Description

Camera module with illumination function

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of camera modules, in particular to a camera module with an illumination function.

Background

As the smart phone market matures, the user's need for higher quality images and higher zoom magnification is also increasing. In the prior art, one or more camera modules are integrated in the equipment to improve the image quality, and for the model of a general flagship, a long-focus camera module, a wide-angle camera module, a common camera module (equivalent 25mm main camera) and the like are required to be integrated to realize long-focus shooting, wide-angle shooting and common shooting requirements.

In order to increase the focal length of the image capturing module, it is necessary to further increase the total optical length (TTL) of the lens for the telephoto image capturing module, and the lens having a larger total optical length is difficult to be accommodated in the inner space of the body, so for implementing multi-shot zoom shooting, it may be necessary to add a folded optical device or a planar reflection optical device in the telephoto image capturing module to form the periscope type image capturing module, but the folded optical device turns the light, but the aperture and the optical aperture are relatively small, which affects the imaging effect; meanwhile, the larger the zoom ratio of the camera module is, the larger the rear focus of the lens is often needed, so that the transverse size of the camera module is larger.

In the prior art, the folding optical design is limited by folding an optical path, the diameter of a lens is not allowed to be too large by the height of a camera body, so that the light entering aperture of a lens in a periscope type camera module is limited, the smaller light entering aperture can cause more noise in the image imaging process, and meanwhile, the smaller light entering aperture can cause insufficient light entering quantity to influence the imaging quality.

In the prior art, due to the fact that the periscope type camera shooting module folds the light path, a prism/reflector, a lens, a chip and a plurality of corresponding driving elements and/or circuit boards are correspondingly needed, and welding is needed among the circuit boards. After the prism module, the lens module and the circuit board assembly module are assembled, the circuit board assembly module is also required to be packaged by a shell. Therefore, the periscope type camera module has more overall devices and more complex structure, so that the manufacturing cost is high.

In the prior art, an optical system based on a cassegrain Lin Fanshe is also used as an optical system of a tele camera module to fold a light path so as to solve some of the problems. The optical system of the cassegrain Lin Fanshe often includes a plurality of reflecting surfaces, and the light rays are reflected for a plurality of times after being incident through the light incident surface, and the reflected light rays can be further processed by the refraction element, so that a clear image is finally formed on the photosensitive chip. It can be appreciated that the optical system of the cassegrain Lin Fanshe can increase the optical path length of the optical system by the catadioptric design, so that a larger total optical length can be realized and a longer focal length optical system can be realized without increasing the total lens length. Meanwhile, most of the optical system of the cassegrain Lin Fanshe can still be in a vertical form, so that the height of the machine body cannot influence the aperture of a lens in the optical system, and further, a larger aperture can be realized, and the imaging quality is considered. The optical system of the cassegrain Lin Fanshe is not generally like a periscope type camera module, and a multi-group structure for distinguishing the prism/reflector and the optical lens is required to be subjected to the processes of multiple welding of a circuit board, assembly of discrete devices and the like, so that the assembly structure is simpler without the cost of the optical lens.

The lens of the optical system based on the cassegrain Lin Fanshe, which reduces the effects of assembly accuracy, manufacturing tolerance and use environment on product quality and imaging quality, is not considered in the prior art.

In the prior art, electronic devices such as mobile phones and the like are further provided with a floodlight for lighting, the floodlight can realize the function of supplementing light for a camera module, and the scheme in the current market generally sets the floodlight and the camera module on a transverse plane on the back of the body of the mobile phone.

In addition, because the size of the long-focus camera module is bigger, more design space of the mobile phone is occupied, and other devices are difficult to arrange, so that a module structure form with more integrated space is necessary to be provided.

The optical surface connection region 121123 is used to arrange the connection members 13 to bond the optical portion 1211 and the upper barrel portion 111, so that the connection members 13 are prevented from being disposed between the second reflecting region 121122 and the upper barrel portion 111 and from affecting the reflecting layer disposed at the second reflecting region 121122. The connection member 13 disposed between the optical surface connection region 121123 and the upper barrel portion 111 may be black, so that the risk of parasitic light caused by the connection member 13 may be reduced.

The upper barrel extension 1112 is for carrying an optical portion 1211 of the first lens 1210. The barrel upper extension surface 11121 of the upper barrel extension 1112 may have a shape similar to the light-exiting side surface 12112 of the first lens 1210 to better support and evenly distribute stresses on the first lens 1210.

Further, a second stepped groove 11121b may be formed at the junction of the lower barrel extension 1121 and the upper barrel extension 1112, and the second stepped groove 11121b may be used to accommodate the first medium 131. The first medium 131 may be disposed in the second stepped groove 11121b to fix the relative position of the lens barrel upper extension surface 11121 and the light-emitting side surface 12112 of the first lens 1210. It is understood that the first medium 131 may be disposed at any one of the first step groove 11121a and the second step groove 11121b, or may be disposed at both of them, so as to strengthen the adhesion relationship between the first lens 1210 and the upper barrel portion 111 and reduce the risk of loosening.

The upper barrel extension 1112 further has a barrel lower extension surface 11122, and the barrel lower extension surface 11122 has a stepped structure extending toward the lower barrel 112 for mating with each other when the barrel 11 is mounted to the lens moving portion 22 of the lens driving motor 20, so that the barrel lower extension surface 11122 engages with the upper surface of the lens moving portion 22.

In the assembly process, the plurality of second lenses 1220 of the second lens group 122 are assembled and fixed in the lower barrel portion 112 in sequence along the optical axis direction. It is understood that the relative positions of the first lens 1210 and the second lens group 122 can be adjusted by fixing the lower lens barrel 112 and moving the first lens 1210, or the relative positions of the first lens 1210 and the second lens group 122 can be adjusted by fixing the first lens 1210 and moving the second lens group 122. In the present embodiment, it is preferable to fix the lower barrel portion 112, and actively calibrate one or more of parameters such as curvature of field, peak value, astigmatism, back focus, etc. of the optical system in such a manner that the first lens 1210 is picked up by the lens assembly apparatus to adjust its posture and position. The connector 13 is further provided on the support top surface 11111 of the upper barrel portion 111, and/or the connector 13 is provided on the first stepped groove 11121a of the upper barrel extension 1112, and/or the connector 13 is provided on the second stepped groove 11121b of the upper barrel extension 1112. Finally, the first lens 1210 is bonded to the upper barrel portion 111 and the connecting member 13 is cured.

