Abstract
A voice coil motor array module includes a carrier frame defining a plurality of receiving spaces and a plurality of magnet-mounting spaces disposed in pairs and in symmetry around the receiving spaces. Any two adjacent receiving spaces have only one magnet-mounting space therebetween. A plurality of magnetic components are respectively disposed in the magnet-mounting spaces. Each magnet-mounting space receives only one magnetic component. The magnetic components surrounding a corresponding receiving space have same magnetic poles facing each other. A plurality of displacement components are respectively disposed in the receiving spaces. Each displacement component includes a lens carrier and a coil.

A voice coil motor array module comprising:
- a carrier frame defining a plurality of receiving spaces arranged in an (M)×(N) matrix array on a plane, and a plurality of magnet-mounting spaces, M and N being positive integers, said magnet-mounting spaces being disposed in pairs and in symmetry around said receiving spaces, any two adjacent ones of said receiving spaces having only one said magnet-mounting space therebetween;
- a plurality of magnetic components respectively disposed in said magnet-mounting spaces, each of said magnet-mounting spaces receiving only one said magnetic component, said magnetic components surrounding a corresponding one of said receiving spaces having same magnetic poles facing each other;
- and
- a plurality of displacement components respectively disposed in said receiving spaces, each of said displacement components including a lens carrier and a coil;
- wherein, when said coil of one of said displacement components is energized, said coil interacts with said magnetic components that surround a corresponding one of said receiving spaces to generate a force that displaces said lens carrier of said one of said displacement components along a normal direction of the plane.
A voice coil motor array module comprising:
- a carrier frame defining a plurality of receiving spaces arranged on a plane along a first direction, and a plurality of magnet-mounting spaces, said magnet-mounting spaces being disposed in pairs and in symmetry around said receiving spaces;
- a plurality of magnetic components respectively disposed in said magnet-mounting spaces, each of said magnet-mounting spaces receiving only one said magnetic component, said magnetic components surrounding a corresponding one of said receiving spaces having same magnetic poles facing each other, a connecting direction of two magnetic poles of each of said magnetic components being perpendicular to the first direction;
- and
- a plurality of displacement components respectively disposed in said receiving spaces, each of said displacement components including a lens carrier and a coil;
- wherein, when said coil of one of said displacement components is energized, said coil interacts with said magnetic components that surround a corresponding one of said receiving spaces to generate a force that displaces said lens carrier of said one of said displacement components along a normal direction of the plane.
