Patent number: 9523837Abstract: A lens module includes a driving device, an image sensing device, a lens group frame, and an infrared filter. The driving device has a lens barrel for an optical signal passing through. The image sensing device is on a path of the optical signal to convert the optical signal into an electric signal. The lens group frame is provided in the lens barrel, and has a main body, which is driven by the driving device to be moved between a first position and a second position, and a lens holder, which is pivotally connected on the main body and is swung between a third position and a fourth position when the main body is respectively at the first and the second positions. The infrared filter is provided on the lens holder, and is precisely aligned with the image sensing device when the lens holder is at the fourth position.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2015Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignees: SINTAI OPTICAL (SHENZHEN) CO., LTD., ASIA OPTICAL INTERNATIONAL LTD.Inventors: Duen-Kwei Hwang, Ming-Chih Chang

Patent number: 9417427Abstract: A zoom lens includes a driving device, a zooming frame, and a lens group, wherein the driving device has a lens barrel. The zooming frame is located in the lens barrel, and has a body, a first lens holder, and a second lens holder which are pivotally connected to the body. The body is drivable by the driving device to reciprocally move between a first position and a second position. The first lens holder is respectively pivoted between a third position and a fourth position on the body along with the body being moved between the first position and the second position. The second lens holder is pivoted between a fifth position and a sixth position on the body in the same way. The lens group has a first lens sub-group provided on the first lens holder, and a second lens sub-group provided on the second lens holder.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignees: SINTAI OPTICAL (SHENZHEN) CO., LTD., ASIA OPTICAL INTERNATIONAL LTD.Inventors: Duen-Kwei Hwang, Ming-Chih Chang

Patent number: 8717482Abstract: A lens assembly includes a base frame, an image sensor, a lens barrel, a lens and a backoff mechanism. By means of the backoff mechanism, the image sensor is mounted at the base frame and movable between an operative position and a non-operative backoff position. When the image sensor is in the operative position, the lens barrel is in a first position far frame the base frame, and the optical axis of the lens intersects the image sensor. When the lens barrel is moved to a second position close to the base frame, the image sensor is moved to the non-operative backoff position, and the optical axis of the lens is not intersected with the image sensor.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2012Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Asia Optical Co., Inc.Inventors: Duen-Kwei Hwang, Kai-Kun Chen
