  • Patent number: 8896945
    Abstract: A barrel driving mechanism and an image pickup device thereof. The barrel driving mechanism comprises a fixing-barrel, a driving-barrel and a moving-barrel. The fixing-barrel has a first groove with a first stop-position and a first position. The driving-barrel disposed in the fixing-barrel has a second groove with a second stop-position and a second position. The driving-barrel has a first guiding protrusion inserted into the first groove. The moving-barrel disposed in the driving-barrel having a second guiding protrusion is inserted into the second groove. Wherein, the first stop-position to the first position and the second stop-position to the second position are slanted grooves. When the driving-barrel is rotated, the driving-barrel shifts a first axial distance and the moving-barrel shifts a second axial distance. The sum of the first axial distance and the second axial distance equals the total displacement of the moving barrel.

  • Patent number: 8478120
    Abstract: A camera lens and an image capturing device using the same. The camera lens comprises a lens-barrel fixing-base, a driving barrel, a focusing lens-barrel and an elastic member. The lens-barrel fixing-base has a hollow part, which has a first supporting part. The first supporting part has a connecting part. The driving barrel has a groove formed at an inner wall of the driving barrel. The focusing lens-barrel has a guiding part, which is inserted into the groove for allowing the focusing lens-barrel to be axially moved in the driving barrel. The focusing lens-barrel has a second supporting part. The elastic member is a hollow-ring structure setting between the lens-barrel fixing-base and the focusing lens-barrel. One end of the elastic member is positioned against the first supporting part and the another end of the elastic member is positioned against the second supporting part.

  • Publication number: 20130113062
    Abstract: A lens holder, a method for manufacturing the same and an image capturing device thereof. The lens holder comprises a hollow substrate, a filter, a hollow elastomer and a photodetector module. The hollow substrate comprises a photodetector accommodating space and a plurality of fixing mechanisms disposed around the photodetector accommodating space. The filter is disposed inside the photodetector accommodating space and covers a hollow section of the hollow substrate. The hollow elastomer is disposed on the filter. The photodetector module is disposed on the hollow elastomer and comprises a photodetector and a substrate. The substrate can be fixed onto the hollow substrate through the plurality of fixing mechanisms. Wherein, a plurality of protrusion parts extends from the hollow elastomer for holding the substrate. The aforementioned lens holder structure can be used to perform a tilt alignment of the photodetector efficiently.
