Description

Camera devices and optical instruments

[0001] The present embodiment relates to a camera device and an optical device.

[0002] Modern smartphones are equipped with cameras capable of taking high-resolution photos and videos.

[0003] In particular, research is currently underway to incorporate a zoom function into smartphone cameras, allowing for the capture of distant subjects. To achieve this, the camera must be long along the optical axis. Therefore, research is being conducted on a structure that minimizes the camera's protrusion from the smartphone by altering the optical path using a prism.

[0004] Meanwhile, recent smartphone cameras have been equipped with a shake correction function to prevent the focus from shaking due to the user's hand shaking. In the prism-type camera device mentioned above, a structure that performs the shake correction function by moving the prism is being studied.

[0005] However, there is a need to perform the shake correction function with a larger compensation angle than when performing the shake correction function by moving only the prism.

[0143] Below, the operation of the camera device according to the present embodiment is described with reference to the drawings.

[0144] Fig. 2 is a partial perspective view for explaining the operation of the image sensor of the camera device according to the present embodiment.

[0145] When current is applied to the AF coil (2320) of the image sensor actuator (2000), the AF magnet (2310) can move in the z-axis direction due to the electromagnetic interaction between the AF coil (2320) and the AF magnet (2310) (see B of FIG. 2). At this time, the z-axis carrier (2230), the y-axis carrier (2220), and the image sensor (2210) can move together with the AF magnet (2310) (see A and C of FIG. 2). Through this, the distance between the fixed lens (1150) and the image sensor (2210) can be adjusted, so that the focus of the subject whose image is formed on the image sensor (2210) through the lens (1150) can be adjusted.

[0146] Furthermore, the AF sensor (2330) detects the magnetic field of the AF magnet (2310), and the position of the AF magnet (2310) and further the position of the image sensor (2210) are derived through the strength of the magnetic field of the AF magnet (2310) detected by the AF sensor (2330), so that the image sensor (2210) can be feedback controlled in real time to move to a more accurate position.

[0147] When current is applied to the OIS-y coils (2521, 2522) of the image sensor actuator (2000), the OIS-y magnets (2511, 2512) can move in the y-axis direction due to the electromagnetic interaction between the OIS-y coils (2521, 2522) and the OIS-y magnets (2511, 2512) (see D of FIG. 2). At this time, the y-axis carrier (2220) and the image sensor (2210) can move together with the OIS-y magnets (2511, 2512) (see C of FIG. 2). Through this, the image sensor (2210) moves in the y-axis direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the image sensor (2210), thereby compensating for the user's hand shake in that direction.

[0148] FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of a bottom view for explaining the operation of an image sensor of a camera device according to the present embodiment.

[0149] When current is applied to the OIS-x coil (2420) of the image sensor actuator (2000), the OIS-x magnet (2410) can move in the y-axis direction due to the electromagnetic interaction between the OIS-x coil (2420) and the OIS-x magnet (2410) (see F of FIG. 3). At this time, the x-axis carrier (2240), the z-axis carrier (2230), the y-axis carrier (2220), and the image sensor (2210) can move together with the OIS-x magnet (2410) (see A, C of FIG. 2 and E of FIG. 3). Through this, the image sensor (2210) moves in the x-axis direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the image sensor (2210), thereby canceling out the user's hand shake in that direction.

[0150] Fig. 18 is a perspective view for explaining the operation of a prism actuator according to the present embodiment.

[0151] When current is applied to the yaw coil (1320) of the prism actuator (1000), the yaw magnet (1310) can rotate around the x-axis due to the electromagnetic interaction between the yaw coil (1320) and the yaw magnet (1310). That is, the yaw magnet (1310) can be tilted in the yaw direction (see yaw in FIG. 18). At this time, the holder (1220) and the prism (1210) can move together with the yaw magnet (1310) (see A in FIG. 18). Through this, the path of light reflected from the prism (1210) and incident on the image sensor (2210) through the lens (1150) can be changed in the yaw direction. Therefore, the user's hand shake in the corresponding direction can be canceled out.

[0152] When current is applied to the pitch coil (1420) of the prism actuator (1000), the pitch magnet (1410) can rotate around the y-axis due to the electromagnetic interaction between the pitch coil (1420) and the pitch magnet (1410). That is, it can tilt in the pitch direction (see pitch in FIG. 18). At this time, the holder (1220) and the prism (1210) can move together with the pitch magnet (1410) (see A in FIG. 18). Through this, the path of the light reflected from the prism (1210) and incident on the image sensor (2210) through the lens (1150) can be changed in the pitch direction. Therefore, the user's hand shake in the corresponding direction can be canceled out.

[0153] In this embodiment, the prism actuator (1000) and the image sensor actuator (2000) can be driven simultaneously.

[0154] In this embodiment, when the prism actuator (1000) and the image sensor actuator (2000) are driven simultaneously, the correction angle can be increased compared to when only one of them is driven. For example, when the prism actuator (1000) tilts the prism (1210) in the yaw direction and the image sensor actuator (2000) shifts the image sensor (2210) in the y-axis direction, the correction angle in the corresponding direction can be increased. In addition, when the prism actuator (1000) tilts the prism (1210) in the pitch direction and the image sensor actuator (2000) shifts the image sensor (2210) in the x-axis direction, the correction angle in the corresponding direction can be increased.

[0155] However, in this embodiment, only one of the prism actuator (1000) and the image sensor actuator (2000) may be selectively driven as needed.
