FOLDED CAMERA WITH OPTICAL IMAGE STABILIZATION
Folded digital camera comprising a lens having a lens optical axis, an image sensor and first and second optical path folding elements (OPFEs), in which the second OPFE is closest to the image sensor, wherein the lens is operative to move in a first direction substantially parallel to the lens optical axis and in a second direction substantially perpendicular to first and second optical paths, wherein the second OPFE is operative to move in the first direction, and wherein the combined motion of the lens and of the second OPFE is operative to provide focus and to compensate for tilts of the camera around the first and second directions.
IMAGE SENSOR, CAMERA MODULE INCLUDING THE IMAGE SENSOR, ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE CAMERA MODULE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE IMAGE SENSOR
An image sensor includes a pixel division structure, a light sensing element, a color filter array layer and a microlens. The pixel division structure extends through a substrate in a vertical direction, and defines unit pixel regions. The light sensing element is in each unit pixel region. The color filter array layer including color filters is on the substrate. The microlens is on the color filter array layer. The pixel division structure includes a core and a lateral pattern structure on a sidewall thereof. The core includes a first filling pattern including polysilicon doped with impurities at a first concentration and a second filling pattern in a space formed by the first filling pattern. A sidewall of the second filling pattern is covered by the first filling pattern, and the second filling pattern includes polysilicon doped with impurities at a second concentration different from the first concentration.
Compact folded camera
Folded cameras comprising a movable lens having a lens optical axis and positioned in an optical path between an optical path folding element (OPFE) and an image sensor, wherein the OPFE folds light from a first direction to a second direction, the second direction being substantially along the lens optical axis, and an actuator for controlled lens movement, the actuator including or being attached to a shield partially surrounding the lens, the shield having an opening positioned and dimensioned to enable installation of the lens into the shield from an insertion direction substantially parallel to the first direction. A folded camera disclosed herein may be included together with an upright camera in a dual-camera.
Reflective optical element and stereo camera device
Provided is a reflective optical element that is lightweight and excellent in damping capacity. In the reflective optical element, a resin layer having an optical surface is formed on a metal substrate, and a reflective film is formed on the optical surface, and also, the metal substrate includes an alloy containing Mg as a main component.
Ball Bearing Suspension Arrangement for Camera with Tilt Actuator
Various embodiments include a camera with a ball bearing suspension arrangement that suspends one or more tiltable structures. In some embodiments, the camera may include an optical element, an image sensor, an actuator arrangement, and the ball bearing suspension arrangement. The actuator arrangement may include a tilt actuator configured to tilt one or more tiltable structures about a tilt axis. The ball bearing arrangement may suspend the tiltable structure(s) from a base structure and allow motion of the tiltable structure(s) enabled by the tilt actuator. In various embodiments, the ball bearing suspension arrangement may include a ball bearing that is positioned at a different height, along the tilt axis, than one or more other ball bearings of the ball bearing suspension arrangement.
