Abstract

A lens driving module is provided which includes a movable portion, a base, a housing, a plastic substrate, and a 3D circuit. The base is adjacent to the movable portion, and the housing is connected to the base and surrounds the movable portion. The plastic substrate is disposed between the housing and the movable portion. At least a portion of the 3D circuit is disposed on the plastic substrate and is configured to transmit the signals or power for the operation of the lens driving module. The 3D circuit has an inner connecting portion and an outer connecting portion positioned on different planes and arranged to be parallel to each other.

Claims (18)

1. A lens driving module, comprising:

a movable portion configured to support a lens;

a base positioned adjacent to the movable portion and arranged along an optical axis of the lens;

a housing connected to the base and surrounding the movable portion;

an electromagnetic driving assembly positioned in a space defined by the base and the housing and configured to drive movement of the movable portion relative to the base;

a plastic substrate positioned between the movable portion and the housing;

a positioning sensor positioned on the plastic substrate and configured to detect the movement of the movable portion, wherein the plastic substrate has a recess for receiving the positioning sensor, a depth of the recess is greater than a height of the positioning sensor; and

a 3-D circuit comprising:

an inner connecting portion electrically connected to the positioning sensor; and

an outer connecting portion electrically connected the inner connecting portion, wherein the inner connecting portion is parallel to the outer connecting portion, and the inner connecting portion and the outer connecting portion are located on different planes.

2. The lens driving module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner connecting portion is patterned on a surface of the plastic substrate by Molded Interconnect Device techniques.

3. The lens driving module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plastic substrate and the housing are formed integrally.

4. The lens driving module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a ground circuit positioned on the plastic substrate and electrically connected to the housing, wherein a connecting point of the ground circuit and the housing is located within the lens driving module and are not exposed to outside.

5. The lens driving module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lens driving module has a substantially rectangular shape, wherein the 3-D circuit is positioned on a lateral surface of the lens driving module and is positioned at a substantial center of the lateral surface.

6. The lens driving module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of 3-D circuits and a ground circuit, wherein the ground circuit is arranged at a middle position of the 3-D circuits and is connected to an external ground line.

7. The lens driving module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outer connecting portion and the inner connecting portion are respectively positioned on the plastic substrate and the base.

8. The lens driving module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the outer connecting portion is patterned on a surface of the base by Molded Interconnect Device techniques.

9. The lens driving module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lens driving module has a substantially rectangular shape, and the positioning sensor is positioned at a corner of the lens driving module.
