Among them, the middle frame 300 includes a middle plate 310 and a frame 320 surrounding the side of the middle plate 310. The frame 320 is a conductive frame, such as a metal frame.

In this embodiment, the frame 320 and the middle plate 310 are an integral structure, and the frame 320 and the back cover 400 are a separate structure. The above is the working environment of the camera module 100 taking a mobile phone as an example, but the camera module 100 of the present application is not limited to the above working environment.

[0058] Image sensors include but are not limited to photosensitive chips. Photosensitive chips (image sensors) are optoelectronic devices with photoelectric conversion functions. Image sensors are based on the photoelectric effect. Photons enter the sensor through the lens and are absorbed by the photodiode in the sensor, generating electrons. The electrons are collected and converted into electrical signals, that is, the light image on the photosensitive surface is converted into an electrical signal in a corresponding proportional relationship with the light image. After amplification and processing, a digital image is finally formed.
[0059] Types of image sensors include, but are not limited to, charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors, complementary metal oxide field effect transistor (CMOS) image sensors, and the like.
[0060] This application provides examples to illustrate the specific structure of the image sensor assembly 10 described above.
[0061] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The image sensor assembly 10 includes a first circuit board 11 , an image sensor module 12 and a suspension connector 13 .
[0062] See also Figure 5-Figure 7a , Figure 7b Specifically, the first circuit board 11 is a module circuit board of the camera module 100. For example, the first circuit board 11 includes a first main body 111, a flexible extension 112 and a first auxiliary body 113 connected in sequence. The first circuit board 11 includes but is not limited to a PFC circuit board, a first support plate and a second support plate. Among them, the first support plate supports and fixes a part of the PFC circuit board to form the first main body 111, and the side of the PFC circuit board of this part away from the first support plate is the bearing surface, and a number of wiring interfaces, welding points, etc. are arranged on the bearing surface. With reference to the perspective in the figure, the first support plate is located on the bottom side of a part of the PFC circuit board.
[0063] The second support plate supports and fixes the other part of the PFC circuit board to form a second main body. Optionally, the second support plate and the first support plate support two sides of the PFC circuit board respectively. With reference to the perspective in the figure, the second support plate is located on the top side of the other part of the PFC circuit board. A conductive connection seat is provided on the bottom side of the other part of the PFC circuit board. For example, the conductive connection seat is used to electrically connect another conductive connection seat on the main board.
[0064] The image sensor module 12 and the first circuit board 11 are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction and spaced apart from each other. Specifically, the image sensor module 12 includes a combination of the image sensor module 12 and a sensor circuit. The following embodiments will provide a detailed description.
[0065] The first direction is a direction perpendicular to the surface (the bearing surface 115) where the first circuit board 11 is located. The first direction is the Z direction.
[0066] The orthographic projection of the image sensor module 12 on the first circuit board 11 is located in the area where the first main body 111 of the first circuit board 11 is located.
[0067] For illustration purposes, see Figure 7a , Figure 7b, a central area 115a, a transition area 115b surrounding the central area 115a, and a peripheral area 115c surrounding the transition area 115b are defined on the bearing surface 115 of the first circuit board 11. The orthographic projection of the image sensor module 12 on the first circuit board 11 is located in the central area 115a. The image sensor module 12 and the central area 115a are spaced apart in the first direction, and the present application does not make a specific limitation on this spacing. Optionally, the image sensor module 12 is spaced apart from the central area 115a of the first circuit board 11 in the first direction. The spacing ensures that the image sensor module 12 can move relative to the first circuit board 11 and will not interfere with the devices on the first circuit board 11 during movement.
[0068] See also Figure 8 The hanging connection member 13 includes a fixed connection member 131 , at least one first connection piece 132 and at least one second connection piece 133 .
[0069] Please also read Figure 5 , Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8 The fixed connection member 131 is spaced apart from the outer periphery of the image sensor module 12 .
[0070] Optional, please also see Figure 5 , Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8 , the fixed connection member 131 is located in the peripheral area 115c.
[0071] Please also read Figure 5 , Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8 The fixed connection member 131 is spaced apart from the outer periphery of the image sensor module 12. The region between the orthographic projection of the fixed connection member 131 on the first circuit board 11 and the orthographic projection of the image sensor module 12 on the first circuit board 11 includes a transition region 115b.
[0072] Please also read Figure 5 , Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8 , one end of the fixed connector 131 is connected to the first circuit board 11, and the other end of the fixed connector 131 extends toward a side away from the first circuit board 11 and is connected to the first connecting piece 132. Optionally, one end of the fixed connector 131 is fixedly connected to the first circuit board 11, so that the hanging connector 13 is fixedly connected to the first circuit board 11.
[0073] Optionally, the extension direction of the fixed connector 131 intersects (including perpendicularly) with the surface of the first circuit board 11. In this way, the fixed connector 131 has a certain structure in the first direction to limit the movement of other parts of the suspension connector 13 (the first connecting piece 132 and the second connecting piece 133) in the Z direction, thereby making it difficult for the suspension connector 13 to move in the Z direction. When anti-shake compensation is required, the image sensor module 12 moves or rotates within the plane relative to the first circuit board 11, reducing the movement in the first direction and improving the anti-shake effect of the camera module 100. The specific structure of the fixed connector 131 will be described below with examples.
[0074] Please also read Figure 5 , Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8 , the first connecting piece 132 is spaced apart from the first circuit board 11, and the surface where the first connecting piece 132 is located intersects (including perpendicularly) with the surface where the first circuit board 11 is located. The first connecting piece 132 is in a sheet shape, and the surface where the first connecting piece 132 is located intersects with the surface where the first circuit board 11 is located, so that the first connecting piece 132 is not easy to move in the Z direction, thereby limiting the movement of the suspension connector 13 in the Z direction. When anti-shake compensation is required, the image sensor module 12 moves or rotates within the plane relative to the first circuit board 11, reducing the movement in the first direction and improving the anti-shake effect of the camera module 100.
[0075] Please also read Figure 5 , Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , the first connecting piece 132 extends along the side of the image sensor module 12. For example, the side of the image sensor module 12 extends along the X direction, the first connecting piece 132 also extends along the X direction, and the first connecting piece 132 and the side of the image sensor module 12 have a spacing in the Y direction. For another example, the side of the image sensor module 12 first extends along the X direction and then extends along the Y direction, the first connecting piece 132 also first extends along the X direction, and the first connecting piece 132 and the side of the image sensor module 12 have a spacing H1 in the Y direction; the first connecting piece 132 also extends along the Y direction, and the first connecting piece 132 and the side of the image sensor module 12 have a spacing in the X direction.
