Abstract

There is provided a camera module including: a lens barrel including at least one lens disposed on an optical axis; a housing having the lens barrel disposed therein; a circuit board disposed below the housing; and a shield-can coupled to the housing and enclosing an outer surface of the housing, wherein the circuit board is provided with a ground pad, and a contact surface of the shield-can contacting the ground pad is formed to have a convex-concave shape.

Claims (37)

1. A camera module, comprising:

a lens barrel including at least one lens disposed on an optical axis;

a housing having the lens barrel disposed therein;

a circuit board disposed below the housing; and

a shield-can coupled to the housing and enclosing an outer surface of the housing,

wherein the circuit board is provided with a ground pad, and

a contact surface of the shield-can contacting the ground pad is formed to have a convex-concave shape,

wherein the ground pad and the contact surface of the shield-can have a conductive bond provided therebetween, and

wherein a convex portion of the contact surface of the shield-can contacts the ground pad, and a concave portion of the contact surface of the shield-can contacts the conductive bond.

2. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the shield-can is coupled to the housing while a convex portion of the contact surface of the shield-can presses the ground pad.

3. A camera module, comprising:

a lens barrel including at least one lens disposed on an optical axis;

a housing having the lens barrel disposed therein;

a circuit board disposed below the housing; and

a shield-can coupled to the housing and enclosing an outer surface of the housing,

wherein the circuit board is provided with a ground pad, and

a contact surface of the shield-can contacting the ground pad is formed to have a convex-concave shape,

wherein the ground pad and the contact surface of the shield-can have a conductive bond provided therebetween, and

wherein a convex portion of the contact surface of the shield-can penetrates through the conductive bond and directly contacts the ground pad.

4. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein a convex portion of the contact surface of the shield-can has a pointed end.

5. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the circuit board is disposed below the housing so as to be protruded outwardly of the housing, and

the ground pad is disposed on a portion of the circuit board protruded outwardly of the housing.

6. The camera module of claim 5 , wherein an inner surface of the shield-can encloses the outer surface of the housing, and

a lower surface of the shield-can contacts the ground pad.

7. A camera module, comprising:

a lens barrel including at least one lens disposed on an optical axis;

a housing having the lens barrel disposed therein;

a circuit board disposed below the housing; and

a shield-can coupled to the housing and enclosing an outer surface of the housing,

wherein the circuit board is provided with a ground pad, and

a contact surface of the shield-can contacting the ground pad is provided with a protrusion protruded to the ground pad,

wherein the ground pad and the contact surface of the shield-can have a conductive bond provided therebetween, and

wherein the protrusion contacts the ground pad, and

a remaining portion of the contact surface of the shield-can except for the protrusion contacts the conductive bond.

8. The camera module of claim 7 , wherein the protrusion comprises a plurality of protrusions spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval.

9. The camera module of claim 7 , wherein the protrusion has a rounded end.

10. The camera module of claim 7 , wherein the protrusion has a triangular prism shape having a pointed end.
