A camera module is disclosed herein, including a housing, a lens unit arranged in the housing and including at least one lens, a first driving unit arranged adjacent to a first surface inside the housing and configured to move the at least one lens in a direction along an optical axis, and a second driving unit arranged adjacent to the first surface inside the housing to move the lens unit in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, where the first driving unit forms a first magnetic field oriented in a first direction, and wherein the second driving unit forms a second magnetic field oriented in a second direction intersecting the first direction at a pre specified angle.

Camera module including plural driving units having different magnetic field directions

A camera module includes a lens unit including one or more lenses, wherein at least some of the one or more lenses are movable along a path corresponding to optical axes of the one or more lenses, and a driving unit to move the at least some lenses along the path. The driving unit includes a magnet physically connected with the at least some lenses, a coil to form a magnetic field such that the magnet moves along the path, and a magnetic substance disposed on one surface of the coil opposite to another surface of the coil, which is adjacent to the magnet. The magnetic substance adapts the at least some lenses, which are physically connected with the magnet, to a specified position of the path by using magnetic force between the magnet and the magnetic substance, which is formed as the coil approaches the magnet.
