Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a camera module. [Background technology]
[0002] The camera module takes pictures of objects and stores them as images or videos. They are installed in mobile devices such as mobile phones, notebooks, drones, and vehicles.
[0003] On the other hand, portable devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and notebooks have ultra It has a built-in small camera module, which is an image sensor. Autofocus (a) automatically adjusts the distance between the lens and the camera to align the focal length of the lens. Autofocus (AF) function can be performed.
[0004] In recent years, camera modules have become more and more popular for capturing long-distance objects through zoom lenses. Zoom up or zoom to increase or decrease the magnification of the body You can perform the zooming function of zoom out.
[0005] In recent years, camera modules have also become more sensitive to image stabilization. n,IS) technology to prevent camera movement due to unstable fixtures or user movement. It uses technology to correct or prevent camera shake caused by hand movements.
[0006] Such image stabilization (IS) technology includes optical image stabilization (OIS). Image stabilization technology using optical image stabilizer (OIS) technology and image sensor There are techniques, etc.
[0007] OIS technology compensates for movement by changing the path of light, The anti-shake technology using the sensor compensates for movement using mechanical and electronic methods. technology, and OIS technology is being adopted more and more.
[0008] On the other hand, the camera module has a zoom actuator for zooming function. The actuator is used, but the mechanical movement of the actuator When the wheel moves, friction torque occurs, and this friction torque reduces the driving force and consumes Technical problems such as increased power consumption and reduced control characteristics have arisen.
[0009] In particular, camera modules with multiple zoom lens groups To achieve the best optical performance, the alignment between the multiple lens groups is It is desirable to have good alignment between the lens groups and the image sensor. Decentering, which is when the center of the inter-sphere deviates from the optical axis, and tilting, which is when the lens tilts, Tilt: When the central axis of the lens group and the image sensor are not aligned, This can cause corner changes and defocusing, which can have a negative impact on image quality and resolution.
[0010] On the other hand, the friction torque resistance during lens movement for zooming function in camera modules is reduced. If you increase the separation distance in areas where friction occurs to When the lens movement is reversed, lens decentering and tilt become more severe. Technical issues and inconsistencies are occurring.
[0011] On the other hand, the higher the pixel count of an image sensor, the higher the resolution. The size of the pixel gets smaller, but the smaller the pixel, the less light it can receive in the same amount of time. Therefore, the higher the pixel count of the camera, the slower the shutter speed will be in a dark environment. The shaking of the image caused by shaking hands becomes more pronounced.
[0012] This allows you to capture distortion-free images using a high-resolution camera in dark nighttime or video situations. In recent years, OIS functions have become essential for this purpose.
[0013] On the other hand, OIS technology moves the camera lens and image sensor to change the optical path (Opti It is a method of correcting image quality by modifying the image path, and is particularly effective with OIS technology. It detects the movement of the camera through a gyro sensor. Based on this, the distance that the lens and image sensor should move is calculated.
[0014] For example, the OIS correction method is divided into two types: lens movement and module tilting. The lens movement method realigns the center of the image sensor with the optical axis. Only the lens inside the camera module moves. On the other hand, the module tilting method This method moves the entire module, including the lens and image sensor.
[0015] In particular, the module tilting method has a wider correction range than the lens movement method. Since the focal length between the lens and the image sensor is fixed, the image is distorted. This has the advantage of minimizing the cost.
[0016] On the other hand, in the case of the lens movement method, a position recognition sensor is used to detect the position and movement of the lens. For example, a Hall sensor is used. In the sensing method, a photoreflector is used to sense the movement of the module. However, both methods use a reflector to detect the movement of the camera user. A gyro sensor is used for this purpose.
[0017] The OIS controller adjusts the lens or module to compensate for user movement. It uses data detected by the gyro sensor to predict where it should move.
[0018] In recent years, technological trends have led to the demand for ultra-slim and ultra-compact camera modules. The camera module has space limitations for driving OIS, so it is not applicable to large cameras. OIS function is difficult to realize, and when OIS is applied, it becomes an ultra-slim and ultra-compact camera. There are problems that modules cannot achieve.
[0019] In addition, conventional OIS technology requires a solid lens assembly within the limited size of the camera module. The OIS driver is located on the side of the lens assembly, allowing for the size control of the lens to be used for the OIS. There is a problem that it is difficult to secure sufficient light due to limitations.
[0020] In particular, to achieve the best optical characteristics in a camera module, lens movement and module Through tilting, alignment between lens groups is well-matched when OIS is realized. However, conventional OIS technology has a problem of decentering (decrease in the spherical center between lens groups) that causes deviation from the optical axis. When tilt occurs, the angle of view changes and the focus shifts. This has resulted in problems that have a negative impact on image quality and resolution.
[0021] In addition, with conventional OIS technology, it is possible to achieve AF or Zoom at the same time as driving the OIS. Due to the space constraints of the camera module and the location of the drive unit in conventional OIS technology, The net and the AF or Zoom magnet are placed close to each other, causing magnetic interference. This can cause the OIS to not operate properly, resulting in decentering and tilt. There is a problem.
[0022] In addition, conventional OIS technology requires mechanical drive for lens movement and module tilting. However, this requires a driving device, which results in a complex structure and high power consumption.
[0023] On the other hand, the contents described in the paragraphs are merely for the purpose of present disclosure. ) and does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
