Abstract:
An auto-focus device includes a distance sensor, an actuator, a digital auto-focusing unit, and a controller. The distance sensor is configured for measure an object distance from an object to a lens module. The actuator is configured for drive the lens module to focus on an image sensor. The digital auto-focus unit is configured to process a blur image captured by the image sensor without focusing the lens module on the image sensor to get a sharp image. The controller is configured to activate the actuator when the object distance is shorter than a preset distance or otherwise activate the digital auto-focus unit.
Abstract:
A voice coil motor includes a stationary magnetic field generator having a supporting frame, a moveable magnetic field generator, a case and a double sided adhesive layer. The supporting frame defines a first receiving space receiving the moveable magnetic field generator. The moveable magnetic field generator defines a second receiving space. The case encloses the stationary magnetic field generator, the moveable magnetic field generator and the double sided adhesive layer and includes a bottom plate and side plates. The bottom plate includes a first surface and a second surface facing away the first surface. The side plates extend from the second surface. The bottom plate defines a through hole. A diameter of the through hole is smaller than that of the second receiving space. The double sided adhesive layer is entirely covering the second face.
Abstract:
A stabilization system includes a camera module, a fixed body, a movable frame, a pivot member, a motion sensor, a magnetic driving module, and an electric member. The movable frame receives the camera module and includes a first outer surface, a second outer surface, a third outer surface and a fourth outer surface. The motion sensor is attached to the fourth outer surface. The driving module includes a first magnetic driving unit arranged on the fixed body and a second magnetic driving unit arranged on the first, second, and third outer surfaces. The driving module drives the movable frame to rotate around the pivot member to compensate a movement of the camera module based on a motion detection result of the motion sensor through interaction between the first and second magnetic driving units. The electric member interconnects the fixed body and the movable frame.
Abstract:
A spring plate includes a plate body having a through hole defined at the center, and a terminal perpendicularly extending from the plate body. The plate body includes an outer closed-loop frame, an inner closed-loop frame, and spring parts interconnected between the outer closed-loop frame and the inner closed-loop frame. The terminal has an end portion distal from the plate body with at least one through hole or a recess.
Abstract:
An image stabilizer control device includes a biaxial gyroscope, a processing unit and an actuator unit. The biaxial gyroscope senses movement of an imaging module and detects a first angular velocity of the imaging module in two reference planes perpendicular to each other. The processing unit generates a first driving signal in response to the first angular velocity. The actuator unit moves the imaging module to compensate the movement in response to the first driving signal. The biaxial gyroscope detects a second angular velocity of the imaging module in the two reference planes upon completing movement compensation associated with the first driving signal. The processing unit converts the second angular velocity into a second angle, compares the second angle with a predetermined angle range and generates a second driving signal in response to the comparison result. The actuator unit moves the imaging module in response to the second driving signal.
Abstract:
A voice coil motor (VCM) includes a fixed assembly and a movable assembly. The fixed assembly includes a fixed bracket and a coil group. The fixed bracket is substantially tri-columnar in shape and includes three sidewalls supporting the coil group thereon, and defines a first receiving cavity between the three sidewalls. The coil group is arranged on the three sidewalls. The movable assembly includes a movable barrel movably received in the first receiving cavity, and a magnet group. The movable barrel is also substantially tri-columnar in shape and includes three external surfaces. The magnet group is arranged on the three external surfaces of the movable barrel and spatially opposite to the coil group.

An exemplary voice coil motor includes a movable unit, a fixed unit, and a resilient plate. The movable unit includes a hollow lens barrel for accommodating a number of lenses, and at least one fine pattern coil fixed on a sidewall of the lens barrel and configured for electrical connection to a power source. The fixed unit includes a hollow frame structured bracket and a number of magnets mounted on the bracket. The bracket accommodates the movable unit. The magnets surround and are spaced apart from the at least one fine pattern coil. The resilient plate is resiliently connected between the bracket and the lens barrel to hold the lens barrel on the bracket.
Abstract:
An image stabilization system includes a fixed unit having a first receiving cavity therein, a movable unit received in the first receiving cavity, a pivot member located between the fixed unit and the movable unit, a magnetic motion sensor, and a magnetic driving module. The pivot member is received in and between the fixed unit and the movable unit. The magnetic motion sensor is disposed on the fixed unit for detecting a movement of the image stabilization system. The magnetic driving module is configured for rotating the movable unit around the pivot member to compensate for movement of the image stabilization system based on the motion detection result of the motion sensor.
Abstract:
A voice coil motor includes a stationary member, a moveable member, a base, and two guide posts. The stationary member includes a stationary frame and a number of magnets fixed on the stationary frame. The stationary frame defines a first receiving room. The moveable member is received in the first receiving room and includes a barrel holder and a coil. The barrel holder defines a second receiving room for receiving a lens barrel. The coil wraps around the barrel holder. Two through holes extend from a top surface to a bottom surface of the barrel holder. The base supports the stationary member and the moveable member. The guide posts are perpendicularly fixed on the base and pass through the through holes of the moveable member.
Abstract:
An image stabilizer includes a circuit board, a stationary member secured on the circuit board and defines a first receiving space and a first central axis, a moveable member received in the first receiving space, a driving assembly including a first magnetic member secured to the stationary member and a second magnetic member secured to the moveable member, a resilient assembly interconnecting the stationary member and the moveable member, and a photo-detector fixed on the circuit board and facing the moveable member. The driving assembly drives the moveable member to rotate about a first axis and a second axis relative to the stationary member through magnetic interaction between the first and second magnetic members. The resilient assembly counter-rotates the moveable member about the first axis and the second axis relative to the stationary member. The photo-detector detects vibration or movement of the moveable member relative to the stationary member.