[0076] Please also read Figure 5 , Figure 7a , Figure 7b-Figure 9The second connecting piece 133 is spaced apart from the first circuit board 11 by a distance H2. The second connecting piece 133 extends from the first connecting piece 132 toward the side where the image sensor module 12 is located and connects the image sensor module 12, so that the image sensor module 12 is suspended relative to the first circuit board 11.
[0077] The second connecting piece 133 is fixedly connected to the image sensor module 12. Further, the second connecting piece 133 is attached to the bottom side of the image sensor module 12 to support the image sensor module 12 so that there is a gap between the image sensor module 12 and the first circuit board 11. The second connecting piece 133 is in a sheet shape, so that it has a large bearing area, so as to provide a large supporting force and ensure the suspension stability of the image sensor module 12.

The first connecting piece 132 and the second connecting piece 133 are both spaced apart from the first circuit board 11. The surface where the first connecting piece 132 is located intersects with the surface where the first circuit board 11 is located.

When anti-shake compensation is required, the image sensor moves or rotates within the plane relative to the first circuit board 11, thereby reducing the movement in the first direction and improving the anti-shake effect of the camera module 100.
[0079] The specific structure of the suspension connector 13 is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0081] Please also read Figure 5The first sub-connecting piece 1311 is attached to and fixed to the surface of the first circuit board 11. The first sub-connecting piece 1311 is in sheet shape, which can provide a larger area to be fixed to the surface of the first circuit board 11, so as to improve the firmness of the fixed connection between the suspension connector 13 and the first circuit board 11.

The fixed block 1313 is fixed on the first circuit board 11 . The fixed block 1313 is fixedly connected to the first connecting piece 132 .
[0089] Optionally, the fixing block 1313 is block-shaped. The bottom surface of the fixing block 1313 has a certain area to fit and fix with the bearing surface 115 of the first circuit board 11, so as to improve the connection strength between the fixing block 1313 and the first circuit board 11. The connection method includes but is not limited to adhesive bonding, screw fixing connection, welding, etc.
[0090] The connection method between the fixed block 1313 and the first connecting piece 132 includes but is not limited to interconnection, adhesive bonding, screw fixing connection, welding, etc. The fixed block 1313 and the first connecting piece 132 are in surface contact with each other, and have a relatively large connection area to improve the connection strength between the fixed block 1313 and the first connecting piece 132. In addition, the fixed block 1313 provides a more reliable bonding force for the first connecting piece 132 to further prevent the first connecting piece 132 from moving in the Z direction, thereby limiting the movement of the suspension connector 13 in the Z direction. When anti-shake compensation is required, the image sensor module 12 moves or rotates relative to the first circuit board 11 in the XY plane, reduces the movement in the first direction, and improves the anti-shake effect of the camera module 100.
[0091] The present application does not make any specific limitation on the material of the fixing block 1313. For example, the material of the fixing block 1313 includes, but is not limited to, plastic, metal, etc. The fixing block 1313 has a certain rigidity. Optionally, the fixing block 1313 is a plastic block, which can reduce the weight of the fixing block 1313. The fixing block 1313 can be integrally formed with the first connecting piece 132 by injection molding, which can improve the connection firmness between the fixing block 1313 and the first connecting piece 132. In addition, the first connecting piece 132 can be embedded in the fixing block 1313 to further improve the connection firmness between the fixing block 1313 and the first connecting piece 132.
[0092] Please also read Figure 5 , Figure 7a , Figure 7b-Figure 8In the optional implementation of the third type of fixed connector 131, this implementation is an implementation of combining the first type of fixed connector 131 with the second type of fixed connector 131, that is, the fixed connector 131 includes a fixed block 1313, a first sub-connecting piece 1311 and a second sub-connecting piece 1312. The first sub-connecting piece 1311 is attached to and fixed to the surface of the first circuit board 11, and at least a portion of the second sub-connecting piece 1312 extends in a direction perpendicular to the first circuit board 11 and connects to the first connecting piece 132. The fixed block 1313 is fixed on the first circuit board 11, and the fixed block 1313 connects the first sub-connecting piece 1311 and the second sub-connecting piece 1312.
[0093] Optionally, the fixed block 1313, the first sub-connecting piece 1311 and the second sub-connecting piece 1312 are integrally formed by injection molding, which can improve the connection firmness between the fixed block 1313, the first sub-connecting piece 1311 and the second sub-connecting piece 1312. In addition, the first sub-connecting piece 1311 and the second sub-connecting piece 1312 can be embedded in the fixed block 1313 to further improve the connection firmness between the fixed block 1313 and the first sub-connecting piece 1311 and the second sub-connecting piece 1312.
[0094] In other embodiments, the fixed block 1313 is an inclined connecting piece, which intersects with the first sub-connecting piece 1311 and the second sub-connecting piece 1312. The inclined connecting piece, the first sub-connecting piece 1311 and the second sub-connecting piece 1312 form a stable triangular structure to avoid angle changes between the first sub-connecting piece 1311 and the second sub-connecting piece 1312 and improve the stability of the second sub-connecting piece 1312.
[0095] Optional, see Fig.12 The first connection piece 132 includes a third sub-connection piece 1321 and a fourth sub-connection piece 1322 which are connected in a bent manner. Optionally, the third sub-connection piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connection piece 1322 are interconnected as a whole.
[0096] The third sub-connecting piece 1321 is arranged at intervals along the first side 12a of the image sensor module 12. The third sub-connecting piece 1321 is connected to the fixed connecting member 131. Optionally, the first side 12a is a side extending along the X direction. In other words, one end of the third sub-connecting piece 1321 is connected to the fixed connecting member 131, the other end of the third sub-connecting piece 1321 extends along the X direction, and the third sub-connecting piece 1321 is arranged at intervals from the first side 12a.
[0097] The fourth sub-connecting pieces 1322 are disposed at intervals along the second side 12 b of the image sensor module 12 . The fourth sub-connecting pieces 1322 are connected to the second connecting piece 133 .
[0098] Optional, see Fig.12 , the first side 12a and the second side 12b are adjacent sides of the image sensor module 12. The second side 12b is a side extending along the Y direction. In other words, one end of the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is connected to the third sub-connecting piece 1321, the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 extends along the Y direction, and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is spaced apart from the second side 12b. The other end of the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is connected to the second connecting piece 133.
