Description

An electronic device comprising a camera device positioned around a magnetic body

[0001] Various embodiments disclosed in this document relate to an electronic device including a camera device disposed around a magnetic body.

[0002] As the amount of information displayed visually increases and electronic devices support more functions, users are increasingly demanding larger displays. New types of electronic devices are also being developed to provide large displays while maintaining a portable size.

[0003] Advances in display technology have made foldable displays possible. Electronic devices utilizing these displays, whose display area can be adjusted by folding, are also being released.

[0004] The above information may be provided as background art to aid in understanding the present disclosure. No claim or determination is made as to whether any of the above is applicable as prior art related to the present disclosure.

[0005] A foldable electronic device can be configured to fold or unfold by having two housings joined together via a hinge mechanism. Magnets may be positioned within each housing to maintain the foldable electronic device in a fully folded state. The magnets within each housing may be positioned with opposite polarities when the electronic device is folded, thereby creating an attractive force between the magnets. Accordingly, the foldable electronic device can maintain its folded state through the magnets. The more closely the magnets within each housing are positioned relative to each other, the greater the attractive force between the magnets.

[0006] Various electronic components may be positioned within an electronic device. In one embodiment, the electronic components may be positioned adjacent to magnets positioned within the housing. For example, a camera device may be positioned adjacent to magnets within the housing.

[0007] Electronic devices may need to adjust the focus of a subject to obtain a clear image through a camera device or compensate for shake (e.g., camera shake) that may occur when taking a picture of a subject. The camera device may include an AF actuator used for an AF (auto focus) function that automatically adjusts the focus of a lens on a subject, and an optical image stabilizer (OIS) actuator used for an OIS function that compensates for shake of an image. The AF actuator may include an AF magnet and an AF coil. The AF actuator may adjust the focus of the lens by moving the lens assembly of the camera device in the direction of the optical axis through an electromagnetic force acting between the AF magnet and the AF coil. The OIS actuator may include an OIS magnet and an OIS coil. The OIS actuator may compensate for shake of an image by moving the lens assembly of the camera device in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis through an electromagnetic force acting between the OIS magnet and the OIS coil.

[0008] Meanwhile, the magnetic force of magnets placed adjacent to the camera device may affect the AF magnet, AF coil, OIS magnet, and / or OIS coil of the AF actuator, thereby degrading the performance of the camera device. For example, magnets placed adjacent to the camera device may increase the error rate of the AF function and / or OIS function of the camera device, thereby degrading the performance of the camera device.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a structure can be proposed that improves the phenomenon of performance of a camera device being degraded by magnets placed adjacent to the camera device.

[0010] The technical tasks to be achieved in this document are not limited to the technical tasks mentioned above, and other technical tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those with ordinary skill in the technical field to which this document pertains from the description below.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device may include a first housing, a second housing rotatably connected to the first housing about a folding axis, and a first camera device disposed in the first housing. In one embodiment, the electronic device may include a first magnet disposed in the first housing spaced apart from the first camera device, and a second magnet disposed in the second housing and facing at least a portion of the first magnet when the electronic device is folded. In one embodiment, the first camera device may include a lens assembly, an AF actuator at least a portion of which faces the first magnet and moves the lens assembly in an optical axis direction, a first shielding member disposed between the first magnet and the AF actuator to cover at least a portion of the AF actuator, a first OIS actuator that moves the lens assembly in a first axis direction perpendicular to the optical axis, and a second OIS actuator that moves the lens assembly in a second axis direction perpendicular to the first axis.

[0012] In one embodiment, the electronic device may include a first housing, a second housing rotatably connected to the first housing about a folding axis, and a first camera device disposed in the first housing. In one embodiment, the electronic device may include a first magnet disposed spaced apart from the first camera device in the first housing, and a second magnet disposed in the second housing, the second magnet at least partially facing the first magnet when the electronic device is folded. The first camera device may include a camera housing including a lens assembly, a first portion that accommodates the lens assembly and at least a portion of which faces the first magnet, a second portion that is an opposite surface of the first portion, a third portion that faces a side member of the first housing, and a fourth portion that is an opposite surface of the third portion. In one embodiment, the first camera device may include an AF actuator configured to move the lens assembly in an optical axis direction and located in one of the second part, the third part, and the fourth part of the camera housing, a first shielding member arranged to cover at least a portion of the AF actuator, a first OIS actuator configured to move the lens assembly in a first axial direction perpendicular to the optical axis and located in the remaining one of the second part, the third part, and the fourth part of the camera housing, and a second OIS actuator configured to move the lens assembly in a second axial direction perpendicular to the first axis and located in the other remaining one of the second part, the fourth part, and the fourth part of the camera housing.

[0013] According to one embodiment disclosed in this document, a structure can be proposed that improves the phenomenon of performance degradation of a camera device due to magnets arranged adjacent to the camera device. For example, the camera device can be arranged in a housing such that an AF actuator, which has a shielding member arranged to shield the surrounding magnetic force, faces the magnets arranged in the housing. Alternatively, the camera device can be arranged in a housing such that a side of the housing where the AF actuator and the OIS actuator are not arranged faces the magnets arranged in the housing.

The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module (190) may include a wireless communication module (192) (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0090] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 5A through 5D , the first magnet (M1), the third magnet (M3), and / or the fifth magnet (M5) may be positioned at an edge of the first housing (210) so as to be adjacent to the first side member (213) of the first housing (210). For example, the first magnet (M1), the third magnet (M3), and / or the fifth magnet (M5) may be positioned at an edge of the first housing (210). The second magnet (M2), the fourth magnet (M4), and / or the sixth magnet (M6) may be positioned at an edge of the second housing (220) so as to be adjacent to the second side member (223) of the second housing (120). For example, the second magnet (M2), the fourth magnet (M4), and / or the sixth magnet (M6) may be positioned at an edge of the second housing (220).

