[0027] In related technologies, in order to meet people's requirements for the photo quality of electronic devices and to cover a variety of photo shooting scenarios, multiple camera modules are often needed to support the photo shooting function of electronic devices. Multiple camera modules result in the camera modules of electronic devices occupying a large volume.

[0028] To address the aforementioned technical problems, an embodiment of this disclosure provides a camera module and an electronic device. The camera module includes: a first camera module comprising a first prism group; a second camera module comprising a second prism group; a photosensitive component and a first reflector disposed within the first camera module; wherein a first light ray incident through the first prism group is incident on the photosensitive component through the first reflector; and a second light ray incident through the second prism group is incident on the photosensitive component through the first reflector.

[0029] This disclosure enables the light from both the first camera module and the second camera module to be projected onto the same photosensitive component by setting a first reflector, thereby allowing the first camera module and the second camera module to share the same photosensitive component, reducing the size of the camera module and the component cost of the camera module.

[0030] It is understood that the camera module disclosed herein can be used in any of the following types of terminals.

[0031] It is understood that the terminal involved in this disclosure may also be referred to as a terminal device, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc., and is a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user.

It should be understood that the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the specific technology or specific device form adopted by the terminal.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a camera module according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the camera module may include: housing 100, a first camera module, and a second camera module.

[0034] The photosensitive component 30 and the first reflector 40 can be disposed within the first camera module. The photosensitive component 30 can be used to convert light signals into electrical signals; for example, the photosensitive component 30 may include a photosensitive chip and a filter.

[0035] The housing 100 can be a camera module skeleton structure or a frame structure, and the housing 100 can accommodate the components of the camera module. The first camera module and the second camera module can be fixedly connected to the housing 100.

[0036] The first camera module may include a first light inlet 101 and a first prism group 11. A first light ray L1 may enter the first prism group 11 from the first light inlet 101. The first light ray L1 entering through the first prism group 11 may enter the photosensitive component 30 through the first reflector 40.

[0037] The second camera module may include a second light inlet 102 and a second prism group 21. A second light ray L2 may enter the second prism group 21 from the second light inlet 102. The second light ray L2 entering through the second prism group 21 may enter the photosensitive component 30 through the first reflector 40.

[0038] The first reflector 40 can deflect the optical path of the first ray L1 or the second ray L2, so that the first ray L1 and the second ray L2, which enter the first reflector 40 from different directions, can be incident on the same photosensitive component 30 through the first reflector 40. For example, the first reflector 40 can deflect the optical path of the second ray L2 so that the optical path of the second ray L2 is L-shaped.

[0039] By setting a first reflector 40, the first light L1 incident from the first prism group 11 and the light from the second prism group 21 can both be projected onto the same photosensitive component 30, thereby realizing the sharing of the same photosensitive component 30 between the first camera module and the second camera module. This eliminates the need to set multiple photosensitive components 30, which can reduce the size of the camera module and reduce the component cost of the camera module.

[0040] In some embodiments, the camera module can be a periscope camera module. By changing the propagation direction of the first light ray L1 and the second light ray L2 through the first prism group 11 and the second prism group 21, the light ray incident from the lens can be reflected to a direction perpendicular to the original light path, so that the spatial requirement of the camera module in the thickness direction is transformed into the spatial requirement in the horizontal direction.

[0041] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first reflecting mirror according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first reflecting mirror 40 may include a transmission surface 41 and a reflection surface 42. For example, the first reflecting mirror 40 may be a one-way mirror.

[0043] The first ray L1 incident through the first prism group 11 can enter through the transmission surface 41 and pass through the first reflector 40, so that the first ray L1 can pass through the first reflector 40 and be incident on the photosensitive component 30.

[0044] The reflective surface 42 can reflect the second light ray L2 incident through the second prism group 21 and reflect the second light ray L2 to the photosensitive component 30.

