Patent ID: 8295696

Claim:
A camera module comprising: a barrel; a movable lens provided to be movable in the barrel in an optical axis direction; an imaging device that captures an image of a subject viewed through the movable lens; and an actuator that changes the distance between the movable lens and the imaging device, wherein the actuator has a first power feed terminal provided at one end thereof and a second power feed terminal provided at the other end thereof, the first terminal attached on the side where the movable lens is present, the second terminal attached on the side where the barrel is present, the first terminal having a pair of first terminal electrodes sandwiching the one end of the actuator therebetween, the second terminal having a pair of second terminal electrodes sandwiching the other end of the actuator therebetween, one of the pair of the first terminal electrodes and one of the pair of the second terminal electrodes being electrically connected to a first polarity, a remaining one of the pair of the first terminal electrodes and a remaining one of the pair of the second terminal electrodes being electrically connected to a second polarity being opposite of the first polarity, the actuator bends when electric power is fed to each of the first and second terminals and changes the distance between the movable lens and the imaging device.
