OIS movement part, the driving force or driving power required when driving the OIS may be reduced.

[0364] Camera apparatus 200 may include a reinforcing member 70 disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of fourth substrate 804. Reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to any one of first portion 804A and second portion 804B of fourth substrate 804. For example, reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of first portion 804A and at least a portion of second portion 804B of fourth substrate 804.

[0365] 11 , for example, the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the lower surface of the first portion 804A and the lower surface of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804. For example, the reinforcing member 70 may include a first region 70A disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the first portion 804A, and a second region 70B disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the second portion 804B. The second region 70B may be bent upward from the first region 70A. For example, a bent portion may be formed between the first region 70A and the second region 70B.

[0366] For example, the area of ​​the second region 70B may be larger than the area of ​​the first region 70A. In other embodiments, the two may be the same or the area of ​​the former 70B may be smaller than the area of ​​the latter 70A.

[0367] For example, the reinforcing member 70 can be spaced apart from the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804. For example, the second region 70B of the reinforcing member 70 can be spaced apart from the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804. In other embodiments, at least a portion of the second region 70B of the reinforcing member 70 can contact the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804.

[0368] In other embodiments, the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to an upper surface of the first portion 804A and an upper surface of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804. For example, in other embodiments, the reinforcing member 70 may include a first region disposed on the upper surface of the first portion 804A of the fourth substrate 804 and a second region disposed on the upper surface of the second portion 804B.

[0369] In yet another embodiment, the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the second portion 804B and at least a portion of the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804. For example, in another embodiment, the reinforcing 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 reinforcing member 70 may include a first region disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 and a second region disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the third portion 804C, and a bent portion may be formed between the first and second regions. The first region of the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on the lower surface (or upper surface) of the second portion 804B, and the second region of the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed on the lower surface (or upper surface) of the third portion 804C.

[0370] The reinforcing member 70 can prevent the fourth substrate 804 from being damaged, deformed, or broken due to an impact or external force. In addition, the reinforcing member 70 can prevent a force from being applied to the fourth substrate 804 due to tilting of the OIS moving unit 100, or prevent the fourth substrate 804 from being deformed and restored to its original shape. For example, the reinforcing member 70 can include at least one of a metal material and an injection molding material.

[0371] For example, the reinforcing member 70 may be disposed within the groove 16A of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the reinforcing member 70 may be in at least partial contact with the groove 16A of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the reinforcing member 70 may not be bonded to the housing 210 (e.g., the protrusion 215). In other embodiments, for example, the reinforcing member 70 may be bonded to the housing 210 (e.g., the protrusion 215) by an adhesive.

[0372] 1, 10a, and 10b, the movement suppressing portion 80 may be coupled to the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the movement suppressing portion 80 may be coupled to the coupling grooves 215A and 215B of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210.

[0373] 3 , at least a portion of second portion 804B of fourth substrate 804 may be disposed between movement suppressing portion 80 and the inner surface of protrusion 215 of housing 210. For example, at least a portion of reinforcing member 70 may be disposed between movement suppressing portion 80 and the inner surface of protrusion 215 of housing 210.

[0374] The movement suppressing portion 80 may 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 suppressing portion 80 may be spaced apart from the circuit board 800 in the optical axis direction or in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. That is, the movement suppressing portion 80 may serve 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 suppressing portion 80 may be an injection-molded product made of a non-magnetic material or resin. In another embodiment, the movement suppressing portion 80 may contact at least a portion of the fourth substrate 804 of the circuit board 800.

[0375] The movement suppressing unit 80 can restrict the movement or operation of at least a part of the second portion 804B of the fourth substrate 804 arranged in the groove 16A of the protrusion 215, and can suppress or prevent the second portion 804B from coming out of the groove 16A of the protrusion 215. Therefore, when the OIS is driven, the OIS moving unit can be suppressed or prevented from being affected by the restoring force of the fourth substrate 804, allowing for accurate OIS driving and improving the reliability of OIS driving. The movement suppressing unit 80 can also be expressed as a "clamp."

[0376] The cover member 300 may form an accommodation space together with the housing 210, and the OIS moving part may be disposed in the accommodation space. For example, the cover member 300 may have a box shape with an open bottom. For example, the cover member 300 may include an upper plate 301 and a side plate 302 connected to the upper plate 301.

[0377] The lower end of the side plate 302 of the cover member 300 may be coupled to the housing 210. The shape of the top plate 301 of the cover member 300 may be polygonal (e.g., rectangular or octagonal) or circular. The top plate 301 of the cover member 300 may include an opening 303 for exposing a lens (not shown) to external light. The opening 303 may be a through-hole formed in the top plate 301 of the cover member 300 in the optical axis direction. For example, the side plate of 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 a magnetic material. For example, the material of the cover member 300 may be an injection-molded product such as resin, or a metal material.

[0378] 1 and 2a, the cover member 300 may include an opening 304 disposed or formed in the side plate 302 to avoid spatial interference with the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 215 of the housing 210 may pass through the opening 304 of the cover member 300 and protrude from the side plate 302 of the cover member 300.

[0379] The cover member 300 is disposed over the opening 304 and may include a protrusion 305 protruding from the side plate 302. For example, the protrusion 305 may have a plate shape. For example, the protrusion 305 of the cover member 300 may be disposed over the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 305 may be disposed above the groove 16A of the protrusion 215 of the housing 210. For example, the protrusion 305 may be disposed above the movement suppressing portion 80. For example, the protrusion 305 may overlap the movement suppressing portion 80 in the optical axis direction. Furthermore, for example, the protrusion 305 may overlap a first portion 804A of the fourth substrate 804 in the optical axis direction. The protrusion 305 can suppress or prevent the movement suppressing portion 80 from coming off and can protect the movement suppressing portion 80 and the fourth substrate 804 from impact.

[0380] The cover member 300 may include a protrusion (not shown) protruding from the upper plate 301. Here, the protrusion 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 protrusion of the cover member 300 may face or overlap the accommodating portion 116 of the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction. At least a portion of the protrusion of the cover member 300 may be inserted or disposed within the accommodating portion 116 of the bobbin 110. The protrusion of the cover member 300 may be disposed on the ball member 21. For example, the cover member 300 may include a first protrusion (not shown) corresponding to, facing, or overlapping with the first ball member 21A or the first accommodating portion 116A of the bobbin 110. For example, the cover member 300 may include a second protrusion (not shown) corresponding to, facing, or overlapping with the second ball member 21B or the second accommodating portion 116B of the bobbin 110. For example, the protrusion of the cover member 300 may include a groove recessed from the upper surface of the upper plate 301 of the cover member 330. In other embodiments, the protrusion of the cover member 300 may not include a groove. By providing the protrusion on the cover member 300, the embodiment can prevent the ball member 21 from coming off the receiving portion 116 of the bobbin 110. In addition, the protrusion of the cover member 300 can also function as a stopper that prevents the bobbin 110 from moving further upward within a limited range.

[0381] Next, the support portion will be described.

[0382] The support portion may be disposed between the fixed portion and the moving portion. For example, the support portion may be disposed between the sensor base 270 and the housing 210. The support portion may support the sensor base 270 relative to the housing 210. The support portion may include a tilting guide portion 60 disposed between the fixed portion and the OIS moving portion. For example, the tilting guide portion 60 may be disposed between the sensor base 270 and the housing 210.

[0383] The tilting guide portion 60 can also be expressed interchangeably as a "moving plate," "drive plate," "drive plate," "moving plate," "mover," "mover plate," "drive plate," "plate," "rotating plate," "tilting plate," "moving plate," or "support plate."

[0384] The tilting guide unit 60 may tilt or rotate by a predetermined angle based on a first axis or a second axis. For example, the tilting guide unit 60 may include a first axis formed on a first surface facing the OIS moving unit and a second axis formed on a second surface facing the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 210).

[0385] For example, the tilting guide portion 60 may be disposed between the lower portion (or lower surface) of the sensor base 270 and the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. For example, at least a portion of the tilting guide portion 60 may be disposed within the seat portion 69 of the housing 210. Because the tilting guide portion 60 is disposed within the seat portion 69 of the housing 210, the length or height of the camera device 200 in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0386] 4b, 9a, and 12, the tilting guide unit 60 may include a body or main body. The body of the tilting guide unit 60 may be plate-shaped. For example, the length of the tilting guide unit 60 in a horizontal direction (e.g., a lateral direction or a longitudinal direction) perpendicular to the optical axis may be greater than the length of the tilting guide unit 60 in the optical axis direction.

[0387] Referring to Figures 9a and 9b, the tilting guide unit 60 may include at least one first guide member arranged on a first surface (or upper surface) facing the OIS moving unit (or moving module (e.g., sensor base 270)), and at least one second guide member arranged on a second surface (or lower surface) facing the fixed unit (e.g., housing 210).

[0388] For example, a first axis may be formed by a first guide member, and a 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.

[0389] For example, the first guide member may include a first protrusion 65. For example, the second guide member may include a second protrusion 66.

[0390] For example, the first protrusion 65 may be coupled to or in contact with the sensor base 270. The second protrusion 66 may be coupled to or in contact with the housing 210.

[0391] The first protrusion 65 may be arranged on a first surface 6A (e.g., the upper surface) of the tilting guide part 60, and the second protrusion 66 may be arranged on a second surface 6B (or lower surface), which is the opposite surface to the first surface 6A of the tilting guide part 60. For example, the first protrusion 65 may protrude from the first surface 6A (e.g., the upper surface) of the tilting guide part 60, and the second protrusion 66 may protrude from the second surface 6B (e.g., the lower surface) of the tilting guide part 60.

[0392] The first protrusion 65 can be expressed interchangeably as an “upper protrusion (or front protrusion)” or a “first protrusion,” and the second protrusion 66 can be expressed interchangeably as a “lower protrusion (or rear protrusion)” or a “second protrusion.” The number of each of the first protrusions 65 and the second protrusions 66 can be one, two, three or more.

[0393] At least a portion of the first protrusion 65 may be disposed in the groove 29 of the sensor base 270. The first protrusion 65 may include at least two protrusions 65A, 65B. For example, the at least two protrusions 65A, 65B may be disposed spaced apart in the second direction. Each of the two protrusions 65A, 65B may be inserted into a corresponding one of the first and second grooves 29A, 29B of the sensor base 270.

[0394] At least a portion of the second protrusion 66 may be disposed within the groove 55 of the housing 210 .

[0395] The second protrusion 66 may include at least two protrusions 66A, 66B. For example, the two protrusions 66A, 66B may be spaced apart in the third direction. Each of the two protrusions 66A, 66B may be inserted into a corresponding one of the first and second grooves 55A, 55B of the housing 210.

[0396] In another embodiment, the two protrusions 65A, 65B may be spaced apart in the third direction, the first and second grooves 29A, 29B of the sensor base 270 may be spaced apart in the third direction, the two protrusions 66A, 66B may be spaced apart in the second direction, and the first and second grooves 55A, 55B of the housing 210 may be spaced apart in the second direction.

[0397] For example, each of the first protrusion 65 and the second protrusion 66 may have a curved, hemispherical, dome, or polyhedral shape, but is not limited thereto. For example, the shape of the first protrusion 65 when viewed from the front or top and the shape of the second protrusion 66 when viewed from the rear or bottom may be circular, elliptical, or polygonal.

[0398] The tilting guide portion 60 may include an opening 60A that corresponds to, faces, or overlaps with the magnetic body 31 and / or the magnetic body 33. For example, the opening 60A may correspond to, faces, or overlap with the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. The opening 60A can reduce the weight (or mass) of the tilting guide portion 60, thereby making the camera device 200 lighter.

[0399]

[0400] For example, the opening 60A of the tilting guide part 60 can be disposed 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 tilting guide part 60 can be formed to avoid spatial interference with the magnetic body 31 and the protrusion 49 of the housing 210.

[0401] For example, the opening 60A of the tilting guide unit 60 may be a through-hole. For example, the opening 60A may penetrate the tilting guide unit 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 tilting guide unit 60 may have a shape corresponding to the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. For example, the opening 60A may have a circular, elliptical, or polygonal shape, such as a square.

[0402] For example, the horizontal length of the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60 may be greater than the horizontal length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. In another embodiment, the horizontal length of the opening 60A may be the same as the horizontal length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. The vertical length of the opening 60A may be greater than the vertical length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. In another embodiment, the vertical length of the opening 60A may be the same as the vertical length of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210.

[0403] At least a portion of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 can be disposed within the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60. For example, the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 can overlap with the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60 in the optical axis direction. Also, for example, the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 can overlap with the tilting guide portion 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. Thus, the length or height of the camera device 200 in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0404] For example, at least a portion of the opening 60A may be disposed between the two protrusions 65A and 65B of the first protrusion 65 of the tilting guide part 60. Also, at least a portion of the opening 60A may be disposed between the protrusions 66A and 66B of the second protrusion 66 of the tilting guide part 60.

[0405] For example, the tilting guide portion 60 may be an injection-molded product. For example, the tilting guide portion 60 may be made of a plastic, resin, or ceramic material. In another embodiment, the tilting guide portion 60 may include a metal material, such as stainless steel. Also, the tilting guide portion 60 may be a non-magnetic material. In another embodiment, the tilting guide portion 60 may be a magnetic material.

[0406] The protrusions 65A, 65B of the first protrusion 65 and the protrusions 66A, 66B of the second protrusion 66 may be arranged side by side along directions that intersect with each other or are perpendicular to each other. The first protrusion 65 of the tilting guide unit 60 allows the OIS moving unit to rotate, pivot, or tilt in either the second direction or the third direction. The second protrusion 66 of the tilting guide unit 60 allows the OIS moving unit to rotate, pivot, or tilt in the other direction of the second direction or the third direction.

[0407] A lubricant may be placed between the first protrusion 66 of the tilting guide part 60 and the groove 29 of the sensor base 270 or between the second protrusion 66 of the tilting guide part 60 and the groove 55 of the housing 210 to reduce friction and protect the tilting guide part 60.

[0408] The first protrusion 65 of the tilting guide unit 60 can slide within the groove 29 of the sensor base 270, and the second protrusion 66 can slide within the groove 55 of the housing 210. Therefore, the frictional force between the tilting guide unit 60 and the sensor base 270 and / or the frictional force between the tilting guide unit 60 and the housing 210 can be reduced, and the current consumption or power consumption for driving the OIS can be reduced.

[0409] 4d and 12, the ball member 21 may not overlap with the tilting guide portion 60 in the optical axis direction. Also, for example, as shown in Fig. 4c, the ball member 21 may not overlap with the tilting guide portion 60 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0410] For example, the direction of separation between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may be perpendicular to or intersect with the direction of separation between the protrusions 65A and 65B of the tilting guide portion 60. In other embodiments, the former and the latter may be parallel.

[0411] For example, the direction of separation between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B may be parallel to or intersect with the direction of separation between the protrusions 66A and 66B of the tilting guide portion 60. In other embodiments, the former and the latter may be perpendicular.

[0412] For example, when viewed from above, the distance between the protrusions 65A and 65B of the tilting guide portion 60 may be smaller than the distance between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B. In other embodiments, the distance between the protrusions 65A and 65B of the tilting guide portion 60 may be the same as or larger than the distance between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B.