[0091] In one embodiment, the magnets (M1, M3, M5) disposed in the first housing (210) and the magnets (M2, M4, M6) disposed in the second housing (220) may be formed in various shapes. Referring to FIGS. 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D in one embodiment, the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6) facing each other when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state may be formed in different shapes. In an embodiment not shown in the drawings, a plurality of magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6) may be formed in the same shape.

[0092] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 5A, 5C, and 5D, a first camera device (310) and a second camera device (410) may be arranged side by side in the first housing (210) along the X-axis of FIG. 5D. In one embodiment, the first camera device (310) may be positioned in a first direction (e.g., a - X direction in FIG. 5D) with respect to the first magnet (M1). The second camera device (410) may be arranged between the first camera device (310) and the first magnet (M1). For example, the second camera device (410) may be positioned in a second direction (e.g., a + X direction in FIG. 5D) opposite to the first direction with respect to the first camera device (310). In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 5c, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the first magnet (M1) and the third magnet (M3) disposed in the first housing (210) and the second magnet (M2) and the fourth magnet (M4) disposed in the second housing (220) may be positioned in a second direction (e.g., + X direction with respect to FIG. 6a) with respect to the first camera device (310).

[0093] In one embodiment, the second camera device (410) may be disposed between the magnets (M1, M3) and the first camera device (310) in the first housing (210). In one embodiment, the first camera device (310) may be a camera device including an auto focus (AF) function that automatically adjusts the focus of a lens on a subject and an optical image stabilizer (OIS) function (hereinafter, referred to as an OIS function) that compensates for shaking of an image. In one embodiment, the AF actuator (340) of the first camera device (310) may include an AF magnet (341) (e.g., the AF magnet (341) of FIG. 6B) and an AF coil (342) (e.g., the AF coil (342) of FIG. 6B) that form an electromagnetic force to move the first lens assembly (330) of the first camera device (310) substantially in the optical axis direction (e.g., the Z-axis direction of FIG. 5A). In one embodiment, the first camera device (310) may perform an OIS function through a first OIS actuator (350) and a second OIS actuator (360). In one embodiment, the first OIS actuator (350) may include a first OIS coil (352) (e.g., the first OIS coil (352) of FIG. 6B) and a first OIS magnet (351) (e.g., the first OIS magnet (351) of FIG. 6B) that form an electromagnetic force to cause the first lens assembly (330) of the first camera device (310) to move in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis (e.g., the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction of FIG. 5A). Additionally, in one embodiment, the second OIS actuator (360) may include a second OIS coil (362) (e.g., the second OIS coil (362) of FIG. 6B) and a second OIS magnet (361) (e.g., the second OIS magnet (361) of FIG. 6B) that generate an electromagnetic force to cause the first lens assembly (330) of the first camera device (310) to move in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis (e.g., the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction of FIG. 5A).

[0094] In one embodiment, the second camera device (410) may not include an AF function and / or an OIS function. Accordingly, the second camera device (410) may not include a magnetic body used for the AF function (e.g., an AF magnet (341), an AF coil (342)) and a magnetic body used for the OIS function (e.g., a first OIS magnet (351), a first OIS coil (352), a second OIS magnet (361), a second OIS coil (362)).

[0095] In one embodiment, the magnetic force formed by magnets (e.g., M1, M2, M3, M4) positioned adjacent to the first camera device (310) may affect the AF magnet (341), the AF coil (342), the first OIS magnet (351), the first OIS coil (352), the second OIS magnet (361), and / or the second OIS coil (362), thereby deteriorating the performance of the first camera device (310). For example, when the electronic device (200) is in an unfolded state, the magnetic force formed by the first magnet (M1), the third magnet (M3) positioned adjacent to the first camera device (310) and when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the magnetic force formed by the first magnet (M1), the second magnet (M2), the third magnet (M3) and the fourth magnet (M4) positioned adjacent to the first camera device (310) may affect the AF magnet (341), the AF coil (342), the first OIS magnet (351), the first OIS coil (352), the second OIS magnet (361) and / or the second OIS coil (362), thereby increasing the error rate of the AF function and / or the OIS function of the first camera device (310) and deteriorating the performance of the first camera device (310). For example, the error rate of movement in the direction of the optical axis for lens focus adjustment of the first lens assembly (330) may increase, or the error rate of movement in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the first lens assembly (330) for image shake correction (e.g., the first axis, the second axis) may increase.

[0096] The first camera device (310) described above may include the error rate of the AF actuator (340), the error rate of the first OIS actuator (350), the error rate of the second OIS actuator (360), and the EM force of the AF actuator (340), the EM force of the first OIS actuator (350), and the EM force of the second OIS actuator (360) described in [Table 2], [Table 3], and [Table 4] described below.

[0097] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a structure can be proposed that improves the phenomenon of performance degradation of the first camera device (310) due to magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6) arranged adjacent to the first camera device (310). This will be described in detail below.

