CAMERA MODULE

Abstract:

The present invention provides a camera module includes a lens assembly comprising a liquid lens and at least one solid lens disposed above or below the liquid lens, the liquid lens comprising a plurality of individual electrodes and a common electrode; a driving driver configured to supply a voltage through the common electrode and at least one of the plurality of individual electrodes in the liquid lens in order to control an interface of the liquid lens; a capacitance measurement circuit configured to measure capacitance between the common electrode and at least one of the plurality of individual electrodes in the liquid lens; an operation state storage unit configured to store information on capacitance that varies depending on variation in temperature in the liquid lens; and a control unit to determine a temperature in the liquid lens based on the capacitance measured by the capacitance measurement circuit and the information.
