A compact camera module is provided that contains a generally planar base to which a lens barrel is mounted. The base, barrel or both are molded from a polymer composition comprising a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer and a plurality of mineral fibers (also known as “whiskers”). The mineral fibers have a median width of from about 1 to about 35 microns and constitute from about 5% to about 60% by weight of the polymer composition. |
