Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an optical unit with a shake correction function and a portable device comprising the optical unit with a shake correction function. Background Art

[0002] In the past, there was an optical unit with a shake correction function, which included a movable module and a fixed body, wherein the movable module had a lens and was supported on the fixed body in a manner that allowed it to move in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the lens. The fixed body surrounded the movable module from the outer peripheral side, and the movable module had a sensor substrate whose thickness direction was consistent with the extension direction of the optical axis. An image sensor (such as a CCD, etc.) was provided on the sensor substrate, and a flexible printed circuit board for connecting to external equipment, etc. was led out from the outer peripheral surface of the sensor substrate.

[0003] However, in the aforementioned optical unit with a shake correction function, as the number of image sensor pixels increases, the size of the image sensor tends to increase, and the sensor substrate also tends to increase in size, potentially protruding outward from the main body of the movable module, where the lens is located. Consequently, the length of the flexible printed circuit board (FPC) from the sensor substrate to the securing location (e.g., a hole or slit in the wall of the fixed body that surrounds the movable module) or the connection target (e.g., a control circuit board of a host device such as a mobile phone on which the optical unit is mounted) becomes shorter, reducing the flexibility of the FPC. This can easily restrict the movement of the movable module relative to the fixed body, thereby affecting the shake correction effect. If the FPC is maintained at its original length to ensure its flexibility, the fixed body must be increased in size, which results in an increase in the size of the optical unit and, in turn, the host device on which the optical unit is mounted. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention has been completed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide an optical unit with a shake correction function and a portable device including the optical unit. Even if the substrate on which the image sensor of the movable module is provided is increased due to the increase in the size of the image sensor, the optical unit can be prevented from being enlarged due to the need to determine the length of the flexible printed circuit board connecting the movable module to an external device, etc.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides an optical unit with a shake correction function, including a movable module and a fixed body, the movable module having a lens and being supported on the fixed body in a manner that allows it to move in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the lens, the fixed body surrounding the movable module from the outer peripheral side, wherein the movable module includes: a first substrate, the thickness direction of the first substrate is consistent with the extension direction of the optical axis, and an image sensor is provided on the first substrate; and a second substrate, the thickness direction of the second substrate is consistent with the extension direction of the optical axis, the second substrate is electrically connected to the first substrate in a manner of being stacked on the first substrate on the image side, and the outer shape when viewed along the optical axis of the lens is smaller than that of the first substrate, and a flexible printed circuit board is led out from the outer peripheral surface of the second substrate.

[0006] Here, “outer peripheral side” and “circumferential direction” are both based on the optical axis of the lens.

[0007] According to the optical unit with a shake correction function of the present invention, the movable module includes: a first substrate, the thickness direction of the first substrate is consistent with the extension direction of the optical axis, and the image sensor is provided on the first substrate; and a second substrate, the thickness direction of the second substrate is consistent with the extension direction of the optical axis, the second substrate is electrically connected to the first substrate in a manner of being stacked on the first substrate on the image side, and the outer shape of the second substrate when viewed along the optical axis of the lens is smaller than that of the first substrate, and a flexible printed circuit board is led out from the outer peripheral surface of the second substrate. Therefore, even if the first substrate is increased due to the increase in the size of the image sensor and the distance between the outer peripheral surface of the first substrate and the fixed body is reduced, it is easy to ensure the length of the flexible printed circuit board that connects the movable module to external equipment, etc., thereby suppressing the optical unit from being enlarged due to ensuring that the flexible printed circuit board has sufficient flexibility.

[0008] Furthermore, in the optical unit with a shake correction function of the present invention, the flexible printed circuit board preferably includes a radially extending portion and a circumferentially extending portion, wherein the radially extending portion extends from the outer peripheral surface of the second substrate toward the outer peripheral side, and the circumferentially extending portion extends circumferentially from the outer peripheral end of the radially extending portion.

[0009] Here, the so-called "radial extension portion" is not strictly required to extend in the radial direction centered on the optical axis of the lens, as long as it extends from the optical axis side of the lens toward the peripheral side as a whole. The so-called "circumferential extension portion" is not strictly required to extend in the circumferential direction centered on the optical axis of the lens, as long as it extends in the circumferential direction centered on the optical axis of the lens as a whole.

The radial extension portion extends from the outer peripheral surface of the second substrate toward the outer peripheral side, and the circumferential extension portion extends circumferentially from the end portion on the outer peripheral side of the radial extension portion. Therefore, compared with the case where the circumferential extension portion is not included, the length of the flexible printed circuit board connecting the movable module to the external device, etc. is increased, and it is easier to avoid the movement of the movable module relative to the fixed body being restricted by the flexible printed circuit board and affecting the shake correction.

