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.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enables precise and accurate positioning of optical elements.
  • Provides efficient and effective driving of the holding part.
  • Enhances the performance and functionality of optical devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and precision in optical element positioning.
  • Increased efficiency and performance of optical devices.
  • Enhanced functionality and control in optical systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

an optical element driving device includes: a holding part configured to hold an optical element; a housing part configured to house the holding part such that the holding part is movable in an optical path direction of the optical element; a driving part including a piezoelectric element configured to drive the holding part; an inductor configured to increase an input voltage to the piezoelectric element; and a position sensor configured to acquire a relative position of the holding part and the housing part in the optical path direction by detecting a magnetic force of a magnet. in regions defined by dividing the holding part and the housing part into equal quarters around an optical axis, the driving part and the position sensor are disposed in a same region, and the inductor is disposed in a region different from the same region.
