Abstract
A lens driving module includes a holder, a cover, a carrier, at least one first magnet, a first coil, at least two second magnets, at least one first sensor and at least one second sensor. The holder includes an opening hole. The cover is made of metal material and coupled to the holder. The carrier is movably disposed in the cover and for coupling to a lens. The first magnet is movably disposed in the cover. The first coil is wound around an outer side of the carrier. The second magnets are disposed on one end of the carrier. The first sensor is for detecting a magnetic field of the second magnets. The second sensor is for detecting a magnetic field of the first magnet.
Claims23
A lens driving module, comprising:
- a holder, comprising an opening hole;
- a cover coupled to the holder;
- a lens movably disposed in the cover, wherein a moving direction of the lens comprises a first direction which is parallel to an optical axis of the lens;
- at least one first magnet movably disposed in the cover, wherein a moving direction of the first magnet comprises a second direction which is orthogonal to the optical axis of the lens;
- a first coil wound around an outer side of the lens, and adjacent to the first magnet;
- at least one second magnet disposed at one end of the lens which is toward the holder;
- at least one first sensor which is a Hall sensor, and for determining a relative displacement that has occurred in the first direction between the first sensor and the second magnet via a magnetic field, wherein the magnetic field is varied according to the relative displacement, and the first sensor and the second magnet are in alignment along the first direction;
- at least one second sensor for detecting a magnetic field of the first magnet, wherein the magnetic field of the first magnet is varied according to a relative displacement between the second sensor and the first magnet which is detected;
- an imaging element for receiving an imaging light of the lens;
- and
- a circuit board, wherein the circuit board and the lens are arranged along the first direction, and the imaging element is disposed on the circuit board.