[0413] For example, when viewed from above, the distance between the protrusions 66A and 66B of the tilting guide portion 60 may be smaller than the distance between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B. In other embodiments, the distance between the protrusions 66A and 66B of the tilting guide portion 60 may be the same as or larger than the distance between the first ball member 21A and the second ball member 21B.

[0414] In another embodiment, the tilting guide part 60 may omit any one of the first protrusion 65 and the second protrusion 66, and a rolling member or a ball member may be disposed in place of the omitted protrusion.

[0415] FIG. 9c is a front perspective view of a tilting guide section 60-1 according to another embodiment, and FIG. 9d is a rear perspective view of the tilting guide section 60-1 of FIG. 9c.

[0416] 9c and 9d, the tilting guide unit 60-1 may include a first groove 75 formed on a first surface (or upper surface) of the tilting guide unit 60 and a second groove 76 formed on a second surface (or lower surface) of the tilting guide unit 60-1. For example, the first groove 75 may be disposed on a first surface of the body of the tilting guide unit 60-1, and the second groove 76 may be disposed on a second surface of the body of the tilting guide unit 60-1.

[0417] The tilting guide unit 60-1 may include at least one first guide member 65A1, 65B1 disposed between the moving unit and the tilting guide unit 60-1, and at least one second guide member 66A1, 66A2 disposed between the fixed unit and the tilting guide unit 60-1. The number of first and second guide members may be plural. The number of first grooves 75 may be the same as the number of first guide members, and the number of second grooves 76 may be the same as the number of second guide members.

[0418] For example, the first guide members 65A1 and 65B1 may be disposed between the groove 29 of the sensor base 270 and the first groove 75 of the tilting guide portion 60. The second guide members 66A1 and 66A2 may be disposed between the groove 55 of the housing 210 and the second groove 76 of the tilting guide portion 60-1.

[0419] Each of the first and second guide members 65A1, 65B1, 66A1, 66A2 may be a ball member, a rolling member, or a sliding member.

[0420] For example, the first groove 75 of the tilting guide unit 60-1 may include two first grooves 75A and 75B, and the second groove 76 of the tilting guide unit 60-1 may include two second grooves 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 groove 29 of the holder 260 or the groove 55 of the housing 210 may also be applied, or may be applied by analogy, to the shapes of the first groove 75 and the second groove 76 of the tilting guide unit 60-1.

[0421] The first guide members 75A, 75B may define a first axis (eg, an X-axis), and the second guide members 76A, 76B may define a second axis (eg, a Y-axis).

[0422] The tilting guide unit 60 of Figures 9a and 9b may include protrusion-shaped guide members 65 and 66 on a plate-shaped body, and the tilting guide unit 60-1 of Figures 9c and 9d may include a plate-shaped body and ball-shaped guide members 65A1, 65B1, 66A1, and 66B1.

[0423] However, in other embodiments, the tilting guide unit may omit the body and include only the first and second guide members. For example, in other embodiments, the first and second guide members may be ball members 65A1, 65B1, 66A1, and 66B1. Here, the sensor base 270 may have additional grooves formed therein that correspond to, face, or overlap with the first guide members 65A1 and 65B1, and the housing 210 may have additional grooves formed therein that correspond to, face, or overlap with the second guide members 66A1 and 66B1.

[0424] In still other embodiments, the first and second guide members may be rolling members, sliding members (eg, shafts), or rotating members.

[0425] The support portion can include a magnetic body 31 arranged in the fixed portion and a magnetic body 33 arranged in the OIS moving portion.

[0426] 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 other embodiments, the support member 64 may be coupled to the holder 140 or the circuit board 800. For example, the magnetic body 33 may be disposed on the support member 64, and the magnetic body 31 may be disposed on the housing 210.

[0427] A repulsive force may act between the magnetic body 31 and the magnetic body 33. Each of the magnetic bodies 31 and 33 may be made of a magnetic material. For example, each of the magnetic bodies 31 and 33 may be made of a magnetic metal material. Alternatively, for example, each of the magnetic bodies 31 and 33 may be made of a magnetic metal material. Alternatively, for example, each of the magnetic bodies 31 and 33 may be a magnet. For example, each of the magnetic bodies 31 and 33 may be expressed as a "holding magnet." Alternatively, for example, the magnetic bodies 31 and 33 may be expressed as a "repulsive magnet." The tilting guide unit 60 may be in close contact with or in contact with the OIS moving unit and the fixed unit due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic body 31 and the magnetic body 33. That is, the OIS moving unit (or the moving module (e.g., the sensor base 270)) and the fixed unit (e.g., the housing 210) may be attracted to each other due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic body 31 and the magnetic body 33.

[0428] For example, the magnetic body 31 may be disposed in or coupled to the groove 49A of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. At least a portion of the magnetic body 31 may be disposed in the opening 60A of the tilting guide unit 60. For example, the magnetic body 31 may face or overlap the opening 60A of the tilting guide unit 60 in the optical axis direction. For example, the magnetic body 31 may not overlap the tilting guide unit 60 in the optical axis direction. Also, for example, at least a portion of the magnetic body 31 may overlap the tilting guide unit 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0429] The magnetic body 31 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the magnetic body 33 in the optical axis direction. The magnetic body 31 may be a two-pole magnet including one north pole and one south pole. For example, the magnetic body 31 may be a two-pole magnet divided or arranged into north and south poles in the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, the magnetic body 31 may be a two-pole magnet divided or arranged into north and south poles in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In yet another embodiment, the magnetic body 31 may be a four-pole magnet including two north poles and two south poles.

[0430] The magnetic body 33 may be disposed below the magnetic body 31. The magnetic body 33 may be disposed in the OIS operating portion 100. For example, the magnetic body 33 may be disposed in the seating portion 93A of the support member 64. For example, the magnetic body 33 may be coupled to the seating portion 93A of the support member 64. For example, the magnetic body 33 may be coupled, attached, or fixed to the seating portion 93A of the support member 64 by an adhesive.

[0431] The magnetic body 33 may overlap the opening 60A of the tilting guide unit 60 in the optical axis direction. The magnetic body 33 does not have to overlap the tilting guide unit 60 in the optical axis direction. The magnetic body 33 does not have to overlap the tilting guide unit 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In other embodiments, at least a portion of the magnetic body 33 may overlap the tilting guide unit 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0432] When viewed from above, the area of ​​the opening 60A of the tilting guide part 60 may be larger than the area of ​​the upper surface (or lower surface) of the magnetic body 31. Also, when viewed from above, the area of ​​the opening 60A of the tilting guide part 60 may be larger than the area of ​​the upper surface (or lower surface) of the magnetic body 33.

[0433] For example, a repulsive force can act between the magnetic body 33 and the magnetic body 31 in the optical axis direction (or the first direction). For example, the magnetic body 33 and the magnetic body 31 can be arranged so that they face each other in the optical axis direction or so that the opposing surfaces have opposite polarities. For example, the north pole (or south pole) of the magnetic body 33 and the north pole (or south pole) of the magnetic body 31 can face each other or face each other in the optical axis direction.

[0434] For example, the first surface of the magnetic body 33 and the first surface of the magnetic body 31 may face each other, and the first surfaces of the magnetic body 33 and the magnetic body 31 may have the same polarity.

[0435] The tilting guide unit 60 can be in close contact with the OIS moving unit and fixed unit due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic body 33 and the magnetic body 31. The tilting guide unit 60 can be pressed against the sensor base 270 due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic body 33 and the magnetic body 31. The tilting guide unit 60 can be pressed against the housing 210 due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic body 33 and the magnetic body 31.

[0436] Due to the repulsive force acting between the magnetic body 33 and the magnetic body 31, the sensor base 270 and the housing 210 can press the tilting guide part 60. The first protrusion 65 and the second protrusion 66 of the tilting guide part 60 can be in close contact with the sensor base 270 and / or the housing 210.

[0437] Due to the repulsive force between the magnetic body 33 and the magnetic body 31, the tilting guide part 60 can stably support the OIS moving part relative to the fixed part, and stable OIS operation can be performed.

[0438] Furthermore, since at least a portion of the magnetic body 31 is positioned within the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60, the separation distance between the magnetic body 31 and the magnetic body 33 is reduced, thereby increasing the repulsive force between the magnetic body 31 and the magnetic body 33, allowing the OIS moving portion to be stably supported relative to the fixed portion, and enabling stable OIS operation to be performed.

[0439] Furthermore, since the magnetic body 31 is disposed in the central region of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 and the magnetic body 33 is disposed in the center of the support member 64, the repulsive force between the magnetic body 31 and the magnetic body 33 can be concentrated in the center of the sensor base 270 and the center of the housing 210, thereby enabling efficient and stable support of the OIS moving part.

[0440] In another embodiment, the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may be omitted, and the magnetic body 31 may be disposed on the upper surface of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210. Here, the lower portion 42 of the housing 210 may be formed with a seat, for example, a groove, for the magnetic body 31 to be disposed therein.

[0441] In yet another embodiment, the tilting guide unit 60 may be omitted, and the support unit may include rolling members, for example, ball members, disposed between the sensor base 270 and the housing 210. Here, the rolling members may include two first ball members disposed in a direction parallel to one axis and two second ball members disposed in a direction parallel to a second axis, and the OIS moving unit may tilt around the first ball members as an axis or rotate by a predetermined angle, and may tilt around the second ball members as an axis or rotate by a predetermined angle, thereby performing an image stabilization operation.

[0443] 13 to 17, the support member 64 may be disposed below the housing 210 and pass through at least a portion of the housing 210 to couple with the sensor base 270. For example, the support member 64 may be coupled with the underside of the sensor base 270. The support member 64 may not be coupled with a fixed portion, for example, the housing 210, or may not be fixed to the housing 210.

[0444] For example, the support member 64 may be made of an injection-molded, plastic, or resin material, or may be made of a metal material.

[0445] The housing 210 may include an opening 18 through which at least a portion of the support member 64 passes. The opening 18 may be a through-hole formed in the housing 210 in the optical axis direction. For example, the opening 18 may be formed in 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 and the second opening may be spaced apart and positioned diagonally opposite each other on the lower surface of the housing 210, or positioned diagonally opposite each other.

[0446] For example, the first opening 18A may be located adjacent to a first corner CA1 of the housing 210, and the second opening 18B may be located adjacent to a second corner CA2 of the housing 210 that is diagonally opposite the first corner CA1 of the housing 210. In other embodiments, the first opening and the second opening may be located adjacent to the center of a side of the housing 210.

[0447] The support member 64 may include a body 93 in which the magnetic body 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 optical axis direction.

[0448] At least a portion of extension 96 may pass through a portion of housing 210 to couple with sensor base 270. For example, at least a portion of extension 96 may pass through opening 18 in housing 210.

[0449] The extension 96 may include a first extension 94 extending from one side of the body 93, passing through a portion of the housing 210 to couple with the sensor base 270, and a second extension 95 extending from the other side of the body 93, passing through another portion of the housing 210 to couple with the sensor base 270. For example, the first extension 94 may pass through the first opening 18A of the housing 210, and the second extension 95 may pass through the second opening 18B of the housing 210.

[0450] The first extension 94 may include at least one bent portion or curved region, and the second extension 95 may include at least one bent portion or curved region.

[0451] Extension 96 may include coupling portions (or "first portions") 94A, 95A that couple with housing 210 and connecting portions (or "second portions") 94B, 95B that connect coupling portions 94A, 95A to body 93. For example, coupling portions 94B, 95B may be bent or curved away from body 93, and coupling portions 94A, 95A may be bent or curved away from connecting portions 94B, 95B. For example, coupling portions 94B, 95B may pass through openings 18 in housing 210.

[0452] In order to avoid causing spatial interference with the first and second magnet units 310A, 310B, a portion of the support member 64, for example, the extension portion 96, may pass through the housing 210 and not overlap with the first and second magnet units 310A, 310B in the optical axis direction.

[0453] The sensor base 270 may include protrusions 219A and 219B, and the support member 64 may include through-holes 8A and 8B or through-holes that couple with the protrusions 219A and 219B of the sensor base 270. For example, the first extension 94 may include a first through-hole 8A, and the second extension 95 may include a second through-hole. For example, the first through-hole 8A may be formed in the first connecting portion 94A, and the second through-hole 8B may be formed in the second connecting portion 95A.

[0454] For example, protrusions 219A, 219B may be formed on the lower surface of sensor base 270 that correspond to protrusions 219A, 219B of support member 64.

[0455] The sensor base 270 may include a protrusion 217 for guiding the connection with the support member 64. The protrusion 217 may be expressed interchangeably 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 arranged to surround at least a portion of the projections 219A, 219B or / and at least a portion of the extension 96 of the support member 64.

[0456] For example, the sensor base 270 may include a first protrusion 217A surrounding the first protrusion 219A and at least a portion of the first extension 94 (e.g., the coupling portion 94A), and a second protrusion 217B surrounding the second protrusion 219B and at least a portion of the second extension 95 (e.g., the coupling portion 95A). The protrusion length of the protrusion 217 may be greater than the protrusions 219A and 219B relative to the lower surface of the housing 210. In other embodiments, the protrusion length of the protrusion 217 may be the same as or less than the protrusions 219A and 219B. For example, the protrusions 219A and 219B and the through-holes 8A and 8B may be bonded together with an adhesive.

[0457] In another embodiment, the opening 18 in the support member 64 is omitted, the protrusions 219A, 219B in the sensor base 270 are omitted, and the extension 96 of the support member 64 and the sensor base 270 can be bonded together with an adhesive.

[0458] In yet another embodiment, the opening 18 in the support member 64 may be omitted, a protrusion may be formed on the extension 96, the protrusions 219A, 219B may be omitted, and the sensor base 270 may include holes or grooves that mate with the protrusions on the extension 96.

[0459] In yet another embodiment, the opening 18 in the support member 64 may be omitted, the protrusions 219A, 219B in the sensor base 270 may be omitted, and the sensor base 270 may include a groove for coupling with at least a portion of the support member 64 (e.g., at least a portion of the extension 96).

[0460] 7a and 13, the support member 64 may include a seat 93A for accommodating or disposing the magnetic substance 33. The seat 93A may be disposed on or formed on the body 93. For example, the seat 93A may include at least one protrusion protruding from the upper surface of the body 93, and the at least one protrusion may support the side of the magnetic substance 33. For example, the seat 93A may include a plurality of protrusions protruding from the body 93, and the magnetic substance 33 may be disposed inside the plurality of protrusions. For example, the magnetic substance 33 may be bonded to the body 93, e.g., the seat 93A, by an adhesive. For example, the seat 93A may be disposed in the center or central region of the body 93.

[0461] In another embodiment, the seating portion 93A may not be in the form of a protrusion, but may be in the form of a groove recessed from the upper surface of the body 93, and the magnetic body 33 may be disposed in the groove of the body 93.

