The real image may correspond to the external environment. The virtual object may include at least one of text and images corresponding to various pieces of information related to an object included in a real image. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the virtual object may include at least one of text and images corresponding to various pieces of information related to another object that is distinct from the object included in the real image. For example, the electronic device (101) may be referred to as at least one of a virtual reality (VR) device and a mixed reality (MR) device. For example, since the electronic device (101) may be worn on a user's head, it may be referred to as a head-mounted display device (HMD device).

[0061] According to one embodiment, the first housing (210) may form (or define) a portion of an outer surface of the electronic device (101). The first housing (210) may form (or define) a portion of a space in which various components of the electronic device (101) may be arranged. The first housing (210) may support various components of the electronic device (101). For example, a plurality of lens supports (230), a cover (240), and / or a first pad (250) may be coupled to the first housing (210). The first housing (210) may surround (or enclose) a portion (b1) of the user's body while the electronic device (101) is worn by the user. For example, the first housing (210) may at least partially accommodate a portion (b1) of the user's body while the electronic device (101) is worn by the user. For example, the first housing (210) may be in contact with a part of the user's body (b1) while the electronic device (101) is worn by the user, but is not limited thereto. For example, the first housing (210) may be referred to as a main housing. For example, the first housing (210) may be referred to as a frame because it provides the overall framework of the electronic device (101).

[0062] According to one embodiment, the second housing (220) may form (or define) another portion of the outer surface of the electronic device (101). The second housing (220) may form (or define) another portion of a space in which various components of the electronic device (101) may be arranged.

For example, the first support member (310) can be, but is not limited to, one of a first housing (e.g., the first housing (210) of FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C) and a first bracket (e.g., the first bracket (271) of FIG. 3B). One side (310a) of the first support member (310) can face the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232). For example, the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232) may be movable with respect to one side (310a) of the first support member (310). For example, when the first support member (310) is referred to as the first bracket (271), one side (310a) of the first support member (310) may be substantially identical to one side (e.g., one side (271a) of FIG. 3B) of the first bracket (271).

[0105] In one embodiment, the pinion gear (320) may mesh with the first rack gear (231b) and the second rack gear (232b). For example, the pinion gear (320) may include a plurality of gear teeth that mesh with the first rack gear (231b) and the second rack gear (232b). The pinion gear (320) may be disposed on the first support member (310). For example, the pinion gear (320) may be coupled to the first support member (310). The pinion gear (320) may be rotatable with respect to the first support member (310) by movement of the first lens support member (231) and the second lens support member (232). For example, the pinion gear (320) may be rotatable in a first rotational direction (r1) and / or a second rotational direction (r2) with respect to the first support member (310). While the pinion gear (320) rotates, the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) may change. For example, while the pinion gear (320) rotates, the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) may change. The pinion gear (320) may maintain the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) by engaging the first rack gear (231b) and the second rack gear (232b). For example, the pinion gear (320) can limit the movement of the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232) by engaging the first rack gear (231b) and the second rack gear (232b) before an external force is applied to the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232).

[0106] For example, while the first lens support (231) moves in a first direction (e.g., +x direction) away from the second lens support (232), the first rack gear (231b) can move in the first direction (e.g., +x direction) with respect to the second rack gear (232b). By the movement of the first rack gear (231b) with respect to the second rack gear (232b) in the first direction (e.g., +x direction), the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) can be changed from the first distance (d1) to the second distance (d2). The first distance (d1) can represent the position of the first lens support (231) with respect to the second lens support (232). For example, the first distance (d1) may be expressed differently as a first position of the first lens support (231) with respect to the second lens support (232). For example, the first distance (d1) may represent, but is not limited to, a minimum distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a). The second distance (d2) may represent a position of the first lens support (231) with respect to the second lens support (232). For example, the second distance (d2) may be expressed differently as a second position of the first lens support (231) with respect to the second lens support (232). The second distance (d2) may be different from the first distance (d1). For example, the second distance (d2) may be greater than the first distance (d1). For example, the second distance (d2) may represent, but is not limited to, the maximum distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a). For example, the second distance (d2) may be smaller than the first distance (d1). While the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) changes from the first distance (d1) to the second distance (d2), the pinion gear (320) may rotate along the first rotation direction (r1). For example, as the pinion gear (320) rotates along the first rotation direction (r1), the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) may increase.For example, as the pinion gear (320) rotates along the first rotational direction (r1), the first lens support (231) can move along the first direction (e.g., +x direction), and the second lens support (232) can move in the second direction (e.g., -x direction) opposite to the first direction (e.g., +x direction).

[0107] For example, while the first lens support (231) moves in a second direction (e.g., -x direction) toward the second lens support (232), the first rack gear (231b) can move in a second direction (e.g., -x direction) with respect to the second rack gear (232b). By the movement of the first rack gear (231b) with respect to the second rack gear (232b) in the second direction (e.g., -x direction), the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) can be changed from the second distance (d2) to the first distance (d1). While the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is changed from the second distance (d2) to the first distance (d1), the pinion gear (320) can rotate in a second rotational direction (r2) opposite to the first rotational direction (r1). For example, as the pinion gear (320) rotates along the second rotation direction (r2), the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) may decrease. For example, as the pinion gear (320) rotates along the second rotation direction (r2), the first lens support (231) may move along the second direction (e.g., the -x direction), and the second lens support (232) may move along the first direction (e.g., the +x direction).

