Fixing structure for camera module, fixing method therefor, and mobile terminal using the same

摘要

A camera module fixing structure is configured so that a cushion (4) is fitted over the outer peripheral surface of the lens barrel portion (2a) of the camera module (2), and that the cushion is press-fitted between the camera module holding frame (3) and the apparatus enclosure (5) while sandwichedly fixing the holding frame between a substrate (1) and an apparatus enclosure. This completely eliminates the need for positioning the cushion, and produces the effect of preventing refuse or dust from intruding into the lens barrel portion passing between the enclosure and the holding frame, or through the side surface of the camera module from inside the apparatus. Even when shock or pressure through a screen is applied, the lens barrel portion is prevented from being directly subjected to load, which allows a reliable protection of the lens barrel portion, and prevention of the occurrence of an out-of-focus state or module failure.