[0098] FIG. 6A is a drawing illustrating a positional relationship among magnets disposed in a first housing (210), a first camera device (310) disposed in the first housing (210), a second camera device (410) disposed in the first housing (210), and electronic components disposed in the second housing (220) in a folded state of an electronic device (200) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6B is a drawing illustrating a positional relationship among an AF actuator (340), a first OIS actuator (350), and a second OIS actuator (360) disposed in the first camera device (310) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0099] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, a first camera device (310) (e.g., the second camera device (208) of FIG. 2C and / or the camera assembly (263) of FIG. 4) may be disposed in the first housing (210). In one embodiment, a second camera device (410) (e.g., the second camera device (208) of FIG. 2C and / or the camera assembly (263) of FIG. 4) may be disposed between the first magnet (M1) and the first camera device (310). In one embodiment, the second camera device (410) may be disposed parallel to the first camera device (310) with respect to the folding axis (F). For example, the first camera device (310) may be disposed in a first direction (e.g., the -X direction of FIG. 6A) with respect to the second camera device (410). In other words, the second camera device (410) may be positioned in a second direction (e.g., the + X direction in FIG. 6a) opposite to the first direction with respect to the first camera device (310).

[0100] However, the positional relationship between the first camera device (310) and the second camera device (410) can be modified in various ways. Referring to FIGS. 8A to 8D described below, the first camera device (310) can be positioned in a third direction (e.g., the -Y direction of FIG. 8A) perpendicular to the first direction with respect to the second camera device (410).

[0101] In one embodiment, the first camera device (310) may include a first lens assembly (330), a first camera housing (320), an AF actuator (340), a first OIS actuator (350), and a second OIS actuator (360). At least one of the above-described components may be omitted or at least one component may be added.

[0102] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 6A, the first lens assembly (330) may include at least one lens. In one embodiment, the first lens assembly (330) may be a lens barrel in which at least one lens is assembled. In one embodiment, light incident through the lens of the first lens assembly (330) may be transmitted to the image sensor of the first camera device (310). In one embodiment, the first lens assembly (330) may be disposed in the first camera housing (320). In one embodiment, the first camera housing (320) may form a portion of the exterior of the first camera device (310).

[0103] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 6A, the second camera device (410) may include a second lens assembly (430) and a second camera housing (420). At least one of the above-described components may be omitted or at least one component may be added.

[0104] In one embodiment, the second lens assembly (430) may include at least one lens. In one embodiment, the second lens assembly (430) may be a lens barrel having at least one lens assembled therein. In one embodiment, light incident through the lens of the second lens assembly (430) may be transmitted to the image sensor of the second camera device (410). In one embodiment, the second lens assembly (430) may be disposed in a second camera housing (420). In one embodiment, the second camera housing (420) may form a portion of the exterior of the second camera device (410).

[0105] According to one embodiment, the first camera device (310) may perform an AF function to automatically adjust the focus of the lens on a subject by controlling the AF actuator (340) through the processor (120) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) to move the first lens assembly (330) substantially in the direction of the optical axis (e.g., the Z-axis of FIG. 5A). In one embodiment, the AF actuator (340) may include an AF coil (342) and an AF magnet (341). In one embodiment, the first lens assembly (330) may move in the direction of the optical axis through an electromagnetic force acting between the AF coil (342) and the AF magnet (341) to adjust the focus of the lens on the subject.

[0106] In one embodiment, the electronic device (200) can compensate for image shake by moving the first lens assembly (330) in the opposite direction to the direction in which the first camera device (310) shakes. In one embodiment, the first camera device (310) can perform an optical image stabilizer function by controlling the first OIS actuator (350) via the processor (120) to move the first lens assembly (330) in a first axis direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis (e.g., the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction with reference to FIG. 6B) to compensate for image shake. In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 6B, the first OIS actuator (350) can include a first OIS coil (352) and a first OIS magnet (351). In one embodiment, the first lens assembly (330) can move in a first axis direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis (e.g., the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction based on FIG. 6B) through an electromagnetic force acting between the first OIS coil (352) and the first OIS magnet (351) to compensate for image shake.

[0107] In one embodiment, the first camera device (310) may perform an optical image stabilizer function to correct image shake by controlling the second OIS actuator (360) via the processor (120) to move the first lens assembly (330) in a second axis direction perpendicular to the optical axis (e.g., the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction with reference to FIG. 6B). In one embodiment, the second axis direction may be a direction substantially perpendicular to the first axis direction. In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 6B, the second OIS actuator (360) may include a second OIS coil (362) and a second OIS magnet (361). In one embodiment, the second lens assembly (430) can move in a second axis direction (e.g., the Y-axis direction or the X-axis direction based on FIG. 6B) substantially perpendicular to the optical axis and the first axis through an electromagnetic force acting between the second OIS coil (362) and the second OIS magnet (361) to compensate for image shake.

[0108] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 6B, at least a portion of the AF actuator (340) may be disposed in the first camera housing (320). For example, at least one of the AF magnet (341) and the AF coil (342) may be disposed in the first camera housing (320). In one embodiment, the first OIS actuator (350) may be spaced apart from the AF actuator (340) in a first direction (e.g., in the -X direction with respect to FIG. 6A) and at least a portion of the first camera housing (320). For example, at least one of the first OIS magnet (351) and the first OIS coil (352) may be disposed in the first camera housing (320). In one embodiment, the second OIS actuator (360) may be spaced apart from the AF actuator (340) in a first direction (e.g., in the -X direction with reference to FIG. 6A) and at least a portion of the second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in the first camera housing (320). For example, at least one of the second OIS magnet (361) and the second OIS coil (362) may be disposed in the first camera housing (320).

