The embodiment of the present application provides a lens assembly 100, which may be applied to an optical imaging system 200 (as shown in fig. 15 and 16), for example, the optical imaging system 200 of an electronic device 400 (as shown in fig. 20) with a photographing function, such as a camera, a camera phone, a vehicle data recorder, an in-vehicle camera, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a smart bracelet, a smart watch, an e-reader, smart glasses, a security device, a monitoring device, and a visible doorbell.
Referring to fig. 1-3, the present application provides a lens assembly 100, which includes a carrier layer 10, a zoom layer 30, a flexible layer 50, and an actuator 70. The bearing layer 10 is provided with a first surface 11, and the first surface 11 is a curved surface; the zoom layer 30 is disposed on the first surface 11 of the carrier layer 10; the flexible layer 50 is arranged on the side of the zoom layer 30 away from the bearing layer 10; the actuator 70 is carried on the flexible layer 50, and the actuator 70 is configured to drive the flexible layer 50 to deform, so as to drive the zoom layer 30 to elastically deform, so as to change the focal length of the lens assembly 100.
The first surface 11 is curved, it being understood that the first surface 11 is non-planar.
The zoom layer 30 is disposed on the first surface 11 of the carrier layer 10, and the zoom layer 30 may be directly disposed on the first surface 11 and bonded to the first surface 11; it is also possible that the zoom layer 30 is disposed above the first surface 11, and another light-transmitting member, such as optical adhesive (OCA adhesive) or the like, may be disposed between the zoom layer 30 and the first surface 11, and the zoom layer 30 is attached to the first surface 11 by the optical adhesive.
The flexible layer 50 is arranged on the side of the zoom layer 30 away from the bearing layer 10; the flexible layer 50 may be disposed close to the surface of the carrier layer 10 away from the zoom layer 30, and directly bonded to the surface of the carrier layer 10 away from the zoom layer 30, or disposed at an interval between the flexible layer 50 and the surface of the carrier layer 10 away from the zoom layer 30, and further disposed with other light-transmitting members, such as optical cement (OCA cement), and the flexible layer 50 is attached to the surface of the zoom layer 30 through the optical cement.
When the lens assembly 100 is applied to the optical imaging system 200, the flexible layer 50 is closer to the object side of the optical imaging system 200 than the zoom layer 30, in other words, the zoom layer 30 is closer to the image side of the optical imaging system 200 than the flexible layer 50, and light (such as a dotted arrow in fig. 2 and 3) is incident from the flexible layer 50 side of the lens assembly 100, passes through the flexible layer 50, the zoom layer 30 and the carrier layer 10 in sequence, and exits from the side of the carrier layer 10 away from the flexible layer 50, and the light is refracted when passing between each two adjacent layer structures, and by controlling the surface type of the first surface 11 and the surface type of the flexible layer 50 away from the zoom layer 30, the lens assembly 100 can be controlled to converge light to form a convex lens, and the lens assembly 100 can be controlled to diverge light to form a concave lens. When it is necessary to change the focal length of the lens assembly 100, the actuator 70 is activated, and the actuator 70 applies a compressive force or a tensile force to at least a portion of the flexible layer 50, so that the flexible layer is bent by the actuator 70, thereby pressing the variable focal length layer 30, and elastically deforming the variable focal length layer 30, thereby changing the path of light propagation and changing the focal length of the lens assembly 100. By controlling the magnitude of the compressive force or the tensile force applied by the actuator 70 and the position on which the compressive force or the tensile force acts, the flexible layer 50 can be deformed in different degrees and different forms, so that the zoom layer 30 is deformed in different degrees and different forms under the action of the flexible layer 50, thereby controlling the focal length of the lens assembly 100.