[0045] The first reflector 40 allows the first light ray L1 to pass through the first reflector 40 from the transmission surface 41, keeping the light path of the first light ray L1 unchanged, while the second light ray L2 is reflected by the reflection surface 42, thereby changing the light path of the second light ray L2. This allows both the first light ray L1 and the second light ray L2 to be incident on the photosensitive component 30, thus enabling the first camera module and the second camera module to share the same photosensitive component 30. This eliminates the need to set up multiple photosensitive components 30, reducing the size of the camera module and the component cost.

[0046] In other embodiments, the first reflector 40 may include a transmission state and a reflection state. By transmitting different electrical signals to the first reflector 40, the first reflector 40 can switch between the transmission state and the reflection state. For example, the first reflector 40 can be implemented based on the principle of liquid crystal to realize a dimming structure with adjustable transmission and reflection.

[0047] The first light ray L1 incident through the first prism group 11 can pass through the first reflecting mirror 40 in a transmission state, thus allowing the first light ray L1 to enter the photosensitive component 30 through the first reflecting mirror 40. The first reflecting mirror 40 in a reflection state can reflect the second light ray L2 incident through the second prism group 21, and reflect the second light ray L2 to the photosensitive component 30. This allows both the first light ray L1 and the second light ray L2 to enter the photosensitive component 30, thereby enabling the first and second camera modules to share the same photosensitive component 30. This eliminates the need for multiple photosensitive components 30, reducing the size and cost of the camera module.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first camera module may further include a first lens group 110, which may include one or more lenses. By configuring the parameters of a single lens and the combination parameters between multiple lenses, the optical parameters of the camera module can be changed, so that the camera module can have different optical performance, and thus be suitable for different shooting scenarios and meet different shooting quality requirements.

[0049] The first lens group 110 can be disposed between the first reflector 40 and the photosensitive component 30. The first light ray L1 and the second light ray L2 can be incident sequentially on the first lens group 110 and the photosensitive component 30 through the first reflector 40. This allows the first camera module and the second camera module to share the first lens group 110, thereby reducing the number of lens groups, reducing the size of the camera module, and reducing the component cost of the camera module.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first lens group 110 is movably disposed between the first reflector 40 and the photosensitive component 30. For example, the housing 100 may be provided with a driving component, and the first lens group 110 may be connected to the driving component, so that the driving component can drive the first lens group 110 to move along its own optical axis between the first reflector 40 and the photosensitive component 30, thereby changing the distance between the first lens group 110 and the photosensitive component 30, thereby realizing the zoom function of the camera module.

[0051] Since the first light ray L1 and the second light ray L2 can share the first lens group 110 through the first reflector 40, when the camera module calls the first camera module, the first lens group 110 can zoom the first camera module by its own movement. When the camera module calls the second camera module, the first lens group 110 can zoom the second camera module by its own movement. Therefore, there is no need to set up multiple zoom components, which can reduce the size of the camera module and reduce the component cost of the camera module.

[0052] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a camera module according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second camera module may also include a second reflector 50 disposed between the second prism group 21 and the first reflector 40.

[0054] The first reflecting mirror 40 can deflect the light path of the second ray L2, so that the second ray L2 can be incident on the first reflecting mirror 40 through the second reflecting mirror 50.

[0055] The propagation direction of the second ray L2 between the second prism group 21 and the second reflector 50 is opposite to the propagation direction between the first reflector 40 and the photosensitive component 30. For example, the first reflector 40 and the second reflector 50 can deflect the optical path of the second ray L2 to make the optical path of the second ray L2 U-shaped.

[0056] By using the first reflector 40 and the second reflector 50 to fold the light path of the second ray L2 twice, the propagation distance of the second ray L2 in the second direction within the housing 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the size requirement of the housing 100 in the second direction and thus reducing the required installation volume of the housing 100.

[0057] The first direction can be the propagation direction of the second ray L2 between the first reflector 40 and the photosensitive component 30, and the second direction can be a direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0058] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a camera module according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a camera module according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the camera module may also include: a first light-shielding member 61 and a second light-shielding member 62.

