Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present embodiment relates to a lens driving device, a camera module, and an optical device. Background Technology

[0002] As the distribution of various mobile devices has become widespread and wireless internet services have been commercialized, consumer demands related to mobile devices are also diversifying, leading to the installation of various types of accessory devices on mobile devices.

[0003] A representative example among these is the camera module, which captures subjects as photos or videos. Meanwhile, recent camera modules are equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS) features to compensate for user hand shake during shooting. Furthermore, as mobile devices enhance functionality and increase pixel counts, the size of image sensors and lens apertures are also increasing.

[0004] However, as the lens aperture increases, when vibration and shock occur in the camera module, the stress applied to the support member supporting the OIS drive increases, causing deformation and disconnection of the support member, which results in the inability to drive the OIS and oscillation failure.
