Abstract
A camera module includes a housing having an inner space; a carrier, disposed in the inner space, configured to move relative to the housing in an optical axis direction; a lens module accommodated in the carrier; a guide housing coupled with the housing; a lifting guide rotatable with respect to the guide housing; a lifting member configured to move in the optical axis direction as the lifting guide is rotated to be in contact with or spaced apart from the lens module; and a driving unit configured to transmit a driving force to the lifting guide. A protrusion part is disposed on one of the lifting guide and the driving unit, and a guide groove coupled to the protrusion part is disposed in another of the lifting guide and the driving unit.
