OPTICAL ELEMENT DRIVING DEVICE, CAMERA MODULE, AND CAMERA-MOUNTED DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045311 titled 'OPTICAL ELEMENT DRIVING DEVICE, CAMERA MODULE, AND CAMERA-MOUNTED DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an optical element driving device that includes a holding part, a housing part, a driving part, an inductor, and a position sensor.
- The holding part is designed to hold an optical element.
- The housing part is responsible for housing the holding part and allowing it to move in the optical path direction of the optical element.
- The driving part consists of a piezoelectric element that drives the holding part.
- The inductor is used to increase the input voltage to the piezoelectric element.
- The position sensor detects the magnetic force of a magnet to acquire the relative position of the holding part and the housing part in the optical path direction.
The key points of the patent/innovation are:
- The device allows for precise control and movement of an optical element.
- The use of a piezoelectric element provides efficient driving of the holding part.
- The inductor increases the input voltage to enhance the performance of the piezoelectric element.
- The position sensor accurately detects the relative position of the holding part and the housing part.
- The arrangement of the driving part and the position sensor in the same region improves the overall functionality of the device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Optical instruments and devices that require precise movement and control of optical elements.
- Microscopy and imaging systems.
- Laser systems and optical communication devices.
