Abstract: A camera module includes a housing accommodating a lens module; a driving unit including a magnet disposed on the lens module and a coil disposed to face the magnet; a yoke to generate attractive force with the magnet; a first ball member disposed between the lens module and the housing, and pressed by a first pressing force; and a second ball member disposed between the lens module and the housing, and pressed by a second pressing force. A direction of the first pressing force is different than a direction of the second pressing force, and a point of action of a resultant force of the first pressing force and the second pressing force is located closer to one of the first ball member and the second ball member than the other of the first ball member and the second ball member.

Abstract: There is provided a camera module including a plurality of ball bearings to support the driving of a lens barrel at the time of compensating for unintended camera movement due to disturbance such as hand shake. The lens barrel may be driven in first and second directions, independently, by one driving force exerted in the first direction perpendicular to an optical axis and by another driving force exerted in the second direction perpendicular to both the optical axis and the first direction, thereby preventing driving displacement from being generated at the time of compensating for unwanted motion such as hand shake while securing reliability against external impact, and having reduced power consumption at the time of compensating for the disturbance.
