Camera module and mobile terminal with camera module

Abstract

The invention relates to a camera module and a mobile terminal with the camera module. The camera module comprises a plurality of lenses; an image sensing unit arranged on the imaging sides of the lenses, wherein the area of a photosensitive area of the image sensing unit is larger than the area of an actual imaging area of a single lens and smaller than the sum of the areas of the actual imagingareas of the lenses; and a plurality of optical switch units arranged between the plurality of lenses and the image sensing unit corresponding to the plurality of lenses, wherein the optical switch units are controlled to be switched between an opening state and a closing state, and the adjacent optical switch units corresponding to the adjacent lenses of which the actual imaging areas are overlapped with each other are not opened at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of mobile terminals, and in particular to a camera module and a mobile terminal with the camera module. Background technique [0002] In order to improve the quality of shooting pictures or obtain various shooting effects, multiple cameras, such as two, three, four or even more than a dozen cameras, are generally installed in current mobile terminals (such as mobile phones or tablet computers, etc.). In the camera modules of these mobile terminals, an image sensing unit (for example, COMS) is used in the form of a lens. That is to say, as many cameras as a mobile terminal needs, as many sets of lenses and image sensing units are needed, so that the user can choose a variety of different cameras to achieve the desired shooting effect. [0003] However, a plurality of camera modules arranged in the fuselage will occupy a large space. Moreover, due to cost considerations, the quality of image sensing...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, if multiple camera modules are arranged in the fuselage, it will take up a large space

Moreover, due to cost considerations, the quality of image sensing units used in different camera modules is different, usually only the main lens is equipped with high-quality image sensing units, resulting in uneven photo / video quality of mobile terminals

[0004] In addition, in order to obtain a larger shooting angle, mobile terminals usually need to add a set of ultra-wide-angle lenses and image sensing units separately, but choosing such a single set of ultra-wide-angle camera modules is usually difficult to achieve both in terms of image quality and cost.

Moreover, since ultra-wide-angle lenses usually have wide-angle distortion, it is difficult to make the camera field of view (FOV) of a general mobile terminal very large, so as to prevent excessive distortion at the edge and seriously affect the imaging effect