[0462] 14 , the housing 210 may include a receiving portion 39 for positioning or receiving at least a portion of the support member 64. For example, the receiving portion 39 may be a groove recessed from the lower surface 52 of the housing 210. For example, the receiving portion 39 may be recessed from the lower surface 52 of the lower portion 42 of the housing 210.

[0463] For example, the accommodating portion 39 may include a bottom surface 39A that is stepped relative to the bottom surface 52 of the housing 210 in the optical axis direction, and a side surface 39B that connects the bottom surface 39A to the bottom surface 52 of the housing 210. For example, the accommodating portion 39 may have a shape that matches or corresponds to the shape of the support member 64. The opening 18 described above may be formed through the bottom surface 39A of the accommodating portion 39. For example, the depth of the accommodating 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 within the accommodating portion 39 and may not protrude outside the accommodating portion 39. In other embodiments, the depth of the accommodating portion 39 may be less than or equal to the length of the support member 64 in the optical axis direction. In still other embodiments, the support member 64 may protrude outside the accommodating portion 39. In other embodiments, the accommodating portion 39 may be omitted.

[0464] The housing 210 may include a recess 38 for avoiding spatial interference with the magnetic body 33 and / or the seating portion 93A. The recess 38 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the magnetic body 33 and / or the seating portion 93A in the optical axis direction. For example, the recess 38 may be recessed from the lower surface 52 of the housing 210. For example, the recess 38 may be a groove recessed from the bottom surface 39A of the accommodation portion 39 of the housing 210.

[0465] For example, the relief 38 may include a bottom surface 38A and a side surface 38B.

The side surface 38B may connect the bottom surface 38A to the bottom surface 39A of the accommodating portion 39 (or the lower surface 52 of the housing 210). The escape portion 38 may have a shape that corresponds to or matches the magnetic body 33 and / or the seating portion 93A.

[0467] 15 and 16, the support member 64 may be positioned to extend from a first corner of the housing 210 to a second corner of the housing 210 diagonally opposite the first corner.

[0468] In other embodiments, the support member 64 may be positioned to extend from a first side of the housing 210 to a first side facing or opposite the first side. In still other embodiments, the support member 64 may be positioned to extend from any side of the housing 210 to any corner of the housing 210.

[0469] 12 and 18a, when viewed from above or in the optical axis direction, the first magnet unit 310A may overlap the protrusions 65A and 65B in the direction in which the protrusions 65A and 65B of the tilting guide part 60 face each other. Also, when viewed from above or in the optical axis direction, the second magnet unit 310B may overlap the protrusions 65A and 65B in the direction in which the protrusions 66A and 66B of the tilting guide part 60 face each other.

[0470] 4a and 4b, the tilting guide portion 60 may overlap the magnet 310 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the first magnet unit 310A may overlap the tilting guide portion 60 in a second direction, and the second magnet unit 310B may overlap the tilting guide portion 60 in a third direction.

[0471] For example, the magnet 310 may be disposed below the image sensor 810. For example, the magnet 310 may be disposed below the filter 610. For example, the magnet 310 may be located below the holder 140. For example, the magnet 310 may be disposed below the sensor base 270. For example, the upper surface of the magnet 310 may be located below the lower surface of the sensor base 270. The upper surface of the magnet 310 may be located below the lower surface of the holder 140. For example, the magnet 310 may be located below the ball member 21.

[0472] Furthermore, at least a portion of the magnet 310 may overlap with the magnetic body 31 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the top surface of the magnet 310 may be located lower than the top surface of the magnetic body 31. In other embodiments, the top surface of the magnet 310 may be located higher than or at the same height as the top surface of the magnetic body 31.

[0473] For example, the magnetic body 33 may be located lower than the magnet 310 .

[0474] The magnetic body 33 may not overlap the magnet 310 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In other embodiments, at least a portion of the magnetic body 33 may overlap the magnet 310 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0475] For example, the upper surface of the magnetic body 33 may be located higher than the upper surface of the magnet 310, e.g., the upper surfaces of the magnet units 310A and 310B. In other embodiments, the upper surface of the magnetic body 33 may be located higher than or at the same height as the upper surface of the magnet 310.

[0476] The magnetic body 33 may be located below the tilting guide unit 60. For example, at least a portion of the magnetic body 33 may overlap with the tilting guide unit 60 or the protrusion 66 of the tilting guide unit 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In other embodiments, for example, at least a portion of the magnetic body 33 may not overlap with the tilting guide unit 60 or the protrusion 66 of the tilting guide unit 60 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0477] For example, the upper surface of the magnetic body 33 may be located lower than the lower surface of the tilting guide part 60. In other embodiments, the upper surface of the magnetic body 33 may be located higher than or at the same height as the lower surface of the tilting guide part 60.

[0478] For example, the upper surface of the magnetic body 33 may be located higher than the lowest point of the protrusion 66 of the tilting guide part 60. In other embodiments, the upper surface of the magnetic body 33 may be located lower than or at the same height as the lowest point of the protrusion 66 of the tilting guide part 60.

[0479] Referring to Figures 12 and 13a, the first length L1 of the first magnet unit 310A in the second direction (x-axis direction) may be smaller than the second length L2 of the first magnet unit 310A in the third direction (y-axis direction).

[0480] For example, the first length L1 may be smaller than the length M2 of the tilting guide unit 60 in the second direction. For example, the first length L1 may be larger than the length M1 between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the tilting guide unit 60 in the second direction. For example, M1 may be the shortest distance in the second direction between the outer surface of the tilting guide unit 60 and the opening 60A of the tilting guide unit 60. In other embodiments, L1 may be the same as or smaller than M1.

[0481] For example, the first length L1 may be smaller than the length M5 in the second direction of the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60. Also, for example, the first length L1 may be smaller than the length in the second direction of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. In other embodiments, the first length L1 may be larger than or equal to the length in the second direction of the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60.

[0482] For example, the second length L2 may be smaller than the length M4 of the tilting guide part 60 in the third direction. In other embodiments, the second length L2 may be greater than or equal to the length M4 of the tilting guide part 60 in the third direction.

[0483] For example, the second length L2 may be greater than the length M6 in the third direction of the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60. For example, the second length L2 may be greater than the length M6 in the third direction of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. In other embodiments, the second length L2 may be less than or equal to the length M6 in the third direction of the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60.

[0484] Referring to Figures 12 and 13a, the third length L3 of the second magnet unit 310B in the third direction (y-axis direction) may be smaller than the fourth length L4 of the second magnet unit 310B in the second direction (x-axis direction).

[0485] For example, the third length L3 may be smaller than the length M4 of the tilting guide unit 60 in the third direction. For example, the third length L3 may be larger than the length M3 between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the tilting guide unit 60 in the third direction. For example, M3 may be the shortest distance between the outer surface of the tilting guide unit 60 and the opening 60A of the tilting guide unit 60 in the third direction. In other embodiments, L3 may be the same as or smaller than M3.

[0486] For example, the third length L3 may be smaller than the length M6 in the third direction of the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60. Also, for example, the third length L3 may be smaller than the length in the third direction of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. In other embodiments, the third length L3 may be larger than or equal to the length in the third direction of the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60.

[0487] For example, the fourth length L4 may be smaller than the length M2 of the tilting guide portion 60 in the second direction. In other embodiments, the fourth length L4 may be greater than or equal to the length M2 of the tilting guide portion 60 in the second direction.

[0488] For example, the fourth length L4 may be greater than the length M5 in the second direction of the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60. For example, the fourth length L4 may be greater than the length in the second direction of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. In other embodiments, the fourth length L4 may be less than or equal to the length in the second direction of the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60.

[0489] For example, the third length L3 may be equal to the first length L1. In other embodiments, L3 may be less than or greater than L1. For example, the second length L2 may be equal to the fourth length L4. In other embodiments, L2 may be less than or greater than L4.

[0490] For example, the upper surface of the magnet 310 may be located below the upper surface of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. This is to ensure sufficient space to avoid spatial interference between the magnet 310 and the lower surface of the sensor base.

[0491] In another embodiment, the top surface of the magnet 310 may be positioned higher than the top surface of the protrusion 49 of the housing 210. In yet another embodiment, the top surfaces of the magnet 310 and the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 may be at the same height.

[0492] For example, the upper surface of the magnet 310 may be located below the highest point of the protrusion 65 of the tilting guide portion 60 .

[0493] When viewed from above or along the optical axis, the protrusions 65A, 65B, the magnet 31, and the first magnet unit 310A may overlap one another in the second direction. When viewed from above or along the optical axis, the protrusions 66A, 66B, the magnet 31, and the second magnet unit 310B may overlap one another in the third direction.

[0494] Fig. 18a is a diagram for explaining electromagnetic forces F1 and F2 due to the interaction between magnet units 310A and 310B and coil units 230A and 230B and the operation of tilting guide unit 60, and Fig. 18b shows the operation of OIS moving unit 100 due to the electromagnetic forces of Fig. 18a. Fig. 18a shows the electromagnetic forces when first and second magnet units 310A and 310B are two-pole magnets having a north pole and a south pole.

[0495] 18a and 18b, the operation of the OIS moving unit by the OIS driving unit will be described. The "OIS driving unit" can also be expressed as a driving unit. The OIS driving unit can tilt the OIS moving unit (e.g., a moving module) relative to a fixed unit (e.g., housing 210). For example, the OIS driving unit can include a coil 230 and a magnet 310. The OIS driving unit can also include a position sensor 240.

[0496] A first electromagnetic force F1 may be generated by the interaction between the first magnet unit 310A and the first coil unit 230A. For example, the first electromagnetic force F1 may act in the optical axis direction, for example, in the upward or downward direction.

[0497] The first electromagnetic force F1 can tilt the OIS moving unit around a second axis (e.g., the Y axis or the second protrusion 66). For example, the first electromagnetic force F1 can tilt the OIS moving unit around the second axis. Here, the second axis (Y axis) tilting can mean that the OIS moving unit tilts around the second axis (Y axis) or that the OIS moving unit rotates left and right by a preset angle around the second axis (Y axis) as the rotation axis.

[0498] For example, the first electromagnetic force F1 can tilt the tilting guide part 60 about the second axis (e.g., the Y axis) (or the protrusions 66A, 66B of the second protrusion 66). For example, the first electromagnetic force F1 can tilt the tilting guide part 60 about the second axis.

[0499] 4b, in order for the OIS moving unit to tilt based on the second axis (or the second protrusion 66 of the tilting guide unit 60), a gap or space must exist between the tilting guide unit 60 and the OIS moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) due to the first protrusion 65 of the tilting guide unit 60. For example, there may be a gap or space between the upper surface 6A of the tilting guide unit 60 and the OIS moving unit (e.g., the sensor base 270) that allows the tilting guide unit 60 to move. For example, the upper surface 6A of the tilting guide unit 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.

[0500] A 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 act in an upward or downward direction.

[0501] The second electromagnetic force F2 can tilt the OIS moving unit around a first axis (e.g., the X-axis) (or the ball member 62). For example, the second electromagnetic force F2 can tilt the OIS moving unit around the first axis. Here, first-axis (X-axis) tilting can mean that the OIS moving unit tilts around the first axis (X-axis) or that the OIS moving unit rotates left and right by a preset angle around the first axis (X-axis) as the rotation axis.

[0502] For example, the second electromagnetic force F2 can tilt the tilting guide unit 60 about a first axis (e.g., the X-axis or the ball member 62). For example, the second electromagnetic force F2 can tilt the tilting guide unit 60 about the first axis.

[0503] Referring to FIG. 4a, in order for the OIS moving part to tilt based on the first axis (or ball member 62), a gap or space must exist between the tilting guide part 60 and the fixed part (e.g., housing 210) due to the second protrusion 66 of the tilting guide part 60.

[0504] For example, there may be a space or gap between the lower surface 6B of the tilting guide unit 60 and the fixed part (e.g., the housing 210) that allows the tilting guide unit 60 to move. For example, the lower surface 6B of the tilting guide unit 60 may be spaced apart from the fixed part (e.g., the housing 210) or the upper surface of the lower part 42 of the housing 210.

[0505] For example, the tilting guide unit 60 may come into contact with a fixed unit (e.g., the housing 210) due to the first or second axis tilt. Here, the fixed unit may function as a stopper that suppresses the tilt of the OIS moving unit.

[0506] In other embodiments, the first electromagnetic force due to the interaction between the first magnet unit and the first coil unit and the second electromagnetic force due to the interaction between the second magnet unit and the second coil unit may act in a direction different from the optical axis (e.g., a perpendicular direction, e.g., the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction).

[0507] In a camera device in which the image sensor is fixed but the lens moves in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis for image stabilization or shake correction (hereinafter referred to as "Comparative Example 1"), image distortion may occur. Furthermore, in a camera device in which the lens is fixed and not moved but the image sensor is moved or tilted for image stabilization or shake correction (hereinafter referred to as "Comparative Example 2"), image distortion may occur at the edge or corner of the image sensor. In Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the image sensor and lens are separated, and only one of the image sensor and lens is moved or tilted, so image distortion may occur during image stabilization, making it difficult to achieve wide-angle image stabilization.

[0508] In this embodiment, for image stabilization, the OIS driver can tilt the OIS moving unit about a first axis or a second axis or rotate it within a preset angle range. In this embodiment, the OIS moving unit includes the lens module 1400 and the image sensor 1810. Therefore, when the OIS is driven, the tilting direction (or rotation direction) and tilting angle (or rotation angle) of the lens module (e.g., lens or lens barrel) 400 (or bobbin 1110) can be the same or nearly the same as the tilting direction (or rotation direction) and tilting angle (or rotation angle) of the image sensor 1810.

[0509] In this embodiment, when the OIS is activated, the lens module 1400 (or bobbin 1110) and the image sensor 1810 can tilt or rotate together, resulting in no image distortion, 100% image resolution, and wide-angle image stabilization or shake correction.

[0510] In addition, in this embodiment, wideband shake correction is possible because the OIS moving unit including the lens module 1400 (or bobbin 1110) and the image sensor 1810 tilts or rotates. In addition, in this embodiment, image correction without mechanical distortion is possible, so compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the load on the image processing is smaller, and current consumption can be reduced.

[0511] In addition, in this embodiment, since the tilting guide part 60 is used for tilting the OIS moving part, the OIS moving part can be tilted stably, precisely and accurately compared to examples that simply use a ball member or a shaft member, etc., thereby improving the reliability of the OIS drive.

[0512] In addition, in this embodiment, the bent portions 804D, 804E and the third portion 804C of the fourth substrate 804, which is a flexible substrate of the circuit board 800, can reduce the power consumption required to drive the OIS.

[0513] In addition, in the embodiment, the tilting guide portion 60 is arranged within the seat portion 69 of the housing 210, and the protrusion 49 of the housing 210 overlaps with the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60, so that the height or length of the camera device 200 in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

[0514] In addition, in the embodiment, at least a portion of the magnetic body 31 is positioned within the opening 60A of the tilting guide portion 60, so that the separation distance between the magnetic body 31 and the magnetic body 33 can be reduced, thereby increasing the attractive force or holding force for supporting the OIS moving portion, and enabling stable OIS driving.

