CAMERA MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18641780 titled 'CAMERA MODULE
The camera module described in the patent application consists of a first lens group, a first optical path folding unit, a second lens group, and a second optical path folding unit. These components are arranged sequentially from the object side of the first lens group towards the imaging plane of the camera module.
- The first optical path folding unit includes a first fixed reflective member and a first movable reflective member that can adjust the length of the optical path between the first and second lens groups.
- The second optical path folding unit includes a second fixed reflective member and a second movable reflective member that can vary the length of the optical path between the second lens group and the imaging plane.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various types of cameras, including smartphones, digital cameras, and surveillance cameras. - It can also be applied in medical imaging devices, scientific instruments, and industrial inspection systems.
Problems Solved: - The camera module allows for compact design without compromising image quality. - The adjustable optical path folding units provide flexibility in focusing and capturing images.
Benefits: - Improved image quality and resolution. - Compact and versatile design for different camera applications. - Enhanced flexibility in adjusting the optical path length.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Camera Module Technology for Enhanced Imaging This technology can be utilized in the development of high-quality cameras for consumer electronics, medical devices, scientific research, and industrial imaging systems. The compact design and adjustable optical path folding units offer a competitive edge in the market.
Questions about Camera Module Technology: 1. How does the adjustable optical path folding unit contribute to the overall performance of the camera module? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of implementing this technology in camera manufacturing processes?
Original Abstract Submitted
A camera module includes a first lens group; a first optical path folding unit; a second lens group; and a second optical path folding unit. The first lens group, the first optical path folding unit, the second lens group, and the second optical path folding unit are sequentially disposed from an object side of the first lens group toward an imaging plane of the camera module. The first optical path folding unit includes a first fixed reflective member and a first movable reflective member configured to vary a length of an optical path between the first lens group and the second lens group, and the second optical path folding unit includes a second fixed reflective member and a second movable reflective member configured to vary a length of an optical path between the second lens group and an imaging plane.
