Camera module and electronic device including the same

Abstract

At least one camera module disposed in an electronic device is provided. The at least one camera module includes a lens assembly aligned along an optical axis, an image sensor for changing an image to an electrical signal, an optical image stabilization (OIS) driving unit for providing force for the lens assembly or the image sensor to move in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis or to rotate about the optical axis, and a housing for accommodating the lens assembly, the image sensor and the OIS driving unit, wherein the OIS driving unit includes an OIS carrier for moving in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis or rotating about the optical axis, the OIS carrier transports the lens assembly or the image sensor based on the movement of the OIS driving unit, a plurality of first axis drive coils disposed on a first side of the housing, a first magnet having at least two polarities, and disposed on the OIS carrier to face the plurality of the first axis drive coils, at least two first position sensors disposed at coil centers of at least two drive coils respectively among the plurality of the first axis drive coils, and configured to acquire first information for measuring a position of the first magnet for a first axis direction of the OIS driving unit, and at least one second position sensor configured to acquire second information for measuring a position of the first magnet for a second axis direction of the OIS driving unit, and wherein the at least one second position sensor be disposed on the first side of the housing to face one or more neutral zones of the first magnet.