[0109] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 6A and 6B, the first camera housing (320) may be formed of at least four surfaces (or portions). For example, the first camera housing (320) may include a first portion (321), a second portion (322), a third portion (323), and a fourth portion (324). In one embodiment, the first portion (321) may be a portion of the first camera housing (320) that faces the +X direction with respect to FIG. 6A and may be a portion that faces at least a portion of the first magnet (M1) and / or the third magnet (M3). In one embodiment, the second portion (322) may be a portion that faces the first portion (321) and may be a portion that faces the -X direction with respect to FIG. 6A. The third portion (323) may be a portion of the first camera housing (320) facing the -Y direction with respect to FIG. 6A, and at least a portion thereof may face the first side member (213) of the first housing (210). The fourth portion (324) may be a portion facing the third portion (323) and facing the +Y direction with respect to FIG. 6A.

[0110] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 6A, the AF actuator (340) may be positioned in the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320). In one embodiment, the first OIS actuator (350) may be positioned in the second portion (322) of the first camera housing (320) to face the AF actuator (340). In one embodiment, the second OIS actuator (360) may be positioned in the third portion (323) to be positioned between the AF actuator (340) and the first OIS actuator (350). For example, the first OIS actuator (350) may be positioned perpendicular to the second OIS actuator (360). In one embodiment, the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320) may not have an actuator including a separate magnet and / or coil disposed therein. In one embodiment, the first side member (213) of the first housing (210) may be connected to a communication module (e.g., the communication module (190) of FIG. 1) of a substrate (e.g., the first substrate (261)) to be used as an antenna. In one embodiment, the magnetic bodies (e.g., the AF magnet (341), the AF coil (342), the first OIS coil (352), the first OIS magnet (351), the second OIS coil (362), and the second OIS magnet (361)) constituting the actuators (340, 350, 360) may be spaced apart from the first side member (213). For example, the first camera device (310) may not have the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) disposed in the fourth part (324) of the first camera housing (320). In this case, compared to a case where any one of the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) is disposed in the fourth part (324) of the first camera housing (320), the influence of the communication signal transmitted to the first side member (213) due to the antenna radiation of the first side member (213) on the AF function and the OIS function of the first camera device (310) may be reduced.Accordingly, malfunction of the first camera device (310) can be reduced.

[0111] In one embodiment, the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) of the first camera device (310) are not limited to the positions illustrated in FIG. 6A and may be positioned at various positions relative to the first camera housing (320). In one embodiment, the AF actuator (340) may be positioned in the first part (321) of the first camera housing (320), the first OIS actuator (350) may be positioned in the second part (322), and the second OIS actuator (360) may be positioned in the fourth part (324) of the first camera housing (320).

[0112] In one embodiment, with the AF actuator (340) positioned in the first part (321) of the first camera housing (320), the first OIS actuator (350) may be positioned in a fourth direction (e.g., +Y direction with respect to FIG. 6A) with respect to the first lens assembly (330), and the second OIS actuator (360) may be positioned in a third direction (e.g., -Y direction with respect to FIG. 6A) opposite to the fourth direction with respect to the first lens assembly (330). For example, the first OIS actuator (350) may be positioned in the fourth direction with respect to the first lens assembly (330) with at least a portion positioned in the third part (323) of the first camera housing (320). The second OIS actuator (360) may be positioned at least partially in the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320) and may be positioned in a third direction with respect to the first lens assembly (330).

[0113] Although the above description assumes that the first camera housing (320) has a structure with four sides, it may not be limited thereto. In one embodiment, the first camera housing (320) may have a polygonal structure, a circular structure, or a hexahedral structure. However, for the convenience of explanation, the following description assumes that the first camera housing (320) is a hexahedron with four side faces and an upper and lower surface.

[0114] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (200) may include a first shielding member (370). In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 6A, the first shielding member (e.g., a yoke) (370) may be positioned between the first camera device (310) and the second camera device (410). In one embodiment, at least a portion of the first shielding member (370) may be disposed in the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320). In one embodiment, when the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320) is viewed in the -X direction of FIG. 6B, the first shielding member (370) may be in a state of covering the AF magnet (341) and the AF coil (342). In other words, the first shielding member (370) may be in a state of overlapping the AF magnet (341) and the AF coil (342). In one embodiment, a first shielding member (370) may be positioned between a second camera device (410) and a first camera device (310).

[0115] In one embodiment, the first shielding member (370) can block or reduce electromagnetic waves or external magnetic fields generated from the outside of the first camera device (310) to reduce malfunction of the first camera device (310). In one embodiment, the first shielding member (370) can be formed of a material such as iron (Fe), ferrite, nano crystal, or stainless steel. In one embodiment, the first shielding member (370) can be a steel plate cold commercial (SPCC). Therefore, the first shielding member (370) can shield the influence of the magnetic field formed by the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) on the AF coil (342) and the AF magnet (341) of the AF actuator (340). In addition, the first shielding member (370) can shield the influence of the magnetic field formed by the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) on the first OIS coil (352) and the first OIS magnet (351) of the first OIS actuator (350). In addition, the first shielding member (370) can shield the influence of the magnetic field formed by the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) on the second OIS coil (362) and the second OIS magnet (361) of the second OIS actuator (360).

