Abstract

There are provided a reflecting module for optical image stabilization (OIS) and a camera module including the same. The reflecting module for OIS includes: a housing including an internal space; a movable holder supported in the internal space of the housing by an elastic member; a reflecting member disposed on the movable holder; and a driving part configured to provide driving force to the movable holder so that the movable holder is moved relative to the housing, wherein the elastic member includes a fixed frame fixed to the housing, a movable frame provided in the fixed frame, and a spring connecting the fixed frame and the movable frame to each other and, the movable frame is movable in relation to two axes perpendicular to each other.

Claims (26)

1. A reflecting module for optical image stabilization (OIS), comprising:

a housing comprising an internal space;

a movable holder supported in the internal space by an elastic member;

a reflecting member disposed on the movable holder; and

a driving part configured to provide driving force to the movable holder so that the movable holder moves relative to the housing,

wherein the elastic member includes a fixed frame fixed to the housing, a movable frame disposed in the fixed frame, and a spring connecting the fixed frame and the movable frame to each other, and wherein the movable frame is movable in relation to first and second axial directions perpendicular to each other, and

wherein the driving part comprises coils disposed on the housing and magnets disposed on the movable holder, and the magnets and the coils face each other in a direction perpendicular to a reflecting surface of the reflecting member.

2. The reflecting module for OIS of claim 1 , wherein the spring comprises a first spring extended in the first axial direction and a second spring extended in the second axial direction, and the first spring and the second spring are integral with each other.

3. The reflecting module for OIS of claim 2 , wherein the first spring comprises one or more springs extended in the first axial direction, and the second spring comprises one or more springs extended in the second axial direction.

4. The reflecting module for OIS of claim 2 , wherein the spring comprises a connection portion between the first spring and the second spring having a bent or angular shape.

5. The reflecting module for OIS of claim 1 , wherein upper and lower surfaces of the fixed frame and the spring are substantially coplanar with each other.

6. The reflecting module for OIS of claim 1 , wherein the reflecting member is disposed to be exposed within the movable frame.

7. The reflecting module for OIS of claim 1 , wherein the reflecting member is disposed to penetrate through and fit into the movable frame.

8. The reflecting module for OIS of claim 1 , wherein the movable holder is fixed to the movable frame.

9. A camera module comprising:

a lens module comprising lenses; and

a reflecting module for OIS disposed in front of the lens module and configured to change a path of light incident onto the reflecting module so that the light is directed toward the lens module;

wherein the reflecting module comprises,

a housing comprising an internal space;

a movable holder supported in the internal space by an elastic member;

a reflecting member disposed on the movable holder; and

a driving part configured to provide driving force to the movable holder so that the movable holder moves relative to the housing,

wherein the elastic member includes a fixed frame fixed to the housing, a movable frame disposed in the fixed frame, and a spring connecting the fixed frame and the movable frame to each other, and wherein the movable frame is movable in relation to first and second axial directions perpendicular to each other, and

wherein the driving part comprises coils disposed on the housing and magnets disposed on the movable holder, and the magnets and the coils face each other in a direction perpendicular to a reflecting surface of the reflecting member.

10. A camera module of claim 9 , wherein an optical axis of the lenses is generally perpendicular to a direction of the incident light to the camera module.

11. A portable electronic device comprising the camera module of claim 9 .