Lens assembly 100 of the present embodiment carries layer 10, zoom layer 30, flexible layer 50, and actuator 70. The carrier layer 10 has a first surface 11, the first surface 11 is a curved surface, which enables the lens assembly 100 to have a certain light-focusing effect or a certain light-diverging effect when the actuator 70 is not activated, so as to have a certain focal power, when the actuator 70 is activated, the flexible layer 50 and the zoom layer 30 deform, and the surface of the flexible layer 50 away from the zoom layer 30 forms a curved surface type, the first surface 11 is a curved surface, which enables the surface of the flexible layer 50 away from the zoom layer 30 to form a larger curvature (i.e. a smaller curvature radius), so that by controlling the position, direction, magnitude, etc. of the force applied by the actuator 70 to the flexible layer 50, the light-transmitting assembly can have a larger focal power range, so as to have a larger focal length variation range. In addition, under the condition of the same structure and material, when the first surface 11 is a curved surface, a larger curvature can be brought compared with the case that the first surface 11 is a plane, so that the lens assembly 100 with a larger focal length variation range and a larger clear aperture can be obtained.
The term "focal power" herein characterizes the ability of an optical system to deflect light rays. The focal power includes a positive focal power and a negative focal power. The term "Clear Aperture" in the present application refers to the diameter of a circular hole in a camera, which is created in the center of the lens by an iris diaphragm (blade group) when the diaphragm is adjusted.
The lens assembly 100 has an optical axis, which is indicated by the dashed line O-O in FIG. 2 for the lens assembly 100. The optical axis of the lens assembly 100 of the present application is parallel to the stacking direction of the carrier layer 10, the zoom layer 30 and the flexible layer 50. The term "optical axis" in this application refers to the center line of a light beam (column), or the axis of symmetry of an optical system.
Optionally, the focal length f of the lens assembly 100 ranges from-200 mm < f < -5mm, or 2mm < f < 100 mm. In particular, the focal length f of the lens assembly 100 may be, but is not limited to, -200mm, -180mm, -150mm, -120mm, -100mm, -80mm, -50mm, -20mm, -10mm, -5mm, 2mm, 5mm, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 60mm, 100mm, etc. The focal length f of the lens assembly 100 can be changed within the range of-200 mm to f less than-5 mm, or within the range of 2mm to f less than 100mm, so that the lens assembly has a large focal length change range, can have a large focusing range when being applied to a camera, can be suitable for shooting objects with different depths of field, and better meets the requirements of users. In addition, when the lens assembly 100 of the present application is applied to the optical imaging system 200, the lens assembly can also be applied to macro photography, so as to obtain a larger image magnification. For example, a shooting distance of less than 10cm, or a shooting distance of less than 5 cm.
Optionally, the clear aperture D of the lens assembly 100 is in a range of 1.5mm ≦ D ≦ 7 mm. Further, the range of the clear aperture D of the lens assembly 100 is greater than or equal to 3mm and less than or equal to 7 mm. Still further, the range of the clear aperture D of the lens assembly 100 is greater than or equal to 5mm and less than or equal to 7 mm. Specifically, the clear aperture D of the lens assembly 100 may be, but is not limited to, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.7mm, 7mm, and the like. The lens assembly 100 of the present application is structured such that both a lens assembly 100 having a relatively small clear aperture can be obtained, and a lens assembly 100 having a relatively large clear aperture (e.g., greater than 4mm, greater than 6mm, etc.) can be obtained. In addition, when a camera with a large clear aperture is manufactured, the focal length of the lens assembly 100 is not reduced.
Optionally, the carrier layer 10 is light transmissive. The material of the carrier layer 10 may be, but is not limited to, at least one of Polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and glass. It is understood that the carrier layer 10 has a certain rigidity to provide sufficient support, and the rigidity of the carrier layer 10 does not change the shape of the first surface 11 at least when the zoom layer 30 is elastically deformed by being pressed.
