Camera module
Exemplary embodiments of a camera module are proposed, the camera module being such that a terminal formed at a holder is inserted into a through hole or a groove of a substrate in a case the substrate and the holder are coupled, to allow the terminal and the holder to be electrically connected.
1. A camera module, the camera module comprising:
a lens barrel including at least one lens;
an actuator moving the lens barrel;
a terminal electrically connected to the actuator;
a holder supporting the actuator;
a substrate mounted with an image sensor and coupled with the holder at a coupling area with a through hole or a groove;
a yoke coupled to the holder, and covering the actuator; and
an EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shield can covering the substrate,
wherein the terminal is protrusively disposed at the coupling area and is electrically connected to the substrate by being inserted into the through hole or the groove to apply a power to the actuator,
wherein the terminal is spaced from the yoke,
wherein the EMI shield can covers at least a portion of the holder, and
wherein a height of the EMI shield can is higher than a height from a bottom surface of the EMI shield can to an upper surface of the holder exposed on the camera module.
2. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the image sensor is mounted on an upper surface of the substrate.
3. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the image sensor is mounted at a bottom surface of the substrate.
4. The camera module of claim 3 , wherein the image sensor is flip chip bonded to the bottom surface of the substrate.
5. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the actuator is one of a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) actuator, an actuator driven by a piezoelectric force and a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) actuator driven by electrostatic capacity method.
6. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is inserted into the through hole or the groove formed on the substrate to be electrically connected in a case the holder is attached to the substrate.
7. The camera module of claim 6 , further comprising a conductive material disposed at an area where the terminal protruded from the holder is electrically connected to the through hole or the groove formed on the substrate.
8. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is electrically connected to a FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board) capable of being connected to an outside device.
9. The camera module of claim 8 , wherein the FPCB is bonded to a bottom surface of the substrate.
10. The camera module of claim 8 , further comprising an EMI shield can capable of covering the substrate and the FPCB.
11. The camera module of claim 10 , wherein the EMI shield can includes an insulation material at a surface corresponding to the FPCB.
12. The camera module of claim 10 wherein the EMI shield can includes an insulation material at a lateral surface corresponding to a surface of the FPCB.
13. The camera module of claim 10 , wherein the EMI shield can includes an insulation material at a lateral surface and a surface corresponding to a surface of the FPCB.
14. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is not exposed outside the holder.
