Abstract

Claims (66)

1 . A camera module comprising:

a first body comprising a lens;

a second body coupled to the first body;

a first substrate to a third substrate disposed between the first body and the second body; and

a first support member and a second support member configured to space the first to third substrates in an optical axis direction,

wherein the first support member comprises a hole formed in a sidewall thereof,

wherein the second support member comprises a protrusion part inserted into the hole of the first support member,

wherein the second support member comprises an inclined part extended from the side wall and formed in an outward direction, and

wherein the inclined part of the second support member is caught by a boss that is protruded from the first body.

2 . The camera module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first support member comprises a first hook extended from the side wall and contacting one surface of the first substrate, and a second hook extended from the side wall and contacting one surface of the second substrate.

3 . The camera module according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first hook is extended upward from the side wall and is bent inward to form a downwardly inclined surface, and after bending from an end of the downwardly inclined surface toward an inner surface of the side wall, a surface parallel to the side wall is formed.

4 . The camera module according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second hook is extended downward from the side wall and is bent inward to form an upwardly inclined surface, and

wherein one end of the second hook comprises a surface parallel to the second surface and is in contact with the second substrate.

5 . The camera module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second support member comprises a third hook extended from the side wall and contacting one surface of the third substrate.

6 . The camera module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first support member comprises a connection part connecting two adjacent side walls, and

wherein a groove that is inwardly recessed is formed at a connection of the side wall and the connection part.

7 . The camera module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second support member comprises a connection part connecting two adjacent side walls,

wherein at least one of the side walls comprises a first locking part that is bent inward and in contact with one surface of the second substrate, and a second locking part that is bent inward and in contact with one surface of the third substrate, and

wherein at least one connection part comprises a third locking part that is bent inward and in contact with the other surface of the second substrate.

8 . The camera module according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least one among the first to third substrates comprises a concave part being inwardly recessed on a side surface, and

wherein at least one of the first support member and the second support member contacts the concave part to inhibit the substrate from being separated.

9 . A camera module comprising:

a first body on which a lens is disposed;

a second body coupled to the first body;

a plurality of substrates disposed between the first body and the second body; and

a first support member and a second support member separating the plurality of substrates in an optical axis direction,

wherein a hook part that presses one side of each substrate in a curved shape toward the inside of the substrate is comprised at one end of each of the first support member and the second support member,

wherein the second support member comprises an inclined part extended from the side wall and formed in an outward direction, and

wherein the inclined part of the second support member is caught by a boss that is protruded from the first body.

10 . The camera module according to claim 9 ,

wherein a hole is formed in the sidewall of the first support member, and

wherein the sidewall of the second support member comprises a protrusion part inserted into the hole of the first support member.

11 . The camera module according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first support member comprises a connection part connecting two adjacent side walls, and

wherein a groove that is inwardly recessed is formed at a connection of the side wall and the connection part.

12 . The camera module according to claim 9 ,

wherein the plurality of the substrates comprises a first substrate to a third substrate, and

comprising an image sensor disposed on an upper surface of the first substrate.

13 . The camera module according to claim 12 ,

wherein at least one among the first to third substrates comprises a concave part inwardly recessed on a side surface, and

wherein at least one of the first support member and the second support member contacts the concave part to inhibit the substrate from being separated.

14 . A camera module comprising:

a first body on which a lens is disposed;

a second body coupled to the first body;

a plurality of substrates disposed between the first body and the second body; and

a first support member and a second support member that separate the plurality of substrates in an optical axis direction,

wherein at least one among the plurality of substrates comprises a concave part inwardly recessed on a side surface,

wherein at least one of the first support member and the second support member is in contact with the concave part of the substrate to inhibit the substrate from being separated,

wherein the second support member comprises an inclined part extended from the side wall and formed in an outward direction, and

wherein the inclined part of the second support member is caught by a boss that is protruded from the first body.

15 . The camera module according to claim 14 ,

wherein the first support member comprises a connection part connecting two adjacent side walls, and

wherein a groove that is inwardly recessed is formed at a connection of the side wall and the connection part.

16 . The camera module according to claim 14 ,

wherein the second support member comprises an inclined part extended from the side wall and formed in an outward direction, and

wherein the inclined part of the second support member is caught by a boss that is protruded from the first body.

17 . The camera module according to claim 14 ,

wherein the plurality of the substrates comprises a first substrate to a third substrate, and

comprising an image sensor disposed on an upper surface of the first substrate.
