Abstract: A camera module includes an upper housing coupled to a lower housing to form an inner space, a lens module provided in the inner space and including a heating element, and a substrate configured to supply power to the heating element, wherein the lens module includes an inner barrel comprising one or more lenses, an outer barrel which is coupled to a portion of the inner barrel in an optical axis direction, and a holder in which the outer barrel is fixed, wherein the substrate is fixed to a portion of the holder, wherein the heating element is disposed between the inner barrel and the outer barrel, and is connected to the substrate by a power connection line, and wherein the power connection line is connected to the substrate through a coupling hole in the holder.

Abstract: A camera module includes a lens module including a lens barrel and a holder to hold the lens barrel, a heater to seal the lens module and including a first cutting portion having a D-shape, and a ring-shaped electrode portion including a second cutting portion having a D-shape and a third cutting portion having a D-shape. The electrode portion is coupled to two surfaces of the heater that are perpendicular to an optical axis direction to align the first cutting portion with the second cutting portion and the third cutting portion.

Abstract: A camera module includes a first lens barrel including a first lens, a second lens barrel including a second lens that is aligned with the first lens in an optical axis direction, and a stop module disposed between the first lens barrel and the second lens barrel. The stop module includes blades configured to form one or more incidence holes having various sizes. The stop module includes a magnet portion including a driving magnet opposing a driving coil, and the magnet portion moves back and forth rectilinearly.
