Abstract

An apparatus for driving an optical-reflector includes a support frame having a groove line formed therein, an optical-reflector installed at the support frame to change a path of light input through an opening so that the light is put into a lens, a base frame having a guiding groove formed with a shape corresponding to the groove line, and a plurality of balls disposed between the groove line and the guiding groove so that the support frame and the base frame are kept in a spaced state, and a driving unit configured to move the support frame along a path corresponding to the groove line or the guiding groove.

Claims (15)

1. An apparatus for driving an optical-reflector, comprising:

a lens;

a support frame having a groove line formed therein, wherein the groove line has a round shape and is independently disposed in front of the lens with respect to an optical axis;

an optical-reflector installed at the support frame to change a path of light input through an opening so that the light is put into the lens;

a base frame having a guiding groove formed with a shape corresponding to the groove line;

a plurality of balls disposed between the groove line and the guiding groove so that the support frame and the base frame are kept in a spaced state; and

a driving unit configured to rotate the support frame along a path corresponding to the groove line or the guiding groove, wherein the driving unit includes:

an OIS magnet provided at a side of the support frame at which the optical-reflector is not provided; wherein the groove line is respectively formed at both sides of the OIS magnet; and

a coil disposed at the base frame, to generate an electromagnetic force to the OIS magnet.

2. The apparatus for driving an optical-reflector of claim 1 , wherein the groove line and the guiding groove have curvatures corresponding to each other.

3. The apparatus for driving an optical-reflector of claim 1 , further comprising:

a yoke configured to generate an attractive force to the OIS magnet.

4. The apparatus for driving an optical-reflector of claim 1 , further comprising:

a sensing magnet provided at a location spaced apart from the OIS magnet in a direction from the OIS magnet toward the zoom lens; and

a hall sensor provided at a location corresponding to the sensing magnet.
