[0098] The following detailed description of the features and advantages of this utility model in the embodiments is sufficient to enable any person skilled in the art to understand the technical content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. Based on the disclosure of this specification, the scope of the claims, and the accompanying drawings, any person skilled in the art can easily understand the related objectives and advantages of this utility model. The following embodiments further illustrate the viewpoints of this utility model in detail, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model in any way.
[0099] This utility model provides a tilting camera module, and the tilting camera module has a first optical axis and a second optical axis in sequence from an object side to an image side.
[0100] The deflection camera module may include a light-deflecting element, an object-side lens, and an image-side lens. The light-deflecting element may be a prism or a mirror, but this invention is not limited thereto. The object-side lens or image-side lens may be a single lens, a single lens group composed of multiple lenses, or multiple lens groups; this invention is not limited thereto. Please note that the imaging capabilities of the object-side lens and image-side lens are not intended to limit this invention; therefore, partial outlines of the object-side lens and image-side lens are omitted to avoid obscuring the focus of this invention.
[0101] The light-deflecting element has a reflective surface. The reflective surface is used to deflect a first optical axis to a second optical axis. The first optical axis can pass through an object-side lens, and the second optical axis can pass through an image-side lens. This allows for the miniaturization of the deflection camera module.
[0102] At least one of the object-side lens and the light-reflecting element may have at least one optical surface. The at least one optical surface may be spherical or aspherical. The at least one optical surface may be made by glass molding or plastic injection molding, but this invention is not limited thereto. The at least one optical surface may be correspondingly arranged with the reflecting surface on the first optical axis. The first optical axis may pass through the at least one optical surface.
[0103] The tilting camera module may also include a light-shielding plate or a light-shielding layer. The light-shielding plate or light-shielding layer may be disposed on the object side of the reflective surface. Specifically, the light-shielding plate or light-shielding layer may be disposed between one of the at least one optical surfaces and the reflective surface.
[0104] In cases where the camera module also includes a light-shielding plate, the light-shielding plate may have an air gap with adjacent optical elements, but this invention is not limited thereto. Note that the optical elements may be, for example, the object-side lens, image-side lens, light-deflecting element, or other imaging-related elements described above.
[0105] In the case where the camera module further includes a light-shielding layer, the light-shielding layer can be attached to the at least one optical surface, and the light-shielding layer can extend in a direction parallel to and toward the first optical axis. This provides a wider range of applications for the light-shielding layer. The light-shielding layer can be disposed on a light-deflecting element. Note that the light-shielding layer can be made by photoresist curing, and may include both positive and negative photoresist; this invention is not limited to this.
[0106] A light-shielding plate or layer may include an object-side surface, an image-side surface, a light-shielding portion, and a light-passing aperture. The object-side surface faces the object side. The image-side surface is disposed opposite the object-side surface and faces the reflecting surface. The light-shielding portion connects the object-side surface and the image-side surface. The light-shielding portion is disposed towards the first optical axis. The light-shielding portion is closer to the first optical axis than the image-side lens.
[0107] The light-shielding part has a light-shielding surface surrounding the first optical axis. The light-transmitting opening is defined by the light-shielding surface of the light-shielding part. The light-shielding surface can define the shape, size and configuration of the light-transmitting opening, but this utility model is not limited thereto.
[0108] According to the light-deflecting camera module disclosed in this utility model, by providing at least one optical surface on the object side of the reflective surface of the light-deflecting element, and by providing a light-shielding plate or light-shielding layer on the object side of the reflective surface of the light-deflecting element, an optical architecture with anti-stray light countermeasures can be provided to provide high imaging quality, and can simultaneously meet the needs of camera module miniaturization and industrial applicability.
[0109] The light-shielding surface of the light-shielding section can gradually approach or move away from the first optical axis from the object-side surface to the image-side surface. This improves the product yield. Furthermore, the light-shielding surface of the light-shielding section can extend continuously towards both the object-side and image-side surfaces without breaks. This reduces optical image signal loss, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the image.
[0110] The light-shielding portion may have multiple arc-shaped structures in a direction perpendicular to the first optical axis. The arc-shaped structures may extend from the light-shielding surface toward the first optical axis. The arc-shaped structures may be integrally formed with the light-shielding portion, but this invention is not limited thereto. The arc-shaped structures may be arranged along at least one contour of the light-shielding portion. This further reduces the probability of stray light generation. Alternatively, the arc-shaped structures may be arranged linearly in a direction parallel to the second optical axis. This further ensures image quality and improves the design margin of the arc-shaped structures. Alternatively, the arc-shaped structures may be arranged along the entire contour of at least one side of the light-shielding portion.
[0111] The light-shielding sheet or layer may also contain multiple additives of specific shapes. These additives can be evenly distributed within the light-shielding sheet or layer. This improves the mechanical strength of the light-shielding sheet or layer.
[0112] According to the folding camera module disclosed by the present utility model, it may further include a driving device. The driving device can provide a rotating shaft for the light folding element and a degree of freedom to rotate around the rotating shaft. Thereby, the focusing ability of the camera module can be maintained.
[0113] When the folding camera module further includes a light shielding layer, the height of the light shielding layer in the direction parallel to the first optical axis is h1, and the height difference of a surface of the at least one optical surface to which the light shielding layer is attached in the direction parallel to the first optical axis is h2, which can satisfy the following condition: 0 < h1 / h2 < 1.2. Thereby, the optical imaging quality can be further improved.
[0114] The distance between the surface of the light shielding sheet or the light shielding layer closest to the reflecting surface and the reflecting surface on the first optical axis is Db, and the distance between the surface of the at least one optical surface closest to the reflecting surface and the reflecting surface on the first optical axis is Do, which can satisfy the following condition: 0.3 < Db / Do < 2. Thereby, the light shielding efficiency can be further ensured and a design margin for the setting position of the light shielding sheet or the light shielding layer can be provided. Among them, the following condition can also be satisfied: 0.5 < Db / Do < 1.3. Thereby, the feasibility of product assembly can be ensured.
[0115] In the direction perpendicular to the first optical axis, the radius of curvature of the arc-shaped structure at the surface close to the object side is R, which can satisfy the following condition: 0.05 mm ≤ R < 1.7 mm. Thereby, the imaging quality can be further ensured and the design margin of the arc-shaped structure can be improved. Among them, the following condition can also be satisfied: 0.08 mm ≤ R < 1.5 mm. Thereby, the process difficulty can be simplified.