Specifically, in one embodiment, the lens assembly apparatus may pick up the first lens 1210 in an absorbing manner, and in order not to affect imaging, the position of absorption may be the first reflection area 121112 of the light entrance side surface 12111 of the first lens 1210, i.e. the opaque portion of the first lens 1210 is absorbed. In another embodiment, the lens assembly apparatus may pick up the first lens 1210 in a clamping manner, where the clamping position may be the structural side 12123 of the first lens 1210. Further, since the optical path design of the light reflection inside the first lens 1210 causes a change in the lens position to have a large influence on the optical path tilt, it is preferable to perform optical center alignment on the system before the active calibration operation. In some embodiments, the optical centers of the first lens 1210 and the second lens group 122 assembled in the lens barrel 11 are determined by detecting whether the brightness value of the middle pixel of the photosensitive chip 32 reaches the maximum, and the positions of the first lens 1210 are moved to make the optical axes of the first lens 1210 and the second lens group lie on the same straight line, so that the whole optical system is imaged more clearly, and then the optical system is actively calibrated, so as to further optimize the imaging definition.

The active calibration can adjust the relative positions of the first lens 1210 and the second lens group 122 in multiple degrees of freedom. Specifically, in the adjustment mode, the first lens 1210 can move along the x, y, and z directions relative to the second lens group 122 (i.e., the relative position adjustment in this embodiment has three degrees of freedom). Wherein the z-direction is a direction along the optical axis, and the x-y direction is a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. The x, y directions form an adjustment plane P in which the translation can be decomposed into two components in the x, y directions.

It should be noted that in different embodiments, the relative position adjustment may increase the rotational degree of freedom, i.e. the adjustment in the r-direction, in addition to the three translational degrees of freedom. The adjustment in the r-direction is a rotation in the adjustment plane P, i.e. about an axis or optical axis perpendicular to the adjustment plane P.

Further, the relative position adjustment mode of v and w direction adjustment is added in the active calibration of another embodiment. Wherein the v-direction represents the rotation angle of the xoz plane, the w-direction represents the rotation angle of the yoz plane, and the rotation angles of the v-direction and the w-direction may be combined to form a vector angle representing the overall tilt state. That is, by v-direction and w-direction adjustment, the relative positions of the first lens 1210 and the second lens group 122 can be adjusted in the 6-degree-of-freedom direction.

The above-mentioned adjustment of the six degrees of freedom x, y, z, r, v, w may affect the imaging quality of the optical system (for example, affect the magnitude of the resolution). In the embodiment of the present application, the relative position adjustment may be performed by adjusting only any one of the six degrees of freedom, or may be performed by combining any two or more of them. It should be noted that the content of the active calibration is described herein, and the active calibration process mentioned below is similar to the principle and the description above, and will not be repeated.

In step S4, the connecting member 13 is disposed between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 112, so that the first lens 1210 and the second lens group 122 are fixed and maintained at the relative positions determined by the active calibration.

The upper barrel extension 1113 includes an upper extension top surface 11131, an upper extension inclined surface 11132, and an upper extension bottom surface 11133, the upper extension bottom surface 11133 is provided with an engagement groove 111331, and the first lens 1210 is engaged in the engagement groove 111331. The first lens 1210 is connected to the fitting groove 111331 through the top surface 12121, so as to fix the first lens 1210 to the upper barrel portion 111, and glue is further disposed between the bottom surface 12122 of the first lens 1210 and the sidewall of the upper barrel extension portion 1112 to strengthen the fixation between the first lens 1210 and the upper barrel portion 111. In each temperature reliability test, the overall thermal expansion of the optical lens 10 is caused by the high external temperature, and the sizes of the glue, the lens barrel 11 and the first lens 1210 are changed, so that the thermal expansion coefficient of the glue is generally 90-110, the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass lens is about 10, the thermal expansion coefficient of the plastic lens is about 60, the thermal expansion coefficient of the lower lens barrel 112 is about 80, and once the plastic material is deformed under a high-temperature environment, the deformation amount is the largest. Moreover, if the first lens 1210 is a glass lens, since the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass is small, the deformation of the first lens 1210 is far smaller than the deformation of the adhesive in a high temperature environment, such as 85 ℃, which may cause the fixed position of the adhesive and the lower lens barrel 112 to deviate, and further cause the risk of the first lens 1210 falling off, so the thermal expansion coefficient of the upper lens barrel 111 is selected to be between the thermal expansion coefficient of the first lens 1210 and the thermal expansion coefficient of the lower lens barrel 112. In an embodiment of the present application, the material of the first lens 1210 is glass, the material of the lower lens barrel 112 is PC material (polycarbonate material), the thermal expansion coefficient of the upper lens barrel 111 is between the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass and the thermal expansion coefficient of the PC material (polycarbonate material), the thermal expansion coefficient of the upper lens barrel 111 ranges from 40 to 50, and glue is disposed between the bottom 12122 of the first lens 1210 and the sidewall of the upper lens barrel extension 1112, and the whole is right-angled, so that deformation of the glue caused by baking can be reduced in a high temperature environment, and thus the occurrence of the falling-off condition of the first lens 1210 caused by thermal deformation of the glue in a high temperature environment can be effectively prevented, and the production yield of the image capturing module can be improved. The upper lens barrel 111 buffers between the first lens 1210 and the lower lens barrel 112, thereby avoiding the occurrence of degumming and gumming phenomena due to the large difference of the thermal expansion coefficients of the first lens 1210 and the lower lens barrel 112.

A gap is formed between the upper barrel support portion 1111 and the lower barrel portion 112, and a connecting medium is filled in the gap to fix the upper barrel portion 111 and the lower barrel portion 112. The projection of the connection medium along the optical axis direction is located outside the projection of the first lens 1210 along the optical axis direction, and the projection of the connection medium along the optical axis direction is not overlapped with the projection of the first lens 1210 along the optical axis direction. The supporting portion bottom surface 11112 of the upper lens barrel supporting portion 1111 and the top surface of the lower lens barrel portion 112 are adhered and fixed by a connecting medium (such as glue), wherein the top surface of the lower lens barrel portion 112 is a flat surface, a lower lens barrel extending portion 1125 is provided on the top surface side of the lower lens barrel 11, the lower lens barrel extending portion 1125 extends toward the object side direction, so that the upper lens barrel supporting portion 1111 and the lower lens barrel extending portion 1125 can cooperate with each other, the relative position of the upper lens barrel portion 111 and the lower lens barrel portion 112 can be maintained at the relative position determined by active calibration, and the lower lens barrel extending portion 1125 can also facilitate clamping when assembling the camera module, preventing the camera module from falling off when assembling; the support bottom surface 11112 of the upper barrel support 1111 and the top surface of the lower barrel 112 are also provided with glue, thereby reinforcing the fixation of the upper barrel 111 and the lower barrel 112.

