Abstract: An optical device includes a lens assembly that performs a forward/backward movement in an optical axis direction. The optical device also includes at least one first driving device that generates a first driving force that causes the lens assembly to perform the forward/backward movement in the optical axis direction. The optical device further includes at least one second driving device that generates a second driving force in a direction that is opposite to the moving direction of the lens assembly. The second driving force may be formed to be equal to or smaller than the first driving force so that the reciprocating amplitude of the lens assembly may be reduced when the lens assembly reciprocates before and after the focusing position. The optical device as described above may be variously implemented according to embodiments.

Abstract: A small camera apparatus includes a base, a lens barrel, a lens driving assembly, and a first flexible printed circuit board. The lens barrel is disposed to be spaced apart from the image sensor in an optical axis direction and has at least one lens. The lens driving assembly has a supporting frame, a first moving frame supported on the supporting frame to be movable in the optical axis direction, and a second moving frame loaded with the lens barrel and supported on the first moving frame to be movable in directions perpendicular to the optical axis direction. The first flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) provides an electrical signal, for driving the second moving frame, to the first moving frame. At least a portion of the first FPCB is bent and is disposed between the base and the first moving frame. At least a portion of the bent portion is bonded to reduce a bending tension that occurs in a direction opposite to a bending direction when the first FPCB is bent.
