Honor to announce a new patent for liquid lens, which can realize the miniaturization of camera module.

CTOnews.com, July 3, a new patent for "a liquid lens, camera module and electronic device" applied by Glory Terminal Co., Ltd. is disclosed, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the camera module and the reduction of the internal space of the electronic equipment, thus realizing the thinning of the electronic equipment.

CTOnews.com learned from the patent summary that the application disclosed a liquid lens, a camera module and an electronic device. The liquid lens includes a base, a film coating layer, a flexible medium and an actuating mechanism. The base includes a receptive cavity; the film coating is covered on the accommodating cavity to form a closed cavity. The flexible medium is filled in the closed cavity and is used for light transmission. The action of the moving mechanism on the film coating can cause the deformation of the film coating and drive the deformation of the flexible medium to change the shape of the closed cavity and then change the focal length of the liquid lens. The liquid lens provided by the embodiment of the application can have the ability to adjust the focal length without relying on the motor.

When the liquid lens provided by the application embodiment is applied to the camera module, the camera module does not need to be equipped with a motor or other devices, therefore, it is beneficial to realize the miniaturization of the camera module, and can reduce the occupation of the internal space of the electronic equipment, thus realizing the thinning of the electronic equipment.

It is understood that the camera module can usually include lenses, motors, filters, chips and printed circuit boards and other devices, stacked together to make the camera module have a certain height. The camera module with a certain height will occupy the internal space of the electronic equipment, and then increase the size of the electronic equipment, so it is difficult to realize the thinning of the electronic equipment.
