Abstract

A camera module is provided. The camera module includes a number of camera assembles. Each of the camera assembles includes a lens unit and an electromagnetic driving unit. The electromagnetic driving unit includes at least one magnetic element for controlling the movement of the corresponding lens unit. The distance between two of the magnetic elements, which are closest to each other and respectively positioned in two of the camera assemblies, is greater than the distance between two of the light through holes, to which the two of the camera assemblies are arranged to correspond.

Claims (9)

1. A camera module for supporting a plurality of optical members, comprising:

a housing, comprising a first light guiding hole and a second light guiding hole;

a first optical member driving assembly, comprising a first electromagnetic driving unit used to drive a first optical member to move relative to the housing; and

a second optical member driving assembly, comprising a second electromagnetic driving unit used to drive a second optical member to move relative to the housing;

wherein the first electromagnetic driving unit comprises a first magnetic element disposed on a side of the first optical member driving assembly adjacent to second optical member driving assembly, and the second electromagnetic driving unit comprises a second magnetic element, wherein a distance D 2 between the center of the first magnetic element and the center of the second magnetic element is greater than a distance D 1 between the center of the first light guiding hole and the center of the second light guiding hole.

2. The camera module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the camera module further comprises a first optical sensor corresponding to the first optical member driving assembly, and a second optical sensor corresponding to the second optical member driving assembly, wherein the first optical sensor and the second optical sensor are disposed on different planes.

3. The camera module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first electromagnetic driving unit is used to drive the first optical member to move along a first direction, and the first and second optical member driving assemblies are arranged along the first direction.

4. The camera module as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the first light guiding hole, the first optical member driving assembly, and the first optical sensor are arranged along a second direction, wherein the second direction is parallel to an optical axis of the first optical member driving assembly.

5. The camera module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the camera module further comprises a light guiding assembly corresponding to the second light guiding hole, the light guiding assembly comprises a third optical member and a third electromagnetic driving unit for driving the third optical member to rotate around a third direction, and the light entering from the second light guiding hole is reflected to the second optical member driving assembly by the third optical member.