[0099] For optional reference, see Fig.13 , the first side 12a and the second side 12b are the opposite sides of the image sensor module 12. The second side 12b is the other side extending along the X direction. In other words, one end of the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is connected to the third sub-connecting piece 1321, the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 first extends along the Y direction and then extends along the X direction to the second side 12b, and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is spaced apart from the second side 12b. The other end of the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is connected to the second connecting piece 133.
[0100] In this embodiment, the second connecting piece 133 and the fixed connecting member 131 are located on different sides of the image sensor module 12. Due to the arrangement of the fixed connecting member 131, the first connecting piece 132 on the side where the fixed connecting member 131 is located is not easy to move in the XY plane, that is, the side where the fixed block 1313 is located has some restrictions on the movement of the first connecting piece 132 in the XY plane, so the fixed block 1313 and the second connecting piece 133 are arranged on different sides, so that the second connecting piece 133 can move with the image sensor module 12 in the XY plane.
[0101] Further optionally, the surface where the third sub-connecting piece 1321 is located is perpendicular to the surface where the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is located. The surface where the third sub-connecting piece 1321 is located and the surface where the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is located are both perpendicular to the first circuit board 11. For example, the first circuit board 11 is parallel to the XY plane. The surface where the third sub-connecting piece 1321 is located is parallel to the XZ plane, and the surface where the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is located is parallel to the YZ plane.
[0102] The third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 form a three-dimensional structure. The third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 both have a certain extension length in the Z direction. Compared with the linear connection structure in the XY plane, the third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 provided in the present application are not easy to deform in the Z direction. At the same time, the third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 are vertically arranged, and the angle between the third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is not easy to deform. Therefore, when translation compensation or rotation compensation is required in the XY plane, the suspension connecting piece 13 is not easy to deform in the Z direction, and can also maintain its shape during translation compensation or rotation compensation.
[0103] The present application does not specifically limit the lengths of the third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322. Optionally, when the first side 12a and the second side 12b are adjacent sides of the image sensor module 12, the length of the third sub-connecting piece 1321 is slightly greater than half of the first side 12a of the image sensor module 12. The length of the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is slightly greater than half of the second side 12b of the image sensor module 12.
[0104] See also Fig.14 The second connecting piece 133 includes a fifth sub-connecting piece 1331 and a sixth sub-connecting piece 1332 .
[0105] Optionally, the fifth sub-connecting piece 1331 and the sixth sub-connecting piece 1332 are connected by bending. The fifth sub-connecting piece 1331 and the sixth sub-connecting piece 1332 are interconnected as a whole.
[0106] Optional, please also see Figure 5 , Fig.12 and Fig.14 , the fifth sub-connecting piece 1331 extends from one end of the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 toward the first circuit board 11 and connects to the sixth sub-connecting piece 1332. The sixth sub-connecting piece 1332 extends toward the image sensor module 12 and is fixedly connected to the image sensor module 12. Specifically, the surface where the fifth sub-connecting piece 1331 is located may be located in the YZ plane. The surface where the sixth sub-connecting piece 1332 is located may be located in the XY plane.
[0107] In this embodiment, the fifth sub-connecting piece 1331 is provided. On the one hand, the fifth sub-connecting piece 1331 is connected to the first connecting piece 132. On the other hand, the fifth sub-connecting piece 1331 can be deformed in the XY plane under the driving force, so that the image sensor module 12 can move in the XY plane under the driving force.
[0108] Of course, in other embodiments, the fifth sub-connecting plate 1331 may not be provided, and the sixth sub-connecting plate 1332 is directly connected to the second connecting plate 133 .
[0109] Optionally, the present application does not impose any specific limitation on the width and thickness of each sub-connecting piece.
[0110] Optional, see Fig.15 The suspension connector 13 further includes a stopper 134. The stopper 134 includes a first sub-stopper 1341 and a second sub-stopper 1342 that are interconnected as one body and bent. The first sub-stopper 1341 is fixedly connected to the third sub-connecting piece 1321. The second sub-stopper 1342 is fixedly connected to the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322. The bottom of the stopper 134 is spaced apart from the first circuit board 11.
[0111] Since the third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 are both in the shape of thin sheets, when the image sensor module 12 is driven by a force, the angle between the third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 may change, thereby absorbing a portion of the driving force, resulting in inaccurate movement of the image sensor module 12 .
[0112] The limit block 134 is a rigid structure, and is used to keep the first sub-connecting piece 1311 and the second sub-connecting piece 1312 in shape in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, so as to avoid the angle between the third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 changing when performing movement or rotation compensation, thereby absorbing part of the driving force and causing inaccurate compensation of the image sensor module 12, thereby further improving the anti-shake compensation stability of the image sensor module 12.
[0113] In this embodiment, the connection position of the third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322 is strengthened by designing a limit block 134 to maintain the bending angle of the third sub-connecting piece 1321 and the fourth sub-connecting piece 1322, reduce the deformation of the suspension connecting member 13 during the movement compensation process, and further improve the anti-shake compensation stability of the image sensor module 12.
[0114] The present application does not make any specific limitation on the material of the limit block 134. For example, the material of the limit block 134 includes, but is not limited to, plastic, metal, etc. The limit block 134 has a certain rigidity. Optionally, the limit block 134 is a plastic block, which can reduce the weight of the limit block 134. The limit block 134 can be integrally formed with the first connecting piece 132 by injection molding, which can improve the connection firmness between the limit block 134 and the first connecting piece 132. In addition, the first connecting piece 132 can be embedded in the limit block 134 to further improve the connection firmness between the limit block 134 and the first connecting piece 132.

The two first connecting pieces 132 are symmetrically arranged. The first connecting piece 132 in this embodiment has the same structure as the first connecting piece 132 in the first embodiment. The first side edge 12a and the second side edge 12b are respectively the adjacent two sides of the image sensor module 12. The second connecting piece 133 (see Fig. 22 The number of the fifth sub-connecting piece 1331 and the sixth sub-connecting piece 1332 is two. The two second connecting pieces 133 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the image sensor module 12 .
[0126] In this embodiment, the two first connecting pieces 132 form a C structure.

[0129] The two first connecting pieces 132 are respectively located at two diagonal sides of the image sensor module 12. The first connecting piece 132 in this embodiment may be the first connecting piece 132 in the embodiment of the first hanging connector 13.