Alternatively, the carrier layer 10 may be formed by molding, injection molding, or the like to obtain the first surface 11 with a predetermined shape. In addition, the carrier layer 10 may also be formed by forming the first surface 11 with a predetermined shape on the planar structure by using a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) or a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the first surface 11 may be a spherical surface, an aspherical surface, or a free-form surface. Alternatively, the first surface 11 may be convex or concave. It is understood that when the first surface 11 is convex, the first surface 11 is convex toward the direction close to the zoom layer 30; when the first surface 11 is concave, the first surface 11 is concave toward a direction away from the zoom layer 30. By varying the surface type of the first surface 11, in combination with the control of the actuator 70, more types of lens assemblies 100 can be obtained, such as convex lenses with a light-gathering effect, and concave lenses with a diverging effect.
The term "aspherical" in this application refers to the face of a rotationally symmetric aspherical surface. The term "free-form surface" in this application refers to a non-rotationally symmetric aspheric surface.
Optionally, the first surface 11 is a convex surface or a concave surface at the optical axis, and the first surface 11 is a spherical surface, an aspheric surface, or a free-form surface.

In the examples of the present application, when referring to the numerical ranges a to b, the endpoint values a are included and the endpoint values b are included, if not specifically indicated. For example, the thickness of the flexible layer 50 may be 20 μm to 100 μm, which means that the thickness of the flexible layer 50 may be any value between 20 μm to 100 μm, inclusive of the end point 20 μm and the end point 100 μm.
In some embodiments, the flexible layer 50 may be circular in shape; in other words, the shape of the flexible layer 50 along a cross-section perpendicular to the optical axis.

When the radius of curvature of the second surface 51 is greater than 200mm, the light converging effect or the light diverging effect of the lens assembly 100 is too small, and when the radius of curvature of the second surface 51 is less than 50mm, the second surface 51 is too curved, and when the lens assembly is applied to the optical imaging system 200, the spherical aberration is too large, so that the edge distortion is increased.

In some embodiments, carrier layer 10, zoom layer 30, and flexible layer 50 are connected in sequence.

The closer the refractive index of the zoom layer 30 is to that of the carrier layer 10, the more convenient it is to form the lens assembly 100 with a single optical surface.
Alternatively, the refractive index n2 of the zoom layer 30 may be 1.1 to 2.0. Specifically, it may be, but not limited to, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, etc.
Optionally, the refractive index n3 of the flexible layer 50 is between 95% and 105% of the refractive index n2 of the zoom layer 30. In other words, the refractive index n3 of the flexible layer 50 is within ± 5% of the refractive index n2 of the zoom layer 30. In particular, the refractive index n3 of the flexible layer 50 may be, but is not limited to, 95% n2, 96% n2, 97% n2, 98% n2, 99% n2, n2, 101% n2, 102% n2, 103% n2, 104% n2, 105% n2, and the like.

In some embodiments, carrier layer 10, zoom layer 30, flexible layer 50, and actuator 70 are coaxially disposed and all have an optical axis of lens assembly 100 as an axis of symmetry.
How the lens assembly 100 achieves zooming is further described below in various control manners.
Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, the first surface 11 is convex at the optical axis, and when the first driving element 71 is applied with a voltage to generate a first electric field E1 and the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage to generate a second electric field E2, the second surface 51 is spherical and convex toward a direction away from the zoom layer 30, wherein the direction of the first electric field is directed from a side of the first driving element 71 away from the flexible layer 50 to a side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50 (as shown by an arrow E1 in fig. 8); the direction of the second electric field is from the side of the second driving component 73 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving component 73 close to the flexible layer 50 (as shown by arrow E2 in fig. 8). At this time, the state of the lens assembly 100 is referred to as a first state.
