Flexible printed circuit board and small camera apparatus including the same

摘要

A small camera apparatus includes a base, a lens barrel, a lens driving assembly, and a first flexible printed circuit board. The lens barrel is disposed to be spaced apart from the image sensor in an optical axis direction and has at least one lens. The lens driving assembly has a supporting frame, a first moving frame supported on the supporting frame to be movable in the optical axis direction, and a second moving frame loaded with the lens barrel and supported on the first moving frame to be movable in directions perpendicular to the optical axis direction. The first flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) provides an electrical signal, for driving the second moving frame, to the first moving frame. At least a portion of the first FPCB is bent and is disposed between the base and the first moving frame. At least a portion of the bent portion is bonded to reduce a bending tension that occurs in a direction opposite to a bending direction when the first FPCB is bent.

1. A small camera apparatus comprising:
a base having an image sensor; a lens barrel disposed to be spaced apart from the image sensor in an optical axis direction, the lens barrel having at least one lens; a lens driving assembly having a supporting frame, a first moving frame supported on the supporting frame to be movable in the optical axis direction, and a second moving frame loaded with the lens barrel and supported on the first moving frame to be movable in directions perpendicular to the optical axis direction; and a first flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) that provides an electrical signal, for driving the second moving frame, to the first moving frame, wherein a continuous portion of the first FPCB which is disposed between the base and the first moving frame includes a bending portion where the FPCB is bent over itself to form a connection area where inner surfaces of the FPCB in the connection area are bonded together.