[0108] According to one embodiment, the guide module (400) can provide physical resistance to each of the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232). Since the guide module (400) provides physical resistance, it can be referred to as a resistance module. The guide module (400) can provide frictional force to each of the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232) so that a user can stably change the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a). For example, if the guide module (400) is omitted, the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) may not be finely adjusted by force from the user. An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may provide a structure in which a distance between a first lens (231a) and a second lens (232a) can be finely adjusted by a user by a guide module (400) that provides physical resistance to a first lens support (231) and a second lens support (232). According to one embodiment, the guide module (400) may be placed (or accommodated) in a through hole (311) of the first support member (310) that penetrates the first support member (310). For example, the through hole (311) of the first support member (310) may penetrate one surface (310a) of the first support member (310) and the other surface (310b) of the first support member (310). For example, the through hole (311) may extend from one side (310a) of the first support member (310) to the other side (310b) of the first support member (310). The other side (310b) of the first support member (310) may be opposite to the one side (310a) of the first support member (310). For example, the direction in which the other side (310b) of the first support member (310) faces (e.g., -y direction) may be opposite to the direction in which the one side (310a) of the first support member (310) faces (e.g., +y direction).According to one embodiment, the guide module (400) may include a plurality of moving members (410) and / or a plurality of friction members (420).

[0109] According to one embodiment, each of the plurality of moving members (410) may be coupled to each of the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232). For example, the plurality of moving members (410) may include a first moving member (411) and a second moving member (412). For example, each of the plurality of moving members (410) may be referred to as, but is not limited to, a lens holder, a lens bracket, and / or a moving holder.

[0110] According to one embodiment, the first moving member (411) may be coupled to the first lens support (231). The first moving member (411) may be movable together with the first lens support (231). For example, referring to FIG. 4C, the first moving member (411) may be fastened to the first lens support (231). For example, the first moving member (411) may be fastened to the first lens support (231) by at least one first fastening member (f1) penetrating the first moving member (411) and the first lens support (231). According to one embodiment, the guide module (400) may include a first coupling member (411a). The first coupling member (411a) may be utilized to couple the first moving member (411) and the first lens support (231). The first coupling member (411a) can penetrate the first lens support (231) and the first moving member (411). For example, the first coupling member (411a) can be formed separately from the first moving member (411) and then inserted into the first moving member (411) and the first lens support (231), but is not limited thereto. For example, the first coupling member (411a) can be formed integrally with the first moving member (411). For example, the first coupling member (411a) can be omitted in the guide module (400). For example, the first moving member (411) can be moved with respect to the first support member (310) together with the first lens support (231) by being fastened to the first lens support (231) while the first lens support (231) moves with respect to the first support member (310). For example, the first movable member (411) may move along the first direction (e.g., +x direction) with respect to the first support member (310) together with the first lens support member (231) while the first lens support member (231) moves along the first direction (e.g., +x direction) with respect to the first support member (310).For example, the first movable member (411) can move along a second direction (e.g., -x direction) with respect to the first support member (310) together with the first lens support member (231) while the first lens support member (231) moves along a second direction (e.g., -x direction) with respect to the first support member (310).

[0111] In one embodiment, the second moving member (412) can be coupled to the second lens support (232). The second moving member (412) can be movable together with the second lens support (232). For example, referring to FIG. 4C, the second moving member (412) can be fastened to the second lens support (232). For example, the second moving member (412) can be fastened to the second lens support (232) by at least one second fastening member (f2) penetrating through the second moving member (412) and the second lens support (232). In one embodiment, the guide module (400) can include a second coupling member (412a). The second coupling member (412a) can be utilized to couple the second moving member (412) and the second lens support (232). The second coupling member (412a) can penetrate the second lens support (232) and the second moving member (412). For example, the second coupling member (412a) can be formed separately from the second moving member (412) and then inserted into the second moving member (412) and the second lens support (232), but is not limited thereto. For example, the second coupling member (412a) can be formed integrally with the second moving member (412). For example, the second coupling member (412a) can be omitted in the guide module (400). For example, the second moving member (412) can be moved with respect to the first support member (310) together with the second lens support (232) by being fastened to the second lens support (232) while the second lens support (232) moves with respect to the first support member (310). For example, the second movable member (412) can move along the first direction (e.g., +x direction) with respect to the first support member (310) together with the second lens support member (232) while the second lens support member (232) moves along the first direction (e.g., +x direction) with respect to the first support member (310).For example, the second movable member (412) can move along a second direction (e.g., the -x direction) with respect to the first support member (310) together with the second lens support member (232) while the second lens support member (232) moves along a second direction (e.g., the -x direction) with respect to the first support member (310).

[0112] In one embodiment, each of the plurality of friction members (420) may be coupled to each of the plurality of moving members (410). For example, each of the plurality of friction members (420) may penetrate each of the plurality of moving members (410). For example, each of the plurality of friction members (420) may be inserted into each of the plurality of moving members (410). For example, each of the plurality of friction members (420) may be referred to as, but is not limited to, a beam, a bar, an extension member, and / or a penetrating member. In one embodiment, the plurality of friction members (420) may include a first friction member (421) and / or a second friction member (422).

[0113] In one embodiment, the first friction member (421) can penetrate the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412). For example, the first friction member (421) can be inserted into the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412). For example, the first friction member (421) can provide frictional force to the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412) by contacting the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412) while the first lens support (231) and the first moving member (411) move together. For example, the first friction member (421) can provide frictional force to the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) by contacting the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) while the second lens support (232) and the second movable member (412) move together. The frictional force applied to the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) can provide physical resistance to the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232). As the physical resistance is provided to the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232), the user can finely change (or adjust) the distance between the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232). For example, the first friction member (421) can include a frictionally robust material. For example, the first friction member (421) may be formed of a friction-resistant material. For example, the first friction member (421) may include, but is not limited to, polyoxymethylene resin.

[0114] In one embodiment, the second friction member (422) can penetrate the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412). For example, the second friction member (422) can be inserted into the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412). For example, the second friction member (422) can provide frictional force to the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) by contacting the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) while the first lens support (231) and the first movable member (411) move together. For example, the second friction member (422) can provide frictional force to the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) by contacting the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) while the second lens support (232) and the second movable member (412) move together. The frictional force applied to the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) can provide physical resistance to the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232). By providing physical resistance to the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232), the user can finely change (or adjust) the distance between the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232). For example, the second friction member (422) can include a frictionally robust material. For example, the second friction member (422) may be formed of a friction-resistant material. For example, the second friction member (422) may include, but is not limited to, polyoxymethylene resin. The second friction member (422) may be aligned with respect to the first friction member (421). For example, the second friction member (422) may be arranged with respect to the first friction member (421) in a direction away from the first friction member (421) (e.g., the -z direction).

