Lens actuator
There is provided a lens actuator, including: a lens barrel in which at least one lens is provided on an optical axis; a magnetic part provided on one surface of the lens barrel; and a printed circuit board in which a coil pattern part generating electromagnetic force is provided, the printed circuit board having one surface facing the magnetic part, wherein magnetic material is provided on the other surface of the printed circuit board.
1. A lens actuator, comprising:
a lens barrel in which a lens is provided on an optical axis;
a housing accommodating the lens barrel therein;
a magnetic part moved, relative to the housing, in an optical axis direction together with the lens barrel;
a printed circuit board coupled to the housing, and the printed circuit board comprising a coil pattern part to generate an electromagnetic force, wherein the coil pattern part faces the magnetic part; and
a position sensor, embedded in the printed circuit board, to sense a position of the lens barrel,
wherein a magnetic material is provided on a surface of the printed circuit board other than a surface of the printed circuit board on which the coil pattern part is formed.
2. The lens actuator of claim 1 , wherein the coil pattern part comprises a metal layer patterned on the printed circuit board.
3. The lens actuator of claim 1 , wherein the coil pattern part comprises a winding coil embedded in the printed circuit board.
4. The lens actuator of claim 1 , wherein the printed circuit board has an integrated circuit component mounted therein or thereon.
5. The lens actuator of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic material comprises a magnetic paste.