[0060] The first light-shielding member 61 is movably disposed within the first camera module. For example, the first light-shielding member 61 is movably connected to the housing 100 and can move relative to the first prism group 11.

[0061] The movable position of the first light-shielding member 61 may include a first position and a second position. The first position may be located on the optical path of the first light ray L1, and the second position may be located outside the optical path of the first light ray L1.

[0062] The first light-shielding member 61 located in the first position blocks the first light ray L1, while the first light-shielding member 61 located in the second position does not block the first light ray L1.

[0063] The second light-shielding member 62 is movably disposed within the second camera module. For example, the second light-shielding member 62 is movably connected to the housing 100 and can move relative to the second prism group 21.

[0064] The moving position of the second light-shielding member 62 may include a third position and a fourth position. The third position may be located on the optical path of the second light ray L2, and the fourth position may be located outside the optical path of the second light ray L2.

[0065] The second light-shielding member 62 located in the third position blocks the second light ray L2, while the second light-shielding member 62 located in the fourth position does not block the second light ray L2.

[0066] When the camera module calls the second camera module, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first light-shielding member 61 can be located in a first position and block the first light ray L1 to prevent the first light ray L1 from affecting the imaging effect of the second camera module. The second light-shielding member 62 can be located in a fourth position so that the second light ray L2 can be incident on the photosensitive component 30.

[0067] When the camera module calls the first camera module, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first light-shielding member 61 can be located in the second position to allow the first light ray L1 to be incident on the photosensitive component 30. The second light-shielding member 62 can be located in the third position and block the second light ray L2 to prevent the second light ray L2 from affecting the imaging effect of the first camera module.

[0068] In other embodiments, the moving position of the first light-shielding member 61 may include the fifth position in the optical path of the first light ray L1 and the sixth position in the optical path of the second light ray L2.

[0069] When the camera module calls the second camera module, the first light-shielding member 61 can be located in the fifth position and block the first light L1, while allowing the second light L2 to be incident on the photosensitive component 30, so as to prevent the first light L1 from affecting the imaging effect of the second camera module.

[0070] When the camera module calls the first camera module, the first light-shielding member 61 can be located in the sixth position and block the second light L2, while allowing the first light L1 to be incident on the photosensitive component 30, so as to prevent the second light L2 from affecting the imaging effect of the first camera module.

[0071] In other embodiments, the camera module can simultaneously call the first camera module and the second camera module. For example, the imaging content of the first camera module and the imaging content of the second camera module can be image fused using image fusion technology.

[0072] When the camera module simultaneously uses the first camera module and the second camera module, the first light-shielding member 61 can be located in the second position and the second light-shielding member 62 can be located in the fourth position, so that both the first light ray L1 and the second light ray L2 can be incident on the photosensitive component 30.

[0073] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first prism assembly according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a second prism assembly according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first prism group 11 may include a first prism 12 and a second lens group 13. The second lens group 13 may include one or more lenses. By configuring the parameters of a single lens and the combination parameters between multiple lenses, the optical parameters of the camera module can be changed, allowing the first camera module to have different optical performances, thus making it suitable for different shooting scenarios and meeting different shooting quality requirements. Figure 7 As shown, the second prism group 21 may include a second prism 22 and a third lens group 23. The third lens group 23 may include one or more lenses. By configuring the parameters of a single lens and the combination parameters between multiple lenses, the optical parameters of the camera module can be changed, so that the first camera module can have different optical performance, thus being suitable for different shooting scenarios and meeting different shooting quality requirements.

[0075] The first prism 12 can refract the light path of the first ray L1, and the second prism 22 can refract the light path of the second ray L2. By changing the propagation direction of the first ray L1 and the second ray L2 through the first prism group 11 and the second prism group 21, the light rays entering from the lens can be reflected to a direction perpendicular to the original light path, so that the spatial requirement of the camera module in the thickness direction is changed to the spatial requirement in the horizontal direction.