Specifically, when the first driving assembly 71 is loaded with a voltage to generate a first electric field, and the second driving assembly 73 is loaded with a voltage to generate a second electric field, the first driving assembly 71 stretches the second surface 51 of the flexible layer 50 under the action of the first electric field, and the second driving assembly 73 compresses the surface of the flexible layer 50 away from the second surface 51 under the action of the second electric field, so that the second surface 51 of the flexible layer 50 is subjected to a tensile force (as shown by an arrow a in fig. 8), the surface of the flexible layer 50 away from the second surface 51 is subjected to a compressive force (as shown by an arrow b in fig. 8), and finally the flexible layer 50 is subjected to bending deformation under the combined action of the tensile force of the first driving assembly 71 and the compressive force of the second driving assembly 73, and the second surface 51 is spherical and protrudes toward a direction away from the zoom layer 30. After the flexible layer 50 is bent and deformed, the zooming layer 30 is pressed to be elastically deformed, so that the flexible layer 50, the zooming layer 30 and the bearing layer 10 are mutually matched to form the convex lens with the light-gathering effect. Therefore, by controlling the strength of the first electric field and the second electric field, the magnitude of the tensile force generated by the first driving component 71 and the magnitude of the compressive force generated by the second driving component 73 can be adjusted, so as to adjust the bending degree of the flexible layer 50 (or the curvature radius of the second surface 51), further adjust the deflection direction of the light after sequentially passing through the flexible layer 50, the zoom layer 30 and the bearing layer 10, and further adjust the parameters such as the focal length and the focal power of the lens assembly 100.
In the embodiment of fig. 8, the voltage applied by the first driving assembly 71 to generate the first electric field E1 can be realized by one of the following ways: for example, the first electrode 711 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a positive voltage of 50V, and the second electrode 715 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), so as to generate a first electric field E1 directed from the side of the first driving element 71 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a positive voltage of 80V, and the second electrode 715 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a positive voltage of 30V, so as to generate a first electric field E1 directed from the side of the first driving element 71 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), the second electrode 715 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a negative voltage of-50V, so as to generate a first electric field E1 directed from the side of the first driving element 71 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50, and so on. The positive, negative and numerical values of the voltages applied to the first electrode 711 of the first driving element 71 and the second electrode 715 of the first driving element 71 can be designed according to the surface shape, the curvature radius, and the like of the second surface 51, and the present application is not limited in particular.
In the embodiment of fig. 8, the application of the voltage by the second driving component 73 to generate the second electric field E2 can be realized by one of the following methods: for example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), and the second electrode 715 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage of 50V, so as to generate a second electric field E2 which is directed from the side of the second driving element 73 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving element 73 close to the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving component 73 is applied with a positive voltage of 30V, and the second electrode 715 of the second driving component 73 is applied with a positive voltage of 80V, so as to generate a second electric field E2 directed from the side of the second driving component 73 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving component 73 close to the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a negative voltage of-50V, the second electrode 715 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e., grounded), so as to generate a second electric field E2 directed from the side of the second driving element 73 away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving element 73 close to the flexible layer 50, and so on. The positive, negative and numerical values of the voltages applied to the first electrode 711 of the second driving assembly 73 and the second electrode 715 of the first driving assembly 71 can be designed according to the surface shape, the curvature radius, and the like of the second surface 51, and the present application is not limited in particular.
Referring to fig. 9, in some embodiments, the first surface 11 is convex at the optical axis, when the first driving element 71 applies a voltage to generate a third electric field E3, and the second driving element 73 applies a voltage to generate a fourth electric field E4, the second surface 51 is aspheric, and the second surface 51 protrudes away from the zoom layer 30 at the optical axis, wherein the direction of the third electric field is directed from the side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the first driving element 71 away from the flexible layer 50 (as shown by an arrow E3 in fig. 9); the direction of the fourth electric field is directed from the side of the second driving component 73 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving component 73 close to the flexible layer 50 (as shown by arrow E4 in fig. 9). At this time, the state of the lens assembly 100 is referred to as a second state.