[0130] In this embodiment, the two first connecting pieces 132 form two diagonal L structures. Under the driving force, the two first connecting pieces 132 and the two fifth sub-connecting pieces 1331 can be deformed, so that the image sensor module 12 moves in the XY plane under the driving force and the suspension connector 13 is not easy to deform along the Z direction. In addition, the two first connecting pieces 132 and the two second connecting pieces 133 are all arranged diagonally symmetrically, which can provide a more balanced deformation amount and deformation force in the XY plane to improve the accuracy of displacement compensation in all directions.
[0131] See also Fig.25 , Fig.25 The suspension connection member 13 shown is Fig.24 The difference of the hanging connector 13 shown is that the fixed connector 131 further includes a fixed block 1313. The hanging connector 13 further includes a limit block 134.
[0132] In the sixth embodiment of the suspension connector 13, please refer to Fig.26, the first side 12a and the second side 12b are respectively the adjacent two sides of the image sensor module 12. The number of the fixed connecting members 131 is two, the number of the first connecting pieces 132 is four, and the number of the second connecting pieces 133 is two. The two fixed connecting members 131 are respectively arranged at intervals with the first side 12a and the third side 12c opposite to the image sensor module 12. The four first connecting pieces 132 are respectively located at the four corners of the image sensor module 12 and are connected in pairs to form a ring. The two second connecting pieces 133 are respectively located at the second side 12b and the fourth side 12d opposite to the image sensor module 12 and are arranged at intervals.
[0133] Optionally, the two fixing connectors 131 may be respectively opposite to the center position of the first side 12 a and the center position of the third side 12 c of the image sensor module 12 .
[0134] The four first connecting pieces 132 are respectively located outside the four corners of the image sensor module 12. The first connecting piece 132 in this embodiment can be the first connecting piece 132 in the embodiment of the first hanging connector 13. The two second connecting pieces 133 are respectively arranged at intervals with the second side 12b and the fourth side 12d opposite to the image sensor module 12 to be connected to the second side 12b and the fourth side 12d of the image sensor module 12.
[0135] See also Fig. 27 , Fig. 27 The suspension connection member 13 shown is Fig.26 The difference of the hanging connector 13 shown is that the fixed connector 131 further includes a fixed block 1313. The hanging connector 13 further includes a limit block 134.
[0136] When the image sensor module 12 is driven along the +X direction, the first connecting piece 132 and the two fifth sub-connecting pieces 1331 on the side of the X direction are deformed, so that the image sensor module 12 moves along the +X direction relative to the first circuit board 11. When the image sensor module 12 is driven along the +Y direction, the first connecting piece 132 on the side of the Y direction is deformed, so that the image sensor module 12 moves along the +Y direction relative to the first circuit board 11. When the image sensor module 12 receives driving forces in the +X and -Y directions at the same time, the first connecting piece 132 and the two fifth sub-connecting pieces 1331 on the sides of the X and Y directions are deformed, so that the image sensor module 12 rotates, and so on, so that displacement compensation in any direction of the XY plane can be achieved.
[0137] In this embodiment, the four first connecting pieces 132 form four diagonal L structures and are connected to form a ring shape to increase the movement balance of the suspension connector 13 in the XY plane under the action of external force. For example, when subjected to a force in the X direction, the suspension connector 13 moves in the X direction as a whole, and when subjected to a force in the Y direction, the suspension connector 13 moves in the Y direction as a whole, reducing the absorption of part of the driving force due to the deformation of the suspension connector 13 in the XY plane, resulting in the unequal application of the driving force and the movement process of the suspension connector 13, and reducing the anti-shake compensation accuracy, so as to improve the accuracy of displacement compensation in all directions. Under the driving force, the four first connecting pieces 132 and the two fifth sub-connecting pieces 1331 can be deformed, so that the image sensor module 12 moves in the XY plane under the driving force and the suspension connector 13 is not easily deformed in the Z direction. In addition, the two fixed connectors 131 can increase the connection strength between the suspension connector 13 and the first circuit board 11. The two fixed connectors 131 are symmetrically arranged to increase the uniformity of the fixed connection force of the suspension connector 13 to improve the accuracy of displacement compensation in all directions.
[0138] In addition, in this embodiment, the plane where the first connecting piece 132 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the first circuit board 11 is located, so the space occupied by the first connecting piece 132 in the XY plane is small, which is conducive to miniaturization of the image sensor module 12.
[0139] The suspension connector 13 is described in detail below from the perspective of elastic coefficient.
[0140] Optionally, the elastic coefficient of the suspension connector 13 in the plane where the first circuit board 11 is located is smaller than the elastic coefficient of the suspension connector 13 in the plane perpendicular to the first circuit board 11. In other words, the suspension connector 13 is more likely to deform in the XY plane, thereby making it easier for the image sensor module 12 to overcome the force of the suspension connector 13 under the driving force and to move in the XY plane. Moreover, the driving force for moving the image sensor module 12 in the XY plane can be set to be smaller, thereby reducing the design requirements for the driving member.
[0141] In addition, the suspension connector 13 is less likely to deform in the Z direction, and has sufficient rigidity in the Z direction to support the entire image sensor module 12 and limit the movement of the image sensor module 12 in the Z direction, so that the image sensor module 12 will not deform in the Z direction when moving in the XY plane under the driving force. On the one hand, it avoids the Z direction deformation causing the driving force and the moving displacement to be unequal, and on the other hand, it avoids the posture change of the image sensor module 12 due to the Z direction deformation, which affects the reception of light and imaging.
[0142] Optionally, the elastic coefficient of the suspension connector 13 in the plane where the first circuit board 11 is located is 10 to 100 mN / mm. Optionally, the elastic coefficient of the suspension connector 13 in the plane where the first circuit board 11 is located includes but is not limited to 10 mN / mm, 20 mN / mm, 30 mN / mm, 40 mN / mm, 50 mN / mm, 60 mN / mm, 70 mN / mm, 80 mN / mm, 90 mN / mm, 100 mN / mm. If the elastic coefficient of the suspension connector 13 in the plane where the first circuit board 11 is located is too large, for example, greater than 100 mN / mm, it may cause the suspension connector 13 to be difficult to deform in the plane where the first circuit board 11 is located, and a larger driving force is required to drive the image sensor module 12 to perform displacement compensation in the plane where the first circuit board 11 is located, which has higher design requirements for the driver, or causes the size of the driver to be designed to be larger.
