  • Patent number: 11940716
    Abstract: A camera module includes: a first lens module disposed in a housing; and a reflective module. The reflective module includes: a reflective member including at least two reflective surfaces disposed at different angles and configured to reflect light passing through the first lens module; and a carrier disposed between the reflective member and the housing. The cameral module further includes an image sensor configured to collect light reflected from the reflective module. The reflective member is configured to move in a first direction with respect to the carrier, and the carrier is configured to move in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction with respect to the housing.

  • Patent number: 11681157
    Abstract: A camera module includes a lens module, a first frame accommodating the lens module, a second frame accommodating the first frame, and a housing accommodating the second frame. The lens module and the first frame are rotatable about a first axis, with respect to the second frame, perpendicular to an optical axis. The lens module, the first frame, and the second frame are rotatable about a second axis, with respect to the housing, perpendicular to both the optical axis and the first axis. A first ball member is disposed between the first frame and the second frame and elastically supported in a direction of the first axis, and a second ball member is disposed between the second frame and the housing and elastically supported in a direction of the second axis.

  • Patent number: 10395110
    Abstract: An iris scanning camera module includes a housing having an internal space, and a first lens module and a second lens module inside the internal space. The first lens module and the second lens module have optical axes parallel to each other. An image sensor is configured to convert light passing through the first lens module and the second lens module into an image. The image sensor is divided into a region including a color pixel array and as another region including a black-and-white pixel array. The color pixel array is aligned in an optical axis direction of the first lens module, and the black-and-white pixel array is aligned in an optical axis direction of the second lens module.

  • Publication number: 20180160017
    Abstract: A camera module includes lens modules; and image sensors corresponding to lens modules, wherein f-numbers of the lens modules corresponding to numerical values indicating amounts of light passing through the lens modules, respectively, are different from each other, and an image sensor corresponding to a lens module having a relatively greater f-number is a color (RGB) sensor and an image sensor corresponding to a lens module having a relatively smaller f-number is a black and white (BW) sensor.