[0115] According to one embodiment, the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) may be movable in a direction away from each other. For example, each of the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) may be movable in a direction away from each other while the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232) move relative to the first support member (310). For example, a structure in which the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) are movable may be described through FIGS. 5A, 5B, 5C, and / or 5D.

[0116] FIG. 5A is an exploded perspective view of an exemplary resistor module according to one embodiment, FIG. 5B is a perspective view illustrating an exemplary resistor module when the distance between the first lens and the second lens is a first distance, FIG. 5C is a perspective view illustrating an exemplary resistor module when the distance between the first lens and the second lens is a second distance, and FIG. 5D is a side view of an exemplary resistor module according to one embodiment.

[0117] Referring to FIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d, according to one embodiment, the guide module (400) may further include at least one deformation member (430).

[0118] In one embodiment, at least one deformable member (430) may be deformable. For example, at least one deformable member (430) may be formed of an elastically deformable material. For example, at least one deformable member (430) may be referred to as at least one elastic member. For example, at least one deformable member (430) may be, but is not limited to, a spring. For example, at least one deformable member (430) may include a coil spring, a leaf spring, rubber, and / or silicone. At least one deformable member (430) may be disposed between a plurality of friction members (420). For example, at least one deformable member (430) may be disposed within a plurality of friction members (420). For example, at least one deformable member (430) may be surrounded (or encircled) by a first friction member (421) and a second friction member (422). For example, at least one deformation member (430) may include, but is not limited to, a plurality of deformation members spaced apart from each other along a first direction (e.g., +x direction).

[0119] According to one embodiment, the first friction member (421) may include at least one first groove (421a), and the second friction member (422) may include at least one second groove (422a).

[0120] According to one embodiment, at least one first groove (421a) may be formed in the first friction member (421). For example, the at least one first groove (421a) may be formed by at least a portion of the first friction member (421) being recessed inward. The at least one first groove (421a) may provide a space in which at least one deformable member (430) may be disposed (or received). For example, a portion of the at least one deformable member (430) may be received (or inserted, or placed) within the at least one first groove (421a). For example, the at least one first groove (421a) may include a plurality of first grooves spaced apart from each other along a first direction (e.g., +x direction) when the at least one deformable member (430) includes a plurality of deformable members.

[0121] In one embodiment, at least one second groove (422a) may be formed in the second friction member (422). For example, the at least one second groove (422a) may be formed by at least a portion of the second friction member (422) being recessed inward. The at least one second groove (422a) may provide a space in which at least one deformable member (430) may be disposed (or received). For example, another portion of the at least one deformable member (430) may be received (or inserted, or placed) within the at least one second groove (422a). For example, the at least one second groove (422a) may include a plurality of second grooves spaced apart from each other along the first direction (e.g., the +x direction) when the at least one deformable member (430) includes a plurality of deformable members. In one embodiment, at least one second groove (422a) may be arranged relative to at least one first groove (421a). For example, at least one second groove (422a) may be aligned relative to at least one first groove (421a) so as to accommodate at least one deformable member (430).

[0122] According to one embodiment, at least one deformable member (430) is disposed between the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422), thereby urging each of the plurality of friction members (420) away from each other. For example, as a portion of at least one deformable member (430) is received within at least one first groove (421a), and another portion of at least one deformable member (430) is received within at least one second groove (422a), the at least one deformable member (430) can urge the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) away from each other within the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422). For example, the first friction member (421) can be moved independently of each of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) by at least one deformable member (430) while at least one of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) moves. For example, the at least one deformable member (430) can apply a force to the first friction member (421) in a third direction (e.g., a +z direction) away from the second friction member (422). The third direction (e.g., a +z direction) can be substantially perpendicular to a direction of movement (e.g., a first direction (e.g., a +x direction) and / or a second direction (e.g., a -x direction)) of the first movable member (411) and / or the second movable member (412). A force in a third direction (e.g., +z direction) transmitted to the first friction member (421) by at least one deformable member (430) can increase the magnitude of a vertical force acting between the first friction member (421) and the first movable member (411), and between the first friction member (421) and the second movable member (412). As the magnitude of the vertical force increases, the magnitude of a frictional force acting between the first friction member (421) and the first movable member (411), and between the first friction member (421) and the second movable member (412) can increase.For example, the second friction member (422) can be moved independently of each of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) by at least one deformable member (430) while at least one of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) moves. For example, the at least one deformable member (430) can apply a force to the first friction member (421) in a fourth direction (e.g., the -z direction) away from the first friction member (421). The fourth direction (e.g., the -z direction) can be substantially perpendicular to a direction of movement (e.g., the first direction (e.g., the +x direction) and / or the second direction (e.g., the -x direction)) of the first movable member (411) and / or the second movable member (412). A force in the fourth direction (e.g., the -z direction) transmitted to the second friction member (422) by at least one deformable member (430) can increase the magnitude of a vertical force acting between the second friction member (422) and the first movable member (411), and between the second friction member (422) and the second movable member (412). As the magnitude of the vertical force increases, the magnitude of a frictional force acting between the second friction member (422) and the first movable member (411), and between the second friction member (422) and the second movable member (412) can increase. An electronic device according to one embodiment (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIGS. 4A and 4B) may provide a structure in which a distance between a first lens support (e.g., the first lens support (231) of FIG. 4A) and a second lens support (e.g., the second lens support (232) of FIG. 4A) can be finely adjusted (or changed) by at least one deformable member (430) that provides friction between a plurality of friction members (420) and a plurality of moving members (410).

[0123] According to one embodiment, the first movable member (411) may include a first opening (411b), and the second movable member (412) may include a second opening (412b).

