Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of a camera module are proposed, the camera module including a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounted with an image sensor, a base installed at an upper surface of the PCB and formed with a window at a position corresponding to that of the image sensor, an IRCF (Infrared Cut Filter) installed at an upper surface of the base, and an adhesive member fixing the IRCF to the base.

Claims (16)

1. A camera module, the camera module comprising:

a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounted with an image sensor;

a base disposed at an upper surface of the PCB and formed with a window at a position corresponding to that of the image sensor;

a yoke disposed at an upper surface of the base;

a bobbin liftably disposed at the upper surface of the base, the bobbin moving in response to interaction with a magnet mounted on the yoke;

an IRCF (Infrared Cut Filter) disposed at an upper surface of the base; and

an adhesive agent fixing the IRCF to the base,

wherein the adhesive agent includes:

an adhesive section adhering the IRCF to the base, and

a foreign object collection section free from contact with the IRCF, the foreign object collection section being configured to collect foreign objects generated by moving of the bobbin,

wherein the adhesive agent is disposed on a concave groove of the base so formed as to have a depth corresponding to a thickness of the adhesive agent, and

wherein an upper surface of the adhesive agent forms a flat plane with at least a portion of an upper surface of the base.

2. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive agent is attached to a surface of a periphery of the window opposite to the IRCF.

3. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive agent is arranged to be spaced apart from the periphery of the window at predetermined distance, and having a predetermined width.

4. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the IRCF is formed to have an area greater than that of the window, and the adhesive agent is attached to a surface of a periphery of the window opposite to the IRCF to have an area greater than a contact area between the IRCF and the base.

5. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive agent is provided in any one of a double-sided tape and an epoxy to be fixedly arranged on an upper surface of the base.