In the embodiment of the present application, the lower barrel 112 includes a lower barrel extension 1121 and a lower barrel body 1122. The lens barrel lower extension surface 11122 of the upper lens barrel extension 1112 and the lower inner extension top surface of the lower lens barrel inner extension 1121 have an adjustable gap, which is an adjustment margin for active calibration, and after active calibration, a connection medium 80 is disposed in the gap for fixing. The lower barrel extension 1121 has a barrel opening 1103, and the barrel opening 1103 connects the first lens accommodation chamber 1101 and the second lens accommodation chamber 1102, which is adapted to allow light to pass therethrough.

The lower barrel 112 includes a second lens receiving chamber 1102 with an inner diameter increasing from top to bottom, and a plurality of second lenses 1220 are mounted in the second lens receiving chamber 1102 from top to bottom. Here, in the embodiment of the present application, the upper side of the second lens 1220 indicates the direction of the second lens 1220 toward the object side, and the lower side of the second lens 1220 indicates the direction of the second lens 1220 toward the image side. It should be observed that the top of the second lens accommodation chamber 1102 has an opening to partially expose the second lens 1220 located at the topmost side.

Further, according to an embodiment of the present application, there is provided an assembling method of an optical lens 10, including:

Step S1, a preparation step. The upper lens barrel 111, the lower lens barrel 112, the first lens 1210 and the plurality of second lenses 1220 which are separated from each other, wherein the top surface 12121 of the first lens 1210 is first engaged with the upper lens barrel 111 through the engaging groove 111331, and then a connecting medium is applied between the bottom surface 12122 of the first lens 1210 and the upper lens barrel 111 for fixing; the plurality of second lenses 1220 are mounted to the lower barrel portion 112.

Step S2, a pre-positioning step. The upper lens barrel 111 assembled with the first lens 1210 and the lower lens barrel 112 assembled with the second lens 1220 are pre-positioned and the optical center is searched, the first group lens 15 is moved to the position with the brightest light spot, that is, the optical axis of the first group lens 15 coincides with the optical axis of the second group lens 16, so that the first lens 1210 and the plurality of second lenses 1220 together form an optical system capable of imaging more clearly.

Step S3, an active calibration step. By actively adjusting the relative position between the first lens 1210 and the second lens group 122 in at least one direction (at least one direction refers to at least one of xyz (horizontal vertical direction and uvw (directions of rotation around x, y, and z axes, respectively)) in six directions, the imaging quality (mainly including optical parameters such as back focus, aberration, and resolution) of the optical lens 10 is brought to a target value after one or more adjustments; the relative positions of the upper barrel portion 111 in which the first lens 1210 is assembled and the lower barrel portion 112 in which the second lens 1220 is assembled are adjusted and determined based on active calibration.

And S4, a bonding step. The support portion bottom surface 11112 and the lower barrel portion 112 top surface are bonded by a connecting medium so that the upper barrel portion 111 assembled with the first lens 1210 and the lower barrel portion 112 assembled with the second lens 1220 are fixed and held in the relative positions determined by active alignment.

The optical center between the lens groups is determined through translation, and then imaging quality such as back focus, aberration and resolution of the optical lens 10, and factors such as eccentricity, air gap and inclination which are unfavorable for matching precision and imaging quality are adjusted through active calibration, so that the positional relationship between the upper lens barrel portion 111 and the lower lens barrel portion 112 in the embodiment is more accurate, and the matching precision and imaging quality are remarkably improved.

The optical lens 10 further includes a protection member 14, the protection member 14 being disposed on a peripheral side of the upper barrel portion 111, a gap being left between the protection member 14 and the upper barrel portion 111. The protection member 14 includes a protection member supporting portion 141 and a protection member extending portion 142, and the protection member extending portion 142 may be integrally formed on a top surface of the protection member supporting portion 141 of the protection member 14 and extend in the optical axis direction; the protection member supporting part 141 may be closely fitted with the lower barrel extension 1125; the protection member supporting portion 141 surrounds the circumference of the side wall of the upper barrel extension portion 1112, and the protection member extension portion 142 covers the top surface of the upper barrel extension portion 1113, so that the protection member 14 completely covers the upper barrel portion 111, and a gap is left between the protection member supporting portion and the upper barrel portion 111, i.e., the protection member 14 and the upper barrel portion 111 are not in contact with each other, and a certain distance is kept between the protection member supporting portion and the upper barrel portion 111, so that a certain buffer space is provided for the protection member 14 when an impact in a horizontal or vertical direction is received, and damage caused by the impact being conducted to the upper barrel portion 111 is avoided.

As can be seen from the foregoing, in the embodiment of the application, the material of the first lens 1210 may be resin or glass. The glass lens made of glass material can improve the imaging quality of the lens and reduce the height of the optical lens 10 by utilizing the advantages of high transmissivity, high refractive index and low astigmatism of the glass lens. When the material of the first lens 1210 is a glass lens, the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of the glass material is different from that of the plastic material of the lens barrel 11, and the deformation amount of the first lens 1210 is different from that of the plastic material of the lens barrel 11 under high-low temperature impact, so that the relative positions of the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 are offset, and even the first lens 1210 may crack during the temperature change resistance process. Under high-low temperature impact, the first lens 1210 made of glass material and the lens barrel 11 made of plastic material are different in expansion and contraction deformation, so that stress is formed between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11, and the stress causes degumming between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11.

As shown in fig. 2A, 2B, 5A and 5B, in the embodiment of the present application, the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 are sequentially disposed along the optical axis direction of the second lens group 122, that is, the first lens 1210 is disposed above the lens barrel 11, and the first lens 1210 is fixed and supported by the lens barrel 11. Specifically, the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 are connected to each other by a connecting member 13, that is, the connecting member 13 is disposed between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11, and the first lens 1210 is stably held on the lens barrel 11 by the connecting member 13.

In one embodiment of the present application, the connection member 13 may be disposed between the optical portion 1211 of the first lens 1210 and the upper barrel portion 111 of the barrel 11, such that the first lens 1210 is fixed to the barrel 11; in another embodiment of the present application, the connecting member 13 may be disposed between the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210 and the upper barrel portion 111 of the barrel 11, such that the first lens 1210 is fixed to the barrel 11; in still another embodiment of the present application, the connection member 13 may be disposed between the optical portion 1211 of the first lens 1210 and the upper barrel portion 111 of the barrel 11, and between the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210 and the upper barrel portion 111 of the barrel 11 at the same time, which is not limited in the present application. Wherein the connecting piece 13 can be glue suitable for ultraviolet irradiation curing; or a glue adapted to be cured by irradiation with visible light; or a glue adapted to be cured by heating; or a glue suitable for curing by moisture contact, the choice of which is not limiting to the application.