[0124] According to one embodiment, the first opening (411b) can accommodate each of a plurality of friction members (420). The first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) can be inserted into the first opening (411b). The first opening (411b) can penetrate the first movable member (411). The first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) can be inserted into the first opening (411b) to come into contact with the first inner surface (411c) of the first movable member (411). The first inner surface (411c) can surround (or enclose) the first opening (411b).

[0125] According to one embodiment, the second opening (412b) can accommodate each of a plurality of friction members (420). The first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) can be inserted into the second opening (412b). The second opening (412b) can pass through the second moving member (412). The first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) can be inserted into the second opening (412b) to come into contact with the second inner surface (412c) of the second moving member (412). The second inner surface (412c) can surround (or enclose) the second opening (412b).

[0126] According to one embodiment, the plurality of friction members (420) may include a first portion (423), a second portion (424), and / or a third portion (425). The first portion (423), the second portion (424), and / or the third portion (425) may represent portions of the plurality of friction members (420) in a state in which the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) are coupled.

[0127] According to one embodiment, the first portion (423) can limit the range of movement of each of the plurality of movable members (410). The first portion (423) can be positioned between the second portion (424) and the third portion (425). For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first portion (423) can be larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first opening (411b) and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second opening (412b). For example, the first portion (423) can have a thickness greater than the second portion (424) and the third portion (425). For example, when the distance between the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232) is a minimum distance (e.g., the first distance (d1) of FIG. 4A), the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412) can come into contact with the first part (423) of the plurality of moving members (410).

[0128] In one embodiment, the second portion (424) may be connected to the first portion (423). For example, the second portion (424) may be connected to one end of the first portion (423). For example, the second portion (424) may extend from the first portion (423) in a first direction (e.g., +x direction). The second portion (424) may be inserted into the first opening (411b). For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second portion (424) may correspond to the size of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first opening (411b). For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second portion (424) may be smaller than the size of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first portion (423).

[0129] In one embodiment, the third portion (425) may be connected to the first portion (423). For example, the third portion (425) may be connected to the other end of the first portion (423). For example, the third portion (425) may extend from the first portion (423) in a second direction (e.g., the -x direction). The third portion (425) may be inserted into the second opening (412b). For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the third portion (425) may correspond to the size of the cross-sectional area of ​​the second opening (412b). For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the third portion (425) may be smaller than the size of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first portion (423).

[0130] As described above, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can provide a structure in which the distance between the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232) can be finely changed (or adjusted) by the guide module (400) for providing resistance to the first lens support (231) and the second lens support (232).

[0131] According to one embodiment, each of the plurality of friction members (420) may have a linearly extended shape. For example, each of the plurality of friction members (420) may have a shape that is substantially parallel to the moving direction of the first lens support (231) and / or the second lens support (232). For example, each of the plurality of friction members (420) may have a shape that extends in a direction parallel to the first direction (e.g., +x direction) and / or the second direction (e.g., -x direction). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, an example in which the shape of each of the plurality of friction members (420) is changed can be described through FIG. 6.

[0132] FIG. 6 is a plan view of an exemplary resistance module according to one embodiment.

[0133] Referring to FIG. 6, according to one embodiment, each of the plurality of friction members (420) may have a curved shape. For example, at least one of the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) may have a curved shape with a curvature. For example, at least one of the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) may have a curved shape with a curvature with respect to a first direction (e.g., +x direction) and / or a second direction (e.g., -x direction). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one of the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422) may have a shape that is inclined with respect to the first direction (e.g., +x direction) and / or the second direction (e.g., -x direction). For example, the second portion (424) and the third portion (425) of the plurality of friction members (420) may have a shape that is inclined with respect to the first direction (e.g., +x direction) and / or the second direction (e.g., -x direction), which are the moving directions of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412). For example, the first portion (423) of the plurality of friction members (420) may have a shape that is substantially parallel with respect to the first direction (e.g., +x direction) and / or the second direction (e.g., -x direction), but is not limited thereto.

[0134] FIG. 7A is a perspective view illustrating a plurality of exemplary moving members according to one embodiment, FIG. 7B is a perspective view illustrating a plurality of exemplary friction members according to one embodiment, and FIG. 7C is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a plurality of exemplary moving members and a plurality of friction members are coupled according to one embodiment.

[0135] Referring to FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C, according to one embodiment, the plurality of moving members (410) may include a plurality of first protrusions (413). The plurality of first protrusions (413) may increase a frictional force between each of the plurality of moving members (410) and each of the plurality of friction members (420). For example, the plurality of first protrusions (413) may increase a contact area between each of the plurality of moving members (410) and each of the plurality of friction members (420), thereby increasing a frictional force between each of the plurality of moving members (410) and each of the plurality of friction members (420). The plurality of first protrusions (413) may be disposed on at least one of the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412). For example, a plurality of first protrusions (413) may be arranged within at least one of the first opening (411b) and the second opening (412b). For example, a plurality of first protrusions (413) may be formed within at least one of the first opening (411b) and the second opening (412b).

[0136] According to one embodiment, the plurality of friction members (420) may include a plurality of second protrusions (426). The plurality of second protrusions (426) may correspond to the plurality of first protrusions (413). The plurality of second protrusions (426) may engage the plurality of first protrusions (413). The plurality of second protrusions (426) may contact the plurality of first protrusions (413). For example, the plurality of second protrusions (426) may be arranged relative to the plurality of first protrusions (413). As the plurality of second protrusions (426) and the plurality of first protrusions (413) engage with each other, the frictional force between each of the plurality of moving members (410) and each of the plurality of friction members (420) may increase. For example, the plurality of second protrusions (426) may be formed on portions of the plurality of friction members (420) other than the first portion (423) of the plurality of friction members (420) (e.g., the second portion (424) and / or the third portion (425)). The plurality of second protrusions (426) may be formed on at least one of the first friction member (421) and the second friction member (422).

[0137] According to one embodiment, a plurality of second protrusions (426) may be formed on a first side surface (421b) of the first friction member (421). For example, the plurality of second protrusions (426) may be arranged along the first side surface (421b) of the first friction member (421). The first side surface (421b) of the first friction member (421) may face a third direction (e.g., a +z direction). At least a portion of the first side surface (421b) of the first friction member (421) may face the first opening (411b) and the second opening (412b).