Specifically, when the first driving assembly 71 is applied with a voltage to generate a third electric field and the second driving assembly 73 is applied with a voltage to generate a fourth electric field, the first driving assembly 71 compresses the second surface 51 of the flexible layer 50 under the action of the first electric field, and the second driving assembly 73 compresses the surface of the flexible layer 50 away from the second surface 51 under the action of the second electric field, so that the second surface 51 of the flexible layer 50 is subjected to a compressive force (as shown by an arrow a in fig. 9), the surface of the flexible layer 50 away from the second surface 51 is also subjected to a compressive force (as shown by an arrow b in fig. 9), and finally the flexible layer 50 is subjected to bending deformation under the combined action of the compressive force of the first driving assembly 71 and the compressive force of the second driving assembly 73, and the second surface 51 is aspheric and protrudes in a direction away from the zoom layer 30. After the flexible layer 50 is bent and deformed, the flexible layer 50 presses the zooming layer 30 to be elastically deformed, so that the flexible layer 50, the zooming layer 30 and the carrier layer 10 cooperate with each other to form an aspheric convex lens with a light-focusing effect. The direction of the first electric field E1 is the same as the direction of the second electric field E2, and the directions of the first electric field E1 and the second electric field E2 are both from the zoom layer 30 toward the flexible layer 50 along the optical axis. Therefore, by controlling the intensity of the first electric field and the second electric field, the magnitude of the compressive force generated by the first driving component 71 and the magnitude of the compressive force generated by the second driving component 73 can be adjusted, so as to adjust the bending degree of the flexible layer 50 (or the curvature radius of the second surface 51), further adjust the deflection direction of the light after sequentially passing through the flexible layer 50, the zoom layer 30 and the bearing layer 10, and further adjust the parameters of the lens assembly 100, such as the focal length and the focal power.
In the embodiment of fig. 9, the voltage applied by the first driving assembly 71 to generate the third electric field E3 can be realized by one of the following methods: for example, the first electrode 711 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), and the second electrode 715 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a positive voltage of 50V, so as to generate a third electric field E3 directed from the side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the first driving element 71 away from the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the first driving element 71 is loaded with a positive voltage of 30V, and the second electrode 715 of the first driving element 71 is loaded with a positive voltage of 80V, so as to generate a third electric field E3 directed from the side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the first driving element 71 away from the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a negative voltage of-50V, the second electrode 715 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), so as to generate a third electric field E3 directed from the side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the first driving element 71 away from the flexible layer 50, and so on. The positive, negative and numerical values of the voltages applied to the first electrode 711 of the first driving element 71 and the second electrode 715 of the first driving element 71 can be designed according to the surface shape, the curvature radius, and the like of the second surface 51, and the present application is not limited in particular.
In the embodiment of fig. 9, the fourth electric field E4 generated by the second driving component 73 applying voltage can be realized by one of the following methods: for example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), and the second electrode 715 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage of 50V, so as to generate a fourth electric field E4 directed from the side of the second driving element 73 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving element 73 close to the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving component 73 is applied with a positive voltage of 30V, and the second electrode 715 of the second driving component 73 is applied with a positive voltage of 80V, so as to generate a fourth electric field E4 directed from the side of the second driving component 73 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving component 73 close to the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a negative voltage of-50V, the second electrode 715 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), so as to generate a fourth electric field E4, etc. from the side of the second driving element 73 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving element 73 close to the flexible layer 50. The positive, negative and numerical values of the voltages applied to the first electrode 711 of the second driving assembly 73 and the second electrode 715 of the first driving assembly 71 can be designed according to the surface shape, the curvature radius, and the like of the second surface 51, and the present application is not limited in particular.
In one embodiment, the first surface 11 is convex at the optical axis, and the lens assembly 100 has a first focal length when neither the first driving assembly 71 nor the second driving assembly 73 is applied with a voltage; when the first driving component 71 is applied with a voltage to generate a first electric field and the second driving component 73 is applied with a voltage to generate a second electric field, the lens assembly 100 has a second focal length; when the first driving assembly 71 is applied with a voltage to generate a third electric field and the second driving assembly 73 is applied with a voltage to generate a fourth electric field, the lens assembly 100 has a third focal length, and the first focal length, the second focal length and the third focal length are different from each other. Therefore, by controlling the positive, negative and magnitude of the voltages loaded on the first driving assembly 71 and the second driving assembly 73, the lens assembly 100 can have different focal lengths, so that zooming can be performed in a larger focal length range, and application requirements of more shooting scenes can be met.
