  • Patent number: 10215951
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a camera module, and the present invention comprises: a lens unit; a lens barrel for fixing the lens unit; a substrate unit, which has an image sensor mounted thereon, for converting light incident through the lens unit into an electric signal; and a housing accommodating the substrate unit in an inner space thereof and of which one side is coupled to the lens barrel, and the present invention can comprise: a transmission coil accommodated inside the housing so as to form an electric field, and a conductive heating element arranged on an outer surface of the lens unit or on an outer circumferential surface of the lens barrel, and in which an induced current is generated by the electric field formed by the transmission coil. Since the present invention heats a lens by wirelessly supplying power to a heating element through simple configurations such as a transmission coil and the heating element, large changes are unnecessary in the volume and the structure of a camera module.

  • Patent number: 8482023
    Abstract: Disclosed are a leadframe having heat sink supporting parts, a light emitting diode package in which the leadframe is employed, and a fabricating method of a light emitting diode package using the leadframe. The leadframe includes an outer frame surrounding a predetermined region. The heat sink supporting parts extend inward to face each other from the outer frame. Each of the supporting parts has an end portion coupled to a heat sink. Further, lead terminals extend inward to face each other from the outer frame. The lead terminals are spaced apart from the supporting parts. Accordingly, a package main body can be formed by an insert molding technique after the heat sink is coupled to the end portions of the supporting parts, and the heat sink and the lead terminals can be easily aligned.