[0138] According to one embodiment, a plurality of second protrusions (426) may be formed on a second side surface (422b) of the second friction member (422). For example, the plurality of second protrusions (426) may be arranged along the second side surface (422b) of the second friction member (422). The second side surface (422b) of the second friction member (422) may face a fourth direction (e.g., a -z direction). At least a portion of the second side surface (422b) of the second friction member (422) may face the first opening (411b) and the second opening (412b).

[0139] As described above, the guide module (400) according to one embodiment can provide a structure in which the distance between the first lens support (e.g., the first lens support (231) of FIG. 4A) and the second lens support (e.g., the second lens support (232) of FIG. 4A) can be finely adjusted by a plurality of first protrusions (413) and a plurality of second protrusions (426) for increasing the frictional force between the plurality of moving members (410) and the plurality of friction members (420).

[0140] Figure 8 is a perspective view of an exemplary resistance module according to one embodiment.

[0141] The guide module (400) of FIG. 8 may be an added guide module (400) of the first link structure (440) and the second link structure (450) in the guide module (400) of FIG. 4a, so redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0142] Referring to FIG. 8, a guide module (400) according to one embodiment may include a first link structure (440) and a second link structure (450). Each of the first link structure (440) and the second link structure (450) may link the movements of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412). For example, by the first link structure (440), the movement distances of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) with respect to the plurality of friction members (420) may be the same. For example, by the second link structure (450), the movement distances of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) with respect to the plurality of friction members (420) may be the same.

[0143] According to one embodiment, the first link structure (440) may include a first connecting member (441), a second connecting member (442), and / or a first pin (443).

[0144] According to one embodiment, the first connecting member (441) can be coupled to the first moving member (411) and the first pin (443). For example, one end (441a) of the first connecting member (441) can be coupled to the first moving member (411). For example, one end (441a) of the first connecting member (441) can be coupled to the first moving member (411) by a third fastening member (f3) penetrating the one end (441a) of the first connecting member (441) and the first moving member (411). For example, the other end (441b) of the first connecting member (441), which is opposite to the one end (441a) of the first connecting member (441), can be coupled to the first pin (443). The first connecting member (441) may be rotatable relative to the first moving member (411) and the first pin (443) while the first moving member (411) moves relative to the plurality of friction members (420). The first connecting member (441) may be rotatable relative to the first pin (443) by the movement of the first moving member (411).

[0145] In one embodiment, the second connecting member (442) can be coupled to the second moving member (412) and the first pin (443). For example, one end (442a) of the second connecting member (442) can be coupled to the second moving member (412). For example, one end (442a) of the second connecting member (442) can be coupled to the second moving member (412) by a fourth fastening member (f4) penetrating the one end (442a) of the second connecting member (442) and the second moving member (412). The second connecting member (442) can be rotatable about the first pin (443) by the movement of the second moving member (412). For example, the second connecting member (442) can be rotatable about the first pin (443) while the second moving member (412) moves. For example, the other end (442b) of the second connecting member (442), which is opposite to the end (442a) of the second connecting member (442), may be coupled to the first pin (443). The second connecting member (442) may be disposed (or laminated) on the first connecting member (441). The second connecting member (442) may be rotatable relative to the second moving member (412) and the first pin (443) while the second moving member (412) moves relative to the plurality of friction members (420). The second connecting member (442) may be rotatable relative to the first pin (443) by the movement of the second moving member (412).

[0146] In one embodiment, the first pin (443) can be coupled to the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442). The first pin (443) can provide (or form) a rotational axis of the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442). The first pin (443) can penetrate the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442). For example, the first pin (443) can penetrate the other end (441b) of the first connecting member (441) and the other end (442b) of the second connecting member (442). For example, the first pin (443) can be inserted into the other end (441b) of the first connecting member (441) and the other end (442b) of the second connecting member (442). For example, the fifth fastening member (f5) can maintain the connection between the first connecting member (441), the second connecting member (442), and the first pin (443) by penetrating the first pin (443).

[0147] According to one embodiment, the second link structure (450) may include a third connecting member (451), a fourth connecting member (452), and / or a second pin (453).

[0148] In one embodiment, the third connecting member (451) can be coupled to the first moving member (411) and the second pin (453). For example, one end (451a) of the third connecting member (451) can be coupled to the first moving member (411). For example, one end (451a) of the third connecting member (451) can be coupled to the first moving member (411) by a sixth fastening member (f6) penetrating the one end (451a) of the third connecting member (451) and the first moving member (411). The third connecting member (451) can be rotatable about the second pin (453) by the movement of the first moving member (411). For example, the third connecting member (451) can be rotatable about the second pin (453) while the first moving member (411) moves. For example, the other end (451b) of the third connecting member (451), which is opposite to the end (451a) of the third connecting member (451), may be coupled to the second pin (453). The third connecting member (451) may be rotatable relative to the first moving member (411) and the second pin (453) while the first moving member (411) moves relative to the plurality of friction members (420). The third connecting member (451) may be rotatable relative to the second pin (453) by the movement of the first moving member (411).

[0149] In one embodiment, the fourth connecting member (452) can be coupled to the second moving member (412) and the second pin (453). For example, one end (452a) of the fourth connecting member (452) can be coupled to the second moving member (412). For example, one end (452a) of the fourth connecting member (452) can be coupled to the second moving member (412) by a seventh fastening member (f7) penetrating the one end (452a) of the fourth connecting member (452) and the second moving member (412). The fourth connecting member (452) can be rotatable about the second pin (453) by the movement of the second moving member (412). For example, the fourth connecting member (452) can be rotatable about the second pin (453) while the second moving member (412) moves. For example, the other end (452b) of the fourth connecting member (452), which is opposite to the end (452a) of the fourth connecting member (452), may be coupled to the second pin (453). The fourth connecting member (452) may be disposed (or laminated) on the third connecting member (451). The fourth connecting member (452) may be rotatable relative to the second moving member (412) and the second pin (453) while the second moving member (412) moves relative to the plurality of friction members (420). The fourth connecting member (452) may be rotatable relative to the second pin (453) by the movement of the second moving member (412).