Referring to fig. 10, in some embodiments, the first surface 11 is concave at the optical axis, the flexible layer 50 has a second surface 51 far away from the zoom layer 30, when the first driving element 71 is applied with a voltage to generate a first electric field, and the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage to generate a second electric field, the second surface 51 is spherical, and the second surface 51 is concave at the optical axis toward the zoom layer 30, wherein the direction of the first electric field is directed from the side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the first driving element 71 away from the flexible layer 50 (as shown by an arrow E1 in fig. 10); the direction of the second electric field is directed from the side of the second driving assembly 73 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving assembly 73 away from the flexible layer 50 (as shown by arrow E2 in fig. 10). At this time, the state of the lens assembly 100 is referred to as a third state.
Specifically, when the first driving component 71 is loaded with a voltage to generate a first electric field, and the second driving component 73 is loaded with a voltage to generate a second electric field, the first driving component 71 compresses the second surface 51 of the flexible layer 50 under the action of the first electric field, and the second driving component 73 stretches the surface of the flexible layer 50 away from the second surface 51 under the action of the second electric field, so that the second surface 51 of the flexible layer 50 is subjected to a compressive force (as shown by arrow a in fig. 10), the surface of the flexible layer 50 away from the second surface 51 is subjected to a tensile force (as shown by arrow b in fig. 10), and finally the flexible layer 50 is subjected to a bending deformation under the combined action of the compressive force of the first driving component 71 and the tensile force of the second driving component 73, and the second surface 51 is spherical and concaved toward the direction close to the zoom layer 30. After the flexible layer 50 is deformed by bending, the zoom layer 30 is pressed to deform elastically, so that the flexible layer 50, the zoom layer 30 and the carrier layer 10 cooperate with each other to form a concave lens with a diverging effect.

For another example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving component 73 is applied with a positive voltage of 80V, and the second electrode 715 of the second driving component 73 is applied with a positive voltage of 50V, so as to generate a second electric field E2 directed from the side of the second driving component 73 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving component 73 away from the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), the second electrode 715 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a negative voltage of-50V, so as to generate a second electric field E2, etc. from the side of the second driving element 73 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving element 73 away from the flexible layer 50.

Referring to fig. 11, in some embodiments, the first surface 11 is concave at the optical axis, the flexible layer 50 has a second surface 51 far away from the zoom layer 30, when the first driving element 71 is applied with a voltage to generate a third electric field, and the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage to generate a fourth electric field, the second surface 51 is aspheric, and the second surface 51 is concave toward the direction close to the zoom layer 30 at the optical axis, wherein the direction of the third electric field is directed from the side of the first driving element far away from the flexible layer to the side of the first driving element close to the flexible layer (as shown by an arrow E3 in fig. 11); the direction of the fourth electric field is directed from the side of the second driving component near the flexible layer to the side of the second driving component facing away from the flexible layer (as shown by arrow E4 in fig. 11). At this time, the state of the lens assembly 100 is referred to as a fourth state.