[0011] In addition, in the optical unit with shake correction function of the present invention, it is preferred that the second substrate is a regular polygon, the optical axis of the lens passes through the center of the regular polygon, the radial extension portion extends from a position on the circumferential side of the side of the regular polygon that is closer to the midpoint of the side, and the circumferential extension portion extends from the end portion on the outer peripheral side of the radial extension portion toward the other side in the circumferential direction.

Therefore, it is easier to increase the length of the flexible printed circuit board connecting the movable module to external equipment, etc., and it is easier to avoid the movement of the movable module relative to the fixed body being restricted by the flexible printed circuit board and affecting the shake correction.

[0013] Furthermore, in the optical unit with a shake correcting function of the present invention, it is preferable that a plurality of the flexible printed circuit boards are provided at equal angular intervals around the optical axis of the lens.

[0015] Furthermore, in the optical unit with a shake correction function of the present invention, it is preferred that at least one of the plurality of flexible printed circuit boards is used to transmit an output signal of the image sensor, and the plurality of flexible printed circuit boards have the same shape.

[0016] According to the optical unit with a shake correction function of the present invention, the shapes of the plurality of flexible printed circuit boards are the same, and thus the manufacturing cost can be easily reduced.

[0017] Furthermore, in the optical unit with a shake correcting function of the present invention, it is preferable that the second substrate is electrically connected to the first substrate by soldering.

[0018] According to the optical unit with a shake correction function of the present invention, the second substrate is electrically connected to the first substrate by soldering, and therefore, reliability of the electrical connection between the first substrate and the second substrate can be easily ensured.

[0056] (Overall structure of the optical unit with shake correction function)

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the optical unit 1 with a shake correction function includes a movable module 100 and a fixed body 200. The movable module 100 has a lens 141 and is supported by the fixed body 200 in a manner that allows it to move in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis L of the lens 141. The fixed body 200 surrounds the movable module 100 from the outer peripheral side. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the movable module 100 includes: a first substrate 110, the thickness direction of the first substrate 110 is consistent with the extension direction of the optical axis L, and the image sensor 130 is provided on the first substrate 110; and a second substrate 120, the thickness direction of the second substrate 120 is consistent with the extension direction of the optical axis L, the second substrate 120 is electrically connected to the first substrate 110 in a manner of being stacked on the first substrate 110 on the Z2 direction side (i.e., the image side), and the outer shape when viewed along the optical axis L of the lens 141 is smaller than that of the first substrate 110; and, as shown Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a flexible printed circuit board 300 is led out from the outer peripheral surface of the second substrate 120 .

[0058] Here, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flexible printed circuit board 300 is a circuit board for transmitting output signals of the image sensor, and is led out from the outer peripheral surface of the second substrate 120 toward the outer peripheral side.

[0059] In addition, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the movable module 100 includes a movable module housing 190, and the lens 141 is housed in the movable module housing 190. Specifically, the movable module housing 190 is generally in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and has a top cover portion 191 and a cylindrical portion 193. The top cover portion 191 is in the shape of a plate whose thickness direction is consistent with the Z direction. A window portion 1911 is formed in the center of the top cover portion 191. The cylindrical portion 193 extends from the periphery of the top cover portion 191 toward the Z2 direction side, and the first substrate 110 abuts against the end of the cylindrical portion 193 on the Z2 direction side from the Z2 direction side and is fixed to the movable module housing 190, and the first substrate 110 is fixed along the window portion 1911. The outer shape of the mirror 141 when observed along the optical axis L is consistent with the outer shape of the movable module housing 190. The main body of the lens unit 140 including the lens 141 is housed in the storage cavity formed by the top cover portion 191, the cylindrical portion 193 and the first substrate 110. The main body of the lens unit 140 is arranged in the above-mentioned storage cavity in a manner that allows it to move along the Z direction. The lens unit 140 also has a protrusion that extends from the main body of the lens unit 140 in the Z1 direction and protrudes from the window portion 1911.

[0060] In addition, if Figure 2As shown, an image sensor 130 is provided on the surface of the first substrate 110 on the Z1 side. Specifically, the first substrate 110 is substantially square in shape, and the optical axis L of the lens 141 passes through the center of the square. The image sensor 130 is provided at the center of the surface of the first substrate 110 on the Z1 side. The pins of the image sensor 130 are, for example, soldered to pads on the surface of the first substrate 110 on the Z1 side. When viewed along the Z direction, the image sensor 130 is, for example, substantially square in shape, and its size is slightly smaller than that of the first substrate 110.