[0150] In one embodiment, the second pin (453) can be coupled to the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452). The second pin (453) can provide (or form) a rotational axis of the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452). The second pin (453) can penetrate the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452). For example, the second pin (453) can penetrate the other end (451b) of the third connecting member (451) and the other end (452b) of the fourth connecting member (452). For example, the second pin (453) can be inserted into the other end (451b) of the third connecting member (451) and the other end (452b) of the fourth connecting member (452). For example, the eighth fastening member (f8) can maintain the connection between the third connecting member (451), the fourth connecting member (452), and the second pin (453) by penetrating the second pin (453).

[0151] According to one embodiment, the first link structure (440) and the second link structure (450) may be symmetrical with respect to the plurality of friction members (420). For example, the first link structure (440) and the second link structure (450) may be arranged (or arranged) symmetrically with respect to the plurality of friction members (420). For example, the plurality of friction members (420) may be arranged between the first link structure (440) and the second link structure (450). For example, the plurality of moving members (410) may be arranged between the first link structure (440) and the second link structure (450). For example, the plurality of friction members (420) may be arranged between the first pin (443) and the second pin (453).

[0152] According to one embodiment, the first pin (443) may be movable while the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442) rotate with respect to the first pin (443). The second pin (453) may be movable while the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452) rotate with respect to the second pin (453). Movement of the first pin (443) and the second pin (453) may be described with reference to FIGS. 9A, 9B, 9C, and 9D.

[0153] Meanwhile, in the following description, the first pin (443) and the second pin (453) are described as being movable, but the embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the positions of each of the first pin (443) and the second pin (453) may be maintained (or fixed) while at least one of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) moves.

[0154] FIG. 9a is a plan view of an exemplary resistor module when the distance between the first lens and the second lens is the first distance, FIG. 9b is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of the exemplary resistor module cut along line B-B' of FIG. 9a, FIG. 9c is a plan view of an exemplary resistor module when the distance between the first lens and the second lens is the second distance, and FIG. 9d is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of the exemplary resistor module cut along line C-C' of FIG. 9c.

[0155] Referring to FIGS. 9a, 9b, 9c, and 9d, according to one embodiment, the first support member (310) may include a first guide space (312) and a second guide space (313).

[0156] In one embodiment, the first guide space (312) can accommodate a first pin (443). The first pin (443) can be positioned within the first guide space (312). For example, the first pin (443) can be inserted within the first guide space (312). For example, the first pin (443) can penetrate the first guide space (312). In one embodiment, the first guide space (312) can penetrate the first support member (310). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first guide space (312) can have a groove shape. For example, when the first guide space (312) has a groove shape, the first guide space (312) can be formed by at least a portion of the first support member (310) being recessed inward. For example, the first guide space (312) may be referred to as a first guide groove and / or a first guide opening. One end (312a) of the first guide space (312) and the other end (312b) of the first guide space (312) may be spaced apart from each other. For example, the other end (312b) of the first guide space (312) may be spaced apart from the one end (312a) of the first guide space (312) along a third direction (e.g., the +z direction).

[0157] According to one embodiment, the second guide space (313) can penetrate the first support member (310). The second guide space (313) can accommodate a second pin (453). The second pin (453) can be positioned within the second guide space (313). For example, the second pin (453) can be inserted within the second guide space (313). For example, the second pin (453) can penetrate the second guide space (313). The second guide space (313) can penetrate the first support member (310). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the second guide space (313) can have a groove shape. For example, when the second guide space (313) has a groove shape, the second guide space (313) may be formed by at least a portion of the first support member (310) being sunken inward. For example, the second guide space (313) may be referred to as a second guide groove and / or a second guide opening. According to one embodiment, the second guide space (313) may be separated from the first guide space (312). The second guide space (313) may be spaced apart from the first guide space (312). For example, the second guide space (313) may be spaced apart from the first guide space (312) in a third direction (e.g., the +z direction). One end (313a) of the second guide space (313) and the other end (313b) of the second guide space (313) may be spaced apart from each other. For example, the other end (313b) of the second guide space (313) may be spaced apart from one end (313a) of the second guide space (313) along the fourth direction (e.g., -z direction).

[0158] In one embodiment, the first pin (443) may be coupled to the first support member (310). For example, the first pin (443) may be coupled to be movable relative to the first support member (310). For example, the first pin (443) may be movable relative to the first guide space (312). For example, the first pin (443) may be movable along a third direction (e.g., a +z direction) and / or a fourth direction (e.g., a -z direction) opposite to the third direction (e.g., a +z direction) while at least one of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) moves. For example, the first pin (443) may be positioned (or accommodated) at one end (312a) of the first guide space (312) when the distance between the first lens (e.g., the first lens (231a) of FIG. 4A) and the second lens (e.g., the second lens (232a) of FIG. 4A) is the first distance (e.g., the first distance (d1) of FIG. 4A). For example, the first pin (443) may be positioned (or accommodated) at the other end (312b) of the first guide space (312) opposite to the one end (312a) of the first guide space (312) when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is the second distance (d2).

[0159] According to one embodiment, as the first pin (443) is movable relative to the first support member (310), the movements of the first lens support member (231) and the second lens support member (232) can be linked. As the first pin (443) is movable relative to the first support member (310), the movements of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) can be linked. For example, while the first movable member (411) moves along a first direction (e.g., +x direction), the first pin (443) can move in a third direction (e.g., +z direction) within the first guide space (312) by the first connecting member (441) connected to the first movable member (411). For example, as the first pin (443) slides in a third direction (e.g., +z direction) with respect to the first guide space (312), the second connecting member (442) connected to the first pin (443) can rotate with respect to the first pin (443). By the rotation of the second connecting member (442), the second moving member (412) connected to the second connecting member (442) can move in a second direction (e.g., -x direction). As the second moving member (412) moves in the second direction (e.g., -x direction), the second lens support (232) coupled to the second moving member (412) can move along the second direction (e.g., -x direction).