Specifically, when the first driving component 71 is loaded with a voltage to generate a third electric field and the second driving component 73 is loaded with a voltage to generate a fourth electric field, the first driving component 71 stretches the second surface 51 of the flexible layer 50 under the action of the first electric field, and the second driving component 73 stretches the surface of the flexible layer 50 away from the second surface 51 under the action of the second electric field, so that the second surface 51 of the flexible layer 50 is subjected to a stretching force (as shown by an arrow a in fig. 11), the surface of the flexible layer 50 away from the second surface 51 is also subjected to a stretching force (as shown by an arrow b in fig. 11), and finally the flexible layer 50 is subjected to bending deformation under the combined action of the stretching force of the first driving component 71 and the stretching force of the second driving component 73, and the second surface 51 is aspheric and concaved toward the direction close to the zoom layer 30. After the flexible layer 50 is deformed by bending, the flexible layer 50 presses the zoom layer 30 to deform elastically, so that the flexible layer 50, the zoom layer 30 and the carrier layer 10 cooperate with each other to form an aspheric concave lens with a diverging function. The direction of the first electric field E1 is the same as the direction of the second electric field E2, and the directions of the first electric field E1 and the second electric field E2 are both from the flexible layer 50 toward the zoom layer 30 along the optical axis. Therefore, by controlling the intensities of the first electric field and the second electric field, the magnitudes of the stretching force generated by the first driving component 71 and the stretching force generated by the second driving component 73 can be adjusted, so as to adjust the bending degree of the flexible layer 50 (or the curvature radius of the second surface 51), further adjust the deflection direction of the light after sequentially passing through the flexible layer 50, the zoom layer 30 and the bearing layer 10, and further adjust the parameters such as the focal length and the focal power of the lens assembly 100.

For another example, the first electrode 711 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a positive voltage of 80V, and the second electrode 715 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a positive voltage of 30V, so as to generate a third electric field E3 directed from the side of the first driving element 71 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), the second electrode 715 of the first driving element 71 is applied with a negative voltage of-50V, so as to generate a third electric field E3, etc. from the side of the first driving element 71 facing away from the flexible layer 50 to the side of the first driving element 71 close to the flexible layer 50. The positive, negative and numerical values of the voltages applied to the first electrode 711 of the first driving assembly 71 and the second electrode 715 of the first driving assembly 71 can be designed according to the shape of the second surface 51, the radius of curvature, and the like, and the present application is not limited in particular.
In the embodiment of fig. 11, the application of the voltage to the second driving assembly 73 to generate the fourth electric field E4 can be realized by one of the following ways: for example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage of 50V, and the second electrode 715 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), so as to generate a fourth electric field E4 directed from the side of the second driving element 73 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving element 73 away from the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving component 73 is applied with a positive voltage of 80V, and the second electrode 715 of the second driving component 73 is applied with a positive voltage of 50V, so as to generate a fourth electric field E4 directed from the side of the second driving component 73 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving component 73 away from the flexible layer 50. For another example, the first electrode 711 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage of 0V (i.e. grounded), the second electrode 715 of the second driving element 73 is applied with a negative voltage of-50V, so as to generate a fourth electric field E4, etc. from the side of the second driving element 73 close to the flexible layer 50 to the side of the second driving element 73 away from the flexible layer 50. The positive, negative and numerical values of the voltages applied to the first electrode 711 of the second driving assembly 73 and the second electrode 715 of the first driving assembly 71 can be designed according to the surface shape, the curvature radius, and the like of the second surface 51, and the present application is not limited in particular.
In one embodiment, the first surface 11 is concave at the optical axis, and the lens assembly 100 has a first focal length when neither the first driving element 71 nor the second driving element 73 is applied with a voltage; when the first driving assembly 71 is applied with a voltage to generate a first electric field and the second driving assembly 73 is applied with a voltage to generate a second electric field, the lens assembly 100 has a second focal length; when the first driving assembly 71 is applied with a voltage to generate a third electric field and the second driving assembly 73 is applied with a voltage to generate a fourth electric field, the lens assembly 100 has a third focal length, and the first focal length, the second focal length and the third focal length are different from each other. Therefore, by controlling the positive, negative and magnitude of the voltages loaded on the first driving assembly 71 and the second driving assembly 73, the lens assembly 100 can have different focal lengths, so that zooming can be performed in a larger focal length range, and application requirements of more shooting scenes can be met.