The connecting member 13 includes a first medium 131 and a second medium 132, wherein the first medium 131 is disposed between the optical portion 1211 of the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11, and the second medium 132 is disposed between the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11. The first medium 131 is disposed between the optical portion 1211 of the first lens 1210 and the upper barrel portion 111 of the barrel 11, the second medium 132 is disposed between the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210 and the upper barrel portion 111 of the barrel 11, and the first medium 131 and the second medium 132 fix the first lens 1210 and the barrel 11 twice, so that the connection area between the first lens 1210 and the barrel 11 is larger, and the connection strength between the first lens 1210 and the barrel 11 is increased, thereby avoiding separation between the first lens 1210 and the barrel 11 during testing. Of course, the connecting member 13 may include only the first medium 131 or only the second medium 132, so long as the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 can be firmly connected, which is not limited by the present application.

Further, the first medium 131 is disposed inside the second medium 132, i.e., the first medium 131 is closer to the optical axis of the second lens group 122. The first medium 131 is disposed between the light-emitting side surface 12112 of the first lens 1210 and the extension portion of the lens barrel 11, the first medium 131 is disposed between the light-emitting side surface 12112 of the optical portion 1211 and the upper extension surface 11121 of the upper lens barrel extension portion 1112, as shown in fig. 3, the first medium 131 is disposed between the second image side surface 121122a of the light-emitting side surface 12112 and the upper lens barrel supporting portion 1111, and the area of the first medium 131 is at least partially overlapped with the second reflective area 121122, so that the disposed area of the first medium 131 is larger, the bonding strength between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 is stronger, and further, the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 are prevented from forming stress between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 due to the difference of thermal expansion coefficients of the first lens 1210 and the plastic lens barrel 11 under high-low temperature impact, and the stress may cause detachment and breakage of the connecting member 13, i.e. degumming or breaking.

The second medium 132 is disposed outside the first medium 131, the second medium 132 is disposed between the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210 and the supporting portion of the barrel 11, wherein at least a portion of the second medium 132 extends to the optical portion 1211 of the first lens 1210, as shown in fig. 2, the second medium 132 covers at least a portion of the structural side 12123 and/or the structural bottom 12122 of the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210, that is, a portion of the second medium 132 is disposed on the side of the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210, and another portion of the second medium 132 is disposed on the bottom of the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210. The arrangement of the second medium 132 further increases the bonding area between the first lens 1210, the lens barrel 11 and the connecting piece 13, thereby increasing the bonding strength; the second medium 132 can disperse the stress, so as to avoid the first medium 131 from being damaged, so that the second medium 132 can protect the first medium 131, and the second medium 132 can further increase the connection strength between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11.

It is understood that the second medium 132 may be made of the same material as the first medium 131, or may be made of a glue having a lower elastic modulus (or softer) than the first medium 131. In a specific example of the present application, the elastic modulus of the second medium 132 is the same as the elastic modulus of the first medium 131; in another specific example of the present application, the elastic modulus of the second medium 132 is lower than the elastic modulus of the first medium 131. In the embodiment of the present application, the first medium 131 is implemented by dispensing, and the second medium 132 is implemented by spraying. The first medium 131 may or may not be in contact with the second medium 132, which is not limited in the present application.

In an embodiment of the present application, a certain height difference exists between the position of the second medium 132 and the position of the first medium 131, where the height of the second medium 132 is higher than the height of the first medium 131. In the present application, the first medium 131 and the second medium 132 are disposed on a surface of the first lens 1210 facing the image side, the first medium 131 is located on the light-emitting side surface 12112 of the first lens 1210, and the second medium 132 is located on the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210, so that the height of the first medium 131 is lower than the height of the second medium 132. During the active calibration of the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11, the first medium 131 can be used to realize the alignment connection between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11, and the second medium 132 can be used to enhance the bonding strength between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11. The arrangement mode can increase the bonding strength between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 on one hand and avoid the occurrence of degumming; on the other hand, the adjustment of the first lens 1210 or the lens barrel 11 in the active calibration process is simpler and easier; on the other hand, the second medium 132 is disposed between the first medium 131 and the completely cured state, so as to avoid the influence on the relative position between the first lens 1210 and the barrel 11.

Further, the upper barrel extension 1112 is provided with at least one step groove (a first step groove 11121a and/or a second step groove 11121 b) formed by recessing downward from the upper barrel extension surface 11121, and since the upper barrel extension surface 11121 is an inclined surface, the first medium 131 flows on the upper barrel extension surface 11121, and the step groove can accommodate the first medium 131 therein, so that the contact area between the first medium 131 and the upper barrel extension surface 11121 is increased, and the first medium 131 is kept on the upper barrel extension surface 11121. It is understood that the cross section of the step groove may be square, triangular or other shapes, and the number of the step grooves may be one, two or more, which is not limited in the present application.

In another embodiment of the present application, the first medium 131 is disposed in the optical surface connection area 121123 of the light-emitting side surface 12112, and the area of the first medium 131 and the second reflective area 121122 are offset from each other. The optical surface connection region 121123 is a region in which light is not reflected, and the first medium 131 is disposed on the light-emitting side surface 12112 in a region in which light is not reflected.

The light is reflected at the second object-side 121122b of the second reflective area 121122, and the first medium 131 is adjacent to the second image-side 121122a but not in contact with the second image-side 121122a, which is due to the stress generated when the first medium 131 is cured, and the stress may deform the reflective layer disposed in the second reflective area 121122, thereby affecting the reflection effect of the light in the first lens 1210 and further affecting the imaging.

The second medium 132 is disposed outside the first medium 131, and the second medium 132 is disposed between the structural portion 1212 and the upper barrel support 1111, wherein the second medium 132 extends only to the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210. The second medium 132 is disposed between the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210 and the barrel 11 without penetrating between the optical portion 1211 of the first lens 1210 and the barrel 11, i.e., the second medium 132 is disposed outside of the outermost projection of the light-incident side surface 12111 of the first lens 1210, as shown in fig. 2B and 5B, the outermost projection of the light-incident side surface 12111 referring to the projection farthest from the optical axis. It can also be said that the second medium 132 is disposed only on the structural portion 1212 of the first lens 1210, and this arrangement avoids the stress generated when the second medium 132 is cured, which directly affects the optical portion 1211 of the first lens 1210, and thus affects the light in the first lens 1210.

