Abstract
A small-sized camera module in which an adhesive does not flow in side electrodes is provided. In the camera module according to the embodiment of the invention, the adhesive does not flow in concave portions thanks to a protection wall for covering top portions of the concave portions formed on a substrate. Accordingly, the side electrodes formed in the concave portions can be securely electrically connected to a contact or a drawing substrate. A lower portion of a holder can be disposed adjacent to the concave portions. Thus, the size of the substrate can be formed as small as possible, so it is possible to obtain the small-sized camera module.
