OPTICAL APPARATUS CAPABLE OF BEING MINIATURIZED
An optical apparatus which is capable of being miniaturized is provided. The optical apparatus includes a lens unit, a drive unit configured to include a base member, a shift member, and an urging member, a cylindrical body configured to support the drive unit, and a first coupling portion configured to be coupled with the urging member. A groove along a direction of an optical axis of the lens unit is provided inside the cylindrical body. The urging member urges the shift member with respect to the base member. The first coupling portion and the groove overlap with each other when viewed from the direction of the optical axis.
Electrical traces in suspension assemblies
A camera may include at least one suspension assembly as part of optical image stabilization and/or autofocus systems of the camera. The suspension assembly may include an inner frame, an outer frame, and one or more flexure arms. Electrical traces may be deposited at both sides of the suspension assembly. A connection may be created, for electrical traces at the different sides of the suspension assembly, through the suspension assembly by removing (e.g., using an etching process) one or more parts in the body of the suspension assembly to create one or more cavities. A remaining part of the suspension assembly surrounded (and thus isolated) by the cavities may thus form at least a part of the connection for the electrical traces. The connection may further include one or more filled trenches connecting the electrical traces to the remaining part of the suspension assembly.
Optical unit
An optical unit is provided and includes: a movable body having an optical module; a fixed body; a rolling support mechanism which supports the movable body rotatably around the optical axis of the optical module with respect to the fixed body; and a rolling drive mechanism which turn the movable body around the optical axis. The rolling support mechanism includes: at least one pair of protruded parts which protrude from one of the movable body and the fixed body towards the other thereof and which are disposed at positions facing each other with the optical axis interposed therebetween in a direction intersecting the optical axis, and an elastic member whose one end part is attached to the protruded part and an other end part is attached to the other of the movable body and the fixed body, and which turnably support the movable body around the optical axis.
LENS DRIVING DEVICE, AND CAMERA MODULE AND OPTICAL DEVICE INCLUDING SAME
One embodiment comprises: a housing; a bobbin arranged in the housing; a first coil arranged on the bobbin; a magnet, which is arranged in the housing and corresponds to the first coil; an upper elastic member coupled to the top of the bobbin and the top of the housing; a second coil, which is arranged below the housing and corresponds to the magnet in the optical axis direction; a circuit board including a body arranged below the second coil, and a connective elastic part extending from the body; a base arranged below the body of the circuit board; and a support member having one end coupled to the upper elastic member, and having the other end coupled to the connective elastic part, wherein the connective elastic part includes a coupling part coupled to the other end of the support member, and a connection part for connecting the body and the coupling part.
IMAGE STABILIZATION MOTOR, CAMERA MODULE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
This application relates to the field of imaging technologies, and in particular, to an image stabilization motor, a camera module, and an electronic device. The image stabilization motor includes a lens carrier, a sensing component, a base, a bearing assembly, and a driving component. The lens carrier is configured to fasten a lens, the sensing component is fastened to the lens carrier, the bearing assembly is mounted on the base, the driving component is fastened to the base, and the driving component cooperates with the sensing component, so that the lens carrier can rotate around the bearing assembly. In the image stabilization motor, the camera module, and the electronic device provided in this application, the bearing assembly is disposed, so that the lens carrier needs to overcome only friction force between the lens carrier and the bearing assembly in an entire rotation process.
Optical element drive device
An optical element drive device includes a movable section and a fixed section. The movable section includes a first magnetic field generator for generating a first magnetic field and is drivable in a motion direction. The fixed section includes a sensor unit. The sensor unit carries out a detection based on the first magnetic field and a bias magnetic field different from the first magnetic field.
Optical unit with correction function
The present disclosure provides an optical unit with shake correction function capable of preventing a thrust receiving member, which fixes a sphere, from falling off from the movable body in an optical axis direction. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a thrust receiving member to which a first sphere is fixed is held by a holding portion formed of the cutout recess provided in a fixed body. A bottom wall surface of the holding portion makes contact with a bent plate portion of the thrust receiving member from −Z direction side. Further, locked surface parts provided on a pair of side wall surfaces of a holding portion make contact, from +Z direction side, with a pair of locking plate portions protruding from a bent plate portion in circumferential direction in the thrust receiving member.
Camera module including magnet interacting with both coil for performing focusing function and coil for performing shake compensation function
Disclosed is a camera module. The camera module includes: a lens barrel disposed in a housing to receive a lens assembly; an elastic member in at least one of the housing and the lens barrel; a driving unit moving the lens barrel relative to the housing; and a sensor unit fixed to the housing.
Blade driving device for high resolution imaging apparatus
To enable continuous operational control of the blade member with high resolution and good accuracy, even when achieving miniaturization and thickness reduction in a blade driving device, through enabling smooth movement of a movable member in a blade driving device. A blade driving device 1 comprises: a base member 2 that has an opening 2A; one or a plurality of blade members 3 that operate so as to advance into the opening 2A or withdraw from the opening 2A; a driving member 4 that moves within a plane that is perpendicular to the optical axis that passes through the opening 2A, to drive the blade member 3; and supporting members 7 that are provided between the base member 2 and the driving member 4, so as to provide sliding support or elastic support of the driving member 4 in a state that is separated from the base member 2.
Light lamp assembly for multi-sensor camera
The embodiments of the present application relates to a camera, comprising a first housing, a stitching lens mechanism, and a driving assembly. The stitching lens mechanism is mounted in the first housing, and the stitching lens mechanism comprises at least two first assemblies, the first lens assembly comprises a first lens, a first included angle is formed between at least two first lenses. A driving assembly is connected to the first lens assembly through a rotating assembly. At least two first lenses are distributed in a first plane, the first housing is rotatably arranged in a second plane, and the second plane is perpendicular to the first plane. Each of the first lens assemblies takes pictures in different orientations for the same scene, so that the imaging field of view is larger. So that the first housing can rotate under the drive of the driving assembly, that is, the stitching lens mechanism can rotate. Compared with the existing stitching camera with a fixed structure, the imaging field of view of the camera of the present application is larger. That is, the camera of the present application can further expand the range of the imaging field of view compared to the existing camera.