[0160] According to one embodiment, the angle between the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442) can be changed by movement of at least one of the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412). For example, when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a first distance (d1), the angle between the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442) can be a first angle (a1). For example, while the first pin (443) is in contact with one end (312a) of the first guide space (312), the angle between the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442) can be a first angle (a1). As the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) move away from each other, the angle between the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442) may increase. For example, when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a second distance (d2), the angle between the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442) may be a second angle (a2) that is different from the first angle (a1). For example, while the first pin (443) is in contact with the other end (312b) of the first guide space (312), the angle between the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442) may be the second angle (a2). For example, the second angle (a2) may be greater than the first angle (a1). As the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) move toward each other, the angle between the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442) can be reduced.

[0161] In one embodiment, the second pin (453) may be coupled to the first support member (310). For example, the second pin (453) may be coupled to be movable relative to the first support member (310). For example, the second pin (453) may be movable relative to the second guide space (313). For example, the second pin (453) may be movable along a third direction (e.g., +z direction) and / or a fourth direction (e.g., -z direction) opposite to the third direction (e.g., +z direction) while at least one of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) moves. For example, the second pin (453) may be positioned (or accommodated) at one end (313a) of the second guide space (313) when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a first distance (d1). For example, the second pin (453) may be positioned (or accommodated) at the other end (313b) of the second guide space (313) opposite to the one end (313a) of the second guide space (313) when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a second distance (d2).

[0162] In one embodiment, as the second pin (453) is movable relative to the first support member (310), the movements of the first lens support member (231) and the second lens support member (232) can be linked. As the second pin (453) is movable relative to the first support member (310), the movements of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) can be linked. For example, while the first movable member (411) moves along a first direction (e.g., +x direction), the second pin (453) can move in a fourth direction (e.g., -z direction) within the second guide space (313) by the third connecting member (451) connected to the first movable member (411). For example, as the second pin (453) slides in the fourth direction (e.g., -z direction) with respect to the second guide space (313), the fourth connecting member (452) connected to the second pin (453) can rotate with respect to the second pin (453). By the rotation of the fourth connecting member (452), the second moving member (412) connected to the fourth connecting member (452) can move in the second direction (e.g., -x direction). As the second moving member (412) moves in the second direction (e.g., -x direction), the second lens support (232) coupled to the second moving member (412) can move along the second direction (e.g., -x direction).

[0163] According to one embodiment, the angle between the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452) can be changed by movement of at least one of the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412). The angle between the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452) can be substantially the same as the angle between the first connecting member (441) and the second connecting member (442). For example, when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is the first distance (d1), the angle between the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452) can be the first angle (a1). For example, while the second pin (453) is in contact with one end (313a) of the second guide space (313), the angle between the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452) may be a first angle (a1). As the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412) move away from each other, the angle between the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452) may increase. For example, when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a second distance (d2), the angle between the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452) may be a second angle (a2) that is different from the first angle (a1). For example, while the second pin (453) is in contact with the other end (313b) of the second guide space (313), the angle between the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452) may be the second angle (a2). As the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412) move toward each other, the angle between the third connecting member (451) and the fourth connecting member (452) may decrease.

[0164] As described above, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can provide a structure capable of linking the movement of a plurality of moving members (410) by a first link structure (440) and a second link structure (450) that are arranged symmetrically to each other.

[0166] The guide module (400) of FIG. 10a, FIG. 10b, and FIG. 10c may be a guide module (400) in which the structures of the first link structure (440) and the second link structure (450) are changed from the guide module (400) of FIG. 8, so redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0167] Referring to FIGS. 10A, 10B, and 10C, the first link structure (440) and the second link structure (450) may be disposed between a plurality of moving members (410). For example, the first connecting member (441), the second connecting member (442), and the first pin (443) may be wrapped (or surrounded) by the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412). For example, the third connecting member (451), the fourth connecting member (452), and the second pin (453) may be wrapped (or surrounded) by the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412).

[0168] According to one embodiment, the first link structure (440) may be disposed (or laminated) on the second link structure (450). For example, the first connecting member (441), the second connecting member (442), and the first pin (443) may be disposed (or laminated) on the third connecting member (451), the fourth connecting member (452), and the second pin (453).

[0169] According to one embodiment, the first moving member (411) may include a first guide groove (411d) and a second guide groove (411e).

[0170] According to one embodiment, the first guide groove (411d) can accommodate a first connecting member (441).

The first connecting member (441) can be positioned outside the first guide groove (411d) when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a second distance (e.g., the second distance (d2) of FIG. 4A). For example, the first guide groove (411d) can be formed by a portion of the first moving member (411) being recessed inward.

For example, the second guide groove (411e) can be formed by a portion of the first moving member (411) being recessed inward. The second guide groove (411e) can form a step with respect to the first guide groove (411d). For example, the second guide groove (411e) may be spaced apart from the first guide groove (411d) along a third direction (e.g., +z direction). For example, the second guide groove (411e) may be spaced apart from the first guide groove (411d) along a direction in which the other surface (310b) of the first support member (310) faces (e.g., -y direction).

[0172] According to one embodiment, the second moving member (412) may include a third guide groove (412d) and a fourth guide groove (412e).

[0173] In one embodiment, the third guide groove (412d) can accommodate a second connecting member (442). For example, the second connecting member (442) can be accommodated (or positioned) within the third guide groove (412d) when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a first distance (d1). The second connecting member (442) can be positioned outside the third guide groove (412d) when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a second distance (d2). For example, the third guide groove (412d) can be formed by a portion of the second moving member (412) being recessed inward.

