AI Technical Summary
Existing camera modules face challenges in manufacturing cost and assembly complexity due to the separate actuator-controlled diaphragm, which requires continuous electrical connection along the optical axis between the main board and the diaphragm.
A camera module design where the control unit for the diaphragm is integrally formed with a sensor for detecting the diaphragm's opening degree, allowing common terminals to be used for both auto focusing and diaphragm driving, thereby simplifying wiring and reducing manufacturing costs.
The solution minimizes external terminals, simplifies wiring by sharing common terminals for auto focusing and diaphragm control, and reduces manufacturing costs while facilitating easier assembly of the camera module.
