Patent ID: 8611735

Claim:
A camera module having a function of compensating for hand shake, comprising: a moving part including image capturing lenses; a fixed part surrounding the moving part; a driving means for moving the moving part in a direction perpendicular to a direction of an optical axis of the image capturing lenses; suspension wires, which extend parallel to or at an angle to the direction of the optical axis, for supporting the moving part such that the moving part is moved in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis; elastic members, connected to at least one ends of the respective suspension wires, each suppressing stress to be applied to a corresponding one of the suspension wires; and damper members, applied to the respective elastic members, which cause a reduction in vibrations of the elastic members, wherein: the moving part includes flat springs for supporting the image capturing lenses; and the elastic members are extending parts of the respective flat springs, which extending parts each extend out toward the fixed part.