[0515] In addition, in the embodiment, the first magnet unit 310A and the second magnet unit 310B, which are driving magnets for image stabilization, are arranged in the lower part 42 of the housing 210, not in the sides 71A to 71D of the housing 210, so that the thickness (or the length in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis) of the sides 71A to 71D of the housing 210 can be reduced, and therefore the camera device can be designed so that a large-diameter lens can be attached.

[0516] For example, the horizontal and vertical lengths of the camera device 200 according to the embodiment may 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 bottom surface of the housing 210 to the top surface of the top plate of the cover member 300. The diameter of the lens attached to the camera device 200 may be 9 mm to 19 mm. In other embodiments, the diameter of the lens attached to the camera device 200 may be 9 mm to 15 mm. If the diameter of the lens exceeds 19 mm, the arrangement of the coil 120 and the magnet 130 may be impossible or the sizes of the coil 120 and the magnet 130 may be limited to an extent that is insufficient for AF drive.

[0517] Furthermore, if a driving magnet for image stabilization is disposed on the side of the housing 210, the length of the driving magnet in the optical axis direction may be limited. However, in this embodiment, the driving magnet 310 is disposed in the lower portion 42 of the housing 210, so that the length of the camera device 200 in the optical axis direction is not limited by the length of the driving magnet in the optical axis direction, and the length of the camera device 200 in the optical axis direction can be designed to be reduced. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driving magnet 310 is disposed on the seating portions 141A and 141B of the housing 210, so that the length of the camera device 200 in the optical axis direction can be further reduced.

[0518] FIG. 19 is a perspective view of a camera device 200 including a lens module 400. As shown in FIG.

[0519] 19, the lens module 400 may be coupled to the bobbin 100 and may move together with the bobbin 110 in the optical axis direction. For example, the lens module 400 may include at least one of a lens and a lens barrel.

[0520] In an embodiment, during image stabilization or shake correction, the lens module 400 and the image sensor 810 may simultaneously tilt along the X axis or the Y axis by the same angle in the same direction.

[0521] 20a shows the OIS moving part 100 in a first position, and FIG. 20b shows the OIS moving part 100 in a second position.

[0522] 18a, 20a, and 20b, the OIS moving unit 100 can tilt by a predetermined angle θ1 due to a 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, the image sensor 810 and the lens module 400 can simultaneously tilt by the predetermined angle θ1. Furthermore, when the OIS moving unit 100 moves from the first position to the second position, the tilting guide unit 60 can tilt by the predetermined angle θ1 together with the image sensor 810 and the lens module 400.

[0523] Therefore, the embodiment can obtain 100% image resolution without image distortion and can perform wide-angle image stabilization or shake correction. The description of Figures 20a and 20b can also be applied to the X-axis tilting of the OIS moving unit 100, or can be applied by analogy.

[0524] Figure 21a shows the arrangement of coil 3230 and position sensor 3240 according to another embodiment, and Figure 21b shows the arrangement of magnet 3310 corresponding to coil 3230 in Figure 21a. Coil 3230 may have a configuration corresponding to coil 230 in Figure 2a, and magnet 3310 may have a configuration corresponding to magnet 310 in Figure 2a. Position sensor 1240 may have a configuration corresponding to position sensor 240 in Figure 2a.

[0525] 21a and 21b, for example, the first coil unit 3230A may correspond to, face, or overlap with the first magnet unit 3310A in the second direction (X-axis direction). The second coil unit 3230B may correspond to, face, or overlap with the second magnet unit 3310B in the third direction (Y-axis direction). For example, at least a portion of the first coil unit 3230A may face or overlap with the coil 120 in the second direction.

[0526] For example, the second substrate 802 of the substrate 800A may include a first extension 802A that is disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the first side 41A of the holder 140. The second substrate 802 may also include a second extension 802B that is disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the second side 41B of the holder 140. The second substrate 802 may also include a third extension 802C that is disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the third side 41C of the holder 140.

[0527] For example, the first extension 802A may be connected to a first side of the first substrate 801, the second extension 802B may be connected to a second side of the first substrate 801 opposite the first side, and the third extension 802C may be connected to a third side of the first substrate 801 located between the first and second sides 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 sides of the first substrate 801. Each of the first to third extensions 802A to 802C may extend upward from the first substrate 801.

[0528] For example, the first coil unit 3230A may be disposed on the second side 41B of the holder 140, and the second coil unit 3230B may be disposed on the third side 41C of the holder 140. For example, the holder 140 of Fig. 21a may include a first seat (not shown) disposed on the second side 41B for disposing the first coil unit 3230A, and a second seat (not shown) disposed on the third side 41C for disposing the second coil unit 3230B. For example, each of the first and second seats of the holder 140 may be in the form of a through-hole or a groove.

[0529] For example, the coil 120 may be disposed on or coupled to the first extension 802A of the second substrate 802 and be conductively or electrically connected to the first extension 802A.

[0530] For example, the first coil unit 3230A may be disposed on or coupled to the second extension portion 802B of the second substrate 802 and be conductively or electrically connected to the second extension portion 802B. The second coil unit 3230B may be disposed on or coupled to the third extension portion 802C of the second substrate 802 and be conductively or electrically connected to the third extension portion 802C.

[0531] For example, each of the first and second coil units 3230A, 3230B may be hollow or include a hole. For example, each of the first and second coil units 3230A, 3230B may have a ring shape or a closed curve shape. For example, the first coil unit 3230A may be ring-shaped wound around a straight line that is perpendicular to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the outer surface of the second side portion 41B of the holder 140, and the second coil unit 3230B may be ring-shaped wound around a straight line that is perpendicular to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the outer surface of the third side portion 41C of the holder 140. For example, each of the first and second coil units 3230A, 3230B may be ring-shaped with a longer length in the horizontal direction (or third direction) than in the vertical direction (or optical axis direction).

[0532] For example, the first sensor 3240A may be disposed within the hollow (or hole) of the first coil unit 3230A, and the second sensor 3240B may be disposed within the hollow (or hole) of the second coil unit 3230B. In other embodiments, the first sensor 3240A may be disposed outside the hollow (or hole) of the first coil unit 3230A, and the second sensor 3240B may be disposed outside the hollow (or hole) of the second coil unit 3230B.

[0533] For example, at least a portion of the first sensor 3240A may correspond to, face, or overlap with at least a portion of the first magnet unit 3310A in the second direction. 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, face, or overlap with at least a portion of the second magnet unit 3310B in the third direction. For example, the center of the second sensor 3240A may overlap with the second magnet unit 3310B in the third direction.

[0534] The magnet 3310 may include a first magnet unit 3310A disposed on the second side 71B of the housing 210 and a second magnet unit 3310B disposed on the third side 71B of the housing 210.

[0535] For example, the first magnet unit 3310A and the second magnet unit 3310B may be arranged to be offset in the second or third direction. For example, the first magnet unit 3310A and the second magnet unit 3310B may be arranged in the housing 210 so as not to overlap with each other in the second or third direction. For example, the first magnet unit 3310A and the second magnet unit 3310B may be arranged on two different sides of the housing 210 so as not to overlap with each other in the second or third direction.

[0536] In another embodiment, the magnet 1310 may be disposed in the holder 140, and the coil 1230 may be disposed in the housing 210. For example, in Figures 21a and 21b, the positions of the magnet 3310 and the coil 3230 may be reversed. Here, the camera device 200 may include a separate current-carrying part, such as a circuit board, a circuit member, or a conductive member, that electrically connects the second coil 3230 and the circuit board 800A.

[0537] The housing 210 may include a first seat (not shown) disposed on the second side 71B of the housing 210 for disposing the first magnet unit 3310A, and a second seat (not shown) disposed on the third side 71C of the housing 210 for disposing the second magnet unit 3310B. For example, each of the first and second seats of the housing 210 may be in the form of a through-hole or a groove.

[0539] 22a to 32, a camera device 1200 can include a fixed unit, an AF moving unit, an OIS moving unit 1100, and a support unit. The OIS moving unit 1100 can also be expressed interchangeably as an "operating unit," a "vibrating unit," a "moving unit," a "moving module," or a "tilting module."

[0540] The fixed portion may be a fixed element. That is, the fixed portion may not move in the optical axis direction. Alternatively, the fixed portion may not move or tilt in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Also, a structure coupled to the fixed portion may correspond to the fixed portion.

[0541] The fixing portion may include a housing 1210. The fixing portion may include a cover member 1300. For example, the fixing portion may include a configuration disposed on or coupled to the housing 1210 or the cover member 1300. For example, the fixing portion may include any one of a coil 1230, a magnetic body 1032, and a movement suppressing portion 1080 disposed on the housing 1210.

[0542] The AF moving unit can move in the optical axis direction relative to the fixed unit. For example, the AF moving unit can include a bobbin 1110. In another embodiment, the AF moving unit can further include a structure (e.g., a magnet 1130) coupled to the bobbin 1110. In another embodiment, the AF moving unit can further include a lens module 1400 (see FIG. 24) coupled to the bobbin 1110.

[0543] The OIS moving unit 100 (see FIG. 22a) can move or tilt left and right relative to the fixed unit about a first axis (e.g., X-axis (e.g., Pitch)) that intersects with the optical axis (or optical axis direction). The OIS moving unit can also move or tilt left and right relative to the fixed unit about a second axis (e.g., Y-axis (e.g., Yaw)) that intersects with the optical axis (or optical axis direction).

[0544] For example, the first axis may intersect the optical axis (or the optical axis direction), and the second axis may intersect the optical axis (or the 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.

[0545] For example, the OIS moving unit may include an AF moving unit. The OIS moving unit may also include an image sensor 1810. The OIS moving unit may also include a circuit board 1800 on which the image sensor 1810 is disposed. The OIS moving unit may also include a sensor base 1270 on which at least a portion of the circuit board 1800 is disposed. The OIS moving unit may also include a holder 1140 coupled to the sensor base 1270. The OIS moving unit may be referred to as a first moving unit (or first moving unit), and the AF moving unit may be referred to as a second moving unit (or second moving unit). For example, the first moving unit may include the sensor base 1270 and the circuit board 1800.

[0546] For example, the OIS moving unit may include a configuration disposed on or coupled to any 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 disposed on the holder 1140. For example, the OIS moving unit may include the magnetic material 1031 disposed on the sensor base 1270. For example, the OIS moving unit may include any one of the image sensor 1810, the position sensor 1170, the coil 1120, the gyro sensor 1820, the circuit element 1815, and the control unit 1830 disposed on the circuit board 1800.

[0547] The support portion can support the OIS moving portion relative to the fixed portion, for example, the support portion can include a tilting guide portion 1060. For example, the support portion can include rolling members 1062, 1063.

[0548] The bobbin 1110 is for housing a lens or lens barrel and may be placed in a holder 1140. The bobbin 1110 may also be referred to interchangeably as a "lens holder" or a "lens carrier."

[0549] 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) due to electromagnetic interaction between the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130. The coil 1120 and the magnet 1130 can be an AF drive unit that moves or drives an AF drive unit.

[0550] In addition, the bobbin 1110 is included in the OIS moving part, and the bobbin 1110 can be tilted based on the first axis or the second axis or rotated by a preset angle.

[0551] 25, the bobbin 1110 may include an opening 1101 for coupling with the lens module 1400. The shape of the opening 1101 of the bobbin 1110 may match the shape of the lens module 1400 to be attached, and may be, for example, but not limited to, a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon.

[0552] 22a, the bobbin 1110 may include at least one stopper disposed on at least one of the upper and lower surfaces. The stopper of the bobbin 1110 has a structure that protrudes in a first direction or upward (or downward) from the upper surface (or lower surface) of the bobbin 1110, and can prevent the upper surface of the bobbin 1110 from directly hitting the inner surface of the upper plate 1301 of the cover member 1300 (or the lower part of the holder 1140).

[0553] The bobbin 1110 may include a seat 1115 for seating or positioning the magnet 1130. For example, the seat 1115 may be a groove recessed from the outer surface of the bobbin 1110.

[0554] 26, the bobbin 1110 can include multiple side surfaces 1110A to 1110D or outer surfaces. For example, the bobbin 1110 can include a first side surface 1110A, a second side surface 1110B, a third side surface 1110C, and a fourth side surface 1110D.

[0555] For example, the second side surface 1110B may face the first side surface 1110A or may be located on the opposite side of the first side surface 1110A relative 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 located on the opposite side of the third side surface 1110C relative to the optical axis OA. While FIG. 6 illustrates a bobbin 1110 including four sides, other embodiments may include three or five or more sides.

[0556] For example, the seat 1115 may be formed on the first side 1110A of the bobbin. For example, the lower portion of the seat 1115 may be closed without opening at the lower surface of the bobbin 1110. Also, the upper portion of the seat 1115 may be closed without opening at the upper surface of the bobbin 1110. In other embodiments, for example, the seat 1115 may include an opening that opens at at least one of the upper surface or the lower surface of the bobbin 1110.

[0557] The bobbin 1110 may include a receiving portion 1112 for receiving at least a portion of the rolling member 1021. For example, at least a portion of the receiving portion 1112 may be disposed on a first side surface 1110A of the bobbin 1110. The receiving portion 1112 may be a groove recessed from an outer surface (e.g., the first side surface 1110A) of the bobbin 1110. The receiving portion 1112 may be interchangeably referred to as an "accommodating groove," "groove," or "guide groove." A lubricant (e.g., grease) may be disposed within the receiving portion 1112 of the bobbin 1110 to reduce friction with the rolling member 1021.

[0558] For example, the bobbin 1110 may include a first receiving portion 1112A for receiving the rolling member 1021A and a second receiving portion 1112B for receiving the rolling member 1021B. For example, the seat 1115 may be disposed between the first receiving portion 1112A and the second receiving portion 1112B.

[0559] For example, the first receiving portion 1112A (or the second receiving portion 1112B) may include an opening that opens to the top surface of the bobbin 1110. In other embodiments, the tops of the receiving portions 1112A, 1112B may be closed without opening to the top surface of the bobbin 1110. For example, the bottoms of the receiving portions 1112A, 1112B may be closed without opening to the bottom surface of the bobbin 1110.

[0560] For example, the receiving portion 1112 may be formed to extend in the optical axis direction. For example, the receiving portion 1112 may be formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the bobbin 1110 and extend in the optical axis direction.

[0561] For example, when viewed from above, the shape of the receiving portion 1112 may be, but is not limited to, a triangle, and may be a polygon (e.g., a square, a pentagon, etc.), or, for example, when viewed from above, the receiving portion 1112 may be "V"-shaped or "U"-shaped.

[0562] 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 1110A of the bobbin 1110. For example, the magnet 1130 may be disposed within or coupled to the seat 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.

[0563] The shape of the magnet 1130 may be, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape, corresponding to the first side surface 1110A of the bobbin 1110. In another embodiment, for example, at least one of both ends of the magnet 1130 may be tapered.

[0564] For example, the magnet 1130 may include a first side 13A facing the coil 1120 and a second side 13B opposite the first side 13A. The first side 13A of the magnet 1130 may be exposed from the first side 1110A of the bobbin 1110.

[0565] Additionally, to increase the electromagnetic force, the magnet 1130 can be a four-pole magnet. For example, the magnet 1130 can include two north poles and two south poles.

