Actuator, camera module and camera mounting device
An actuator is disclosed having a sensor substrate, a coil substrate and an FPC. The sensor substrate includes an image sensor on a front surface thereof. The coil substrate includes a coil for driving the image sensor and is provided with a first through hole. The FPC includes a main body portion and a coupling portion extending from a periphery of the main body portion and is coupled to an outside element. The main body portion is provided with a second through hole. The sensor substrate is fixed to the main body portion from a rear side, the coil substrate is fixed to the main body portion from a front side, and the image sensor is exposed to a front surface through the first through hole and the second through hole.
1. An actuator, comprising:
a sensor substrate with an image sensor with light incident thereon from a front side, the image sensor being provided on a front surface of the front side of the sensor substrate;
a coil substrate comprising a coil for driving the image sensor, the coil substrate being provided with a first through hole; and
a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) comprising a main body portion including a driver integrated circuits (IC) having a position sensor built therein and a coupling portion extending from a periphery of the main body portion and coupled to outside, the main body portion being provided with a second through hole and a front side,
wherein the sensor substrate and the driver IC are is-fixed to a same surface of a rear side opposite to the front side of the main body portion from the rear side of the main body portion, the coil substrate is fixed to a surface of the front side of the main body portion from the front side of the main body portion, and the image sensor is exposed to the front side of the main body portion through the first through hole and the second through hole;
the driver IC is provided at a position opposing to the coil, and the sensor substrate has a notch corresponding to the position of the driver IC, wherein the position sensor is exposed to the front side of the main body and the rear side.
2. The actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the position sensor is provided at a position opposing to the coil on the main body portion on the same side as the sensor substrate.
3. The actuator according to claim 2 , wherein the position sensor is exposed to the rear side through the notch.
4. The actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the coil substrate is electrically connected to the FPC from a rear side of the FPC.