It can be understood that, in the present application, the camera module is of a multi-group structure, and during the assembly process of the camera module, it is often necessary to bake the optical lens 10 to cure the connecting member 13, so that the connecting member 13 supports the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 after curing, and the relative position between the two is kept at the relative position determined by active calibration. The material of the connecting piece 13 may be UV thermosetting glue or photo-curable optical glue, which may be cured by baking or photo-curing. However, air between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 expands during baking, and the expanded air impacts the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11, thereby changing the relative positions of the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11, resulting in a decrease in light performance. Therefore, an air escape channel is required to be provided, and the air escape channel can communicate the air in the optical lens 10 with the outside, so that the expanded air can escape during baking, so as to avoid excessively large effects on the adjacent first lens 1210 and lens barrel 11, thereby causing the relative positions of the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 to deviate or causing the optical system components to deform, and further affecting the optical performance.

Fig. 8A to 8D are top views of an optical lens assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the application, wherein in an embodiment of the application, a first medium 131 surrounds an optical axis of a second lens assembly 122, and a complete circle of the first medium 131 is disposed in a circumferential direction around the optical axis of the second lens assembly 122, and the first medium 131 is annular. The second medium 132 is disposed outside the first medium 131, and the second medium 132 is disposed around the second lens group 122 in a circumferential direction of the optical axis, and the second medium 132 is circular, as shown in fig. 8A. This arrangement allows more of the first medium 131 and the second medium 132 to connect the first lens 1210 and the barrel 11 over the same circumferential area, thereby increasing the adhesive force.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first medium 131 is disposed around the lens barrel opening 1103, i.e. the first medium 131 is disposed around the lens barrel opening 1103 for a complete circle. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the first medium 131 having at least one notch may also be disposed around the lens barrel opening 1103.

Further, after the whole circle of the connecting piece 13 is arranged, the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 are sealed, and in order to solidify the connecting piece 13, the optical lens 10 needs to be baked, and the air in the sealed space cannot escape during baking to cause thermal expansion, so that the relative position precision between the two groups after active calibration is seriously affected, and the imaging quality of the optical lens 10 is reduced, even the imaging is poor, and the yield loss is directly caused. Accordingly, an air escape passage is formed by at least one through hole and/or notch in the first lens 1210, the lens barrel 11, and the connector 13, and the air escape passage communicates the sealed air between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 with the outside. In the present application, the gas escape passage may be a hole, a passage, a groove, a gap, a notch, or the like for escaping gas, the structure of which is not particularly limited.

In another embodiment of the present application, the connecting member 13 is in the form of a C-shaped ring in a plane, that is, the first medium 131 and the second medium 132 are each provided with a section of an adhesive ring surface, so that a gas escape channel is formed by the notches G1 and G2 of the C-shaped ring, as shown in fig. 8B, the first medium 131 and the second medium 132 are annularly distributed in a top view, and the first medium 131 and the second medium 132 are respectively provided with notches (e.g., G1 and G2) so as to form the gas escape channel by the notches. Of course, if there are two or more painting glues, a notch needs to be left for each painting glue as a vent hole, for example, the first medium 131 may be thermally cured, and the second medium 132 may be photo-cured. In other embodiments, the gap of the adhesive ring surface of the second medium 132 may also be sealed after the optical lens 10 is assembled, and it is generally necessary to seal the air escape channel when baking is finished, so as to prevent dust or other dirt from entering the inside of the optical lens 10 from the air escape channel. In the case of dispensing twice or more, the notch of the outermost ring of adhesive is sealed, that is, the notch of the second medium 132 is sealed. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the notch of the second medium 132 may not be sealed, but the notch G1 of the first medium 131 and the notch G2 of the second medium 132 are arranged in a staggered manner, that is, the notches of the adhesive ring surfaces of the first medium 131 and the second medium 132 are spaced as far apart as possible in the circumferential direction, so that dust is not easy to enter the effective area of the optical lens 10 from the two notches, and thus the step of sealing the notch last time may be omitted.

It should be noted that the connecting piece 13 may also be in the form of a plurality of C-shaped rings in the plane, that is, the connecting piece 13 is provided with a plurality of sections of adhesive ring surfaces, that is, the connecting piece 13 has a plurality of notches, which increases the number of notches on the one hand, and helps the gas expanding in the closed space to escape quickly, so that the possibility that the relative position of the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 is offset or the optical system component is deformed during the baking process is lower; on the other hand, under high-low temperature impact, the first lens 1210 made of glass material and the lens barrel 11 made of plastic material are different in expansion deformation, so that stress is formed between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11, the connecting piece 13 is arranged in a multi-section mode, the stress can be dispersed, the dispersed stress can be reduced, the situation of degumming is not easy to occur, separation between the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11 is avoided, and damage to the optical lens 10 is avoided.

In another embodiment of the present application, the first medium 131 is provided with a plurality of segments of adhesive ring surfaces, a plurality of gaps are formed between the segments of adhesive ring surfaces of the first medium 131, and in this embodiment, two gaps G1 and G1' are implemented, the first medium 131 has two segments of adhesive ring surfaces, that is, two segments of adhesive ring surfaces of the first medium 131 have two gaps G1 and G1', as shown in fig. 8C, in a top view, the two segments of adhesive ring surfaces of the first medium 131 are symmetrically arranged in a circumferential direction of an optical axis of the second lens group 122, and the two gaps G1 and G1' formed thereby are symmetrically arranged in a circumferential direction of the optical axis of the second lens group 122. The arrangement of the two notches G1 and G1' is helpful for increasing the escape amount and helping the gas expanding in the closed space to escape quickly so as to avoid overlarge effect on adjacent components. Further, the two sections of the adhesive ring surface of the first medium 131 are beneficial to uniformly stress the two sides of the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11, so as to avoid the relative position deviation of the first lens 1210 and the lens barrel 11. Of course, in a plan view, the second medium 132 is annularly distributed, and the second medium 132 may be provided with notches G2 to form an air escape passage through the notches of the first medium 131 and the notches of the second medium 132.

That is, the rear Jiao Mada is fixed to the lens support 60 and the photosensitive assembly 30, the first group lens 15 is fixed to the photosensitive assembly 30 by the lens support 60 and the rear Jiao Mada, and the second group lens 16 is fixed to the photosensitive assembly 30 by the rear Jiao Mada.

In the embodiments shown in fig. 4A to 4C, 7A to 7C, and 11A to 11C, the filter holder 34 is integrally formed with the circuit board 31 through a molding process, so that the filter holder 34 can provide a flat top surface for supporting the back focus motor 50 or the lens support 60, and a flat mounting surface helps to reduce assembly tolerance of the camera module.