[0143] Optionally, the elastic coefficient of the suspension connector 13 in a plane perpendicular to the first circuit board 11 is 1000-3000 mN / mm. Optionally, the elastic coefficient of the suspension connector 13 in the plane where the first circuit board 11 is located includes but is not limited to 1000mN / mm, 1100mN / mm, 1200mN / mm, 1300mN / mm, 1400mN / mm, 1500mN / mm, 1600mN / mm, 1700mN / mm, 1800mN / mm, 1900mN / mm, 2000mN / mm, 2100mN / mm, 2200mN / mm, 2300mN / mm, 2400mN / mm, 2500mN / mm, 2600mN / mm, 2700mN / mm, 2800mN / mm, 2900mN / mm and 3000mN / mm. If the elastic coefficient of the suspension connector 13 in the plane perpendicular to the first circuit board 11 is too small, for example, less than 1000mN / mm, the suspension connector 13 may be easily deformed in the plane perpendicular to the first circuit board 11. The deformation in the Z direction causes the driving force and the movement displacement to be unequal. On the other hand, the posture of the image sensor module 12 changes due to the deformation in the Z direction, which affects the reception of light and imaging.
[0144] Optional, see Fig. 27 and Fig.28 The image sensor assembly 10 further includes a first connection seat 141 and a second connection seat 142. Optionally, the first connection seat 141 extends along the X direction, and the second connection seat 142 extends along the X direction. The first connection seat 141, the second connection seat 142 and the image sensor module 12 are all arranged in a space surrounded by the suspension connector 13.
[0145] The first connection base 141 is disposed on the first circuit board 11 and is located between the fixed connection member 131 and the first side 12 a of the image sensor module 12 .
[0146] The second connection base 142 is disposed on the image sensor module 12 and close to the first side 12a of the image sensor module 12. The first connection base 141 and the second connection base 142 can be disposed in parallel or nearly parallel. The first connection base 141 and the second connection base 142 are disposed at an interval.
[0147] See also Fig. 27 and Fig.28 The image sensor assembly 10 further includes a plurality of elastic conductive connectors 143. One end of each of the elastic conductive connectors 143 is fixed to the first connection seat 141, and the other end of each of the elastic conductive connectors 143 is fixedly connected to the second connection seat 142, so as to achieve electrical conduction between the image sensor module 12 and the first circuit board 11, and also allow the image sensor module 12 to maintain electrical conduction with the first circuit board 11 when the image sensor module 12 moves relative to the first circuit board 11.
[0148] Optional, see Fig.29 Each of the elastic conductive connecting members 143 includes a first connecting plate 1431, a flexible connecting wire 1432 and a second connecting plate 1433. The first connecting plate 1431 is fixed on the first connecting seat 141. The second connecting plate 1433 is fixed on the second connecting seat 142. A plurality of first connecting plates 1431 are sequentially spaced along the X direction on the first connecting seat 141. A plurality of second connecting plates 1433 are sequentially spaced along the X direction on the second connecting seat 142.
[0149] The plurality of flexible connecting wires 1432 are arranged at intervals. Both ends of each flexible connecting wire 1432 are respectively connected between one of the first connecting seats 141 and one of the second connecting seats 142. The first connecting plate 1431, the flexible connecting wire 1432 and the second connecting plate 1433 are sequentially connected and electrically conductive.
[0150] The flexible connecting wire 1432 can ensure that the first connecting disk 1431 and the second connecting disk 1433 are still electrically connected when they are displaced to a certain extent in any direction of the XY plane.
[0151] Optionally, the flexible connecting wire 1432 is a silicon wire. The first connecting plate 1431, the plurality of flexible connecting wires 1432 and the second connecting plate 1433 form an integrated structure through a MEMS process, and are formed into a three-dimensional structure through extrusion.
[0152] Specifically, in the present application, a MEMS process can be used to prepare a plurality of the elastic conductive connectors 143 on a substrate through deposition, graphic transfer, etching and other processes, and the plurality of elastic conductive connectors 143 are peeled off from the substrate. The peeled elastic conductive connectors 143 are extruded to form a flexible connecting wire 1432 with a three-dimensional structure, so that the flexible connecting wire 1432 can ensure a certain deformation space in any direction of the XY plane, so as to accommodate a certain displacement of the first connecting plate 1431 and the second connecting plate 1433 in any direction of the XY plane, and maintain electrical conductivity between the first connecting plate 1431 and the second connecting plate 1433.
[0153] The flexible connecting wire 1432 may be a two-dimensional pattern made by MEMS technology and a three-dimensional structure formed by extrusion.
[0154] Optional, see Fig.29 The flexible connecting wire 1432 includes a first connecting arm 1434, an intermediate connecting arm 1435 and a second connecting arm 1436. Optionally, the first connecting arm 1434, the intermediate connecting arm 1435 and the second connecting arm 1436 extend in the Y direction in sequence.
[0155] One end of the first connecting arm 1434 is connected to the first connecting plate 1431. The first connecting arm 1434 extends along the first side edge 12a and in a direction perpendicular to the first circuit board 11, and is connected to one end of the middle connecting arm 1435. In other words, the first connecting arm 1434 extends toward the +Z direction and the X direction. Further optionally, the first connecting arm 1434 may extend in an arc-shaped trajectory.
[0156] The middle connecting arm 1435 extends along the third side 12c of the image sensor module 12. In other words, the middle connecting arm 1435 extends along the Y direction.
[0157] One end of the second connecting arm 1436 is connected to the other end of the middle connecting arm 1435 , and the second connecting arm 1436 extends along the first side 12 a and in a direction perpendicular to the first circuit board 11 . The other end of the second connecting arm 1436 is connected to the second connecting plate 1433 .
[0158] In other words, the second connecting arm 1436 extends toward the -Z direction and the X direction. Further optionally, the second connecting arm 1436 may extend in an arc-shaped trajectory. Further, the first connecting arm 1434 and the second connecting arm 1436 are mirror-symmetrical structures, wherein the symmetry planes of the first connecting arm 1434 and the second connecting arm 1436 are parallel to the XZ plane.
[0159] For more details, please refer to Fig.29The flexible connecting wire 1432 includes a first fitting arm 1437 and a second fitting arm 1438. The first fitting arm 1437 is connected between the first connecting plate 1431 and the first connecting arm 1434. The second fitting arm 1438 is connected between the second connecting plate 1433 and the second connecting arm 1436. The first fitting arm 1437 is fitted on the first connecting seat 141.
