Abstract: Provided is a lens driving module including a housing that has a lens barrel housing portion provided in the central portion thereof, the lens barrel housing portion having a bearing coupling portion and a guide coupling portion provided therein, and a through-hole formed in one corner thereof where the guide coupling portion is formed; a lens barrel that has a bearing contact portion and a guide portion formed on the outer circumferential surface thereof and is mounted in the lens barrel housing portion of the housing such that the bearing contact portion and the guide portion correspond to the bearing coupling portion and the guide coupling portion of the lens barrel housing portion, respectively; a piezoelectric motor that is mounted in the through-hole formed in one outer corner of the housing, which corresponds to the guide portion of the lens barrel, among the outer corners of the housing; a power connection member that is attached on the outer surface of the piezoelectric motor and of which only a pred

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lens driving device includes a lens receiving part with a lens disposed therein, having first and second extension parts formed at opposed sides in a predetermined interval from each other. The lens driving device also includes an actuator having a body between the first and second extension parts. The actuator body has first and second output members contacting the first and second extension parts of the lens receiving part at opposed ends thereof, and thereby expands, contracts and bends when power is applied. The lens driving device also includes a preload member compressing the first and second extension parts against the actuator body to maintain a status of pressed contact. The lens driving device further includes a guide part for guiding the movement of the lens receiving part in an optical axis direction.

Abstract: The present invention is to reduce a manufacturing cost and improve productivity by manufacturing a small module in comparison with a conventional module and simplifying a process. In order to achieve the object, the present invention provides a glass cap molding package including a substrate with an external connection terminal formed on a peripheral region of a top surface; an image sensor mounted on the top surface of the substrate; a transparent member installed on an upper part of the image sensor; and a molding unit formed to seal the image sensor and the transparent member and exposing the external connection terminal of the substrate to a lateral surface of the substrate, a manufacturing method thereof and a camera module including the same.

Abstract: The invention provides a lens transfer device including at least one lens and a lens barrel. The lens barrel has a lens receiving part with the lens arranged in an inner space thereof and an extension extending radially from an outer surface of the lens receiving part. An actuator has a body and an output member at a leading end of the actuator to contact the extension, and is adapted to expand/contract and bend in response to an external supply voltage to provide a driving force necessary for transfer of the lens barrel through the output member. A pressing member has a free end contacting a rear end of the actuator to force the actuator against the extension, and a guide guides the transfer of the lens barrel along an optical axis.