In the embodiments shown in fig. 4A to 4C, fig. 7A to 7C, and fig. 11A to 11C, the lens supporting portion 60 may be integrally formed with the first lower lens barrel 1123 through an injection molding process, in other words, the lens supporting portion 60 may be considered as a part of the first lower lens barrel 1123, and the lens supporting portion 60 may be a separate component, which is fixed to the first group lens 15 through a connecting medium (an adhesive medium such as glue). In one embodiment of the present application, the lens support 60 may also be implemented as a lens driving motor 20, the lens driving motor 20 being used to drive the first group of lenses 15 to move.

In one embodiment of the present application, the top surface of the rear Jiao Mada is higher than the bottom surface of the first lower barrel 1123 of the first group lens 15, so that the rear focus motor 50 can be disposed with a space on the side of the first barrel 11 for the purpose of reducing the lateral dimension of the rear Jiao Mada.

In one embodiment of the present application, the first lower lens barrel 1123 of the first group lens 15 extends downward into the back focus motor 50, so that when the thickness of the compensation lens in the optical axis direction is thinner, the peripheral side of the first lower lens barrel 1123 can provide a space for the back focus motor 50 to be disposed, thereby reducing the size of the image capturing module as much as possible.

In one embodiment of the present application, the maximum outer diameter of the back focus motor driving assembly 53 is smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the first lens 1210, and the back focus motor driving assembly 53 is arranged without increasing the size of the camera module.

In one embodiment of the present application, the maximum outer diameter of the rear Jiao Mada is smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the first lens 1210, and the rear focus motor driving assembly 53 is arranged without increasing the size of the camera module. In other words, by driving the compensation lens to move instead of driving the first lens 1210 to move, the back focus motor driving component 53 can be kept small in size.

In one embodiment of the present application, the rear Jiao Mada drives the second lens group 16 to linearly move along the optical axis of the second lens group 122, so as to adjust the back focal distance of the optical lens 10, thereby realizing the field curvature and back focal compensation effects, and enabling the image capturing module to maintain clear images when capturing objects with different distances. Because the back focus of the optical lens 10 may have larger variation, and it is difficult to ensure imaging quality in batches, the back focus and field curvature range of the optical lens 10 can be actively adjusted by adopting the compensation lens scheme, which is beneficial to optimizing the display effect of the tele lens.

In another embodiment of the present application, the rear Jiao Mada drives the second group to translate along a first axis direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the second lens 1220 and/or drives the second group to rotate around a second axis direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the second lens 1220, so as to compensate for shake during photographing, thereby realizing the optical anti-shake function of the camera module. Wherein the first axis and the second axis lie on a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the second lens 1220, the first axis and the second axis being adapted to overlap or not overlap. By driving the compensation lens to move, the scheme can replace driving the optical lens 10 to move or driving the photosensitive chip 32 to move, so that the optical anti-shake function is realized at a low cost.

In particular, considering that the first lens 1210 of the embodiment of the present application has a relatively large width and the first lens 1210 has a large weight, if the first lens 1210 is driven to move to implement the optical focusing and/or the optical anti-shake function of the camera module, on one hand, a large driving force needs to be provided, which puts a higher requirement on the driving motor; on the other hand, providing a driving motor at the peripheral side of the first lens 1210 further increases the lateral size of the image capturing module; on the other hand, the space that can be provided on the peripheral side of the first lens 1210 is small, which is insufficient for providing a driving motor. In the embodiment of the present application, a chip driving motor 40 is provided, and the photosensitive assembly 30 is driven to move by the chip driving motor 40 to realize the optical focusing and/or the optical anti-shake function of the camera module.

The light incident area 121111 of the camera module in this embodiment is in a circular shape. In this embodiment, the floodlight 70 is fixedly installed in the opaque space of the first lens 1210, such that the floodlight 70 does not affect the imaging of the camera module. When the image pickup module assembly (i.e., the image pickup module with the illumination function) having the floodlight 70 and the image pickup module stacked in the optical axis direction of the present application is mounted in such terminal devices as a mobile phone and a computer, the space required for the lateral arrangement (in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis plane) of the components in the terminal can be reduced, and the size requirements of the terminal for the image pickup module and the floodlight 70 can be reduced. On the other hand, the embodiment of the present application provides an imaging module with an illumination function, in which the floodlight 70 is located in the middle, further, the upper surface of the floodlight 70 is circular, more specifically, the imaging module with an illumination function is seen from the object direction, the object-side opaque region of the first lens 1210 is circular, and by setting the floodlight 70 to be circular, the imaging module with an incident circular ring outside the circular floodlight 70 can be obtained as seen from the object direction.

Further, it should be noted that the first reflective region 121112 in this embodiment is an optical surface recessed toward the image side, and the floodlight 70 is mounted on the first object side 121112b of the first reflective region 121112. The downwardly concave optical surface in this embodiment provides a sunken mounting surface required for mounting the floodlight fixing portion 74, i.e., the floodlight fixing portion 74 can be mounted on the recessed optical surface, so that the overall height of the floodlight 70 and the camera module stacked in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

Specifically, since the floodlight fixing portion 74 tends to be the bottom wiring board 31 or the semiconductor substrate in the floodlight 70, the wiring board 31 or the semiconductor substrate can be shape-modified by a molding process. The floodlight fixing portion 74 in this embodiment is preferably in a downward convex shape, and the floodlight fixing portion 74 in this embodiment is provided with a downward convex shape at least on the outer side, and the downward convex shape of the floodlight 70 mounting portion can be adapted to the downward concave optical surface of the first reflection region 121112, so that the effect of enhancing the positioning and assembling of the floodlight 70 to the first lens group 121 can be achieved, and on the other hand, the overall height of the floodlight 70 and the camera module stacked in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the floodlight conductive member 73 includes an extension portion, and the extension portion extends outwards through the light-transmitting area of the first lens 1210, and the extension portion of the floodlight conductive member is made of a transparent material. The extension portion is arranged in the light entering area 121111 of the camera module when extending outwards, so that the influence of light entering quantity is reduced.

Further, the extending portion includes a first direction extending portion 731, a second direction extending portion 732, and an electrical connection fixing end 733, where the first direction extending portion 731 is disposed on a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the image capturing module, and the second direction extending portion 732 is disposed parallel to the optical axis of the image capturing module.

The conductive members of the floodlight 70 are extended outwardly and downwardly by the first and second direction extending portions 731 and 732, respectively, in this embodiment. The electrical connection fixing end 733 is used for electrically connecting the second direction extending portion 732 with the camera module, and on the other hand, the electrical connection fixing end 733 can also have a fixed connection function, more specifically, the electrical connection fixing end 733 can be implemented as a solder fixing or a conductive silver paste, etc. for electrically mounting and fixing the second direction extending portion 732 on the camera module.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first direction extending portion 731 is transparent, the influence of the light entering amount when the first direction extending portion 731 is extended outward is reduced when the first direction extending portion 731 is disposed in the light entering area 121111 of the image capturing module.

