A lens driving device is provided, including: a holder member; a first driving unit disposed at the holder member; a base disposed at a lower side of the holder member and spaced apart from the holder member; a first circuit board disposed at an upper surface of the base; a second circuit board including a second driving unit facing the first driving unit, and disposed at an upper surface of the first circuit board; a support member supporting the holder member with respect to the base; and a guide portion protruded from an upper surface of the base, wherein the guide portion supports the second circuit board. In an embodiment, a coil at the second circuit board and a magnet at the holder member may be assembled at a predetermined interval, such that reliability of the product with respect to performance of handshake compensation device can be enhanced.

A variable focal length lens device includes: a lens system whose refractive index changes in accordance with a drive signal to be inputted; an objective lens disposed on the same optical axis as the lens system; an image detector configured to detect an image of a measurement target through the lens system and the objective lens: a resonance-lock controller configured to tune the drive signal to a resonance frequency of the lens system; and a resonance-lock delay controller configured to divide a change in a frequency of the drive signal by a change amount set by the resonance-lock controller to step-by-step changes for n times by a preset reference value to delay the change in the frequency of the drive signal.

A periscope-type zooming camera module which requires no voice-coil unit includes a light steering device, a lens unit, a light sensing assembly, and a zooming assembly. The light steering device changes transmission direction of light. The lens unit is arranged to receive light from the light steering device; and the light sensing assembly is arranged to receive light from the lens unit. The zooming assembly merely requires different levels of voltage to zoom in and out, adjusting focal length of the lens unit.
