A reflecting unit is provided, including an optical member holder, an optical member, a frame, a first bearing member, a first hinge, and a first driving module. The optical member is disposed on the optical member holder. The first bearing member is disposed on the frame or the optical member holder. The first hinge is pivotally connected to the optical member holder and the frame. The first driving module can drive the optical member holder to rotate relative to the frame. When the optical member holder rotates relative to the frame, the first hinge rotates relative to the optical member holder or the frame via the first bearing member.

A liquid optical module is provided, including a liquid lens driving mechanism and a liquid lens assembly. The liquid lens driving mechanism includes a fixed portion, a movable portion and a driving assembly. The movable portion is movably connected to the fixed portion. The liquid lens assembly includes a liquid lens element, a fixing member and a deforming member. The fixing member is disposed on a first fixed portion surface of the fixed portion, and the deforming member is disposed on a movable portion surface of the movable portion. The movable portion surface and the first fixed portion surface face the same direction, and when the movable portion is driven by the driving assembly to move relative to the fixed portion, the liquid lens element is deformed by the deforming member, causing the optical properties of the liquid lens element to change.

An optical system is provided, including a liquid optical module and a first optical module. The liquid optical module includes a liquid lens driving mechanism and a liquid lens assembly. The liquid lens driving mechanism includes a fixed portion, a movable portion and a first driving assembly configured to drive the movable portion to move relative to the fixed portion. The liquid lens assembly includes a liquid lens element, a fixing member and a deforming member. The first optical module is disposed in a receiving space of the fixed portion and includes: a first optical element and a first optical driving mechanism. When the movable portion is driven by the driving assembly to move relative to the fixed portion, the liquid lens element is deformed via the deforming member, causing the optical properties of the liquid lens element to change.

An optical element driving mechanism is provided that includes a fixed assembly, a movable assembly, and a driving assembly. The movable assembly is configured to be connected to an optical element, and the movable assembly is movable relative to the fixed assembly. The driving assembly is configured to drive the movable member to move relative to the fixed assembly.

A driving mechanism for an optical element is provided, including a fixed part, a movable part and a driving assembly. The movable part is configured to connect to the optical element having the optical axis. The movable part is movable relative to the fixed part. The driving assembly is configured to drive the movable part to move relative to the fixed part.

A driving mechanism for an optical element is provided, including a support body, a movable portion, an elastic assembly, and a driving assembly. The movable portion is located in the support body. The movable portion is movable relative to the support body and is used to connect to an optical element. The elastic assembly is movably connected to the support body and the movable portion. The driving assembly is disposed on the support body and the movable portion, and is configured to drive the movable portion to move relative to the support body.

An optical member driving mechanism is provided. The optical member driving mechanism is configured to hold an optical member and drive the optical member to move. The optical member driving mechanism includes a first movable portion, a fixed portion, and a driving assembly. The first movable portion is movable relative to the fixed portion. The driving assembly is configured to drive the first movable portion to move relative to the fixed portion.

The present invention relates to an aperture unit having an optical axis. The aperture unit includes a fixed portion, a guiding element, a first blade and a driving assembly. The guiding element is movably connected to the fixed portion, and the first blade is movably connected to the guiding element and the fixed portion. The driving assembly is disposed on the guiding element for driving the guiding element to move relative to the fixed portion in a first moving dimension. When the guiding element moves relative to the fixed portion in the first moving dimension, the first blade is driven by the guiding element to move relative to the fixed portion in a second moving dimension, and the first moving dimension and the second moving dimension are different.

A camera and a terminal including the same are disclosed. The camera according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first prism apparatus to reflect a first input light input in a first direction to a second direction; a second prism apparatus to reflect a second input light input in the first direction to the second direction, and output the reflected second input light to the first prism apparatus; a lens apparatus to receive the first input light from the first prism apparatus or the second input light from the second prism apparatus; and an image sensor to generate an image signal based on the first input light or the second input. Accordingly, it is possible to implement a slim camera that can use a single image sensor with respect to a plurality of cameras at the time of front photographing or rear photographing.

A prism for an optical imaging includes an incident surface on which light is incident; an emission surface from which light is emitted; a reflective surface configured to reflect light incident to the incident surface to the emission surface; and a discontinuous portion disposed at one or both of a boundary portion between the incident surface and the reflective surface and a boundary portion between the emission surface and the reflective surface.