It should be noted that, the light source 71 in this embodiment may further include at least two sub-light sources 71, where at least two light emitting ranges of the at least two sub-light sources 71 are overlapped, and the brightness of the overlapped area is enhanced or reduced by controlling whether the light emitting of the sub-light sources 71 with overlapped light emitting ranges is performed, so that the light brightness of the overlapped area can be adjusted to adapt to the situation that the brightness of the picture needs to be changed according to the area of interest of the user.

The light source modulation unit 72 may be embodied as at least one kind or a combination of two or more kinds of concave lenses, mirrors, liquid crystal elements, or diffraction elements. In this embodiment, the light source modulation unit 72 is preferably implemented as a liquid crystal element which orients or rearranges liquid crystal molecules by applying or withdrawing an electric field so that the liquid crystal molecules are in a scattering state in a power-off state, transparent but opaque, and in a straight line after power-on. In this embodiment, by providing a method of individually controlling the regions of the liquid crystal element, the light source modulation unit 72 can modulate the light transmission region in regions, and can adapt to the situation that the brightness of the screen needs to be enhanced according to the region of interest of the user.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the floodlight 70 is mounted above the first lens group 121, and the first lens group 121 can be driven by the lens driving motor 20, so that the floodlight 70 can be driven by the lens driving motor 20 in the present embodiment. Further, in this embodiment, the floodlight 70 can move in the movement direction of the lens driving motor 20.

In one example, the lens driving motor 20 is a motor that moves along the optical axis, so that the floodlight 70 can also be adjusted along the optical axis, that is, the brightness of the floodlight 70 can be adjusted along the optical axis, so as to achieve the effect of precisely adjusting the brightness intensity of the floodlight 70 along the optical axis, so as to adapt to the requirement of the user for the brightness of the main body of the screen to be highlighted.

In another example, the lens driving motor 20 is a motor that moves in a plane direction perpendicular to the optical axis, so that the floodlight 70 can also move in a plane direction perpendicular to the optical axis, that is, the floodlight range can be adjusted in a plane direction perpendicular to the optical axis, so that the situation that the brightness information of the main body of the screen needs to be precisely adjusted according to the region of interest of the user can be adapted.

In another example, the lens driving motor 20 is a motor capable of rotating in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction to perform anti-shake. The floodlight 70 can also perform rotational movement in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, that is, the floodlight range can perform rotational movement in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, so that the angle of the light emitted by the floodlight 70 can be adjusted, and the floodlight range is adapted to the situation that the brightness information of the main body of the picture needs to be adjusted according to the region of interest of the user. The floodlight 70 in this embodiment of the present application is driven by the lens driving motor 20 to adjust the brightness and the range of light, so that the light source modulating portion 72 in this embodiment can modulate the light, and further adjust the range or brightness of the outgoing light of the floodlight 70 by adjusting the posture of the floodlight 70, so as to further enhance the capability of adjusting the outgoing light of the floodlight 70, so as to meet the shooting requirement of the user for adjusting the floodlight 70.

Fig. 13A and 13B are flowcharts illustrating a method for adjusting the light emitted from an imaging module having an illumination function, and in one embodiment of the present application, a method for selectively illuminating the field of view of an imaging camera is provided. The method for selectively illuminating the camera view field comprises the following steps:

Step S01, acquiring a current position signal of a current position of a region of interest in a field of view.

Step S02, adjusting the position signal based on the region of interest in the field of view after the position is to be changed.

Step S03, the position adjustment signal is processed into a light ray movement signal.

Step S04, adjusting the outgoing light based on the light movement signal to selectively illuminate the region of interest.

Further, acquiring the current position signal of the current position of the region of interest in the field of view comprises in one embodiment determining the region of interest by touching a specific region of the image by the user, or alternatively determining the region of interest by displaying a specific object in the screen or by providing a region of interest for the user. In other words, a specific object in the image may be determined as a region of interest, and after confirming the position of the region of interest with respect to the position in the entire image, a current position signal of the current position of the region of interest is output. Based on the determination of the position of the region of interest, one or more camera modules of the device can facilitate the amplification, centering or tracking process of the region of interest. After the position of the region of interest is determined in the scheme, illumination can be provided for the region of interest to strengthen the brightness of the region of interest.

The determination of the other regions of interest is made based on the adjusted position signal after the region of interest in the field of view is to be repositioned, in one embodiment including a determination of the region of interest by touching a particular region of the other image by the user, or in a selectable manner by displaying other particular objects in the screen or by other particular regions providing the region of interest to the user. Unlike the above determination of the region of interest, the position of interest is determined again after the region of interest has been switched by the user. This is significant in many cases, for example, when the user finishes taking a picture of the a object, he needs to take a picture of the B object, and this confirms how much the position of the region of interest of a→b needs to be changed, so that it can be determined how much the illumination range needs to be changed, so as to perform brightness enhancement on the region after the region of interest is switched.

Fig. 13B is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the light emitted from an imaging module having an illumination function, wherein the adjustment position signal based on the change in the position of the region of interest in the field of view includes, in another embodiment, a change in the position of the region of interest after the determination of the region of interest. In the foregoing, the specific object in the image may be determined as the region of interest, further, after the position of the specific object is obtained and changed, the position of the region of interest is changed, and after the position of the region of interest is confirmed to be changed, the corresponding position of interest needs to be determined again. This is significant in many cases, for example, when the user finishes taking a picture of the position of the a object 1, he needs to take a picture of the position of the a object 2, and this confirms how much the position of the region of interest of 1→2 needs to be changed, so that it can be determined how much the illumination range needs to be changed to enhance the brightness of the region after the region of interest is switched.

Referring to fig. 13B, a flowchart of a method for adjusting the light emitted by the camera module with illumination function is shown, and after the position of the region of interest is changed as described above, the illumination range of the floodlight needs to be changed to adapt to the illumination range requirement after the position of the region of interest is changed. In the preceding step, the floodlight illumination range is adjusted based on the position signal after the change in the position of the region of interest is determined. Further, processing the adjustment position signal into a light modulation signal in another embodiment includes further decomposing the light movement signal into a light source modulation section 72 control signal and a driver control signal by the computing module, as described above, the lens driving motor 20 can adjust the posture of the floodlight 70 by driving the optical lens 10, thereby adjusting the range or brightness of the outgoing light of the floodlight 70. That is, the driver control signal may control the lens driving motor 20 to move to change the posture of the floodlight 70.

