An electronic device includes a housing having a first face that faces a first direction and a second face that faces a second direction which is opposite the first face, in which the first face is formed to have an at least partially transparent portion and at least one opening formed adjacent to the at least partially transparent portion; a camera located within the housing and including an image sensor that faces the first direction through the at least partially transparent portion in the housing; an acoustic component structure including a space that is at least partially formed between the camera and the second face of the housing and connected to the at least one opening, and at least one vibrating structure that is located in the space and is movable in the first direction or the second direction to generate sound; a circuit that is located within the housing and is electrically connected to the acoustic component structure to provide a sound-associated signal to the acoustic component structure; and a processor located within the housing and electrically connected to the camera, the acoustic component structure, the circuit, and the display.

Electronic device including camera and acoustic component with limited interference therebetween

A camera lens assembly includes: a lens holder unit to which a lens module is mounted; a wire member fixed to the lens holder unit and the lens module, and resiliently supporting the lens module such that the lens module is driven in an optical axis direction; and a fixing member mounted to the lens holder unit to fix the wire member and dampen an impact generated in the wire member due to an impact generated in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. Also, a camera lens assembly can include: a wire module resiliently supporting a lens module such that the lens module is movable in an optical axis direction on a lens holder unit, dampening an impact generated in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and transferring a current applied to drive the lens module to a circuit board.

Camera lens assembly

A camera lens assembly is provided. The camera lens includes a movable Auto Focusing (AF) unit configured to move back and forth in a direction of an optical axis of an image sensor, and a movable Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) unit installed on the movable AF unit and configured to move back and forth in the direction of the optical axis together with the movable AF unit. The movable OIS unit floats in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis on the movable AF unit. The camera lens assembly simplifies the construction while implementing both the auto focus function and the optical image stabilization function. As a result, the camera lens assembly is advantageous for miniaturization and may improve reliability.

A camera lens module is provided, in which a lens housing has at least one lens, a main frame contains the lens housing along an optical axis, a support portion is engaged with the lens housing and with the main frame to be rotatable along the optical axis, a cover is engaged with the main frame, for keeping the lens housing contained in the main frame, and a control member is engaged with the cover, for moving the support portion along the optical axis.

Camera lens module

Provided is a method for focusing a camera lens assembly, the focusing method including assembling a lens and a camera device; measuring an actual distance between the lens and the camera device in an assembled position; inputting a difference of the actual distance from a focal length of the lens; and when power is applied to the camera lens assembly, adjusting a distance between the lens and the camera device according to the offset value, such that the distance between the lens and the camera device becomes equal to the focal length of the lens.
