Patent ID: 7876515

Claim:
A camera module comprising: a barrel unit comprising a barrel and a plurality of lenses received in the barrel, the barrel unit defining an optical axis; an image sensing unit having an image sensing surface, a boundary of the image sensing surface forming a first projection boundary on a projection plane by projecting along the optical axis, wherein the projection plane is perpendicular to the optical axis; and a voice coil motor comprising: a hollow fixed part; a movable part movably received in the fixed part, the movable part having a receiving space defined therein, the barrel being engaged in the receiving space, a boundary of the receiving space of the movable part forming a second projection boundary on the projection plane by projecting along the optical axis; and a base comprising a shielding part and a through hole defined in the shielding part, a boundary of the through hole forming a third projection boundary on the projection plane by projecting along the optical axis, wherein the third projection boundary is located between the first and the second projection boundaries.
