This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0143842, filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Nov. 25, 2013, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
Methods and apparatuses consistent with the exemplary embodiments relate to an optical adjusting apparatus, and more particularly to an optical adjusting apparatus where an optical image stabilizer function and an auto focusing function have been integrated.
These and/or other features and utilities of the present general inventive concept will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a skewed view of an optical adjusting apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept;
FIG. 2 is an exploded skewed view of the optical adjusting apparatus of FIG. 1;
Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present general inventive concept, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below in order to explain the present general inventive concept while referring to the figures.
The matters defined in the description, such as detailed construction and elements, are provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of exemplary embodiments. However, exemplary embodiments can be practiced without those specifically defined matters. Also, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the application with unnecessary detail.
In the following description, directional terms such as “upper” and “lower” are made with reference to the orientation of the elements in the associated drawings. It will be understood that these terms are used to describe relative location, and may be changed depending on the orientation and configuration of the particular exemplary embodiment.
