Camera module
A camera module is disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the camera module includes a lens barrel, which supports a lens and in which the lens allows a ray of light to be incident at an imaging part, a driver, which moves the lens barrel along an optical axis, a body, which houses the lens barrel, and a buffering part, which is interposed between the lens barrel and the body when the lens barrel collides with the body.
1. A camera module comprising:
a lens barrel supporting a lens, the lens allowing a ray of light to be incident at an imaging part;
a driver configured to move the lens barrel along an optical axis;
a body housing the lens barrel; and
a buffering part interposed between the lens barrel and the body when the lens barrel collides with the body,
wherein the lens barrel further comprises a guide part protruded to guide a movement of the lens barrel, and
the buffering part is disposed on an end part of the guide part.
2. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the buffering part is made of an elastic body.
3. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the buffering part is formed by being coated or adhered to the lens barrel or the body.
4. The camera module of claim 2 , wherein the buffering part is made of a material comprising at least one of rubber, silicon and silicon rubber.
