Abstract

A lens driving apparatus with a closed-loop anti-shake structure, including: a lens holder including a coil; a frame including a plurality of magnets and receiving the lens holder; a driving circuit board disposed under the frame; a plurality of first set of elastic bodies configured such that the lens holder remains movable in a direction of a first axis with respect to the frame; a plurality of second set of elastic bodies configured such that the frame remains movable in a direction perpendicular to the first axis with respect to the driving circuit board; and a first optical module and a first optical reference respectively disposed at the driving circuit board and the lens holder, the first optical module sensing a relative movement of the first optical reference so as to sense a movement of the lens holder in the direction of the first axis.

Claims (15)

1. A lens driving apparatus with a closed-loop anti-shake structure, comprising:

a lens holder carrying a lens;

a frame receiving the lens holder;

a driving module configured for driving the lens holder to relatively move with respect to the frame;

an anti-shake module configured for driving the frame to relatively move with respect to a support; and

a first optical module and a first optical reference respectively disposed at the support and the lens holder, the first optical module sensing a relative movement of the first optical reference so as to sense a movement of the lens holder in a direction of a first axis.

2. The lens driving apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first optical module and the first optical reference are arranged on respective surfaces of the driving module and the lens holder which are opposite to each other, and the first optical module senses a distance between itself and the first optical reference so as to sense the movement of the lens holder in the direction of the first axis.

3. The lens driving apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first optical module comprises a light source and a light intensity sensor, and the first optical reference is a reflection mirror that reflects the light source's light to the light intensity sensor.

4. The lens driving apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first optical module is disposed on a surface of the driving module which faces a bottom surface of the lens holder on which the first optical reference is disposed.

5. The lens driving apparatus of claim 2 further comprising a plurality of Hall sensors disposed on the driving module and configured to sense a movement of the frame in a direction perpendicular to the first axis.

6. The lens driving apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a second optical module and a third optical module disposed at the driving module, and a second optical reference and a third optical reference disposed at the frame, the second optical module sensing a relative movement of the second optical reference and the third optical module sensing a relative movement of the third optical reference so as to sense the movement of the frame in a direction perpendicular to the first axis.

7. The lens driving apparatus of claim 6 , wherein each of the second optical module and the third optical module comprises a light source and an optical phase sensor, and each of the second optical reference and the third optical reference is a reflection grating that reflects the light source's light to the optical phase sensor.

8. The lens driving apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the second optical reference and the third optical reference are disposed on surfaces of the frame opposite to the driving module, and the second optical module senses a movement of the second optical reference in a plane perpendicular to the first axis and the third optical module senses a movement of the third optical reference in a plane perpendicular to the first axis so as to sense the movement of the frame in the direction perpendicular to the first axis.

9. The lens driving apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the second optical module and the third optical module are disposed on a surface of the driving module which is parallel to the first axis direction, the second optical reference and the third optical reference are disposed on the side surface of the frame which is parallel to the first axis direction, and the third optical module senses a distance between itself and the third optical reference and the second optical module senses a distance between itself and the second optical reference so as to sense the movement of the frame in the direction perpendicular to the first axis.

10. The lens driving apparatus of claim 6 , wherein each of the second optical module and the third optical module comprises a light source and a light intensity sensor, and each of the second optical reference and the third optical reference is a reflection mirror that reflects the light source's light to the light intensity sensor.