[0160] The first laminating arm 1437 and the second laminating arm 1438 in the middle part extend in the Y-axis direction. The extension directions of the first laminating arm 1437 and the second laminating arm 1438 located at the two side parts intersect with both the X-direction and the Y-direction. The extension direction of the first connecting arm 1434 in the Y-direction is opposite to the extension direction of the first laminating arm 1437. For example, the first laminating arm 1437 extends in the +X and -Y directions, the first connecting arm 1434 extends in the +X, +Y, and +Z directions, the middle connecting arm 1435 extends in the +X direction, the second connecting arm 1436 extends in the +X, -Y, and -Z directions, and the second laminating arm 1438 extends in the +X and +Y directions.
[0161] When the image sensor module 12 moves along the X direction, a deformable space can be formed between the first connecting arm 1434 and the second connecting arm 1436 along the X direction, and the angle between the first connecting arm 1434 and the second connecting arm 1436 along the X direction can change as the position of the image sensor module 12 changes, so as to absorb and / or compensate for the distance generated when the image sensor module 12 moves along the X direction;
[0162] When the image sensor module 12 moves along the Y direction, a deformable space is formed between the first connecting arm 1434 and the second connecting arm 1436 along the Y direction. The angle between the first connecting arm 1434 and the second connecting arm 1436 along the Y direction can change with the position of the image sensor module 12 to absorb and / or compensate for the distance generated when the image sensor module 12 moves along the Y direction.
[0163] In other embodiments, for example, the first fitting arm 1437 extends along the +X and -Y directions, the first connecting arm 1434 extends along the +X, +Y, +Z directions, the middle connecting arm 1435 extends along the +X direction, the second connecting arm 1436 extends along the +X, -Y, -Z directions, and the second fitting arm 1438 extends along the +X and +Y directions.
[0164] Optional, see Fig.28 The plurality of elastic conductive connecting members 143 are divided into a first group of elastic conductive connecting members 143a and a second group of elastic conductive connecting members 143b along the first side 12a.
[0165] The first group of elastic conductive connectors 143a and the second group of elastic conductive connectors 143b are symmetrically arranged along the first side 12a. The middle connecting arm 1435 of the first group of elastic conductive connectors 143a deviates toward the side away from the second group of elastic conductive connectors 143b. The middle connecting arm 1435 of the second group of elastic conductive connectors 143b deviates toward the side away from the first group of elastic conductive connectors 143a. The first group of elastic conductive connectors 143a and the second group of elastic conductive connectors 143b are symmetrical about the Y direction to improve the overall force uniformity of the elastic conductive connectors 143.
[0166] For example, when the image sensor module 12 is subjected to a driving force in the +X direction, the first connecting arm 1434 of the first group of elastic conductive connecting members 143a deforms as the image sensor module 12 moves in the +X direction. Since the first connecting arm 1434 of the first group of elastic conductive connecting members 143a extends in the +X, +Y, and +Z directions, the first connecting arm 1434 of the first group of elastic conductive connecting members 143a will bring a force in the -Y direction during the movement in the +X direction, and the first connecting arm 1434 of the second group of elastic conductive connecting members 143b will bring a force in the +Y direction during the movement in the +X direction. Therefore, the first group of elastic conductive connecting members 143a and the second group of elastic conductive connecting members 143b are symmetrically arranged about the Y direction so that the forces in the Y direction during the above movement process can be offset.
[0167] In this embodiment, the elastic conductive connecting member 143 is roughly in the shape of a "J" in the YZ plane. In other embodiments, the elastic conductive connecting member 143 can also be in a horizontal "S", an inverted "U", a horizontal "C", etc. in the YZ plane.
[0168] Optionally, the plurality of elastic conductive connectors 143 in this embodiment are arranged on one side of the image sensor module 12. Furthermore, since the elastic conductive connector 143 in the present application is made by MEMS process, the size of the elastic conductive connector 143 is small. For example, the size of the flexible connecting wire 1432 is micro-nanoscale (e.g., 1 to 10 um), which is smaller than the size of the metal traces in the traditional circuit board process (e.g., 50 um). Since the size of each flexible connecting wire 1432 is small, it creates conditions for moving all the electrical connection lines between the image sensor module 12 and the first circuit board 11 out from the same side.
[0169] Compared with TSA-type image sensors in general traditional technologies, TSA-type image sensors not only have a very complex manufacturing process, are extremely difficult and expensive, but also because metal traces are designed around the image sensor to electrically connect the image sensor and the circuit board, the size of the image sensor component is too large, for example, the module plane size is 23*22mm.
[0170] On the one hand, the present application separates the elastic conductive connector 143 from the suspension connector 13, and most of the area of the suspension connector 13 extends along the Z direction, so that the area occupied by the suspension connector 13 in the XY plane is small; the elastic conductive connector 143 is made by MEMS technology, so the size of the elastic conductive connector 143 is small. Since the size of each flexible connecting wire 1432 is small, it creates conditions for moving the electrical connection lines between the image sensor module 12 and the first circuit board 11 from the same side. In addition, since the elastic conductive connector 143 does not need to be considered to be evenly distributed around the image sensor, only the electrical signal connection between the image sensor and the first circuit board 11 needs to be considered. All of the above create conditions for setting the electrical connection between the elastic conductive connector 143 and the first circuit board 11 on one side of the image sensor module 12. On the one hand, the reduction in the size of the elastic conductive connector 143 can reduce the size of the entire module. On the other hand, setting the elastic conductive connector 143 on one side of the image sensor module 12 can also further reduce the size of the entire module, for example, the module plane size is 20*20mm.
[0171] Optional, see Fig.30 , the image sensor assembly 10 includes a plurality of first conductive traces 144 and a plurality of second conductive traces 145 .
[0172] Each of the first conductive traces 144 electrically connects the image sensor module 12 and one end of the elastic conductive connection member 143 . Each of the second conductive traces 145 electrically connects the first circuit board 11 and the other end of the elastic conductive connection member 143 .
[0173] In this embodiment, the first conductive trace 144 is used to conduct the electrical signal of the pad of the image sensor module 12 to one end of the elastic conductive connector 143, specifically the first connection pad 1431. The electrical signal of the first connection pad 1431 of the elastic conductive connector 143 is conducted to the second connection pad 1433 via the flexible connecting wire 1432. The second conductive trace 145 is used to conduct the electrical signal of the second connection pad 1433 to the pad of the first circuit board 11, thereby achieving electrical signal conduction between the first circuit board 11 and the image sensor module 12.