[0174] In one embodiment, the fourth guide groove (412e) can accommodate a fourth connecting member (452). For example, the fourth connecting member (452) can be accommodated (or positioned) within the fourth guide groove (412e) when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a first distance (d1). The fourth connecting member (452) can be positioned outside the fourth guide groove (412e) when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a second distance (d2). For example, the fourth guide groove (412e) can be formed by a portion of the second moving member (412) being recessed inward. The fourth guide groove (412e) can form a step with respect to the third guide groove (412d). For example, the fourth guide groove (412e) may be spaced apart from the third guide groove (412d) along a third direction (e.g., +z direction). For example, the fourth guide groove (412e) may be spaced apart from the third guide groove (412d) along a direction in which the other surface (310b) of the first support member (310) faces (e.g., -y direction).

[0175] According to one embodiment, the first guide space (312) may be disposed (or stacked) on a plurality of friction members (420). The first guide space (312) may be disposed on a guide portion (314) of the first support member (310). The guide portion (314) may be disposed (or stacked) on a plurality of friction members (420). The guide portion (314) may be disposed between a plurality of moving members (410). For example, the guide portion (314) may be surrounded (or wrapped) by a plurality of moving members (410). The first guide space (312) may be formed by a portion of the guide portion (314) being recessed inward.

[0176] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 4A) may further include a second support member (330).

[0177] In one embodiment, the second support member (330) may be disposed (or laminated) on the first support member (310). For example, the second support member (330) may be fastened to the first support member (310). For example, the second support member (330) may overlap the first support member (310). For example, the second support member (330) may be referred to as one of the first housing (e.g., the first housing (210) of FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C) and the second bracket (e.g., the second bracket (272) of FIG. 3B). In one embodiment, the second support member (330) may include a third guide space (331). The third guide space (331) may penetrate the second support member (330). The third guide space (331) can accommodate a second pin (453). The second pin (453) can be accommodated within the third guide space (331). For example, the second pin (453) can be inserted within the third guide space (331). For example, the second pin (453) can be movable with respect to the third guide space (331).

[0178] For example, the second pin (453) can move relative to the third guide space (331) by movement of at least one of the first moving member (411) and the second moving member (412). Movement of the first link structure (440) and the second link structure (450) can be explained through FIGS. 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d.

[0179] FIG. 11a is a plan view of an exemplary resistor module when the distance between the first lens and the second lens is the first distance, FIG. 11b is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of the exemplary resistor module cut along line D-D' of FIG. 11a, FIG. 11c is a plan view of an exemplary resistor module when the distance between the first lens and the second lens is the second distance, and FIG. 11d is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of the exemplary resistor module cut along line E-E' of FIG. 11c.

[0180] Referring to FIGS. 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d, according to one embodiment, one end (331a) of the third guide space (331) and the other end (331b) of the third guide space (331) may be spaced apart from each other. The other end (331b) of the third guide space (331) may be opposite to the one end (331a) of the third guide space (331). For example, the other end (331b) of the third guide space (331) may be spaced apart from the one end (331a) of the third guide space (331) in a third direction (e.g., +z direction).

[0181] According to one embodiment, the third guide space (331) may be disposed (or stacked) on the first guide space (312). The third guide space (331) may overlap the first guide space (312). For example, the third guide space (331) may be completely covered by the first guide space (312), but is not limited thereto. For example, one end (312a) of the first guide space (312) may overlap the other end (331b) of the third guide space (331). For example, the other end (312b) of the first guide space (312) may overlap the one end (331a) of the third guide space (331).

[0182] In one embodiment, as the first pin (443) is movable relative to the first support member (310), the movements of the first lens support member (231) and the second lens support member (232) can be linked. As the first pin (443) is movable relative to the first support member (310), the movements of the first movable member (411) and the second movable member (412) can be linked. For example, while the first movable member (411) moves in a first direction (e.g., +x direction), the first pin (443) can move in a fourth direction (e.g., -z direction) within the first guide space (312) by the first connecting member (441) connected to the first movable member (411). For example, as the first pin (443) slides in the fourth direction (e.g., -z direction) with respect to the guide portion (314), the second connecting member (442) connected to the first pin (443) can rotate with respect to the first pin (443). By the rotation of the second connecting member (442), the second moving member (412) connected to the second connecting member (442) can move in the second direction (e.g., -x direction). As the second moving member (412) moves in the second direction (e.g., -x direction), the second lens support (232) coupled to the second moving member (412) can move along the second direction (e.g., -x direction).

[0183] According to one embodiment, the second pin (453) may be positioned (or accommodated) at one end (331a) of the third guide space (331) when the distance between the first lens (e.g., the first lens (231a) of FIG. 4A) and the second lens (e.g., the second lens (232a) of FIG. 4A) is a first distance (e.g., the first distance (d1) of FIG. 4A). The second pin (453) may be positioned at the other end (331b) of the third guide space (331) when the distance between the first lens (231a) and the second lens (232a) is a second distance (e.g., the second distance (d2) of FIG. 4A). For example, while the first movable member (411) moves in a first direction (e.g., +x direction), the second pin (453) can move in a third direction (e.g., +z direction) within the third guide space (331) by the third connecting member (451) connected to the first movable member (411). For example, as the second pin (453) slides in the third direction (e.g., +z direction) with respect to the third guide space (331), the fourth connecting member (452) connected to the second pin (453) can rotate with respect to the second pin (453). By the rotation of the fourth connecting member (452), the second movable member (412) connected to the fourth connecting member (452) can move in the second direction (e.g., -x direction). As the second movable member (412) moves in the second direction (e.g., -x direction), the second lens support (232) coupled to the second movable member (412) can move along the second direction (e.g., -x direction).

[0184] As described above, the guide module (400) according to one embodiment can provide a structure capable of linking the movement of a plurality of moving members (410) by a first link structure (440) and a second link structure (450) arranged between a plurality of moving members (410).

If the components are moved by the structure, and at least some of the components do not provide resistance, the user may not be able to move each of the components reliably. An electronic device may require a structure that provides resistance to the movement of components while saving space within the device.
