BACKGROUNDField of expertise
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a light-transmitting hole module, a camera module, and an electronic device, particularly to a light-transmitting hole module that can be used in a camera module and an electronic device. Description State of the art
[0002] With the development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, the performance of image sensors has improved and their pixel size has decreased. Therefore, high image quality is now one of the essential features of an optical system. Furthermore, due to rapid technological changes, electronic devices equipped with optical systems are becoming multifunctional for various applications, which has increased the requirements for the functionality of optical systems.
[0003] Recently, camera modules have been used in a growing number of areas in electronic devices, such as wearable devices (e.g., smartphones, action cameras), head-mounted displays for augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR), and aerial cameras. Furthermore, the hardware used in camera modules is continuously being improved, for example, by using larger image sensors and imaging lenses with better image quality. A larger image sensor provides better image quality, but the background of the image may become blurred due to a shallow depth of field. Traditionally, a variable aperture can be used to change the depth of field, thus adjusting the degree of background blur and controlling the amount of incident light. Therefore, the incorporation of a variable aperture into an optical system of an electronic device is becoming a future-oriented topic.However, the conventional optical system is designed without considering the clearance of the variable aperture, resulting in limited design flexibility, poor integration with the variable aperture, excessively large optical system size, and complicated assembly processes, as well as some problems such as the jumping of the variable aperture during operation and low yield rates in the manufacturing of the corresponding structure. Therefore, improving the corresponding variable aperture structure to meet the requirements of high-specification electronic devices is currently an important topic in this field. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010] In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown schematically to simplify the drawing.
[0011] A light-transmitting aperture module provided in the present disclosure includes a diaphragm assembly and a lid member arranged sequentially along a central axis.
[0012] The aperture assembly includes a plurality of apertures that form a translucent hole. The translucent hole has a variable size with reference to the central axis as the center.
[0013] The cover element covers the aperture assembly. The cover element has a through hole that aligns with the translucent hole.
[0014] The lid member includes a plastic surface structure and a metal wall structure. The design of the lid member is advantageous for miniaturizing the overall size of the light-transmitting hole module and eliminating the assembly process of the plastic surface structure and the metal wall structure, thereby significantly increasing the manufacturing yield. Furthermore, the lid member including the plastic surface structure and the metal wall structure can be manufactured in one integrated piece. Furthermore, the plastic surface structure can be made of plastic material, the metal wall structure can be made of metal material, and the plastic surface structure in the plastic material and the metal wall structure in the metal material can be manufactured by insert injection molding. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0015] The plastic surface structure can be arranged facing and covering one of the plurality of diaphragms. Therefore, it is advantageous for reducing the floating of the diaphragm during its rotation, so that stable movement of the rotated diaphragm can be ensured to accurately and precisely control the size change of the transmissive hole. In a direction parallel to the central axis, the plastic surface structure can be arranged closer to the plurality of diaphragms than the through-hole and can be arranged in line with the plurality of diaphragms. By arranging the plastic surface structure close to the diaphragms, it is advantageous for effectively reducing the jumping of the diaphragms during their operation.
[0016] The plastic surface structure can be arranged around the through-hole. It can also be considered that the plastic surface structure extends toward the through-hole. The plastic surface structure can define the through-hole. Therefore, it is advantageous for achieving a specific effect in eliminating stray light, effectively reducing excessive reflection of non-imaging light. Furthermore, the plastic surface structure can be designed to have a relatively large area facing the apertures. Therefore, it is advantageous for preventing undesired bending of the apertures due to impact during a drop test of the light-transmitting hole module, thereby increasing the product reliability of the light-transmitting hole module. Furthermore, the plastic surface structure can have a protrusion facing the apertures.This design of the projection is advantageous for locating the plastic surface structure closer to the bezels, thereby further reducing the jumping of the bezels during their operation.
[0017] The metal wall structure is arranged around the through-hole. The metal wall structure extends from the plastic surface structure along a direction parallel to the central axis. Furthermore, the metal wall structure may extend from an outer edge of the plastic surface structure along a direction parallel to the central axis.
[0018] The lid element may further comprise a metal surface structure. The metal surface structure may extend from the metal wall structure toward the through-hole. It is also possible for the metal surface structure to extend from the metal wall structure toward the central axis. The metal surface structure may define the through-hole. Therefore, it is advantageous for reducing the size of the plastic surface structure to accelerate injection molding.
[0019] According to the present disclosure, the light-transmitting hole module may further include a base. The base may be immovable with respect to the lid member. The base may have a first axis structure. The plurality of apertures are movable within a certain range according to the first axis structure to control the size of the light-transmitting hole. It may also be considered that the apertures can be moved close to or away from the central axis by changing the relative position between the apertures and the first axis structure. Therefore, this is advantageous for controlling the size of the light-transmitting hole. Due to the mechanical cooperation of the base and the lid member, automated assembly is more convenient.