[0174] The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the materials of the first conductive trace 144 and the second conductive trace 145. For example, the first conductive trace 144 and the second conductive trace 145 are both gold wires, and the two ends of the first conductive trace 144 are electrically connected to the pad of the image sensor module 12 and the first connection pad 1431 through a bonding process, and the two ends of the second conductive trace 145 are electrically connected to the pad of the first circuit board 11 and the second connection pad 1433 through a bonding process.
[0175] In other words, the electrical signal from the image sensor module 12 is conducted to the electrical connection pad on the first connection plate 1431 (the moving part of the MEMS silicon structure) through the gold wire (the first conductive trace 144), and the electrical connection pad and the flexible connecting wire 1432 (silicon wire) are electrically conductive, and the signal is conducted to the electrical connection pad on the second connection plate 1433 (the fixed part of the MEMS silicon structure), and the signal is again conducted to the first circuit board 11 through the gold wire (the second conductive trace 145).
[0176] Optionally, the first connection plate 1431 (the moving part of the MEMS silicon structure) and the first connection seat 141 on the image sensor module 12 are fixed by glue, and can perform translational and rotational movements relative to the second connection plate 1433 (the fixed part of the MEMS silicon structure) after external force is applied.
[0177] The second connection plate 1433 (the fixing part of the MEMS silicon structure) and the second connection seat 142 are fixed by glue and finally fixed on the first circuit board 11 .
[0178] The specific structure of the image sensor module 12 is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0179] Optional, see Fig.30 The image sensor module 12 includes a second circuit board 121 and an image sensor 122. The image sensor 122 can be soldered on the second circuit board 121 by flip chip bonding to form a miniaturized module.
[0180] The second circuit board 121 includes a first through hole portion 1211 and a peripheral portion 1212 arranged around the first through hole portion 1211. The image sensor 122 is located between the second circuit board 121 and the first circuit board 11. The photosensitive area of the image sensor 122 faces the first through hole portion 1211 and receives light from the outside through the first through hole. The peripheral portion 1212 is provided with a plurality of first conductive portions (not shown). A plurality of second conductive portions (not shown) are provided on a side of the second circuit board 121 facing the image sensor 122. The first conductive portion is electrically connected to the second conductive portion, and the specific electrical connection method includes but is not limited to welding.
[0181] In general technology, the image sensor 122 is packaged and then soldered to the second circuit board 121. On the one hand, a shell needs to be provided after the image sensor 122 is packaged, which increases the thickness between the image sensor 122 and the second circuit board 121 and the module size. On the other hand, the image sensor 122 and the second circuit board 121 need to be transferred multiple times, which increases the transmission distance of the electrical signal between the image sensor 122 and the second circuit board 121.
[0182] In this embodiment, the image sensor 122 is soldered on the second circuit board 121 by using a chip flipping process. The chip flipping process is an advanced integrated circuit packaging technology. Different from the traditional packaging technology in which the chip is packaged at the bottom and connected to the packaging substrate through gold wires, the flip chip technology directly flips the image sensor 122 chip and mounts it on the packaging substrate (second circuit board 121), and then uses tiny solder joints or conductive glue for connection.
[0183] In this embodiment, the image sensor 122 is soldered on the second circuit board 121 by using a flip-chip process. Firstly, the size of the formed image sensor module 12 is smaller, which can significantly reduce the size and thickness of the image sensor module 12. Secondly, the flip-chip technology can shorten the electrical signal transmission distance between the image sensor 122 and the second circuit board 121, reduce the adverse effects such as resistance and inductance, and thus obtain better electrical performance. Furthermore, since the image sensor 122 chip is directly in contact with the second circuit board 121, the heat dissipation effect is better, which can improve the stability and reliability of the image sensor 122 chip. In addition, the image sensor 122 chip in the flip-chip technology is directly and tightly combined with the second circuit board 121, so that it has higher impact resistance. The flip-chip welding process can simplify the packaging process, reduce the required materials and equipment, and reduce production costs.
[0184] The following is an example of a driving structure that provides driving force for displacement compensation of the image sensor module 12 with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0185] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The image sensor assembly 10 further includes a first magnetic driving member 151. The first magnetic driving member 151 is disposed on the image sensor module 12 and is close to the second side edge 12b of the image sensor module 12.
[0186] Optionally, the first magnetic driving member 151 may extend along the direction Y. The first magnetic driving member 151 is in a long strip shape.
[0187] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The image sensor assembly 10 further includes a bracket 150 and a second magnetic driving member 152 .
[0188] The bracket 150 is fixed on the first circuit board 11. The bracket 150 is covered on the first circuit board 11, and the image sensor module 12, the suspension connector 13, etc. are all accommodated in the space where the bracket 150 is located.
[0189] The second magnetic driving member 152 is fixed on the bracket 150. The extension direction of the second magnetic driving member 152 is the same as the extension direction of the first magnetic driving member 151. The second magnetic driving member 152 is arranged opposite to the first magnetic driving member 151. Further, the first magnetic driving member 151 and the second magnetic driving member 152 are directly opposite.
[0190] The second magnetic driving member 152 cooperates with the first magnetic driving member 151 to drive the image sensor module 12 to move or rotate relative to the first circuit board 11 .
[0191] Optionally, the first magnetic driving member 151 is an electromagnetic coil, and the second magnetic driving member 152 is a permanent magnet. In this case, the first magnetic driving member 151 can be electrically connected to the controller on the first circuit board 11 through the aforementioned elastic conductive connecting member 143. Of course, in other embodiments, the first magnetic driving member 151 is a permanent magnet, and the second magnetic driving member 152 is an electromagnetic coil.
[0192] Specifically, when displacement compensation and anti-shake are required in the X direction, the image sensor assembly 10 forms an electrical signal according to the displacement compensation amount, and the electrical signal is input to the first magnetic driving member 151. The first magnetic driving member 151 generates a displacement along the X direction in response to the electrical signal, thereby driving the image sensor module 12 to move relative to the first circuit board 11 to perform displacement compensation and anti-shake in the X direction.