[0566] For example, the magnet 1130 may include a first magnet including a north pole and a south pole, a second magnet including a south pole and a north pole, and a partition wall disposed between the first and second magnets. Here, the partition wall is a substantially non-magnetic portion and may include a section with almost no polarity, and may be filled with air or made of a non-magnetic material, and may also be referred to as a "neutral zone." For example, the first and second magnets may face each other in the optical axis direction, and the first and second magnets may be disposed such that their opposite polarities face each other in the optical axis direction.

[0567] In other embodiments, magnet 1130 may be a two-pole magnet having two opposite polarities and a naturally formed interface between the opposite polarities. For example, in other embodiments, magnet 1130 may include one north pole and one south pole.

[0568] For example, magnet 1130 may be a two-pole magnet divided into or arranged with a north pole and a south pole in the direction of the optical axis. In another embodiment, magnet 1130 may be a magnet divided into or arranged with a north pole and a south pole in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In yet another embodiment, magnet 1130 may be a two-pole magnet divided into a north pole and a south pole in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0569] The holder 1140 may be disposed inside the cover member 1300. The holder 1140 may include a cavity for accommodating 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 for exposing at least a portion of the bobbin 1110 (or the lens module 1400). Also, for example, the opening 1030A of the holder 1140 may expose an imaging area of ​​the image sensor 1810. The holder 1140 may also be expressed interchangeably as a "housing."

[0570] 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 that penetrates the holder 1140 in the optical axis direction. The opening 1030A of the holder 1140 may have a shape that corresponds to the shape of the bobbin 1110, for example, a polygon (e.g., a square or an octagon) or a circle (or an ellipse), but is not limited thereto, and may have various shapes.

[0571] The holder 1140 may include a plurality of sides 1041A to 1041D. The holder 1140 may include a corner located between and connecting two adjacent sides.

[0572] The holder 1140 may include a first side 1041A corresponding to or facing the first side 1110A of the bobbin 1110, a second side 1041B corresponding to or facing the second side 1110B of the bobbin 1110, a third side 1041C corresponding to or facing the third side 1110C of the bobbin 1110, and a fourth side 1041D corresponding to or facing the fourth side 1110D of the bobbin 1110.

[0573] The first side 1041A (or first side surface or first outer surface) of the holder 1140 may be located opposite the second side 1041B (or second side surface or second outer surface) of the holder 1140 based on the optical axis, and the third side 1041C (or third side surface or third outer surface) of the holder 1140 may be located opposite the fourth side 1041D (or fourth side surface or fourth outer surface) of the holder 1140 based on the optical axis.

[0574] Each of the first to fourth side portions 1041A to 1041D of the holder 1140 can be arranged parallel to a corresponding one of the side plates 1302 of the cover member 1300.

[0575] 27a and 27b, the holder 1140 may include a seat 1142A for disposing the coil 1120. For example, the seat 1142A may be disposed or formed on the first side 1041A of the holder 1140. For example, the seat 1142A may be a through-hole formed through the first side 1041A of the holder 1140. Because the seat 1142A is in the form of a through-hole, a part of the holder 1140 does not need to be interposed between the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130, thereby increasing the electromagnetic force between the magnet 1130 and the coil 1120. Furthermore, because a part of the holder 1140 does not need to be interposed between the position sensor 1170 and the magnet 1130, the output of the position sensor 1170 may be increased, thereby improving the sensitivity of the position sensor 1170.

[0576] In another embodiment, the seat 1142A may be a groove recessed from the outer surface (or inner surface) of the first side 1041A of the holder 1140.

[0577] The holder 1140 may include seats 1143A and 1143B for placing the magnet 1310. For example, the holder 1140 may include a first seat 1143A for placing the first magnet unit 1310A and a second seat 1143B for placing the second magnet unit 1310B.

[0578] For example, the first seat 1143A may be disposed or formed on the second side 1041B of the holder 1140. For example, the first seat 1143A may be a groove recessed from the outer surface (or inner surface) of the second side 1041B of the holder 1140.

[0579] For example, the second seat 1143B may be disposed or formed on the third side 1041C of the holder 1140. For example, the second seat 1143B may be a groove recessed from the outer surface (or outer surface) of the third side 1041C of the holder 1140.

[0580] In another embodiment, first seating portion 1143A may be a through-hole formed in second side portion 1041B of holder 1140, and second seating portion 1143B may be a through-hole formed in third side portion 1041C of holder 1140. Here, because seating portions 1143A and 1143B are in the form of through-holes, a part of holder 1140 does not need to be interposed between coil 1230 and magnet 1310. This increases the electromagnetic force between magnet 1310 and coil 1230. In addition, because a part of holder 1140 does not need to be interposed between position sensor 1240 and magnet 1310, the output of position sensor 1240 can be increased, improving the sensitivity of position sensor 1240.

[0581] For example, the holder 1140 may include a groove 1142 for disposing at least a portion of the circuit board 1800, for example, the second board 1802. Since at least a portion of the second board is disposed in the groove 1142 of the holder 1140, the second board 1802 and the magnetic material 1082 may not protrude from the outer surface of the first side 1041A of the holder 1140 or may not protrude excessively from the outer surface of the first side 1041A.

[0582] That is, the second substrate 1802 and the magnetic body 1082 may protrude from the outer surface of the first side 1041A of the holder 1140 by a distance smaller than the sum of the thicknesses of the second substrate 1802 and the magnetic body 1082. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the size of the camera device 1200 from increasing in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0583] 27a and 27b, the holder 1140 may include a receiving portion 1116 for disposing or receiving at least a portion of the rolling member 1021. For example, at least a portion of the receiving portion 1116 may be disposed on the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140. The receiving portion 1116 may be a groove recessed from the inner surface of the holder 1140 (e.g., the inner surface of the first side portion 1041A). The receiving portion 1116 may also be referred to as an "receiving groove," "groove," or "guide groove."

[0584] At least a portion of the receiving portion 1116 of the holder 1140 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the receiving portion 1112 of the bobbin 1110 .

[0585] For example, the holder 1140 may include a first receiving portion 1116A for receiving at least another portion of the first rolling members B1 and B2 and a second receiving portion 1116B for receiving at least another portion of the second rolling members B3 and B4. For example, the seating portion 1142A of the holder 1140 may be disposed between the first receiving portion 1116A and the second receiving portion 1116B of the holder 1140.

[0586] For example, the first receiving portion 1116A (or the second receiving portion 1116B) may include an opening that opens to the top surface of the holder 1140. In other embodiments, the top of the receiving portion 1116 may be closed without opening to the top surface of the holder 1140. For example, the bottom of the receiving portion 1116 may be closed without opening to the bottom surface of the holder 1140.

[0587] For example, the receiving portion 1116 may be formed to extend in the optical axis direction. For example, the receiving portion 1116 may be formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the holder 1140 and extend in the optical axis direction.

[0588] 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 may be a polygon (e.g., a square or a pentagon, etc.). Alternatively, for example, when viewed from above, the receiving portion 1116 may be "V" or "U" shaped.

[0589] For example, when viewed in the optical axis direction or from above, the receiving portion 1116 may face 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.

[0590] Camera device 1200 may include a rolling member 1021 disposed between bobbin 1110 and holder 1140. Rolling member 1021 may be interchangeably referred to as a "ball member," a "ball," or a "ball bearing."

[0591] At least a portion of the rolling member 1021 contacts the bobbin 1110 and the holder 1140, and can support movement of the bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction by rolling or rotating between the bobbin 1110 and the holder 1140. When the bobbin 1110 moves in the optical axis direction, the rolling member 1021 can reduce friction between the bobbin 1110 and the holder 1140. The rolling or rotation of the rolling member 1021 allows the bobbin 1110 to slide or glide in the optical axis direction while contacting the rolling member 1021.

[0592] For example, the rolling member 1021 may be made of, but is not limited to, a metal material, a plastic material, or a resin material. The rolling member 1021 may have a circular shape and may have a diameter large enough to support the movement of the bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction.

[0593] For example, the rolling member 1021 may be disposed between an outer surface of the bobbin 1110 and an inner surface of the holder 1140. For example, the rolling member 1021 may be disposed between a first side surface 1110A of the bobbin 1110 and a first side 1041A of the holder 1140. For example, the rolling member 1021 may be disposed between the receiving portion 1112 of the bobbin 1110 and the receiving portion 1116 of the holder 1140.

[0594] For example, at least a portion of the rolling member 1021 may contact the receiving portion 1112 of the bobbin 1110 , and at least another portion of the rolling member 1021 may contact the receiving portion 1116 of the holder 1140 .

[0595] 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.

[0596] For example, the rolling member 1021 may include a first rolling member 1021A disposed between the first receiving portion 1112A of the bobbin 1110 and the first receiving portion 1116A of the holder 1140, and a second rolling member 1021B disposed between the second receiving portion 1112B of the bobbin 1110 and the second receiving portion 1116B of the holder 1140. For example, the first rolling member 1021A may include at least one ball. For example, the first rolling member 1021A may include a plurality of balls B1 and B2.

[0597] 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 other embodiments, the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may each include one ball.

[0598] 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 highest ball located at the top, a lowest ball located at the bottom, and at least one intermediate ball located between the highest and lowest balls. For example, the diameter of the highest ball may be larger than the diameter of the intermediate ball, and the diameter of the lowest ball may be larger than the diameter of the intermediate ball. Also, for example, the diameters of the highest ball and the lowest ball may be the same. In yet another embodiment, the diameters of the highest ball, the lowest ball, and the intermediate ball may be the same.

[0599] For example, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include a first ball (highest ball), a second ball (lowest ball), and a third ball (middle ball) arranged in the optical axis direction, and the diameter of the first ball may be larger than the diameter of the third ball. Also, the diameter of the second ball may be larger than the diameter of the third ball. For example, the diameters of the first ball and the third ball may be the same. In another embodiment, the diameter of the first ball may be larger than the diameter of the second ball. In yet another embodiment, the diameter of the first ball may be smaller than the diameter of the second ball. In yet another embodiment, the diameters of the first ball, the second ball, and the third ball may be the same.

[0600] For example, the diameter of the first ball and the diameter of the second ball may each be 0.85 mm or more and 0.95 mm or less, and the diameter of the third ball may be 0.75 mm or more and 0.85 mm or less.

[0601] In yet another embodiment, each of the first rolling member 1021A and the second rolling member 1021B may include four balls, the diameter of the highest ball and the diameter of the lowest ball may be greater than or equal to 0.85 mm and less than or equal to 0.95 mm, and the diameter of each of the two intermediate balls may be greater than or equal to 0.75 mm and less than or equal to 0.85 mm.

[0602] 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 is to prevent the bobbin 1110 from moving in the tilted state when the bobbin 1110 moves in the optical axis direction, and to stably support the bobbin 1110, thereby improving the reliability of autofocusing.

[0603] In other embodiments, 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 still other embodiments, instead of the ball members 1021A and 1021B, a sliding member (e.g., a shaft) or a roller may be included.

[0604] The camera device 1200 may include a magnetic body 1082 that exerts an attractive force on the magnet 1130. For example, an attractive force may act between the magnetic body 1082 and the magnet 1130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis (or a second direction). For example, the magnetic body 1082 may be disposed in the holder 1140. In another embodiment, the magnetic body 1082 may be disposed in the housing 1210.

[0605] The magnetic body 1082 may be made of a material that attracts a magnet. For example, the magnetic body 1082 may be made of a metal material that attracts a magnet. Alternatively, for example, the magnetic body 1082 may be made of a metal material that has magnetic properties. Alternatively, for example, the magnetic body 1082 may be a magnet. The magnetic body 1082 may be expressed interchangeably as a "yoke." The magnetic body 1082 may increase or serve to increase the electromagnetic force between the magnet 1130 and the coil 1120.

[0606] Since the magnet 1130 is disposed on the bobbin 1110 and the magnetic body 1082 is disposed on the holder 1140, the bobbin 1110 can be pulled in the direction of the holder 1140 on which the magnetic body 1082 is disposed due to the attractive force acting between the magnetic body 1082 and the magnet 1130. The attractive force between the magnetic body 1082 and the magnet 1130 allows the bobbin 1110 and the holder 1140 to press the rolling member 1021, thereby stably supporting the bobbin 1110.

[0607] The magnetic body 1082 and the magnet 1130 may be a "pressing unit" or a "pressing member." Such a pressing unit can maintain contact between the bobbin 1110 and the rolling member 1021 and between the holder 1140 and the rolling member 1021 when the bobbin 1110 moves in the optical axis direction. That is, the attractive force between the magnet 1130 and the magnetic body 1082 allows the rolling member 1021 to stably support the bobbin 1110 relative to the holder 1140.

[0608] 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 yet another embodiment, the magnetic material 1082 may be disposed on the bobbin 1110 together with the coil 1120, facing the magnet 1130 disposed on the holder 1140. The camera device 1200 may further include a conductive member, for example, a conductive member, for electrically connecting the coil 1120 disposed on the bobbin 1110 and the second board 1802 of the circuit board 1800.

[0609] 27b, the holder 1140 may include a seat 1045A for seating or positioning the filter 1610. The seat 1045A may be disposed on or formed on the lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the seat 1045A may be a groove recessed from the lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the seat 1045A may include a bottom surface 1005A that is stepped in the optical axis direction relative to the lower surface of the holder 1140, and a side surface 1005B that connects the lower surface of the holder 1140 and the bottom surface 1005A of the seat 1045A. For example, the opening 1030A may be formed through the bottom surface 1005A of the seat 1045A.

[0610] The holder 1140 may include a recess 1045B disposed or formed in a corner region of the inner surface of the seat 1045A. The recess 1045B may have a recessed structure in a direction from the optical axis toward the corner region of the inner surface of the seat 1045A. The recess 1045B may prevent an adhesive (e.g., UV epoxy) used to attach or bond the filter 1610 to the seat 1045A from overflowing outside the seat 1045A.

[0611] The holder 1140 may include an escape groove 1046 to avoid spatial interference with the circuit element 1815. For example, the escape groove 1046 may be disposed or formed on the lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the escape groove 1046 may be recessed from the lower surface of the holder 1140.

[0612] The escape groove 1046 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the circuit element 1815 in the optical axis direction. For example, the escape groove 1046 may be located between the seat 1045A and an edge of the lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the escape groove 1046 may include a first escape groove 1046A and a second escape groove 1046B located on opposite sides of the seat 1045A or the filter 1610. In another embodiment, the escape groove 1046 may include four escape grooves located between the opening 1030A and the four edges of the holder 1140.

[0613] The holder 1140 may include a groove 1047 corresponding to the protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270. The protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270 and the groove 1047 of the holder 1140 may serve as a guide for easily assembling the sensor base 1270 and the holder 1140, and may increase the bonding area and thereby increase the bonding strength between the sensor base 1270 and the holder 1140.

