  • Publication number: 20240098369
    Abstract: A circuit board and a camera module. A first board body of the circuit board can slide under the action of a drive force so as to drive a photosensitive chip to displace relative to a lens component to achieve optical anti-shake. An output pin of a second board body of the circuit board can be electrically connected to a motherboard of a mobile terminal, and the second board body is fixed on a base.