[0061] In addition, if Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, the second substrate 120 is electrically connected to the first substrate 110 by soldering. Specifically, the second substrate 120 is roughly square, and the optical axis L of the lens 141 passes through the center of the square. The second substrate 120 is electrically connected to the central portion of the first substrate 110 via a ball grid array (BGA).

[0062] In addition, if Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the flexible printed circuit board 300 includes a radial extension portion 310 and a circumferential extension portion 320. The radial extension portion 310 extends from the outer peripheral surface of the second substrate 120 toward the outer peripheral side, and the circumferential extension portion 320 extends from the outer peripheral end of the radial extension portion 310 along the circumferential direction. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the radial extension portion 310 extends from the side of the square that is closer to the midpoint of the side in the circumferential direction (for example, Figure 4 The circumferential extension portion 320 extends from the outer peripheral end of the radial extension portion 310 toward the other circumferential side (for example, the clockwise side of the circumferential direction). Figure 4 Furthermore, four flexible printed circuit boards 300 are provided at equal angular intervals with the optical axis L of the lens 141 as the center. Furthermore, the four flexible printed circuit boards 300 have the same shape.

[0063] In addition, if Figure 1As shown, the fixed body 200 includes a fixed body housing 290, which forms a storage chamber for accommodating the movable module 100. Specifically, the fixed body housing 290 is generally rectangular in shape and includes a top cover 291, a base 292, and a cylindrical portion 293. The top cover 291 is in the shape of a plate whose thickness direction is consistent with the Z direction. A window 2911 is formed in the center of the top cover 291 to allow light from an object to pass through and enter the lens 141 of the movable module 100. The base 292 is in the shape of a plate whose thickness direction is consistent with the Z direction and is spaced apart from the top cover 291 on the Z2 direction side. The cylindrical portion 293 connects the outer periphery of the top cover 291 and the outer periphery of the base 292. The top cover 291, the base 292, and the cylindrical portion 293 form a storage chamber for accommodating the movable module 100. In addition, a slit is formed between the cylindrical portion 293 and the base portion 292 for leading the flexible printed circuit board 300 from the above-mentioned storage cavity to the outside. At this slit, the surface of the flexible printed circuit board 300 on the Z1 direction side abuts against the cylindrical portion 293, and the surface of the flexible printed circuit board 300 on the Z2 direction side abuts against the base portion 292, thereby restricting the movement of the flexible printed circuit board 300 in the Z direction.

[0064] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, after being drawn out of the storage chamber within the fixed body housing 290 through the slit between the cylindrical portion 293 and the base portion 292, the flexible printed circuit board 300 is electrically connected to a third substrate CB of a host device (e.g., a mobile phone or other portable device) mounted on the optical unit 1, for example, at a location on the outer periphery of the movable module 100. Specifically, the third substrate CB is located on the Z1 side of the base portion 292 and is electrically connected to the third substrate CB of the host device mounted on the optical unit 1, for example, by a connector or soldering, at a location on the outer periphery of the optical unit 1.

[0065] In addition, although not shown in the figures, the optical unit 1 with a shake correction function also includes a shake correction mechanism, which includes: a magnet, which is arranged on one side of the movable module 100 and the fixed body 200 (for example, it is arranged on one side of the outer peripheral surface of the movable module 100 and the inner peripheral surface of the fixed body 200); and a coil, which is arranged on the other side of the movable module 100 and the fixed body 200 (for example, it is arranged on the other side of the outer peripheral surface of the movable module 100 and the inner peripheral surface of the fixed body 200), and cooperates with the magnet to make the movable module 100 move relative to the fixed body 200.

[0066] (Main Effects of This Embodiment)

[0067] According to the optical unit 1 with a shake correction function of this embodiment, the movable module 100 includes: a first substrate 110 whose thickness direction coincides with the direction in which the optical axis L extends, and an image sensor 130 is provided on the first substrate 110; and a second substrate 120 whose thickness direction coincides with the direction in which the optical axis L extends. The second substrate 120 is electrically connected to the first substrate 110 so as to be stacked on the first substrate 110 in the Z2 direction. The second substrate 120 has a smaller outer shape than the first substrate 110 when viewed along the optical axis L of the lens 141. The flexible printed circuit board 300 extends from the outer peripheral surface of the second substrate 120. Therefore, even if the first substrate 110 is increased in size due to the increase in the size of the image sensor 130, and the distance between the outer peripheral surface of the first substrate 110 and the fixed body 200 is reduced, it is easy to ensure the length of the flexible printed circuit board 300 for connecting the movable module 100 to external equipment, etc., thereby preventing the optical unit 1 from increasing in size due to ensuring sufficient flexibility of the flexible printed circuit board 300.