[0116] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first camera device (310) may be arranged so that the AF actuator (340) is adjacent to magnets (e.g., the first magnet (M1), the second magnet (M2), the third magnet (M3), and the fourth magnet (M4)) that provide fixing force when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state. For example, the AF actuator (340) may be arranged in the first part (321) of the first camera housing (320) facing the first magnet (M1) and the third magnet (M3). Accordingly, the first shielding member (370) may be arranged in the first camera device (310) so as to face the first magnet (M1) and the third magnet (M3). The first shielding member (370) may be arranged so that the magnetic forces of the first magnet (M1) and the third magnet (M3) are applied to the AF of the first camera device (310) when the electronic device (200) is in an unfolded state. The first shielding member (370) can reduce the influence on the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) of the first camera device (310) of the magnetic force of the first magnet (M1), the second magnet (M2), the third magnet (M3), and the fourth magnet (M4) when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state. Accordingly, the first camera device (310) can prevent malfunction of the AF actuator (340) and malfunction of the first OIS actuator (350) due to magnets by positioning the AF actuator (340) in the first part (321) of the first camera housing (320). The malfunction and malfunction phenomenon of the second OIS actuator (360) can be improved or reduced to reduce the performance degradation of the first camera device (310).Here, the performance of the first camera device (310) may be the error rate of the AF actuator (340), the error rate of the first OIS actuator (350), the error rate of the second OIS actuator (360), and the EM force of the AF actuator (340), the EM force of the first OIS actuator (350), and the EM force of the second OIS actuator (360) as shown in [Table 2], [Table 3], and [Table 4], which will be described later. Therefore, the reduction in the performance degradation of the first camera device (310) may be a reduction in the error rate and a reduction in the EM force.

[0117] FIGS. 7A and 7B are drawings of an embodiment of the present disclosure in which the AF actuator is positioned in the camera housing so that it does not face the first magnet when the electronic device is folded.

[0118] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 7A and 7B , the first camera device (310) may not have the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) disposed at a portion facing the first magnet (M1) and / or the third magnet (M3). In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B , the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320) may be disposed at the first magnet (M1) and / or the third magnet (M3). The AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) may not be disposed at the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320). In one embodiment, the AF actuator (340) may be disposed in any one of the second part (322), the third part (323), and the fourth part (324) of the first camera housing (320). The first OIS actuator (350) may be disposed in a part of the second part (322), the third part (323), and the fourth part (324) of the first camera housing (320) where the AF actuator (340) is not disposed. The second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in a part of the second part (322), the third part (323), and the fourth part (324) of the first camera housing (320) where the AF actuator (340) and the first OIS actuator (350) are not disposed.

[0119] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 7A, the AF actuator (340) may be disposed in the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320), the first OIS actuator (350) may be disposed in the second portion (322) of the first camera housing (320), and the second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in the third portion (323) of the first camera housing (320). When the AF actuator (340) is disposed in the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320), the first shielding member (370) may also be disposed in the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320), thereby reducing the influence of the antenna signal of the first side member (213) on the performance of the first camera device (310).

[0120] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 7B, the AF actuator (340) may be disposed in the third portion (323) of the first camera housing (320), the first OIS actuator (350) may be disposed in the second portion (322) of the first camera housing (320), and the second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320). In addition, the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in various positions other than the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320). For example, the AF actuator (340) may be disposed in the second part (322) of the first camera housing (320), and the first OIS actuator (350) and the second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in the third part (323) and the fourth part (324), respectively. Accordingly, the actuators (340, 350, 360) of the first camera device (310) may be spaced apart from the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) compared to when they are disposed in the first part (321) of the first camera housing (320). Accordingly, the influence of the magnetic field formed by the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) is reduced, so that malfunctions of the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) can be reduced.

[0121] For convenience of explanation, the following description assumes that the AF actuator (340) is arranged in the first part (321) of the first camera housing (320). However, the following description can be equally applied to an embodiment in which the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) are not arranged in the first part (321) of the first camera housing (320).

[0122] In one embodiment, the first OIS actuator (350) may include a first OIS magnet detection sensor (353). The first OIS magnet detection sensor (353) may include at least one driving IC (not shown). In one embodiment, the first OIS magnet detection sensor (353) may detect an amount of movement of the first lens assembly (330) in the first axis direction (e.g., the X-axis in FIG. 6B) by detecting an amount of movement of the first lens assembly (330) in the first axis direction through the first OIS actuator (350). In one embodiment, the first OIS magnet detection sensor (353) may detect an amount of movement of the first lens assembly (330) in the second axis direction when the first lens assembly (330) moves in the second axis direction (e.g., the Y-axis in FIG. 6B) through the first OIS actuator (350).

[0123] In one embodiment, the second OIS actuator (360) may include a second OIS magnet detection sensor (363). The second OIS magnet detection sensor (363) may include at least one driving IC (not shown). In one embodiment, the second OIS magnet detection sensor (363) may detect an amount of movement of the second lens assembly (430) in the second axis direction (e.g., the Y axis in FIG. 6B) through the second OIS actuator (360) to detect an amount of movement of the second lens assembly (430) in the second axis direction. In one embodiment, the second OIS magnet detection sensor (363) may detect an amount of movement of the first lens assembly (330) in the first axis direction when the second lens assembly (430) moves in the first axis direction (e.g., the X axis in FIG. 6B) through the second OIS actuator (360).

[0124] FIGS. 8A and 8B are diagrams of an embodiment of the present disclosure in which the AF actuator is positioned in the camera housing so as to face the first magnet when the electronic device is folded. FIGS. 8C and 8D are diagrams of an embodiment of the present disclosure in which the AF actuator is positioned in the camera housing so as not to face the first magnet when the electronic device is hinged.

[0125] According to one embodiment, the arrangement relationship of the first camera device (310) and the second camera device (410) illustrated in FIGS. 8A to 8D may be different from the arrangement relationship of the first camera device (310) and the second camera device (410) illustrated in FIGS. 6A to 7B described above.

[0126] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 8A to 8D , the first camera device (310) and the second camera device (410) may be arranged side by side in the Y-axis of FIG. 8A in the first housing (210). In one embodiment, the first camera device (310) may be arranged in a third direction (e.g., the -Y direction of FIG. 8A) with respect to the first magnet (M1). The second camera device (410) may be arranged between the first camera device (310) and the first magnet (M1). For example, the second camera device (410) may be arranged in a fourth direction (e.g., the +Y direction of FIG. 8A) opposite to the third direction with respect to the first camera device (310).

