Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lens driving device is provided, including: a holder member; a first driving unit disposed at the holder member; a base disposed at a lower side of the holder member and spaced apart from the holder member; a first circuit board disposed at an upper surface of the base; a second circuit board including a second driving unit facing the first driving unit, and disposed at an upper surface of the first circuit board; a support member supporting the holder member with respect to the base; and a guide portion protruded from an upper surface of the base, wherein the guide portion supports the second circuit board. In an embodiment, a coil at the second circuit board and a magnet at the holder member may be assembled at a predetermined interval, such that reliability of the product with respect to performance of handshake compensation device can be enhanced.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A lens driving device, comprising: a holder member; a first driving unit disposed at the holder member; a base disposed at a lower side of the holder member and spaced apart from the holder member; a first circuit board disposed at an upper surface of the base; a second circuit board including a second driving unit facing the first driving unit, and disposed at an upper surface of the first circuit board; a support member supporting the holder member with respect to the base; and a guide portion protruded from an upper surface of the base, wherein the guide portion supports the second circuit board. 2 . The lens driving device of claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the guide portion contacts a lower surface of the second circuit board. 3 . The lens driving device of claim 1 , wherein the base includes an opening penetrating through an inside of the base in a vertical direction, and the guide portion includes a first guide portion contacting an inner circumferential surface forming the opening of the base and a second guide portion contacting an outer circumferential surface of the base. 4 . The lens driving device of claim 3 , wherein the first guide portion includes a plurality of guide protrusions, and the plurality of guide portions are arranged along the inner circumferential surface of the base by being spaced apart from each other. 5 . The lens driving device of claim 4 , wherein the first circuit board includes a first guide groove through which the first guide portion penetrates. 6 . The lens driving device of claim 3 , wherein the second guide portion is extended along an outer circumferential surface of the base. 7 . The lens driving device of claim 6 , wherein the first circuit board is not overlapped with the second guide portion in a vertical direction. 8 . The lens driving device of claim 1 , wherein the first circuit board includes a first connecting portion, and the second circuit board includes a second connecting portion arranged at a position corresponding to that of the first connecting portion and conductively connected with the first connecting portion. 9 . The lens driving device of claim 8 , wherein the support member is conductively connected with at least one of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. 10 . The lens driving device of claim 8 , wherein the base includes a grooved portion formed by being recessed downward from an upper surface, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are connected to each other by soldering, and the first circuit board is fixed by being adhered to an epoxy disposed at the grooved portion. 11 . The lens driving device of claim 1 , further comprising: a bobbin disposed at an inside of the holder member; a third driving unit disposed at the bobbin, and facing the first driving unit; an upper elastic member coupled to an upper portion of the holder member and an upper portion of the bobbin; and a lower elastic member coupled to a lower portion of the holder member and a lower portion of the bobbin. 12 . The lens driving device of claim 11 , further comprising: a sensing magnet disposed at a lateral surface of the bobbin; a correction magnet disposed at another lateral surface of the bobbin, and establishing magnetic force equilibrium with the sensing magnet; and a position detection sensor disposed at the holder member, and configured to detect the sensing magnet. 13 . The lens driving device of claim 11 , wherein the first driving unit includes a magnet, the second driving unit includes a fine pattern coil, and the third driving unit includes a coil. 14 . A camera module, comprising: a holder member; a first driving unit disposed at the holder member; a base disposed at a lower side of the holder member by being spaced apart from the holder member; a first circuit board disposed at an upper surface of the base; a second circuit board including a second driving unit facing the first driving unit, and disposed at an upper surface of the first circuit board; a support member supporting the holder member with respect to the base; and a guide portion protruded from an upper surface of the base, wherein the guide portion supports the second circuit board. 15 . An optical apparatus, comprising: a holder member; a first driving unit disposed at the holder member; a base disposed at a lower side of the holder member by being spaced apart from the holder member; a first circuit board disposed at an upper surface of the base; a second circuit board including a second driving unit facing the first driving unit, and disposed at an upper surface of the first circuit board; a support member supporting the holder member with respect to the base; and a guide portion protruded from an upper surface of the base, wherein the guide portion supports the second circuit board.
