  • Patent number: 7450321
    Abstract: A lens module including a guide rod set, a first lens barrel movably disposed on the guide rod set, at least one first lens disposed inside the first lens barrel, a first optical grating connected to the first lens barrel, a first position sensor, and a first voice coil motor is provided. The first position sensor and the first voice coil motor are disposed near the first lens barrel. The first position sensor has a first light-emitting device and a first photosensor opposite to each other, and the first grating is disposed between the first light-emitting device and the first photosensor. Further, a first coil unit of the first voice coil motor is connected to the first lens barrel. When a current is provided into the first coil unit, the first lens barrel is driven to move alone the guide rod set by the first coil unit.

  • Publication number: 20070274699
    Abstract: A lens module including a guide set, a lens set, a magnet and an electromagnetic winding set is provided. The lens set is movably disposed on the guide set, and the magnet is disposed on the lens set. The electromagnetic winding set is disposed at the side of the lens set and adjacent to the magnet. The electromagnetic winding set and the magnet are suitable for generating an electromagnetic force for controlling the movement of the magnet. By the movement of the magnet, the lens set is driven to move along the guide set.
