An adjusting mechanism for adjusting a position of a display panel includes a first plate including a placing portion on which the display panel is placed, a second plate on which the first plate is placed, the second plate disposed on the opposite side of a display panel side with respect to the first plate, a third plate on which the second plate is placed, the third plate disposed on an opposite side of a first plate side with respect to the second plate, a first position adjusting actuator configured to move the first plate in a direction along a Z axis, a θx direction, and a θy direction, a second position adjusting actuator configured to move the second plate in a direction along an X axis and a θz direction, and a third position adjusting actuator configured to move the third plate in a direction along the Y axis.

A method and a device for measuring the topography and/or the gradients and/or the curvature of an optically active surface of an object are disclosed. The device allows the object to be arranged in a receiving region with a contact surface for contact with the object. Inside the device, there is a plurality of point light sources that provide light that is reflected at the surface to be measured of an object arranged in the receiving region. The device includes at least one camera with an objective assembly and an image sensor for detecting a brightness distribution which is produced on a light sensor by the light of the point light sources reflected at the surface to be measured.

Various embodiments include a camera with a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator assembly to provide autofocus (AF) and/or optical image stabilization (OIS) movement. The VCM actuator assembly is configured to move an image sensor of the camera in three dimensions (e.g. X, Y, and Z) to provide the AF and/or OIS movements. The VCM actuator assembly is asymmetrical and includes an at least partially open side that allows an optical assembly of the camera to pass through the open side of the VCM actuator. In some embodiments, the optical assembly is part of a folded optics arrangement of the camera that includes one or more prisms/and or lenses.

An inverse-movement-type voice coil actuating apparatus includes a case structure, a stationary lens module, and a movable image sensing and focusing assembly. The case structure has a case. The lens module is assembled in the case to define an optical axis. The image sensing and focusing assembly is received in the case and moves back and forth along the optical axis with respect to the lens module to focus. Thus, the path of the back-and-forth movement of the image sensing and focusing assembly can be ensured to remain consistent with the optical axis and the lens can be pre-screwed without dropping the dust during the assembly process to further increase the production yield.

An illustrative example camera device includes a substrate and a sensor supported on the substrate. The sensor is configured to gather image information. A lens is situated near the sensor and an electroactive polymer selectively causes relative movement between the sensor and the lens.

Provided are an imaging device capable of accelerating AF and a focusing control method thereof. A focus lens drive unit (16) that drives a focus lens (12), and an image sensor movement drive unit (120) that moves an image sensor (110) along an optical axis (L) are included. A target position of the focus lens (12) for focusing on a subject is set, and the focus lens (12) is moved toward the target position. The image sensor (110) is moved before the focus lens (12) reaches the target position such that focusing is performed. A focusing state is maintained by moving the image sensor (110) so as to follow the focus lens (12) after the focusing is performed.

An adjusting mechanism for adjusting a position of a display panel includes a first plate including a placing portion on which the display panel is placed, a second plate on which the first plate is placed, the second plate disposed on the opposite side of a display panel side with respect to the first plate, a third plate on which the second plate is placed, the third plate disposed on an opposite side of a first plate side with respect to the second plate, a first position adjusting actuator configured to move the first plate in a direction along a Z axis, a x direction, and a y direction, a second position adjusting actuator configured to move the second plate in a direction along an X axis and a z direction, and a third position adjusting actuator configured to move the third plate in a direction along the Y axis.

Disclosed is a back focus adjustment mechanism and a camera provided with the same. The back focus adjustment mechanism comprises a driving device (10) and a positioning and guiding device (20) separately provided, wherein the positioning and guiding device (20) comprises a positioning assembly (21) and a guiding assembly (22), the guiding assembly (22) is mounted on the positioning assembly (21), and the driving device (10) is in driving connection with the guiding assembly (22) to drive the guiding assembly (22) to move. In the back focus adjustment mechanism and a camera provided with the same, after the driving device (10) and the positioning and guiding device (20) are separately provided, each structure of the back focus adjustment mechanism can be simpler, and the reliability of each structure of the back focus adjustment mechanism can be increased under the same processing precision.
