  • Publication number: 20090303333
    Abstract: The invention provides an image detecting module including a base, a carrier movably disposed on the base, an image detecting unit, a driving unit, and a magnetic device fixed to the base, corresponding to the driving unit. The image detecting unit is fixed to one of the carrier and the base, and the driving unit is disposed fixed to the other of the carrier and the base. The carrier is substantially parallel to a plane, and the driving unit includes a coil to produce a variable induced magnetic force between the coil and the magnetic device. The driving unit and the magnetic device both have an angle with respect to the plane. The carrier and the image detecting unit are moved with respect to the base by the induced magnetic force between the coil and the magnetic device.

  • Patent number: 7486881
    Abstract: An image detection module comprises a base, a seat movably disposed on the base, an image detection unit on the seat, a first guide member by which the seat is joined to the base, moving relative to the base, a first coil on either the base or the seat, a first magnet on either the base or the seat and opposite to the first coil, a first auxiliary magnet on either the base or the seat, corresponding to the first magnet and the first coil between the first magnet an the first auxiliary magnet, and a first Hall element on either the base or the seat and adjacent to the first coil. A magnetic force is generated between the first coil, the first magnet and the first auxiliary magnet by a voltage provided to the first coil, moving the seat along the first axis along the first guide element.

  • Patent number: 7457063
    Abstract: A color filter assembly rotates around a central axis thereof and includes a carrier defining a radially extending holes, a color filter fixed to the carrier, and a balancing element movably received and selectively positionable along each hole. Selectively positioning the balancing with respect to the central axis allows for statically balancing of mass and adjustment of the center of mass thereby enhancing rotation stability of the color filter assembly.

  • Patent number: 6914734
    Abstract: A color filter assembly. The color filter assembly rotates around a central axis and includes a first carrier, a second carrier, a protrusion and a color filter. The first carrier has a first contact surface and a first joining portion protruding therefrom. The second carrier has a second contact surface and a second joining portion connected to the first joining portion. The protrusion is disposed on the first or second contact surface. The color filter has an opening with the protrusion inserted therein such that the color filter is fixed between the first and second carriers.