[0127] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 8A, the AF actuator (340) may be positioned in the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320). In one embodiment, the first OIS actuator (350) may be positioned in the second portion (322) of the first camera housing (320) to face the AF actuator (340). In one embodiment, the second OIS actuator (360) may be positioned in the third portion (323) to be positioned between the AF actuator (340) and the first OIS actuator (350). For example, the first OIS actuator (350) may be positioned perpendicular to the second OIS actuator (360). In one embodiment, the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320) may not have an actuator including a separate magnet and / or coil disposed therein.

[0128] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 8B, the AF actuator (340) may be disposed in the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320). The first OIS actuator (350) may be disposed in the second portion (322) of the first camera housing (320). The second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320). In one embodiment, the third portion (323) of the first camera housing (320) may not have an actuator including a separate magnet and / or coil disposed therein. In addition, while the AF actuator (340) is placed in the first part (321) of the first camera housing (320), the first OIS actuator (350) may be placed in the third part (323) of the first camera housing (320), and the second OIS actuator (360) may be placed in the fourth part (324) of the first camera housing (320).

[0129] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 8C and 8D , the first camera device (310) may not have the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) disposed on a portion facing the first magnet (M1) and / or the third magnet (M3). In one embodiment, when the first camera device (310) is disposed in the first housing (210), the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320) may face the first magnet (M1) and / or the third magnet (M3). In one embodiment, the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) may not be disposed on the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320). In one embodiment, the AF actuator (340) may be disposed in any one of the second portion (322), the third portion (323), and the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320). The first OIS actuator (350) may be disposed in a portion of the second portion (322), the third portion (323), and the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320) where the AF actuator (340) is not disposed. The second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in a portion of the second portion (322), the third portion (323), and the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320) where the AF actuator (340) and the first OIS actuator (350) are not disposed.

[0130] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 8C, the AF actuator (340) may be disposed in the third portion (323) of the first camera housing (320), the first OIS actuator (350) may be disposed in the second portion (322) of the first camera housing (320), and the second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320). When the AF actuator (340) is disposed in the third portion (324) of the first camera housing (320), the first shielding member (370) may also be disposed in the third portion (323) of the first camera housing (320).

[0131] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 8D, the AF actuator (340) may be disposed in the fourth portion (324) of the first camera housing (320), the first OIS actuator (350) may be disposed in the second portion (322) of the first camera housing (320), and the second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in the third portion (324) of the first camera housing (320). In addition, the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) may be disposed in various positions other than the first portion (321) of the first camera housing (320). Accordingly, the actuators (340, 350, 360) of the first camera device (310) can be spaced apart from the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) compared to when they are arranged in the first part (321) of the first camera housing (320). Accordingly, the influence of the magnetic field formed by the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) can be reduced, thereby reducing malfunctions of the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360).

[0132] FIGS. 9A and 9B are drawings illustrating magnets arranged in a first housing (210) and a second housing (220) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0133] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 9a and 9b, the first magnet (M1), the second magnet (M2), the third magnet (M3), and the fourth magnet (M4) can be formed in various shapes.

[0134] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 6A, 9A, and 9B, at least a portion of a first magnet (M1) disposed in the first housing (210) may face the AF actuator (340). At least a portion of a third magnet (M3) disposed in the first housing (210) may face the AF actuator (340) and the second OIS actuator (360). In one embodiment, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, at least a portion of a second magnet (M2) disposed in the second housing (220) may face the first magnet (M1). Additionally, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, at least a portion of a fourth magnet (M4) disposed in the second housing (220) may face the third magnet (M3). In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 6A, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the second magnet (M2) may be closer to the AF actuator (340) and the first OIS actuator (350) than the fourth magnet (M4). Accordingly, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the strength of the magnetic field exerted on the first camera device (310) may be higher at the second magnet (M2) than at the fourth magnet (M4).

[0135] In one embodiment, among the first magnet (M1), the second magnet (M2), the third magnet (M3), and the fourth magnet (M4), a magnet having a small influence on the performance (e.g., AF function, OIS function) of the first camera device (310) may be configured as a monopolar magnet including one N pole and one S pole. For example, among the first magnet (M1), the second magnet (M2), the third magnet (M3), and the fourth magnet (M4), a magnet facing the AF actuator (340) and relatively far from the first OIS actuator (350) and the second OIS actuator (360) may be configured as a monopolar magnet. For example, the first magnet (M1) facing the AF actuator (340) may be a monopolar magnet. Additionally, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the fourth magnet (M4) having a lower magnetic field strength than the second magnet (M2) on the first camera device (310) may be a single-pole magnet.

[0136] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 6A, 9A, and 9B, the third magnet (M3) disposed in the first housing (210) may have a greater magnetic field strength on the first camera device (310) than the first magnet (M1) as it faces the AF actuator (340) and the second OIS actuator (360). Accordingly, the third magnet (M3) may be formed as a multi-pole magnet composed of at least two N poles and at least two S poles. In one embodiment, the third magnet (M3) may be a magnet having a Halbach array. In one embodiment, the multi-pole magnet may have a smaller amount of magnetic flux emitted to the outside of the magnet than the single-pole magnet. Accordingly, a multi-pole magnet may have less influence on surrounding magnetic bodies (e.g., the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360)) than a single-pole magnet. Accordingly, by configuring the third magnet (M3) as a multi-pole magnet, which has a higher magnetic field strength on the first camera device (310) than the first magnet (M1), the influence of the magnetic field of the third magnet (M3) on the first camera device (310) can be reduced, thereby improving or reducing performance degradation of the first camera device (310).

