BLUR CORRECTION DEVICE, LENS BARREL, AND IMAGING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18289909 titled 'BLUR CORRECTION DEVICE, LENS BARREL, AND IMAGING APPARATUS

The patent application describes a blur correction device that includes a lens holding frame, a holding frame that movably holds the lens holding frame, a first drive unit, a lock member, and a detection unit.

  • The device corrects blur by moving the lens holding frame with respect to the holding frame in a direction intersecting an optical axis.
  • A lock member restricts movement of the lens holding frame in a lock position and releases the restriction in a release position.
  • A detection unit detects the amount of movement of the lock member.

Potential Applications:

  • Camera lenses
  • Microscopes
  • Telescopes

Problems Solved:

  • Correcting blur in optical devices
  • Enhancing image quality

Benefits:

  • Improved image sharpness
  • Enhanced optical performance

Commercial Applications:

  • Photography equipment manufacturers
  • Optical instrument companies

Questions about Blur Correction Device: 1. How does the lock member restrict movement in the device? 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this technology?

Frequently Updated Research: Research on advanced lens stabilization techniques for optical devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A blur correction device includes a lens holding frame that holds a lens, a holding frame that movably holds the lens holding frame, a first drive unit that drives the lens holding frame with respect to the holding frame in a direction intersecting an optical axis, a lock member configured to move between a lock position that restricts movement of the lens holding frame and a release position that releases restriction, and a detection unit configured to detect an amount of movement of the lock member.
