This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17908873 titled 'APERTURE DEVICE, CAMERA MODULE WITH APERTURE DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an aperture device for a camera module that controls the amount of light entering the lens.
- The device includes a diaphragm plate with an aperture opening that can be changed between an aperture position and a retracted position.
- In the aperture position, the diaphragm plate is on the lens and the center of the aperture opening aligns with the optical axis of the lens.
- In the retracted position, the diaphragm plate is moved away from the lens.
Original Abstract Submitted
An aperture device for setting an amount of light incident on a lens of a camera module is provided. The aperture device includes: a diaphragm plate exhibiting a plate shape and formed with an aperture opening penetrating the diaphragm plate in a plate surface direction; and a configuration-changing mechanism for changing a configuration of the diaphragm plate to an aperture position or a retracted position, where the aperture position is a position where the diaphragm plate is on the lens and a center of the aperture opening is configured in a position corresponding to an optical axis of the lens, and the retracted position is a position where the diaphragm plate is retracted from the lens.
