  • Publication number: 20240152032
    Abstract: A dynamic aperture module includes a blade set and a driving portion. The blade set includes a plurality of blades, which are disposed around an optical axis to form a light through hole and rotatable for adjusting the light through hole. The driving portion includes a rotating element, at least one magnet and at least one coil. The rotating element corresponds to the blades and is configured to drive the blades to rotate, so that a dimension of the light through hole is variable. The magnet includes four polarities. The polarities of the magnet are relatively distributed along a direction surrounding the optical axis and a direction parallel to the optical axis, respectively. The coil corresponds to the magnet, and one of the magnet and the coil is disposed on the rotating element. The magnet and the coil are disposed along the direction parallel to the optical axis.

  • Patent number: 11960141
    Abstract: Provided is a lens assembly driving module including a photographing lens assembly, a first driving mechanism and a second driving mechanism. The photographing lens assembly includes N lens elements and has an optical axis passing through the N lens elements. The first driving mechanism drives at least N/2 said lens elements to move along the optical axis of the photographing lens assembly. The second driving mechanism enables a relative distance along the optical axis of two adjacent ones of the N lens elements to vary. Therefore, any specific one of the lens elements is capable of being driven to optimize optical imaging resolution of various fields of view independently within a real shot at different object distances.
