  • Publication number: 20230324646
    Abstract: A camera module includes a first lens barrel holding a first lens group, a second lens barrel holding a second lens group, and a lens driver holding the perimeter of the second lens barrel to move the second lens group in a direction along a first optical axis of the second lens group. The size of the lens driver in a direction intersecting with the first optical axis (302) is smaller than the size of the first lens barrel in the direction intersecting with the first optical axis.

  • Publication number: 20230288617
    Abstract: An optical system includes the following: a first lens group including two or more lenses, having a positive power as a whole, and configured to pass object light; and a variable-focal-length lens configured to receive the object light that has passed through the first lens group, and capable of changing a focal length. An object that emits the object light undergoes focusing based on a power change in the variable-focal-length lens.

  • Patent number: 10634875
    Abstract: It is possible to (i) cause a sixth lens to more effectively correct various aberrations and (ii) make an optical overall length shorter. A first lens (L1) has positive refractive power. A fifth lens (L5) and a sixth lens (L6) each have negative refractive power. An object-side surface (L1F) of the first lens (L1) is a convex surface. At least one of an object-side surface and an image plane-side surface of each of a second lens (L2), a third lens (L3), a fourth lens (L4), and the fifth lens (L5) is an aspheric surface. An object-side surface (L6F) of the sixth lens (L6) is a concave surface and is an aspheric surface. An image plane-side surface (L6R) of the sixth lens (L6) is an optically planar surface throughout a region corresponding to an effective diameter of the image plane-side surface (L6R) of the sixth lens (L6).