[0614] For example, the groove 1047 may be recessed from the lower surface of the holder 1140. For example, the groove 1047 may be disposed or formed in a corner or corner region of the lower surface of the holder 1140. The groove 1047 of the holder 1140 may have a shape corresponding to the protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270. The holder 1140 may also include a groove 1048 or hole corresponding to the protrusion 1017 of the sensor base 1270. For example, the protrusion 1017 of the sensor base 1270 may be inserted into or coupled with the groove 1048 of the holder 1140. For example, the groove 1048 may be disposed or formed in the bottom surface of the groove 1047 of the holder 1140. For example, the groove 1048 may be recessed from the bottom surface of the groove 1047 of the holder 1140.

[0617] The filter 1610 may serve to block light of a specific frequency band from passing through the lens module 1400 from entering the image sensor 1810. For example, the filter 1610 may be an infrared blocking filter. For example, the filter 1610 may be disposed parallel to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis OA.

[0618] The filter 1610 can be bonded to the holder 1140 (or seat 1045A) by an adhesive (not shown). For example, an edge region of the filter 1610 can be bonded to the bottom surface of the seat 1045A.

[0619] For example, the adhesive may be an epoxy, a heat-curable adhesive, an ultraviolet-curable adhesive, etc. For example, at least a portion of the filter 1610 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the lens module 1400 or / and the image sensor 1810 in the optical axis direction.

The sensor base 1270 may be interchangeably referred to as a "holder." The holder 1140 may also be interchangeably referred to as a "first housing" (or a "first holder"), and the sensor base 1270 may also be interchangeably referred to as a "second housing" (or a "second holder"). The holder 1140 and the sensor base 1270 may not be separately referred to, but may be interchangeably referred to as a single term, such as a "housing," "holder," or "sensor base." In another embodiment, the sensor base 1270 and the holder 1140 may be integrally formed.

[0621] For example, the sensor base 1270 may include a protrusion 1216 that protrudes from the top surface. The protrusion 1216 may be expressed interchangeably as a "pillar."

[0623] For example, the sensor base 1270 may include a body 1270A and a protrusion 1216 protruding from an upper surface of the body 1270A. For example, the body 1270A may have a shape corresponding to the first board 1801 of the circuit board 1800. For example, the body 1270A may have a polyhedron shape, such as a hexahedron shape. For example, the protrusion 1216 may be disposed in corner regions of the upper surface of the body 1270A. For example, the protrusion 1216 may include four protrusions 1216A to 1216D disposed in four corner regions of the upper surface of the body 1270A.

[0625] The sensor base 1270 may include a receiving portion 1056 in which the gyro sensor 1820 is disposed or to avoid spatial interference with the gyro sensor 1820. For example, the receiving portion 1056 may be provided to penetrate the sensor base 1270 in the optical axis direction. For example, the receiving portion 1056 may be provided to penetrate the body 1270A in the optical axis direction. In another embodiment, the receiving portion 1056 may be a groove recessed from the top surface of the body 1270A.

The receiving portion 1028A may be disposed or formed on the lower portion or bottom surface of the sensor base 1270. For example, the receiving portion 1028A may be a groove recessed from the lower portion or bottom surface of the sensor base 1270. For example, the receiving portion 1028A may be disposed or formed on the bottom surface of the body 1270A. For example, the receiving portion 1028A may have a shape corresponding to the magnetic material 1031.

[0628] The sensor base 1270 may include a seat 1025A on which at least a portion of the tilting guide portion 1060 is disposed or for accommodating at least a portion of the tilting guide portion 1060.

For example, the bottom surface of the seat 1025A may be positioned higher than the lower surface of the sensor base 1270.

[0629] 24a and 24b, a seat 1025A for inserting or locating at least a portion of the tilting guide portion 1060 is formed on the lower surface of the sensor base 1270, and the sensor base 1270 may include a partition 1272 (or guide portion) disposed on the lower surface and disposed around the tilting guide portion 1060. The tilting guide portion 1060 may be spaced apart from the partition 1272, and the partition 1272 may be disposed to surround the tilting guide portion 1060. The partition 1272 may prevent the tilting guide portion 1060 from detaching or falling off the sensor base 1270.

[0630] The sensor base 1270 may include a protrusion (or projection) 1028 that protrudes from the bottom or lower surface of the sensor base 1270. For example, the protrusion 1028 may protrude from the bottom surface of the seat 1025A of the sensor base 1270. For example, the protrusion length of the protrusion 1028 may be greater than the depth of the seat 1025A. For example, the protrusion length of the protrusion 1028 may be the distance (or shortest distance) from the bottom surface of the seat 1025A to the lower surface (or lowest end) of the protrusion 1028. Furthermore, the depth of the seat 1025A may be the distance (or shortest distance) from the bottom surface of the sensor base 1270 to the bottom surface of the seat 1025A.

[0631] In other embodiments, for example, the protrusion length of the protrusion 1028 may be less than or equal to the depth of the seat 1025A. For example, the protrusion 1028 may have a shape that corresponds to or matches the opening 1060A of the tilting guide portion 1060.

[0632] For example, the protrusion 1028 of the sensor base 1270 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the opening 1060A of the tilting guide part 1060 in the optical axis direction. For example, at least a portion of the protrusion 1028 of the sensor base 1270 may be disposed within the opening 1060A of the tilting guide part 1060.

[0633] For example, the receiving portion 1028A may be disposed or formed in the protruding portion 1028 of the sensor base 1270. For example, the receiving portion 1028A may be a groove recessed from the lower surface of the protruding portion 1028 of the sensor base 1270.

[0634] For example, the protrusion 1028 may be disposed between the ball members 1062A and 1062B. For example, the protrusion 1028 (or the magnetic body 1031) may overlap with the ball members 1062A and 1062B in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, for example, in the second direction.

[0635] The sensor base 1270 may include grooves 1029 in which the rolling members 1062 are disposed or for accommodating the rolling members 1062. The grooves 1029 may be formed in the lower surface of the sensor base 1270. For example, the grooves 1029 may be recessed from the lower surface of the sensor base 1270. The number of grooves 1029 may be the same as the number of rolling members 1062.

[0636] For example, the groove 1029 may include two grooves 1029A and 1029B spaced apart from each other. For example, the two grooves 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 grooves 1029A and 1029B of the sensor base 1270.

[0637] The groove 1029 may contact the rolling member 1082 at at least one point. For example, the groove 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 groove 1029 may include a bottom surface and multiple inclined surfaces. The shapes of the inclined surfaces of the groove 1029 may be the same as each other. In other embodiments, at least one of the inclined surfaces of the groove 1029 may have a different shape from the rest.

[0638] 7c, a groove 1212A into which at least a portion of a first substrate 1801 of a circuit board 1800 is inserted or disposed may be formed in the protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270. For example, a corner of the first substrate 1801 may be inserted into or coupled with the groove 1212A of the protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270. For example, the groove 1212A may be formed on a side of the protrusion 1216 facing the corner of the circuit board 1800. In addition, a groove 1212A for being inserted into or coupled with the groove 1212A of the protrusion 1216 may be formed in at least one corner of the circuit board 1800. The groove 1212A of the protrusion 1216 of the sensor base 1270 may serve as a coupling guide for coupling the first substrate 1801 and the sensor base 1270 and may serve to prevent the first substrate 1801 from rotating or separating from the sensor base 1270.

[0639] 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 by 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.

[0640] 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 any one of a rigid printed circuit board (Rigid PCB), a flexible printed circuit board (Flexible PCB), and a rigid-flexible printed circuit board (RigidFlexible PCB). For example, the circuit board 1800 may include a rigid printed circuit board and a flexible printed circuit board. The circuit board 1800 may be referred to as a "board unit," a "board," or a "printed circuit board."

[0641] For example, the circuit board 1800 may include a first substrate 1801 (or "first region") that is disposed on, coupled to, or secured to the sensor base 1270. For example, the first substrate 1801 may be disposed on, coupled to, or secured to the body 1270A of the sensor base 1270. For example, the bottom surface of the first substrate 1801 may be coupled to the top surface of the sensor base 1270 or the top surface of the body 1270A. For example, the bottom surface of the first substrate 1801 may be coupled to the top surface of the sensor base 1270 or the top surface of the body 1270A by adhesive.

[0642] The circuit board 1800 may include a second substrate 1802 (or "second region") coupled to the first substrate 1801 and disposed on a side of the holder 1140. For example, the second substrate 1802 may be disposed on, coupled to, or secured to at least one of the sides of the holder 1140 (e.g., the first side 1041A).

[0643] In FIG. 27 a , the circuit board 1800 includes one second substrate, but in other embodiments, the circuit board 1800 can include multiple second substrates disposed on the side of the holder 1140 .

[0644] For example, the second substrate 1802 may be coupled to a 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 1041A of the holder 1140. For example, the second substrate 1802 may extend upward from the first substrate 1801.

[0645] The circuit board 1800 may include a third board 1803 on which a connector 1805 is arranged or provided, and a fourth board 1804 that connects the first board 1801 and the third board 1803 together.

[0646] 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.

[0647] For example, a rigid printed circuit board may include a plurality of conductive layers (or circuit patterns) spaced apart in the optical axis direction and an insulating layer disposed between two adjacent conductive layers among the plurality of conductive layers. For example, a flexible printed circuit board may include one 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, a 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 imaging area may include a number of pixels on which an image is formed. The image sensor 1810 may be conductively or electrically connected to the first substrate 1801. The imaging area may correspond to, face, or overlap with the lens module 1400 and / or the filter 1610 in the optical axis direction.

[0650] 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, 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) of the first substrate 1801.

[0651] The camera device 1200 may include a control unit 1830 disposed on the circuit board 1800. For example, the control unit 1830 may be a driver IC.

For example, the control unit 1830 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the lower surface of the first substrate 1801. For example, the control unit 1830 may be conductively or electrically connected to the first substrate 1801. In another embodiment, the control unit 1830 may be disposed on the second substrate 1802.

[0652] For example, the controller 1830 may be conductively or electrically connected to the coil 1120 and supply a drive signal to the coil 1120. For example, the controller 1830 may be conductively or electrically 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. Here, the controller 1830 may supply power to the two input terminals of the position sensor 1170. The controller 1830 may receive an output signal from the position sensor 1170 output from the two output terminals of the position sensor 1170 and may control a drive signal (e.g., a drive current) supplied to the coil 1120 using the output signal from the position sensor 1170.

[0653] The position sensor 1170 may be a driver IC including a Hall sensor. When the position sensor 1170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the control unit 1830 may be omitted. When the position sensor 1170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the position sensor 1170 may include first to sixth terminals electrically or conductively connected to the circuit board 1800. The first and second terminals of the position sensor 1170 may be terminals for receiving a power signal, the third terminal may be a terminal for transmitting or receiving a clock signal SCL, and the fourth terminal may be a terminal for transmitting or receiving a data signal SDA. The fifth and sixth terminals of the position sensor 1170 may be conductively or electrically connected to the coil 1120 and may supply a drive signal to the first coil 1120.

[0654] The camera device 1200 may include a gyro sensor 1820 disposed on the circuit board 1800. For example, the gyro sensor 1820 outputs rotational angular velocity information according to the operation of the camera device 1200. For example, the gyro sensor 1820 may be implemented by a two-axis or three-axis gyro sensor or an angular velocity sensor.

[0655] 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 or electrically connected to the first substrate 1801.

[0656] For example, one of the gyro sensor 1820 and the control unit 1830 may be disposed near the third substrate 1803. For example, one of the gyro sensor 1820 and the control unit 1830 may be disposed near 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 control unit 1830 may be disposed closer to the first side surface of the first substrate 1801 than to a second side surface of the first substrate 1801, and the second side surface of the first substrate 1801 may be located opposite the first side surface of the first substrate 1801.

[0657] The coil 1120 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to the circuit board 1800 (e.g., the second board 1802). For example, the coil 1120 may be conductively or electrically coupled to the circuit board 1800 (e.g., the second board 1802). For example, the coil 1120 may be conductively or electrically connected to the circuit board 1800 (e.g., the second board 1802) by a conductive adhesive or solder. For example, the coil 1120 may be disposed on or coupled to the second board 1802, and may be conductively or electrically connected to the second board 1802.

[0658] The coil 1120 can move an AF moving part (for example, a bobbin) in the optical axis direction by interacting with the magnet 1130. The coil 1120 can be placed on a holder 1140.

[0659] The coil 1120 may be arranged to correspond to, face, or overlap with the magnet 1130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the coil 1120 may be arranged on the holder 1140 to correspond to, face, or overlap with the magnet 1130 in a second direction (e.g., the X-axis direction) or in a direction from the first side 1041A to the second side 1041B of the holder 1140. For example, the coil 1120 may be arranged on the first side 1041A of the holder 1140. The coil 1120 may be arranged within the seating portion 1142A of the holder 1140.

[0660] For example, the coil 1120 may be hollow or include a hole. For example, the coil 1120 may have a ring shape or a closed curve shape. For example, the coil 1120 may be ring-shaped wound around a straight line that is perpendicular to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the outer surface of the first side portion 1041A of the holder 1140. For example, the coil 1120 may be ring-shaped with a longer length in the horizontal direction (or third direction) than in the vertical direction (or optical axis direction).

[0661] A drive signal may be applied to the coil 1120 to generate an electromagnetic force through electromagnetic interaction with the magnet 1130. For example, the drive signal may be applied to the coil 1120 from the circuit board 1800 or the control unit 1830. Here, the drive signal supplied to the coil 1120 may be direct current and may be in the form of a voltage or current. Alternatively, in other embodiments, 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.

[0662] The coil 1120 to which the drive signal is provided can electromagnetically interact with the magnet 1130 disposed on the bobbin 1110, and the AF movement unit can move in a first direction due to the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic interaction between the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130. The control unit 1830 can control the movement of the AF movement unit in the first direction by adjusting the magnitude and / or direction of the drive signal (e.g., drive current), thereby performing an autofocusing function.

[0663] For AF feedback drive, the camera device 1200 may include a position sensor 1170. The position sensor 1170 may sense the position or displacement of the bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction. For example, the position sensor 1170 may sense the magnet 1130 disposed on the bobbin 1110. In another embodiment, a sensing magnet facing the position sensor 1170 may be disposed on the bobbin 1110, separate from the magnet 1130, and the position sensor 1170 may sense the sensing magnet or the magnetic field of the sensing magnet to detect the displacement of the bobbin.

[0664] For example, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed in the holder 1140. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed on the first side 1141A of the holder 1140. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed in the seat 1142A of the holder 1140. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed within the hollow of the coil 1120. In other embodiments, the position sensor 1170 may be disposed outside the hollow of the coil 1120.

[0665] 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 by a conductive adhesive or solder. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be conductively or electrically connected or coupled to the second substrate 1802. For example, the position sensor 1170 may be conductively or electrically connected to the second substrate 1802 by a conductive adhesive or solder.

[0666] For example, the position sensor 1170 can be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to a first surface of the second substrate 1802. For example, the position sensor 1170 can correspond to, face, or overlap with the magnet 1130 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or in a second direction.

[0667] The position sensor 1170 can sense the displacement of the bobbin 1110 in the optical axis direction.

[0668] For example, the position sensor 1170 can sense the magnetic field or the strength of the magnetic field of the magnet 1130 attached to the bobbin 1110 due to the movement of the bobbin 1110, and can output an output signal.

