Abstract
Provided is a camera module which includes a cover, a base connected with the cover, and a lens carrier provided between the cover and the base, the camera module including: an OIS body provided inside the cover; a first ball bearing interposed between the cover and the OIS body; an AF driver provided between the OIS body and the lens carrier; and an OIS driver for moving the OIS body in perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens carrier. Since the first ball bearing is supported while being in direct contact with an inner ceiling of the cover and an upper surface of the OIS body, the overall module thickness may be formed to be thinner than a structure in which the ball bearing is provided below the OIS body.
