New pattern, Xiaomi cascading camera module patent granted
CTOnews.com March 10 news, Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. applied for "a camera module and electronic equipment" patent recently granted.
Abstract shows that the present disclosure relates to a camera module and electronic equipment, belonging to the technical field of electronic equipment. The camera module includes a connecting frame and a plurality of lenses arranged on the connecting frame, and the connecting frame includes a connecting deformation part; when the camera module is not working, the connecting deformation part is in the first form, the optical axes of each lens are parallel to each other, and a plurality of lenses are staggered. When the camera module is in the working state, the connection deformation part is in the second form, a plurality of lenses are arranged on top of each other, and the optical axes of each lens coincide.
A connecting deformation part is arranged on a connecting frame of a plurality of lenses, the relative position between the plurality of lenses is changed by changing the shape of the connecting deformation part, the multiple lenses are staggered when they are not working, and the multiple lenses are cascaded in the working state. A variety of shooting requirements can be realized by using one camera module, which can reduce the overall height of the camera module while ensuring the imaging effect of the electronic equipment. It can effectively reduce the thickness of electronic equipment.
This reminds CTOnews.com of the Xiaomi 12s Ultra concept machine, which can be connected to a Leica lens through an adapter ring (not exactly the same as the above patent, of course). The Xiaomi 12s Ultra concept machine moves the ultra-wide-angle lens originally located in the middle of the camera module to the bottom, with a 1-inch CMOS in the middle and a 1-inch CMOS main camera on the left. Due to the size of the CMOS is 1 inch, after the transfer of the Leica lens, the original standard lens of 50mm has been changed to 133mm. In addition, the Xiaomi 12s Ultra concept machine is also equipped with the professional mode of external lens.