[0669] For example, the position sensor 1170 may be a Hall sensor. Here, the position sensor 1170 may include two input terminals to which a driving signal is applied and two output terminals to which an output signal is output. The circuit board 1800 may be conductively or electrically connected to the two input terminals and two output terminals of the position sensor 1170. The circuit board 1800 or the control unit 1830 may supply a driving signal to the two input terminals of the position sensor 1170, and the output signals output from the two output terminals of the position sensor 1170 may be transmitted to the circuit board 1800 or the control unit 1830.

[0670] In another embodiment, the position sensor 1170 may be implemented in the form of a driver IC including a Hall sensor. For example, if 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 using data communication using a protocol, for example, I2C communication.

[0671] For example, if the position sensor 1170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the position sensor 1170 may include first and second terminals for receiving a power supply or a drive signal, a third terminal for a clock signal, a fourth terminal for a data signal, and fifth and sixth terminals for supplying a drive signal to the coil 1120. The first to sixth terminals of the position sensor 1170 may be conductively or electrically connected to the circuit board 1800.

[0672] The magnet 1310 may be disposed on or coupled to the moving part. For example, the magnet 1310 may be disposed on or coupled to the holder 1140. The magnet 1310 may include a first magnet unit 1310A disposed on the second side 1041B of the holder 1140 and a second magnet unit 1310B disposed on the third side 1041C of the holder 1140.

[0673] For example, the first magnet unit 1310A may be disposed on the first seat 1143A of the holder 1140, and the second magnet unit 1310B may be disposed on the second seat 1143B of the holder 1140.

[0674] For example, the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be arranged offset in the second or third direction. For example, the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be arranged on a moving part, such as the holder 1140, so as not to overlap with each other in the second or third direction. For example, the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be arranged on two different sides of the holder 1140 so as not to overlap with each other in the second or third direction.

[0675] In another embodiment, the magnet 1310 may be disposed in the housing 1210, and the coil 1230 may be disposed in the holder 1140. For example, the magnet 1310 and the coil 1230 may be disposed in the opposite positions to each other in Fig. 23. Here, the camera device 1200 may include a separate current-carrying part, for example, a circuit board, a circuit member, or a conductive member, that conductively or electrically connects the second coil 1230 and the circuit board 1800.

[0676] 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 divided or arranged into a north pole and a south pole 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 above the south pole (or north pole).

[0677] In another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be a two-pole magnet divided or arranged into north and south poles in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. In yet another embodiment, each of the first magnet unit 1310A and the second magnet unit 1310B may be a four-pole magnet including two north poles and two south poles.

[0678] The camera device 1200 may include a magnetic body 1082 arranged to face the coil 1120 and the magnet 1130. For example, the magnetic body 1082 may be arranged in the OIS moving part. For example, the magnetic body 1082 may be arranged in the holder 1140 or the second board 1802 of the circuit board 1800. For example, the magnetic body 1082 may be arranged to correspond to, face, or overlap with the magnet 1130 in the second direction. Also, for example, the magnetic body 1082 may be arranged to correspond to, face, or overlap with the coil 1120 in the second direction. For example, the magnetic body 1082 may be arranged on or coupled to the second board 1082. For example, the coil 1120 may be arranged on a first surface of the second board 1802 facing the magnet 1130, and the magnetic body 1082 may be arranged on a second surface of the second board 1802 opposite the first surface of the second board 1802. The adhesive allows the magnetic material 1082 to be bonded, attached, or fixed to the second substrate 1802.

[0679] 10a and 10b, the housing 1210 may include a cavity for accommodating the OIS moving part. For example, the housing 1210 may have a shape corresponding to the OIS moving part, such as the holder 1140 or the sensor base 1270, such as, but not limited to, a polygonal (e.g., rectangular or octagonal) or circular (or elliptical) shape, and may have various shapes. The housing 1210 may be interchangeably referred to as a "base."

[0680] The housing 1210 may include multiple sides 1071A to 1071D that correspond to the sides 1041A to 1041D of the holder 1140 or the sides 1051A to 1051D of the sensor base 1270. The housing 1210 may include corners located between two adjacent sides.

[0681] The housing 1210 may also include a lower portion (or lower plate) 1042 positioned below the sides 1071A to 1071D. The lower portion 1042 may be connected to the undersides of the sides 1071A to 1071D. For example, the lower portion 1042 may be interchangeably referred to as a "bottom," "underside," or "body." For example, the sides 1071A to 1071D may extend or protrude upward from the lower portion 1042.

[0682] Referring to FIG. 30a, the housing 1210 may include a first side 1071A that corresponds to, faces, or overlaps with the first side 1041A of the holder 1140, a second side 1071B that corresponds to, faces, or overlaps with the second side 1041B of the holder 1140, a third side 1071C that corresponds to, faces, or overlaps with the third side 1041C of the holder 1140, and a fourth side 1071D that corresponds to, faces, or overlaps with the fourth side 1041D of the holder 1140.

[0683] The first side 1071A (or first side surface or first outer surface) of the housing 1210 may be located opposite the second side 1071B (or second side surface or second outer surface) of the housing 1210, and the third side 1071C (or third side surface or third outer surface) of the housing 1210 may be located opposite the fourth side 1071D (or fourth side surface or fourth outer surface) of the housing 1210.

[0684] 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.

[0685] The housing 1210 may include a step 1411 disposed on a lower portion of any one of the side portions 1071A to 1071D. For example, the step 1411 may protrude from the outer surface 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 face or overlap the side plate 1302 of the cover member 1300 in the optical axis direction. For example, the step 1411 may be bonded to the side plate 1302 of the cover member 1300 with an adhesive.

[0686] The housing 1210 may include seats 141A and 141B for disposing or accommodating the coil 1230. For example, the seats 141A and 141B may be in the form of through holes formed in the sides of the housing 1210. In other embodiments, the seats 1141A and 1141B may be in the form of grooves recessed from the sides of the housing 1210.

[0687] The housing 1210 may include a first seat 1141A for disposing the first coil unit 1230A and a second seat 1141B for disposing the second coil unit 1310B. For example, the first seat 1141A may be disposed on or formed on the second side 1071B of the housing 1210, and the second seat 1141B may be disposed on or formed on the third side 1071C of the housing 1210. For example, the first seat 1141A may penetrate the second side 1071B of the housing 1210, and the second seat 1141B may penetrate the third side 1071C of the housing 1210. The first seating portion 1141A may include an opening that opens to an upper surface of the second side 1071B of the housing 1210, and the second seating portion 1141B may include an opening that opens to an upper surface of the third side 1071C of the housing 1210. In other embodiments, the first seating portion (or the second seating portion) may not include an opening that opens to an upper surface of the second side (or the third side) of the housing 1210.

[0688] The housing 1210 may include a receiving portion 1049A for receiving the magnetic material 1032. The receiving portion 1049A may be disposed in or formed in the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. The receiving portion 1049A may be disposed in or formed on the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. For example, the receiving portion 1049A may be a groove 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 square or circle. For example, the receiving portion 1049A of the housing 1210 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the receiving portion 1028A of the sensor base 1270 in the optical axis direction.

[0689] Although not shown in FIG. 30b, the housing 1210 may include a groove in which at least another portion of the tilting guide portion 1060 is disposed or for accommodating at least another portion of the tilting guide portion 1060.

[0690] The housing 1210 may include grooves 1055 in which the rolling members 1063 are disposed or for accommodating the rolling members 1063. The grooves 1055 may be formed in the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. For example, the grooves 1055 may be recessed from the upper surface of the lower portion 1042 of the housing 1210. The number of grooves 1055 in the housing 1210 may be the same as the number of the rolling members 1063.

[0691] For example, the groove 1055 may include two grooves 1055A and 1055B spaced apart from each other. For example, the two grooves 1055A and 1055B may be spaced apart from each other in the Y-axis direction. For example, the direction in which the two grooves 1055A and 1055B of the housing 1210 are spaced apart may be perpendicular to the direction in which the two grooves 1029A and 1029B of the sensor base 1270 are spaced apart. For example, the receiving portion 1049A may be located between the two grooves 1055A and 1055B of the housing 1210.

[0692] The groove 1055 of the housing 1210 may contact the rolling member 1063 at at least one point. For example, the groove 1055 may include a bottom surface and at least one side surface connected to the bottom surface. At least one side surface of the groove 1055 may be an inclined surface. For example, the groove 1055 may include a bottom surface and multiple inclined surfaces. The shapes of the inclined surfaces of the groove 1055 may be the same as each other. In other embodiments, at least one of the inclined surfaces of the groove 1055 may have a different shape from the rest.

[0693] The housing 1210 may include a protrusion 1215 that protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the protrusion 1215 may protrude from a side of the housing 1210.

[0694] For example, the protrusion 1215 may protrude from the outer surface of the fourth side 1071D of the housing 1210. For example, the protrusion 1215 may have a form in which at least a portion of the fourth side 1071D protrudes in a direction parallel to a line perpendicular to the optical axis while passing through the optical axis. For example, the protrusion 1215 may include a groove (or cavity) 1016A in which at least a portion of the fourth substrate 1804 is disposed or accommodated. For example, the groove 1016A of the protrusion 1215 may include an opening that is open at the top.

[0695] 30b, the groove 1016A of the protrusion 1215 may have coupling grooves 1215A and 1215B formed therein for the movement suppressing portion 1080 to be inserted into, coupled to, or fixed thereto. For example, the coupling grooves 1215A and 1215B may be formed on two inner surfaces of the groove 1016A of the protrusion 1215 that face each other. For example, the coupling grooves 1215A and 1215B may extend in the optical axis direction. For example, the coupling grooves 1215A and 1215B may include openings that open to the upper surface of the protrusion 1215 so that the movement suppressing portion 1080 can be easily inserted into or coupled to the groove 1016A from above.

[0696] 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. With this configuration, it is possible to easily ensure a space for the circuit board 1800 to extend outward, thereby realizing a compact camera device.

[0697] The coil 1230 may be disposed in the fixed part. For example, the coil 1230 may be disposed in the housing 1210. The coil 1230 interacts with a magnet 1310 disposed in the OIS moving part, thereby tilting the OIS moving part or rotating it by a preset angle around a first axis (e.g., X-axis) or a first axis (e.g., Y-axis).

[0698] The coil 1230 may include a first coil unit 1230A that corresponds to, faces, or overlaps with the first magnet unit 1310A, and a second coil unit 1230B that corresponds to, faces, or overlaps with the second magnet unit 1310B.

[0699] For example, the first coil unit 1230A may correspond to, face, or overlap with the first magnet unit 1310A in the second direction, and the second coil unit 1230B may correspond to, face, or overlap with the second magnet unit 1310B in the third direction. For example, the first coil unit 1230A may face or overlap with the coil 1120 in the second direction.

[0700] For example, the first coil unit 1230A may be disposed on the second side 1071B of the housing 1210, and the second coil unit 1230B may be disposed on the third side 1071C of the housing 1210.

[0701] For example, each of the first and second coil units 1230A, 1230B may be hollow or include a hole. For example, each of the first and second coil units 1230A, 1230B may have a ring shape or a closed curve shape. For example, the first coil unit 1230A may be ring-shaped wound around a straight line perpendicular to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the outer surface of the second side portion 1041B of the holder 1140, and the second coil unit 1230B may be ring-shaped wound around a straight line perpendicular to the optical axis OA and perpendicular to the outer surface of the third side portion 1041C of the holder 1140. For example, each of the first and second coil units 1230A, 1230B may be ring-shaped with a longer length in the horizontal direction (or third direction) than in the vertical direction (or optical axis direction).

[0702] The camera device 1200 may include a circuit board 1190 disposed on or coupled to a fixed portion. 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 of the housing 1210. For example, the circuit board 1190 may be disposed on or coupled to any one of the sides 1071A to 1071D of the housing 1210.

[0703] 30b, for example, the circuit board 1190 may include a first board 1191 disposed on the second side 1071B of the housing 1210 and a second board 1192 disposed on the third side 1071C of the housing 1210. The second board 1192 may be bent from the first board 1191. The circuit board 1190 may be electrically or conductively coupled to the second coil 1230. The circuit board 1190 may be electrically or conductively coupled to the position sensor 1240.

[0704] The housing 1210 may include a groove 1019 in which the circuit board 1190 is disposed or for accommodating the circuit board 1190. The groove 1019 may be recessed from the outer surface of the side of the housing 1210. The groove 1019 may be formed in any one of the sides 1071A to 1071D of the housing 1210. For example, the groove 1019 may include a first groove 1019A formed in the second side 1071B of the housing 1210 and a second groove 1019B formed in the third side 1071C of the housing 1210.

[0705] For example, the first board 1191 of the circuit board 1190 may be disposed in the first groove 1019A of the housing 1210, and the second board 1192 of the circuit board 1190 may be disposed in the first groove 1019B of the housing 1210.

[0706] For example, the second groove 1019B may be disposed on the step 1411 of the housing 1210. The first groove 1019A may extend to the lower surface of the second side 1071B of the housing 1210. For example, the step 1411 may not be formed below the first groove 1019A. For example, referring to FIG. 13b, the first board 1191 of the circuit board 1190 may extend to the lower part, lower end, or lower surface of the second side 1071B of the housing 1210. For example, at least a portion of the terminals P1 to Pn disposed on the lower part of the first board 1191 of the circuit board 1190 may be disposed to overlap 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 is to facilitate electrical connection, for example, soldering, between the terminals P1 to Pn and an external device.

[0707] The housing 1210 may include at least one protrusion 1009A, 1009B. The at least one protrusion 1009A, 1009B may be disposed on a side of the housing 1210. For example, the at least one protrusion 1009A, 1009B may protrude from a bottom surface of the groove 1019A, 1019B of the housing 1210.

[0708] The circuit board 1190 may include at least one hole 1007A, 1007B that mates with the protrusions 1009A, 1009B of the housing 1210. For example, the holes 1007A, 1007B may be through holes.

[0709] For example, the housing 1210 may include a first protrusion 1009A disposed on the second side 1071B. The housing 1210 may include a second protrusion 1009B disposed on the third side 1071C. The first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190 may include a first hole 7A that mates with the first protrusion 1009A. The second substrate 1192 of the circuit board 1190 may include a second hole 7B that mates with the second protrusion 1009B.

[0710] The coils 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 board 1191 of the circuit board 1190, and the second coil unit 1230B may be disposed on the second board 1192 of the circuit board 1190. For example, the first coil unit 1230A may be electrically connected to the first board 1191 of the circuit board 1190, and the second coil unit 1230B may be electrically connected to the second board 1192 of the circuit board 1190.

[0711] For example, the first substrate 1191 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the first magnet unit 1310A in the second direction, and the second substrate 1192 may correspond to, face, or overlap with the second magnet unit 1310B in the third direction.

[0712] For OIS feedback driving, the camera device 1200 may include a position sensor 1240. The position sensor 1240 may sense the displacement or angular displacement of the OIS moving part due to tilting or rotation of the OIS moving part.

