摘要: A camera module and method for focusing a tunable lens configured to continuously vary its optical power in response to a drive signal. A drive circuit generates the drive signal so that the tunable lens performs a continuous scan of its optical power. An image sensor is configured to acquire light images passing through the tunable lens, and to convert the light images to image signals during the continuous scan. A processor is configured to generate focus scores of the acquired light images using the image signals during the continuous scan. The processor is configured to determine from the focus scores a peak focus score achieved or achievable, and to instruct the drive circuit to adjust the drive signal so that the tunable lens settles at a value of the optical power that corresponds to the peak focus score.

摘要: Liquid crystal optoelectronic devices are produced by fabricating a wafer-level component structure and affixing a plurality of discrete components to a surface structure prior to singulating the individual devices therefrom. After singulation, the individual devices include a portion of the wafer-level fabricated structure and at least of the discrete components. The wafer-level structure may include a liquid crystal and controlling electrodes, and the discrete components may include fixed lenses or image sensors. The discrete components may be located on either or both of two sides of the wafer-level structure. Multiple liquid crystal layers may be used to reduce nonuniformities in the interaction with light from different angles, and to control light of different polarizations. The liquid crystal devices may function as optoelectronic devices such as tunable lenses, shutters or diaphragms.
