  • Publication number: 20240096297
    Abstract: In some examples, a controller of a wearable device causes display by the wearable device of a test image, and adjusts a color property of the displayed test image. In response to an input provided by a user responsive to the displayed test image as the color property is adjusted, the controller determines a distribution of color wavelengths for an eye of the user, and detects a color vision deficiency of the user based on the determined distribution of color wavelengths. The controller provides control information to control a display device of the wearable device to compensate for the color vision deficiency.

  • Publication number: 20240069304
    Abstract: A voice coil motor held immobile by magnetic attraction when not in use for photography purposes includes a base, a magnet fixed thereto, a carrier, a magnetic member, and a coil. The magnetic member is fixed to the carrier and is attracted by a permanent magnetic field (first MF) of the magnet on the base. The coil is fixed to the carrier and the magnetic member. When the voice coil motor is powered on, the coil generates a second magnetic field (second MF) opposing the first MF. The second MF reduces or eliminates the attractive force of the first MF of the magnet, to separate the carrier and its fittings and allow them to work freely. A lens module and an electronic device are further provided.