[0137] Meanwhile, a single-pole magnet may have a greater amount of magnetic flux emitted outside the magnet than a multi-pole magnet. In this case, the attractive force between a single-pole magnet and a single-pole magnet (or a multi-pole magnet) may be greater than the attractive force between a multi-pole magnet and a multi-pole magnet. Therefore, the first magnet (M1) having a lower magnetic field strength than the third magnet (M3) on the first camera device (310) may be configured as a single-pole magnet. The first magnet (M1), which is a single-pole magnet, and the third magnet (M3), which is a multi-pole magnet, face each other when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, and a sufficient fixing force for maintaining the folded state of the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) can be secured through the first magnet (M1), which is a single-pole magnet.

[0138] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 6A, 9A, and 9B, the second magnet (M2) may be closer to the AF actuator (340) and the first OIS actuator (350) than the fourth magnet (M4). In this case, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the strength of the magnetic field exerted on the first camera device (310) may be higher at the second magnet (M2) than at the fourth magnet (M4). Accordingly, the second magnet (M2) may be formed as a multipolar magnet composed of at least two N poles and at least two S poles. In one embodiment, the second magnet (M2) may be a magnet having a Halbach magnet arrangement. Therefore, by configuring the second magnet (M2) with a multi-pole magnet that has a higher magnetic field strength than the fourth magnet (M4) on the first camera device (310), the influence of the magnetic field of the second magnet (M2) on the first camera device (310) can be reduced, thereby improving or reducing the performance degradation of the first camera device (310).

[0139] Meanwhile, since the fourth magnet (M4) is further away from the first camera device (310) than the second magnet (M2) when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the strength of the magnetic field exerted on the first camera device (310) may be lower than that of the second magnet (M2). Accordingly, the fourth magnet (M4), which has a lower strength of the magnetic field exerted on the first camera device (310) than that of the second magnet (M2), may be configured as a single-pole magnet. The fourth magnet (M4), which is a single-pole magnet, and the second magnet (M2), which is a multi-pole magnet, face each other when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, and a sufficient fixing force for maintaining the folded state of the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) can be secured through the fourth magnet (M4), which is a single-pole magnet.

[0140] In one embodiment, as shown in [Table 1] below, at least one of the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) adjacent to the camera devices (310, 410) may be formed as a multi-pole magnet. The magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) may be formed as either a single-pole magnet or a multi-pole magnet, taking into account the strength of the magnetic field exerted on the first camera device (310) due to their proximity to the first camera device (310) and the strength of the attractive force between the magnets facing each other when the electronic device (200) is folded. Case 1 below is an embodiment in which all of the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) are formed as multi-pole magnets. Case 2 is an embodiment in which three of the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) are formed as multi-pole magnets and the remaining one is formed as a single-pole magnet. Case 3 is an embodiment in which two of the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) are formed as multipolar magnets and the remaining two are formed as single-pole magnets. Case 4 is an embodiment in which three of the magnets (M1, M2, M3, M4) are formed as single-pole magnets and the remaining one is formed as a multipolar magnet. In the above, it is assumed that there are four magnets arranged adjacent to the camera devices (310, 410), but this may not be limited thereto, and the number of magnets adjacent to the camera devices (310, 410) may be configured to be four or more or four or less.

[0142] In one embodiment, referring to [Table 2] below, when the electronic device (200) is folded, the error rate of the AF function and OIS function of the first camera device (310) and the strength (Electromagnetic Force, EM force) required to drive the actuator of the first camera device (310) can be confirmed depending on which magnet among the first magnet (M1), the second magnet (M2), the third magnet (M3), and the fourth magnet (M4) is a single-pole magnet or a multi-pole magnet. The experiment of [Table 2] assumes that the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) have the positional relationship of FIG. 6a. In addition, in one embodiment, case 1 of [Table 2] assumes that the first magnet (M1) to the fourth magnet (M4) are unipolar magnets, case 2 assumes that the first magnet (M1) to the fourth magnet (M4) are multipolar magnets, case 3 assumes that the first magnet (M1) is a unipolar magnet, the second to fourth magnets (M4) are multipolar magnets, case 4 assumes that the third magnet (M3) is a unipolar magnet, the first magnet (M1), the second magnet (M2) and the fourth magnet (M4) are multipolar magnets, and case 5 assumes that the fourth magnet (M4) is a unipolar magnet, and the first to third magnets (M3) are multipolar magnets. In addition, AF of [Table 2] may mean an AF actuator (340), the first OIS may mean a first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS may mean a second OIS actuator (360).

[0144] In one embodiment, referring to [Table 2], in case 3 where only the first magnet (M1) is a unipolar magnet and case 5 where only the fourth magnet (M4) is a unipolar magnet, it can be confirmed that the error rates of the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) are low on average, and the EM force is low on average. In one embodiment, the EM force may be a force required to drive the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360). Therefore, as the EM force is lower, the power consumption required to drive the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) may be reduced. Therefore, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first magnet (M1) or the fourth magnet (M4) is a single-pole magnet, the error rate of the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) can be low, and the power consumption required to drive the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) can be low, as shown in the experimental results of [Table 2].