In some embodiments, the driver control signal, when executed, drives the optical lens 10 to move along the optical axis direction by the lens driving motor 20, thereby driving the floodlight 70 to move along the optical axis direction.

In some embodiments, the driver control signal, when executed, drives the optical lens 10 to move in a plane direction perpendicular to the optical axis via the lens driving motor 20, thereby driving the floodlight 70 to move in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis.

In some embodiments, the driver control signal, when executed, drives the optical lens 10 to rotate in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction by a pan-tilt motor or tilt-swivel lens drive motor 20. That is, the driver control signal may include any one of the x, y, z, r, v, w six degree-of-freedom adjustments, or may be a combination of any two or more thereof.

It should be noted that, when the lens driving motor 20 is a closed-loop motor, a position sensor corresponding to the movement direction of the motor is often integrated in the camera module to detect the movement gesture of the lens driving motor 20. Similarly, the position sensor in this embodiment can be used to detect the posture of the floodlight 70, and referring to fig. 13B, a flowchart of a method for adjusting the light emitted by the camera module with illumination function is illustrated, and the position sensor can detect whether the position of the floodlight 70 after the driver control signal is executed meets the requirement, specifically, whether the area of interest of the user is illuminated sufficiently after the adjustment of the area of interest. After the user's region of interest is adjusted, the floodlight 70 needs to illuminate the adjusted region of interest, and the outgoing light of the floodlight 70 is required to be adjusted to illuminate the adjusted region of interest. In the example of the present application, the floodlight 70 is required to be at the target position, specifically, whether the illuminated area after the posture of the floodlight 70 is adjusted meets the requirement after the user's region of interest is adjusted. If the floodlight 70 position does not meet the requirements, it is indicated that the floodlight 70 is not at the target position, and the target position signal means that the floodlight 70 is at the target position, so that the area after meeting the user's interest area is adjusted is illuminated.

Referring to fig. 13B, a flowchart of a method for adjusting the light emitted from an imaging module having an illumination function is illustrated. Further, as mentioned above, the illuminated area after the floodlight pose is adjusted does not meet the requirement of the user after the area of interest is adjusted, and the calculation module determines the position difference between the target position signal of the floodlight 70 and the current position signal of the floodlight 70 detected by the position sensor as the floodlight 70 position compensation signal, and further adjusts the position of the floodlight 70, so as to finally make the floodlight 70 pose in a specific pose. This is advantageous in many situations, such as when the user adjusts the region of interest in a handheld photograph, and when the user has hand shake, etc., and small differences in the pose of the floodlight 70 cause the brightness range or intensity of the region of interest to be unsatisfactory, the computing module may automatically output the floodlight 70 position compensation signal to facilitate calibration of the pose of the floodlight.

As shown in the flowchart of fig. 13B, the above-mentioned illuminated area after the floodlight gesture is adjusted meets the requirement after the user's region of interest is adjusted, and the position sensor detecting driver can still continuously detect whether the floodlight 70 position meets the requirement, and continuously correct the floodlight 70 gesture. When the lens driving motor 20 executes the floodlight 70 position compensation signal, thereby realizing real-time anti-shake of the floodlight 70 position or actively performing floodlight 70 position calibration when the floodlight 70 position adjustment is not good, which is beneficial in many cases, for example, when a user performs handheld shooting, the user has hand shake after adjusting the interested region, and the like, and the slight difference of the gestures of the floodlight 70 appears to cause the brightness range or intensity of the interested region not to meet the requirement, the floodlight 70 position compensation signal is automatically output, so as to facilitate the calibration of the floodlight gesture.

It should be noted that the control signal of the light source modulation portion 72 may include a signal for adjusting the brightness of the outgoing light, a signal for adjusting the range of the outgoing light, or a signal for adjusting the angle of the outgoing light, so as to adjust the brightness of the outgoing light, or adjust the range of the outgoing light, or adjust the outgoing light.

Further, in some embodiments, the signal for adjusting the brightness of the outgoing light may control the overall brightness of the light source 71 to be adjusted or at least a part of the brightness of the light source 71 to be adjusted. As described with reference to the embodiment of the camera module with the floodlight 70 of the present application, the signals for adjusting the brightness of the outgoing light can respectively control the first sub-light source 71, the second sub-light source 71, the third sub-light source 71 and the fourth sub-light source 71, and in this way, the light range can be enlarged or reduced by respectively controlling the first sub-light source 71, the second sub-light source 71, the third sub-light source 71 and the fourth sub-light source 71. Further, the first sub-light source 71, the second sub-light source 71, the third sub-light source 71 and the fourth sub-light source 71 have overlapping ranges of at least two emergent light rays, and the brightness of the overlapping area is enhanced or reduced by whether the sub-light sources 71 having overlapping ranges of emergent light rays are electrified or not, so that the brightness of the light rays in the overlapping range can be adjusted to adapt to the situation that the brightness of the picture needs to be enhanced according to the area of interest of the user.

Further, in some embodiments, the signal that adjusts the range of the outgoing light may control the outgoing range of the outgoing light. As described with reference to the embodiment of the camera module with the floodlight 70 according to the present application, when the light source modulation part 72 is implemented as a liquid crystal element, the characteristics of the liquid crystal element can make the light transmitting area of the light source modulation part 72 modulate in areas, so that the brightness of the picture can be adapted to the situation that the brightness of the picture needs to be enhanced according to the area of interest of the user.

Further, in some embodiments, the signal to adjust the angle of the outgoing light may control the angle of incidence of the outgoing light. In the prior art of floodlight 70, a lens is provided on light source 71, which is movable relative to light source 71, and the movement of the lens can change the range or angle of the light after the lens exits. However, for reasons of cost, a position sensor corresponding to the movement direction cannot be provided on the driver related to the lens, so that the emergent light cannot be actively adjusted in a closed loop, and on the other hand, for reasons of size, although the position sensor can be a miniaturized hall element in the prior art, an additional conductive circuit or the like is still required, and the size of the floodlight 70 with the position sensor is increased.

In this embodiment, the lens driving motor 20 can adjust the posture of the floodlight 70, so as to adjust the range or brightness of the emitted light of the floodlight 70, and further adjust the posture of the emitted light of the floodlight 70, thereby enhancing the capability of adjusting the floodlight 70. The position sensor of the lens driving motor 20 can also be used for detecting the posture of the floodlight 70, so that the closed-loop active adjustment of the posture of the floodlight 70 can be realized.

The foregoing has outlined the basic principles, features, and advantages of the present application. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the embodiments described above, and that the above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present application, and various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, which is defined by the appended claims.