[0020] Furthermore, each aperture may include a first guide hole. The first guide holes may be arranged corresponding to the first axis structure, and the first axis structure may be arranged through the first guide holes. Each first guide hole may be an elongated hole. Therefore, this is advantageous for reducing excessive impact between the guide holes and the axis structure during relative movement between them, so that the apertures can still maintain good flatness even after a durability test. Furthermore, the plastic surface structure may include a first recess structure. The first recess structure may be recessed along a direction away from the first axis structure and may be arranged corresponding to the first axis structure.Therefore, it is advantageous for further reducing the cracking of the panels during operation and preventing unwanted deformation or bending of the panels caused by impact with a surrounding hard object during drop testing. Furthermore, the first recess structure may be a circular hole. Furthermore, the first recess structure may be a blind hole structure defined by the plastic surface structure but not defined by the lid member. Therefore, it is advantageous for maintaining the appearance of the translucent hole module without openings, ensuring that the panels are not affected by external temperature and humidity.
[0021] According to the present disclosure, the light-transmitting hole module may further comprise a rotating element. The rotating element is rotatable about the central axis. The rotating element may have a second axis structure. The second axis structure may be connected to the plurality of apertures to vary the size of the light-transmitting hole. It is also contemplated that the size of the light-transmitting hole may be varied by movement and / or rotation of apertures driven by the rotating element in cooperation with the first axis structure.
[0022] Furthermore, each aperture may include a second guide hole. The second guide holes may be arranged so as to be coincident with the second axis structure, and the second axis structure may be arranged through the second guide holes. Each second guide hole may be a circular hole. Therefore, it is advantageous for cooperating with the first guide hole to significantly reduce the relative movement between the guide holes and the axis structure and significantly reduce the deformation of the apertures, thereby maintaining good mechanical transmission accuracy. Furthermore, the plastic surface structure may include a second recess structure. The second recess structure may be recessed along a direction away from the second axis structure and may be arranged so as to be coincident with the second axis structure.Therefore, it is beneficial for further reducing the bounce of the panels during operation and preventing unwanted deformation or bending of the panels caused by impact with a surrounding hard object during drop testing. Furthermore, the second recess structure may be a long hole. Furthermore, the second recess structure may be a blind hole structure defined by the plastic surface structure but not defined by the cover element. Therefore, this is beneficial for maintaining the appearance of the translucent hole module without openings, ensuring that the panels are not affected by external temperature and humidity.
[0023] According to the present disclosure, the translucent hole module may further include a plurality of rollable parts. The plurality of rollable parts may be arranged between the base and the rotating member to provide a rotational degree of freedom of the rotating member. It may also be considered that the rollable parts may cause the rotating member to rotate with respect to the base. Therefore, this is advantageous for ensuring high rotational stability of the rotating member and thereby preventing undesirable slight wobble during its rotation. Therefore, the arrangement of the rollable parts is advantageous for detecting the assembly process of the translucent hole module and thereby effectively and accurately removing and replacing defective components. Furthermore, the rollable parts may be spherical, cylindrical, conical, etc., and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0024] When the thickness of the plastic surface structure along a direction parallel to the central axis is Tp, the following condition can be met: 0.0092 mm (millimeters) < Tp ≤ 0.735 mm. Therefore, this is advantageous for significantly increasing yield by using the plastic part of the one-piece lid element with an appropriate thickness during automated assembly. In addition, the following condition is also met: 0.036 mm < Tp ≤ 0.58 mm. Therefore, this is advantageous for providing a thinner plastic surface structure to achieve good molding quality under the production conditions of insert molding.
[0025] When the maximum diameter of the plastic surface structure along a direction perpendicular to the central axis is Φp and the maximum diameter of the metal wall structure along a direction perpendicular to the central axis is Φm, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.1 < Φp / Φm ≤ 1.05. Therefore, it is beneficial to effectively simplify the mold design of the lid element, significantly increasing the success rate during product development and thus effectively ensuring the feasibility of mass production of miniaturized parts. In addition, the following condition is also satisfied: 0.15 ≤ Φp / Φm < 0.975. Therefore, this is beneficial to optimize the dimensional accuracy of miniaturized parts.
[0026] When the height of the metal wall structure along a direction parallel to the central axis is Hm, the following condition can be met: 0.042 mm ≤ Hm < 6.83 mm. Therefore, this is beneficial to prevent the metal wall structure from being too high and preventing mold interference, thereby providing good molding accuracy of the plastic surface structure and increasing the success rate of insert molding.