[0193] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the second magnetic driving member 152 includes a first magnet 1521, an intermediate connecting member 1522 and a second magnet 1523 arranged in sequence. The arrangement direction of the first magnet 1521, the intermediate connecting member 1522 and the second magnet 1523 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second magnetic driving member 152. Optionally, the intermediate connecting member 1522 is a non-magnetic structure. The first magnetic driving member 151 can cut the magnetic induction lines of the first magnet 1521 and the second magnet 1523 during the movement to improve the responsiveness of the movement of the first magnetic driving member 151 under the electrical signal.
[0194] Optional, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The image sensor assembly 10 further includes a third magnetic driving member 153. The third magnetic driving member 153 is disposed on the image sensor module 12 and is close to the third side edge 12c of the image sensor module 12 (see Fig.24 ).
[0195] In this embodiment, the first side edge 12a and the third side edge 12c are adjacent sides.
[0196] Optionally, the third magnetic driving member 153 may extend along the X direction. The third magnetic driving member 153 is in a strip shape. The third magnetic driving member 153 is located at a side away from the elastic conductive connecting member 143 .
[0197] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The image sensor assembly 10 further includes a fourth magnetic driving member 154. The fourth magnetic driving member 154 is fixed to the bracket 150. The fourth magnetic driving member 154 is arranged opposite to the third magnetic driving member 153. Further, the fourth magnetic driving member 154 is directly opposite to the third magnetic driving member 153.
[0198] The second magnetic driving member 152 , the first magnetic driving member 151 , the fourth magnetic driving member 154 and the third magnetic driving member 153 cooperate to drive the image sensor module 12 to move or rotate relative to the first circuit board 11 .
[0199] Optionally, the third magnetic driving member 153 is an electromagnetic coil, and the fourth magnetic driving member 154 is a permanent magnet. In this case, the third magnetic driving member 153 can be electrically connected to the controller on the first circuit board 11 through the aforementioned elastic conductive connecting member 143. Of course, in other embodiments, the third magnetic driving member 153 is a permanent magnet, and the fourth magnetic driving member 154 is an electromagnetic coil.
[0200] Specifically, when displacement compensation and anti-shake performance in the Y direction is required, the image sensor component 10 forms an electrical signal according to the displacement compensation amount, and the electrical signal is input to the third magnetic driving component 153. The third magnetic driving component 153 responds to the electrical signal and generates a displacement along the Y direction, thereby driving the image sensor module 12 to move relative to the first circuit board 11 to perform displacement compensation and anti-shake performance in the Y direction.
[0201] When clockwise rotation compensation and anti-shake are required, the image sensor component 10 forms a first electrical signal and a second electrical signal according to the rotation compensation amount, and the first electrical signal is input to the third magnetic driving component 153. The third magnetic driving component 153 generates a displacement along the X direction in response to the first electrical signal, and the second electrical signal is input to the fourth magnetic driving component 154. The fourth magnetic driving component 154 generates a displacement along the Y direction in response to the second electrical signal, thereby driving the image sensor module 12 to rotate relative to the first circuit board 11 to perform clockwise rotation compensation and anti-shake.
[0202] Optional, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bracket 150 has a second through hole portion 150a. The second through hole portion 150a is directly opposite to the photosensitive area of the image sensor assembly 10. That is, it is directly opposite to the lens assembly, so that the light incident from the lens assembly is incident to the photosensitive area of the image sensor assembly 10 through the second through hole portion 150a and the first through hole portion 1211.
[0203] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The image sensor assembly 10 further includes a filter 16. The filter 16 is disposed on the bracket 150 and covers the second through hole portion 150a.
[0204] The filter 16 includes but is not limited to a blue glass filter. The filter 16 is used to filter infrared light, reduce halo problems, and reduce color deviation, stray light, and ghost problems.
[0205] The electronic device 1000 further includes a gyro sensor (not shown) and a controller (not shown).
[0206] When the hand shakes, the motion data is detected by the gyroscope sensor and transmitted to the controller. The controller sends an electrical signal to at least one of the autofocus motor 30, the first magnetic driver 151, and the third magnetic driver 153 according to the motion data. The position of the lens assembly 20 and / or the image sensor module 12 is adjusted to compensate for the shake, thereby maintaining the stability of the image. It can be used to take static photos and shoot in low-light environments, effectively reducing image deviation caused by hand shaking or other unstable factors, and clear photos can be taken even in low-light environments.
[0207] Optionally, the camera module 100 further includes a variable aperture (not shown).
[0208] The variable aperture is disposed in the lens assembly 20 or outside the lens assembly 20. The axis of the variable aperture is collinear with the optical axis of the lens assembly 20.
[0209] Since the displacement compensation module in the XY plane in the present application is located on the peripheral side of the image sensor 122, it is set separately from the autofocus motor 30. Therefore, the peripheral structure of the lens assembly 20 in the present application is relatively simple, and the circuit and structure of the autofocus motor 30 are relatively simple, which can better free up space for setting the variable aperture and setting the control and adjustment structure of the variable aperture.
[0210] The present application does not specifically limit the position of the variable aperture. By adjusting the aperture size of the variable aperture, the depth of field can be controlled, the brightness can be adjusted, the shooting quality can be improved, etc.
[0211] Optionally, the camera module 100 may also be a pop-up camera or a retractable camera.
[0212] See also Fig.31 and Fig.32 The autofocus motor 30 is configured to drive the lens assembly 20 to an extended position (eg Fig.31 ) or retracted position (such as Fig.32 ).
[0213] See also Fig.31 When the lens assembly 20 is in the extended position, the distance between the lens assembly 20 and the image sensor 122 in the axial direction is a first distance. The camera module 100 is in a focus alignment state. Normal shooting can be performed at this time.
[0214] See also Fig.32 When the lens assembly 20 is in the retracted position, the distance between the lens assembly 20 and the image sensor 122 in the axial direction is a second distance. The second distance is smaller than the first distance. At this time, the camera module 100 is in the storage state to reduce the thickness of the camera module 100, thereby creating conditions for the camera module 100 to be arranged in a thinner electronic device 1000.
[0215] For some cameras with longer focal lengths, increasing the focal length means increasing the thickness of the camera module 100. However, a camera using a pop-up camera or a telescopic camera can not only effectively accommodate the camera without increasing the thickness, but also have a longer focal length when in use. In addition, the camera module 100 uses the aforementioned image sensor assembly 10, which has displacement compensation and anti-shake, and can also reduce the area of the camera module 100 in the XY plane.
[0216] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations on the present application. Ordinary technicians in the field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present application, and these improvements and modifications are also regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
