Abstract
A camera module having a holder including a leans unit and upper and lower leaf springs for displaceably supporting is provided. Each of the leaf springs has an outer annular portion, an inner annular portion, and bridge portions couple between the outer annular portion and the inner annular portion for resiliently support the inner annular portion with respect to the outer annular portion. The inner annular portion of the lower leaf spring is attached to an lower cylindrical end portion of the holder mechanically and reliably, and the inner annular portion of the upper leaf spring is attached to the upper cylindrical end portion of the holder in a state that the inner annular portion is fixedly held between an upper cylindrical end portion of the holder and a stopper. According to the camera module having the above structure, since the bonding operating using a synthetic resin that was performed in the conventional camera module can be omitted, it is possible to shorten a time necessary for manufacturing a camera module.