[0027] When the thickness of the plastic surface structure along the direction parallel to the central axis is Tp and the height of the metal wall structure along the direction parallel to the central axis is Hm, the following condition can be met: 0.004 ≤ Tp / Hm < 0.41. Therefore, it is beneficial for effectively maintaining the consistency of dimensional accuracy during mass production, thereby achieving good stability of pass production.
[0028] A camera module provided in the present disclosure includes the aforementioned light-transmitting hole module and a lens assembly arranged corresponding to the light-transmitting hole along a direction parallel to the central axis. Furthermore, the light-transmitting hole may form an opening of the camera module.
[0029] An electronic device provided in the present disclosure includes the aforementioned camera module.
[0030] According to the present disclosure, the above features and conditions can be used in numerous combinations to achieve corresponding effects.

[0038] The cover element 15 covers the aperture assembly 14 and is immovable with respect to the base 11. The cover element 15 has a through hole 151 arranged corresponding to the light-transmitting hole 141.
[0039] The lid element 15 is manufactured in one piece. Specifically, the lid element 15 includes a plastic surface structure 152, a metal wall structure 153, and a metal surface structure 154.

[0040] The plastic surface structure 152 extends towards the through-hole 151.

[0041] The plastic surface structure 152 faces one of the plurality of apertures 140 and is arranged corresponding to the one aperture 140. The plastic surface structure 152 is arranged closer to the apertures 140 than the through-hole 151 along a direction parallel to the central axis 10 and is arranged in series with the apertures 140 along a direction parallel to the central axis 10.
[0042] In this embodiment, the plastic surface structure 152 has a plurality of projections 1520 facing the panels 140, as shown in the Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 shown.

Note that the total number and lens shapes of the lens elements of the lens assembly 80a are not intended to limit the present disclosure. 9. Embodiment
[0111] See Fig. 46 to Fig. 48, where Fig. 46 is a perspective view of an electronic device according to the ninth embodiment of the present disclosure, Fig. 47 another perspective view of the electronic device in Fig. 46 is and Fig. 48 a block diagram of the electronic device in Fig. 46 is.
[0112] In this embodiment, an electronic device 9 is a mobile device such as a computer, a smartphone, a smart wearable device, a camera drone, or a trip recording and display device, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The electronic device 9 includes a camera module 90a, a wide-angle camera module 90b, a macro still camera module 90c, a compact camera module 90d, a ToF (Time of Flight) camera module 90e, a flash module 92, a focus assist module 93, an image signal processor (unnumbered), a display module 95, an image software processor (unnumbered), and a biometric identification device 97. Furthermore, the camera module 90a is, for example, the camera module 8 disclosed in the eighth embodiment, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.Each of the camera modules 90b, 90c, 90d, and 90e may be one of the camera modules disclosed in the above embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0113] The camera module 90a, the camera module 90b, and the camera module 90c are arranged on the same side of the electronic device 9. The camera module 90d, the camera module 90e, and the display module 95 are arranged on the opposite side of the electronic device 9. The display module 95 can be a user interface, so the camera module 90d and the camera module 90e can be front-facing cameras of the electronic device 9 for taking selfies, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0114] In this embodiment, the camera module 90a, the camera module 90b, and the camera module 90c have different fields of view, so that the electronic device 9 can have different magnification ratios to meet the requirement of the optical zoom function. For example, the wide-angle camera module 90b has a relatively large field of view, and the image captured by the wide-angle camera module 90b can be Fig. 49, which shows an image taken by the electronic device 9 with a wide-angle camera module 90b, wherein the taken image, as in Fig. 49, includes the entire cathedral, the surrounding buildings and the people in front of the cathedral. Fig. The captured image shown in Figure 49 has a relatively large field of view and a relatively large depth of field, but often has a relatively high degree of distortion. The image captured by the camera module 90a with a relatively small aperture can be Fig. 50, and the image captured by the camera module 90a with a relatively large aperture number can be Fig. 51 can be obtained. Fig. 50 shows an image taken by the electronic device 9 with the camera module 90a with an aperture of 1.4, Fig. 51 shows an image taken by the electronic device 9 with the camera module 90a having an aperture of 5.6, and the captured images as shown in Fig. 50 and Fig. 51 include birds flying in front of the cathedral. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 50, the image sensor receives more light when the light-transmitting hole module 1 of the camera module 90a provides a relatively large light-transmitting hole 141, but the background in the image is relatively blurred. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 51, the image sensor receives less light when the light-transmitting hole module 1 of the camera module 90a provides a relatively small light-transmitting hole 141, but the background in the image is relatively clear. The captured images, as shown in Fig. 50 and Fig.51 have a relatively small field of view, and the camera module 90a can be used to capture moving targets. For example, the autofocus drive element can drive the lens carrier to quickly and continuously focus on the target so that the captured image of the target is not blurred due to a deviation from the focus position.
