Description

The Zooming camera module of hand-held action device
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of Zooming camera module of hand-held action device, it comprises the camera module of being made up of liquid lens and lens set, has the function of zoom and focusing simultaneously, and is applicable to hand-held action device.
Background technology
Because the fast development of electronic technology, many hand-held action devices have possessed camera function, and camera module all develops to miniaturization.For the volume that reaches zoom function and dwindle camera module, technology is all utilized the camera lens of three groups of formula lens set to cooperate and is moved the purpose that lens set middle and the back group reaches zoom and focusing at present.Yet this kind structure is for hand-held action device, for example mobile phone, PDA (personal digital assistant) ... Deng, volume is too huge.Therefore prior art has the invention of liquid lens.
The patent relevant with liquid lens please refer to the U.S. Patent number US 6,369 that is announced on April 9th, 2002, " camera lens of tool different focal " of 954B1 (also being PCTNo.WO 99/18456); Be disclosed in the U.S. Patent Publication No. US 2005/0002113A1 on January 6th, 2005 " droplet congregating device ", it is the application of Varioptic company; And " Varifocal zoom lens " that be disclosed in the U.S. Patent Publication No. US 2005/0113912A1 on May 26th, 2005, it is the application of Philips company.
The liquid lens of above-mentioned prior art all is that fused (non-miscible) and liquid with different refractivity are packed in the middle of the transparent column shape container mutually with two kinds, and apply the polarity that voltage changes two kinds of liquid in the container, change the curvature of interface between liquid by capillary variation, to reach the purpose of deviation light.Here be that example is described as follows with U.S. Patent Publication No. US 2005/0113912 A1.
See also Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, it is the generalized section according to the Varifocal zoom lens of U.S. Patent Publication No. US 2005/0113912 A1.This Varifocal zoom lens includes first an electrode 2a cylindraceous, and it forms a capillary body, and is sealed (4a, 6a are generally optical glass) by a transparent front element 4a and a back element 6a, to form a liquid room 5a.This liquid room 5a is equipped with two kinds of non-miscible liquid A and B.Liquid A is non-conductive liquid, for example silicone oil; Liquid B is a conducting liquid, for example contains the water of salting liquid.This first electrode 2a is made and is coated with an insulating barrier 8a by metal material, this insulating barrier 8a is coated with liquid contact layer 10a, for example a Teflon.Aforesaid liquid contact layer 10a is the male and fomale(M﹠F) (meniscus) that is used for reducing liquid, and promptly the liquid curved surface 14, with the hysteresis (hysteresis) of the cylindric wall contact angle of liquid room.One second electrode 12a is located at the end of this liquid room 5a and arranges at least a portion to be positioned at this liquid room 5a, makes this second electrode 12a act on liquid B by this.
When applying different voltage V1 and V2 between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 12a time, can change the liquid curved surface 14 of aforesaid liquid B, change the refraction angle of light by this and form different focal lengths.
Yet the aforesaid liquid camera lens has the shortcoming of spherical aberration, and the switching between the different focal position is rather consuming time, that is accurately between controlling liquid the curvature changing of interface need expend considerable time to the numerical value that optical computing obtains.And, if the function of utilizing a plurality of liquid lens to reach optical zoom and focus automatically simultaneously, therefore the needed time can be longer, if the camera lens module that utilizes the aforesaid liquid camera lens to be used as having zoom and automatic focus function merely, still has many imperfection parts and need be overcome.
Therefore, the present invention proposes a kind of reasonable in design and effectively improve the Zooming camera module of the hand-held action device of above-mentioned defective.
