CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129609 titled 'CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a camera that includes a casing, lenses, a reflective member, and an image sensor.

  • The camera includes lenses with positive refractive power, forming two optical axes.
  • A reflective member is aligned with the optical axes and can rotate in response to disturbance.
  • An image sensor is positioned to receive the optical signal and generate an electrical signal.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices that require compact and efficient camera systems.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of stabilizing images in electronic devices by using a reflective member to compensate for disturbances.

Benefits

The patent application does not provide specific details on the mechanism or technology used to rotate the reflective member in response to disturbance.

What is the expected impact of this technology on the electronic device market?

The patent application does not discuss the potential market impact or consumer demand for electronic devices equipped with this camera technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

in certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a housing; and a camera at least partially disposed in the housing, wherein the camera includes: a casing; a first one or more lenses at least partially disposed inside a first part of the casing that is at least partially exposed to outside of the housing, the first one or more lenses having positive refractive power, wherein the first one or more lenses forms a first optical axis; a second one or more lenses disposed inside a second part of the casing that is disposed inside the housing forming a second optical axis substantially perpendicular to the first optical axis; a reflective member disposed inside the second part of the casing and substantially aligned with the first optical axis and the second optical axis, the reflective member being configured to rotate about one or more rotational axes perpendicular or parallel to the first optical axis in response to disturbance; and an image sensor disposed on the second optical axis, the image sensor being configured to receive an optical signal passing through the second one or more lenses and generate an electrical signal based on the optical signal.