[0713] 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, face, or overlap with the first magnet unit 1310A, and the second sensor 1240B may correspond to, face, or overlap with the second magnet unit 1310B. For example, at least a portion of the first sensor 1240A may correspond to, face, or overlap with 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, face, or overlap with 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.

[0714] For example, the first sensor 1240A can sense the magnetic field of the first magnet unit 1310A (or the first magnet unit 1310A). For example, the second sensor 1240B can sense the magnetic field of the second magnet unit 1310B (or the second magnet unit 1310B).

[0715] The position sensor 1240 may be disposed on the circuit board 1190. The position sensor 1240 may be electrically connected to the circuit board 1190.

[0716] 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 or electrically connected to the first substrate 1191 of the circuit board 1190, and the second sensor 1240B may be conductively or electrically connected to the second substrate 1192 of the circuit board 1190.

[0717] For example, the first sensor 1240A may be disposed within the hollow (or hole) of the first coil unit 1230A, and the second sensor 1240B may be disposed within the hollow (or hole) of the second coil unit 1230B. In other embodiments, the first sensor 1240A may be disposed outside the hollow (or hole) of the first coil unit 1230A, and the second sensor 1240B may be disposed outside the hollow (or hole) of the second coil unit 1230B.

[0718] 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 or electrically 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 or electrically connected to the second substrate 1192.

[0719] The camera device 1200 may include a control unit 1835 disposed on the circuit board 1190. The control unit 1835 may be electrically or conductively coupled to the circuit board 1190. For example, the control unit 1835 may be a driver IC.

[0720] For example, the control unit 1830 may be disposed on one (e.g., 191) of the first board 1191 and the second board 1192 of the circuit board 1190. For example, the control unit 1835 may be disposed on, coupled to, or fixed to a first surface of the circuit board 1800. The first surface may be a surface facing the magnet 1310 or an OIS moving unit, for example, a lens module.

[0721] The control unit 1835 is electrically or conductively connected to the coil 1230 and can supply a drive signal to the coil 1230. For example, the control unit 1835 is electrically connected to the coil units 1230A and 1230B and can supply a first drive signal to the first coil unit 1230A and a second drive signal to the second coil unit 1230B.

[0722] The control unit 1835 may be conductively or electrically connected to the position sensor 1240 .

[0723] For example, the controller 1835 can provide power or a drive signal to the position sensor 1240. For example, the controller 1835 can provide power or a drive signal to each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B.

[0724] The controller 1835 can receive an output signal from the position sensor 1240 and use the output signal from the position sensor 1240 to control a drive signal (e.g., a drive current) supplied to the coil 1230. For example, the controller 1835 can receive an output signal from the first sensor 1240A and use the output signal from the first sensor 1240A to control a first drive signal (e.g., a first drive current) supplied to the first coil unit 1230A. The controller 1835 can also receive an output signal from the second sensor 1240B and use the output signal from the second sensor 1240B to control a second drive signal (e.g., a second drive current) supplied to the second coil unit 1230B.

[0725] In another embodiment, each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B may be a driver IC including a Hall sensor. The description of an embodiment in which the position sensor 1170 is a driver IC including a Hall sensor can also be applied, or can be applied by analogy, to an embodiment in which the first and second sensors 1240A and 1240B are driver ICs including Hall sensors. For example, in an embodiment in which the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B are driver ICs including Hall sensors, the control unit 1835 can be omitted, and the first sensor 1240A can supply a drive signal to the first coil unit 1230A, and the second sensor 1240B can supply a drive signal to the second coil unit 1230B. Each of the first sensor 1240A and the second sensor 1240B can include first and second terminals for receiving a power supply or a drive signal, a third terminal for a clock signal, a fourth terminal for a data signal, and fifth and sixth terminals for supplying a drive signal to the coil unit 230A or 230B.

[0726] 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 disposed on one of the first board 1191 and the second board 1192 of the circuit board 1190. For example, the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn may be disposed on a lower portion of the first board 1191 of the circuit board 1190. For example, the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn may be exposed from a side plate 1302 of the cover member 1300.

[0727] Any one of the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn can be conductively or electrically connected to the control unit 1835.

[0728] In the case where the first and second sensors 1240A, 1240B of the position sensor 1240 are each a driver IC including a Hall sensor, the first and second sensors 1240A, 1240B may be conductively or electrically connected to at least one other of the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn.

[0729] In another embodiment, any one of the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn may be electrically connected to the coil 1230, and any one of the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn may be electrically connected to the position sensor 1240.

[0730] Camera device 1200 may include a separate circuit board (not shown) electrically or conductively coupled to the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn. For example, the separate circuit board may be disposed under housing 1210 and include terminals electrically connected to the plurality of terminals P1 to Pn by a conductive adhesive. For example, circuit board 1800 may be referred to as any one of the first to third circuit boards (e.g., the "first circuit board"), circuit board 1190 may be referred to as the other one of the first to third circuit boards (e.g., the "second circuit board"), and the separate circuit board may be referred to as the remaining one of the first to third circuit boards (e.g., the "third circuit board").

[0731] In this embodiment, a separate controller 1835 and / or circuit board 1190 for driving the coil 1230 and the position sensor 1240 is provided, so that wiring for driving the coil 1230 and the position sensor 1240 can be omitted from the second board 1802 of the circuit board 1800. Therefore, the width W1 of the second board 1802 of the circuit board 1800 can be reduced. Referring to FIGS. 23 and 31a, for example, the width W1 of the second board 1802 may be the length of the second board 1802 in a second direction (e.g., the X-axis direction). The width W1 of the second board 1802 may be perpendicular to the optical axis (or the optical axis direction) and perpendicular to the length direction of the second board 1802.

[0732] In another embodiment, the control unit 1835 is disposed on a third circuit board, and the coil 1230 and the position sensor 1240 are electrically connected to terminals P1 to Pn of the second circuit board 1190, and may be electrically connected to the control unit 1835 via the third circuit board (or terminals of the third circuit board) that are conductively or electrically coupled to the terminals.

[0733] In this 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, and the OIS moving portion can move easily when the OIS is driven. That is, since the width W1 of the second substrate 1802 can be designed to be small, the elastic force or elastic modulus of the second substrate 1802 of the circuit board 1800 that supports the OIS moving portion can be easily designed. For example, by designing the width W1 of the second substrate 1802 to be small, the elastic force or elastic modulus of the second substrate 1802 can be reduced, and therefore, OIS driving can be easily implemented with a small driving force, and power consumption required for OIS driving can be reduced. Here, the driving force may be a force due to the interaction between the coil 1230 and the magnet 1310.

[0734] Camera device 1200 may include a movement suppressing portion 1080 coupled to at least a portion of housing 1210. Movement suppressing portion 1080 may suppress movement or motion of at least a portion of fourth substrate 1804, thereby suppressing deformation of the shape of at least a portion of fourth substrate 1804.

[0735] 27c, 28, and 31a, the fourth substrate 1804 of the circuit board 1800 may include a first portion (or "first region") 1804A connected to the first substrate 1801, a second portion 1804B connected to the first portion 1804A and bent from the first portion 1804A, and a third portion 1804C connected to the second portion 1804B and bent from the second portion 1804B. In other embodiments, either the first portion 1804A or the second portion 1804B may be omitted.

[0736] For example, first portion 1804A may extend in a direction parallel to first substrate 1801. For example, second portion 1804B may be bent from first portion 1804A and extend upward from first portion 1804A. For example, third portion 1804C may extend from second portion 1804B in a direction opposite to first portion 1804A.

[0737] For example, fourth substrate 1804 may include a first bent portion 1804D connecting first portion 1804A and second portion 1804B. Fourth substrate 1804 may also include a second bent portion 1804E connecting second portion 1804B and third portion 1804C. First bent portion 1804D and second bent portion 1804E may be angular, for example, first portion 1804A and second portion 1804B may be perpendicular. In other embodiments, first bent portion 1804D and second bent portion 1804E may be rounded. In other embodiments, the interior angle between first portion 1804A and second portion 1804B may be acute or obtuse.

[0738] The first bent portion 1804D and the second bent portion 1804E can prevent an increase in the length in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the camera device 1200. In addition, since the first bent portion 1804D and the second bent portion 1804E are located between the upper surface of the camera device 1200 (e.g., the upper surface of the cover member 1300) and the lower surface of the camera device 1200 (e.g., the lower surface of the housing 1210), an increase in the length in the optical axis direction of the camera device 1200 can be prevented, and the camera device can be made more compact.

[0739] For example, the third portion 1804C may be in the form of a plate or a plane perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, the third portion 1804C may include a serpentine or wave shape. For example, the third portion 1804C may include at least one folded or curved region. For example, the folded or curved region of the third portion 1804C may be folded in a second direction or a third direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Alternatively, the folded or curved region of the third portion 1804C may extend in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. For example, when viewed from above, the third portion 1804C may include a region having a U-shape or a V-shape.

[0740] For example, third portion 1804C can be spaced apart from housing 1210. For example, third portion 1804C can be spaced apart from protrusion 1215 of housing 1210. In other embodiments, for example, at least a portion of third portion 1804C can contact protrusion 1215 of housing 1210.

[0741] At least a portion of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804 may be disposed within the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. At least a portion of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804 may be disposed within the groove 1016A of the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, at least a portion of the first portion 1804A of the fourth substrate 1804 may be disposed within the groove 1016A of the protrusion 1215. The third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 may be located outside the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 may be located above the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. A lower surface of the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 may be located above an upper surface of the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210.

[0742] The connector 1805 may be coupled or connected to another connector outside the camera device 1200 or an external device. The connector 1805, which is coupled to another external connector, may correspond to a fixed portion that does not move when the OIS is driven. The third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 includes at least one bent or curved region, and thus may be able to elastically support the camera device 1200 or the OIS moving portion and absorb external shocks. That is, the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 may function as a spring that absorbs shocks. Furthermore, the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804 may be able to elastically support the OIS moving portion 1100, thereby reducing the driving force or driving power required when driving the OIS.

[0743] The camera apparatus 1200 may include a reinforcing member 1070 disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the fourth substrate 1804. The reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to any one of the first portion 1804A and the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the first portion 1804A and at least a portion of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804.

[0744] 31a, for example, the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the lower surface of the first portion 1804A and the lower surface of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, the reinforcing member 1070 may include a first region 1070A disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the first portion 1804A, and a second region 1070B disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the second portion 1804B. The second region 1070B may be bent upward from the first region 1070A. For example, a bent portion may be formed between the first region 1070A and the second region 1070B.

[0745] For example, the area of ​​the second region 1070B may be larger than the area of ​​the first region 1070A. In other embodiments, the two may be the same, or the area of ​​the former 1070B may be smaller than the area of ​​the latter 1070A.

[0746] For example, the reinforcing member 1070 can be spaced apart from the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, the second region 1070B of the reinforcing member 1070 can be spaced apart from the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804. In other embodiments, at least a portion of the second region 1070B of the reinforcing member 1070 can contact the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804.

[0747] In other embodiments, the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to an upper surface of the first portion 1804A and an upper surface of the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, in other embodiments, the reinforcing member 1070 may include a first region disposed on the upper surface of the first portion 1804A of the fourth substrate 1804 and a second region disposed on the upper surface of the second portion 1804B.

[0748] In yet another embodiment, the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to at least a portion of the second portion 1804B and at least a portion of the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, in another embodiment, the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the second portion 1804B and the third portion 1804C of the fourth substrate 1804. For example, the reinforcing member 1070 may include a first region disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the second portion 1804B of the fourth substrate 1804 and a second region disposed on, coupled to, or attached to the third portion 1804C, and a bent portion may be formed between the first and second regions. The first region of the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on a lower surface (or an upper surface) of the second portion 1804B, and the second region of the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed on a lower surface (or an upper surface) of the third portion 1804C.

[0749] The reinforcing member 1070 may prevent the fourth substrate 1804 from being damaged, deformed, or broken due to an impact or external force. In addition, the reinforcing member 1070 may play a role in preventing the fourth substrate 1804 from being deformed or restored to its original shape when the fourth substrate 1804 is pressed by tilting of the OIS moving unit 1100. For example, the reinforcing member 1070 may include at least one of a metal material or an injection molding material.

[0750] For example, the reinforcing member 1070 may be disposed within the groove 1016A of the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, the reinforcing member 1070 may be in at least partial contact with the groove 1016A of the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, the reinforcing member 1070 may not be coupled to the housing 1210 (e.g., the protrusion 1215). In other embodiments, for example, the reinforcing member 1070 may be coupled to the housing 1210 (e.g., the protrusion 1215) with an adhesive.

[0751] FIG. 31b shows another embodiment 1070-1 of the reinforcing member of FIG. 31a.

[0752] 31b, the reinforcing member 1070-1 may include an opening 1073. The opening 1073 in the reinforcing member 1070-1 may open or expose at least a portion of the fourth substrate 1804 of the circuit board 1800. For example, the opening 1073 may open or expose at least a portion of the first portion 1804A (or "first region") and the second portion 1804B (or "second region") of the fourth substrate 1804.

[0753] The opening 1073 in the reinforcing member 1070-1 can be a hole, a through-hole, or a hollow.

[0754] The opening 1073 may be formed in either the first region 1070A or the second region 1070A of the reinforcing member 1070-1. For example, the opening 1073 may be formed in either the first region 1070A or the second region 1070A of the reinforcing member 1070-1. Furthermore, the opening 1073 may open or expose at least a portion of the first bent portion 1804D.

[0755] In other embodiments, the opening may be formed in only one of the first region 1070A and the second region 1070A of the reinforcing member 1070-1, and the opening may not expose the first bent portion 1804D.

[0756] The opening 1073 can reduce the elastic modulus of the second substrate 1802 of the circuit board 1800 coupled with the reinforcing member 1070-1, thereby facilitating movement of the OIS moving portion when the OIS is driven. That is, the opening 1073 can reduce the elastic force of the circuit board 1800, for example, the second substrate 1802, that supports the OIS moving portion, thereby facilitating OIS drive with a small driving force and reducing power consumption. Here, the driving force may be a force resulting from the interaction between the coil 1230 and the magnet 1310.

[0757] 30a and 30b, the movement suppressing portion 1080 may be coupled to the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210. For example, the movement suppressing portion 1080 may be coupled to the coupling grooves 1215A and 1215B of the protrusion 1215 of the housing 1210.

[0758] At least a portion of second portion 1804B of fourth substrate 1804 can be disposed between movement suppressing portion 1080 and the inner surface of protrusion 1215 of housing 1210. For example, at least a portion of reinforcing member 1070 can be disposed between movement suppressing portion 1080 and the inner surface of protrusion 1215 of housing 1210.

[0759] The movement suppressing portion 1080 may be spaced apart from the circuit board 1800 in the second direction (X-axis direction) or the third direction (Y-axis direction). For example, the movement suppressing portion 1080 may be spaced apart from the circuit board 1800 in the optical axis direction or in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. That is, the movement suppressing portion 1080 may serve to maintain the shape of the bent portions 1804D and 1804E of the fourth substrate 1804, which is a flexible substrate. For example, the movement suppressing portion 1080 may be an injection-molded product made of a non-magnetic mater...
