  • Patent number: 10965870
    Abstract: An image capturing module having multiple lenses, in which primary driving magnets of auto-focus module equipped in a first lens module and a second lens module will not cover an adjacent surface located between these two lens modules in the same time. A relatively smaller magnet is used to be the auxiliary driving magnet of optical image stabilization (OIS) module equipped in the first lens module and the second lens module. By using the aforementioned configuration of the primary and auxiliary driving magnets, interference of magnetic fields is minimized, and thus the distance between the first and second lens modules can be decreased, and the space of mobile phone having the image capturing module is saved. Moreover, such configuration can be used on the image capturing module having many lens modules.

  • Publication number: 20200333556
    Abstract: A moving-coil closed-loop auto-focusing module with low magnetic interference includes an upper cover, a base frame, a lens module, an elastic module, at least one coil, at least one pair of two opposing driving magnets, an external circuit and at least one sensor magnet. The coil surrounds the lens module. The two driving magnets are located individually at respective lateral sides of the base frame in correspondence with the coil. The external circuit located under the base frame includes an image-sensing element and at least one sensor. The sensor magnet is mounted peripherally to the lens module, and has magnetic lines parallel to the optical image-capturing axis, such that a magnetizing surface of the sensor magnet can face downward to align the sensor on the external circuit. Thereupon, the lens module can be controlled to displace along an optical image-capturing axis in a closed-loop manner.