[0076] The third lens group 23 has a larger dimension in the optical axis direction than the second lens group 13. For example, the third lens group 23 has a larger number of lenses than the second lens group 13. Therefore, the third lens group 23 has a larger dimension in the optical axis direction than the second lens group 13, so that the second camera module including the third lens group 23 has a longer focal length.

[0077] The first prism 12 may include a first surface 121 that receives the first light ray L1, and the second lens group 13 may be spaced apart from the first surface 121. The second prism 22 may include a second surface 221 that emits the second light ray L2, and the third lens group 23 may be disposed between the second surface 221 and the first reflector 40. By placing the larger third lens group 23 between the second surface 221 and the first reflector 40, the space requirement of the camera module in the thickness direction is transformed into a horizontal space requirement, thereby reducing the size of the camera module in the thickness direction and reducing the installation space requirement of the camera module in the thickness direction.

[0078] Based on the same principle, the second lens group 13 can also be disposed between the first prism 12 and the first reflector.

[0079] In some embodiments, the second lens group 13 may be spaced apart from the first surface 121, and the second lens group 13 may move relative to the first surface 121 along its own optical axis to change the distance between the second lens group 13 and the photosensitive component 30, thereby realizing the zoom function of the first camera module.

[0080] The third lens group 23 can be disposed between the second surface 221 of the second prism group 21 and the first reflector 40, and the third lens group 23 can move relative to the first prism group 11 along its own optical axis to change the distance between the third lens group 23 and the photosensitive component 30, thereby realizing the zoom function of the second camera module.

[0081] In other embodiments, the camera module may include a first lens group 110, a second lens group 13, and a third lens group 23. The first lens group 110 is movably disposed between the first reflector 40 and the photosensitive component 30. The second lens group 13 is movably disposed between the first reflector 40 and the photosensitive component 30 and spaced apart from the first surface 121. The third lens group 23 is movably disposed between the first reflector 40 and the photosensitive component 30 and spaced apart from the first surface 121. Thus, the first camera module can be zoomed by moving the first lens group 110 and the second lens group 13, and the second camera module can be zoomed by moving the first lens group 110 and the third lens group 23.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first camera module is a macro camera module, a wide-angle camera module, or a telephoto camera module, and the second camera module is a macro camera module, a wide-angle camera module, or a telephoto camera module.

[0083] For example, the first camera module can be a wide-angle camera module that serves as the main camera, and the second camera module can be a telephoto camera module, thereby enabling the camera module to have both wide-angle and long-distance shooting capabilities.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first prism group 11 may include a first driving member 71 disposed in the housing 100. The first driving member 71 can be connected to the first prism 12 and drive the first prism 12 to rotate, so that the first prism 12 can reduce the impact of camera module shaking on the imaging of the first camera module by rotating itself. The second prism group 21 may include a second driving member 72 disposed in the housing 100. The second driving member 72 can be connected to the second prism 22 and drive the second prism 22 to rotate, so that the second prism 22 can reduce the impact of camera module shaking on the imaging of the second camera module by rotating itself.

[0085] Based on the same concept, embodiments of this disclosure also provide an electronic device.

[0086] The electronic device can be a laptop, desktop computer, mobile phone, digital broadcasting terminal, messaging device, game console, tablet, medical device, fitness equipment, personal digital assistant, translator, and wearable devices such as watches and bracelets, and can be any electronic device with a camera module. The following description uses a mobile phone as an example, but this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0087] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the electronic device may include a camera module, with a first light inlet 101 and a second light inlet 102 exposed on the surface of the electronic device, so that external light can enter the first camera module from the first light inlet 101 and enter the second camera module from the second light inlet 102.

[0089] The embodiments disclosed herein enable the light from both the first camera module and the second camera module to be projected onto the same photosensitive component 30 by providing a first reflector 40, thereby allowing the first camera module and the second camera module to share the same photosensitive component 30, reducing the size of the camera module and the component cost of the camera module.
