OPTICAL IMAGING LENS ASSEMBLY, IMAGE CAPTURING UNIT AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An optical imaging lens assembly having a zooming function includes, in order from an object side to an image side along an optical path: a reflection group and a lens group. The reflection group includes a prism having an object-side surface being convex. The prism includes a reflection surface configured to reflect an imaging light passing through the object-side surface of the prism and send the imaging light to an image-side surface of the prism. The lens group includes at least three lens elements arranged along the optical path, and each of the at least three lens elements has an object-side surface facing toward the object side and an image-side surface facing toward the image side. The lens group includes a movable group, and the movable group moves along a direction parallel to an optical axis in a zooming process.
Optical device
An optical module is provided. The optical module includes a first optical element driving mechanism. The first optical element driving mechanism includes a first movable portion, a first fixed portion, and a first driving assembly. The first movable portion connects an optical path adjustment element. The optical path adjustment element is configured to change a transmission direction of incident light to a first direction that is different from the transmission direction. The first fixed potion is polygonal when viewed in the transmission direction. The first movable portion is movable relative to the first fixed portion. The first driving assembly drives the first movable portion to move relative to the first fixed portion. The first driving assembly comprises a shape memory alloy. The first driving assembly is located on a first side of the first fixed portion when viewed in the transmission direction.
Lens barrel and imaging device
A lightweight lens barrel with two focus lenses; a first lens holding frame for holding a first lens, a first drive unit for causing the first lens holding frame to move in the optical axis direction, a second lens holding frame for holding a second lens, a second drive unit for causing the second lens holding frame to move in the optical axis direction, and a moving tube with the first driving unit and the second driving unit, and movable in the optical axis direction, wherein the first lens holding frame and the second lens holding frame are each movable in the optical axis direction with respect to the moving tube.
Optical unit
An optical assembly includes an optical element including a reflection surface to reflect light in a first axis direction, a holder to hold the optical element, a case to support the holder, a first swing mechanism to swing the holder around a first swing axis, and a second swing mechanism to swing the holder around a second swing axis perpendicular to the first swing axis. The holder includes first and second protrusions. The case includes first and second recesses. Each of the recesses includes a first side surface located on one side in the axial direction of the second swing axis and a second side surface located on the other side with respect to the corresponding protrusion. At least one of the first and second side surfaces includes an inclined surface inclined with respect to the second swing axis.
CAMERA ACTUATOR AND CAMERA MODULE COMPRISING SAME
A camera module according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a lens group; a lens support unit for accommodating the lens group; a magnet arranged on the outer surface of the lens support unit; a yoke portion spaced apart from the magnet and arranged to face the magnet; and a coil arranged on the yoke portion so as to be spaced apart from and to face the magnet between the magnet and the yoke portion, wherein the lens group, the lens support unit, and the magnet move together along an optical axis according to a current applied to the coil, the yoke portion includes a first yoke and a second yoke arranged on the first yoke, the second yoke is arranged between the first yoke and the coil, and magnetism of the first yoke is stronger than that of the second yoke.
VOICE COIL MOTOR WITH IMPROVED ZOOMING PERFORMANCE
A voice coil motor includes a housing, a first lens holder, a second lens holder, a first electromagnetic drive assembly, and a second electromagnetic drive assembly. The first electromagnetic drive assembly generates a first electromagnetic force to drive the second lens holder to move in a moving direction. The second electromagnetic drive assembly is adapted to drive the first lens holder to move along the moving direction. The first magnetic steel portion includes a first magnet and a second magnet. The first coil includes a first wire portion and a second wire portion. When the first coil is conducted, a direction of current in the first wire portion and a direction of current in the second wire portion have at least components in opposite directions. The present disclosure can solve the jam problem when zooming, and also increase the zoom stroke.
MOVING FRONT LENS GROUP MECHANICALLY LOCATED TO FIXED REAR LENS GROUP
An optical assembly for an autofocus imaging system for capturing at least one image of an object appearing in an imaging field of view (FOV) is provided. The optical assembly includes a front aperture along an optical axis and a front lens group along the optical axis that receives light from the object of interest. The position of the front lens group is adjustable to change a focal distance of the optical assembly. The optical assembly further includes an actuator physically coupled to the front lens group that adjusts the position of the front lens. A rear lens group is disposed along the optical axis to receive the light from the front lens group, and an imaging sensor is disposed at a back focal distance of the rear lens group, to detect the light.
REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
A remote control unit for controlling a motion picture camera comprises a grip section at a first side for holding the remote control unit, an extension section at a second side and a display section extending from the grip section to the second side. The display section comprises a display at a front side thereof, which is oriented orthogonal to a viewing axis. The extension section projects away from the display section. The extension section comprises an operating side facing away from the grip section, at which side a rotatable operating element for setting control commands is arranged.