[0145] FIG. 10A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line P1-P1 of FIG. 5D according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 10B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line P2-P2 of FIG. 5D according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 10C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line P3-P3 of FIG. 5D according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 11A is a drawing of a state in which a second shielding member (510) is disposed between a first display (230) and a first camera device (310) in a folded state of an electronic device (200) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 11B is a drawing of a state in which a second shielding member (510) is disposed between a first display (230) and a second speaker module (520) in a folded state of an electronic device (200) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0146] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 10A, 10B, and 10C, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the first camera device (310) disposed in the first housing (210) may at least partially face an electronic component disposed in the second housing (220). In one embodiment, the electronic component disposed in the second housing (220) may be a second speaker module (520) (e.g., an audio output device (202)). However, the electronic component disposed in the second housing (220) and facing the first camera device (310) may be various electronic components other than the second speaker module (520). In the following description, it is assumed that the electronic component disposed in the second housing (220) and facing the first camera device (310) is the second speaker module (520).

[0147] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 10A, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the second speaker module (520) may be positioned in a first direction (e.g., in the -X direction with respect to FIG. 10A) with respect to the second magnet (M2) or the fourth magnet (M4) so ​​as to at least partially face the first camera device (310). When the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the second speaker module (520) may affect the performance of the first camera device (310) as it is in proximity to the first camera device (310). For example, when the first camera device (310) is in proximity to the second speaker module (520), which is a magnetic body, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the performance of the first camera device (310) may be degraded due to a magnetic field formed by the second speaker module (520).

[0148] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 11A and 11B , when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, a second shielding member (510) may be disposed between the second speaker module (520) and the first camera device (310). In one embodiment, the second shielding member (510) may block or reduce electromagnetic waves or magnetic fields generated from the second speaker module (520) from being transmitted to the first camera device (310), thereby reducing malfunction of the first camera device (310). In one embodiment, the second shielding member (510) may be formed of a magnetic material having a high permeability to shield the magnetic field. For example, the second shielding member (510) may be formed of a material such as iron (Fe), ferrite, nano crystal, or stainless steel. In one embodiment, the second shielding member (510) may be cold rolled steel plate (Steel plate cold commercial, SPCC).

[0149] According to one embodiment, the second shielding member (510) can be positioned at various locations to block or reduce electromagnetic waves or magnetic fields generated from the second speaker module (520) from being transmitted to the first camera device (310). In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 11A, the second shielding member (510) can be positioned between the first display (230) and the first camera device (310). For example, the second shielding member (510) can be positioned on the back surface of the first camera housing (320) of the first camera device (310) (e.g., the surface facing the -Z direction with respect to FIG. 11A), or can be positioned on a part of the first display (230) facing the first camera device (310). In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 11B, the second shielding member (510) can be positioned between the first display (230) and the second speaker module (520) in the second housing (220). For example, the second shielding member (510) may be placed in the speaker housing of the second speaker module (520) or may be placed in a portion of the first display (230) facing the second speaker module (520).

[0150] In one embodiment, referring to [Table 3] below, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, and the first magnet (M1) is a single-pole magnet, and the second magnet (M2), the third magnet (M3), and the fourth magnet (M4) are multi-pole magnets, the error rate of the AF function and the OIS function of the first camera device (310) and the strength (Electromagnetic Force, EM force) required to drive the actuator of the first camera device (310) can be confirmed depending on whether the second shielding member (510) is placed between the first camera device (310) and the second speaker module (520).

[0151] The experiment in [Table 3] assumes that the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) have the positional relationships of FIGS. 10a, 11a, and 11b. For example, case 1 assumes the positional relationships of the configurations illustrated in FIGS. 6a and 10a, case 2 assumes the positional relationships of the configuration illustrated in FIG. 11a, and case 3 assumes the positional relationships of the configuration illustrated in FIG. 11b. In addition, AF in [Table 3] may mean the AF actuator (340), the first OIS may mean the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS may mean the second OIS actuator (360).

[0153] In one embodiment, referring to [Table 3], as illustrated in FIG. 11b, when the second shielding member (510) is positioned on the upper surface of the second speaker module (520), it can be confirmed that the error rates of the AF actuator (340), the first OIS actuator (350), and the second OIS actuator (360) are lower than those of case 1 and case 2.

[0154] FIG. 12A is a drawing of a state in which a first camera device (310) and a second camera device (410) disposed in a first housing (210) and a second speaker module (520) disposed in a second housing (220) are at least partially facing each other in a folded state of an electronic device (200) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 12B is an exploded perspective view of the second speaker module (520) of FIG. 12A.

[0155] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 12A, when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state, the second speaker module (520) and the first camera device (310) may at least partially face each other. In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 12B, the second speaker module (520) may be stacked in the following order: first reinforcing plate (521) - first bracket (522) - speaker body (523) - second bracket (524) - second reinforcing plate (525). In one embodiment, since the speaker body (523) of the second speaker module (520) is made of a magnetic material, the performance of the first camera device (310) may be degraded when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state.

[0156] In one embodiment, a component adjacent to the speaker body (523) among the components of the second speaker module (520) can shield the magnetic force of the speaker body (523). For example, the first reinforcing plate (521) can be the second shielding member (510). In one embodiment, the first bracket (522) positioned between the speaker body (523) and the first camera device (310) can block or reduce the magnetic force of the speaker body (523) from being transmitted to the first camera device (310).

[0157] In one embodiment, [Table 4] below can confirm the error rate of the AF function and OIS function of the first camera device (310) and the strength (Electromagnetic Force, EM force) required to drive the actuator of the first camera device (310) according to whether the magnet among the first magnet (M1), the second magnet (M2), the third magnet (M3), and the fourth magnet (M4) is a single-pole magnet or a multi-pole magnet when the electronic device (200) is in a folded state and whether the first reinforcing plate of the second speaker module (520) is a second shielding member (510).
