  • Patent number: 11327268
    Abstract: A camera module includes a lens assembly, a holder, and a thermal deformable material. The lens assembly includes at least one lens and a lens barrel, wherein the lens barrel includes a wall surrounding a central axis of the lens assembly to define a receiving chamber, and the lens is disposed in the receiving chamber. The holder surrounds the lens barrel and supports the lens assembly. The thermal deformable material is disposed between an outer wall of the lens barrel and an inner wall of the holder.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10884318
    Abstract: A camera module includes a lens assembly, a propulsion device, and a deformable. The propulsion device is configured for distally and proximally driving the lens assembly. The deformable lens is deformed, and a focal length of the deformable lens is changed in response to a pressure applied onto the deformable lens by the lens assembly distally driven by the propulsion device. The deformable lens remains undeformed, and the focal length of the deformable lens remains constant in response to no pressure applied onto the deformable lens.

  • Patent number: 10816760
    Abstract: A camera module is provided and includes a lens assembly and an illuminating module. The lens assembly includes a plurality of lenses and a lens barrel disposed around the lenses for supporting the lenses. The lens assembly includes an incident surface, an emergent surface and a lateral surface. The lens barrel includes a bearing part parallel to the lenses, and the bearing part is disposed on the emergent surface of the lens assembly and is not disposed on the incident surface of the lens assembly. The illuminating module includes at least one light source and an annular circuit board, and disposed on the incident surface of the lens assembly.

  • Patent number: 10684533
    Abstract: A camera module includes a variable aperture module and a lens module. The variable aperture module includes at least one aperture piece and a radial propulsion device. The lens module includes a lens assembly and an axial propulsion device. The axial propulsion device is configured to drive the lens assembly along an axial direction. The radial propulsion device is configured to propel the aperture piece in a radial direction approaching a central axis of the lens assembly, such that a portion of the aperture piece enters the lens assembly through an opening defined by the wall of the lens barrel. The radial propulsion device is configured to retract the aperture piece in a radial direction away from the central axis of the lens assembly, such that the portion of the aperture piece leaving the lens assembly through the opening defined by the wall of the lens barrel.
