Abstract
A camera module includes a lens assembly, a propulsion device, and a deformable. The propulsion device is configured for distally and proximally driving the lens assembly. The deformable lens is deformed, and a focal length of the deformable lens is changed in response to a pressure applied onto the deformable lens by the lens assembly distally driven by the propulsion device. The deformable lens remains undeformed, and the focal length of the deformable lens remains constant in response to no pressure applied onto the deformable lens.
Claims20
A camera module, comprising:
- a lens assembly including:
- a rigid lens configured for forming an optical image of an object, and
- a barrel disposed around the rigid lens;
- a propulsion device disposed around the lens assembly and configured for distally and proximally driving the lens assembly;
- and
- a deformable lens positioned distally to the lens assembly, wherein the deformable lens is deformed, and a focal length of the deformable lens is changed in response to a pressure applied onto the deformable lens by the lens assembly distally driven by the propulsion device;
- the deformable lens remains undeformed, and the focal length of the deformable lens remains constant in response to no pressure applied onto the deformable lens.

- a lens assembly including:
- a rigid lens configured for forming an optical image of an object, and
- a barrel disposed around the rigid lens;
- a propulsion device disposed around the lens assembly and configured for distally and proximally driving the lens assembly;
- and
- a deformable lens positioned distally to the lens assembly, wherein the deformable lens is deformed into a convex lens in response to a contact between the lens assembly and the deformable lens;
- the deformable lens remains to be a flat lens in response to no contact between the lens assembly and the deformable lens.
