  • Patent number: 11714294
    Abstract: Provided is a camera module which includes a cover, a base connected with the cover, and a lens carrier provided between the cover and the base, the camera module including: an OIS body provided inside the cover; a first ball bearing interposed between the cover and the OIS body; an AF driver provided between the OIS body and the lens carrier; and an OIS driver for moving the OIS body in perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens carrier. Since the first ball bearing is supported while being in direct contact with an inner ceiling of the cover and an upper surface of the OIS body, the overall module thickness may be formed to be thinner than a structure in which the ball bearing is provided below the OIS body.

  • Patent number: 11467260
    Abstract: A distance measuring apparatus has a substrate supporting, on a first surface thereof, a light source that emits light and a first optical element that decreases the intensity of the emitted light, and a processor on a second surface opposite the first surface. A light receiving element and a second optical element, which is at a higher position than the light receiving element, both receive the emitted light after reflecting from an object. A frame is connected to the substrate and spaces the first optical element and the second optical element a predetermined distance apart from the light source and the light receiving element, and a partition is disposed between the light source and the light receiving element, thereby defining a first cavity housing the light source and a second cavity housing the light receiving element. The processor is electrically connected to the light source and controls the light source.
