Abstract

An optical system is provided and includes a light-sensing element, at least one optical lens, a reflecting unit and a first driving assembly. The reflecting unit includes a reflecting surface, configured to receive an incident light and to reflect a reflecting light. The reflecting light travels through the optical lens into the light-sensing element. The first driving assembly is configured to control the reflecting unit to move along a first axis direction, so as to adjust a focus position of the reflecting light on the light-sensing element.

Claims (15)

1. An optical system, comprising:

a light-sensing element;

at least one optical lens;

a reflecting unit, comprising a reflecting surface, wherein the reflecting surface is configured to receive an incident light and to reflect a reflecting light, and the reflecting light is projected into the light-sensing element through the optical lens; and

a first driving assembly, configured to control the reflecting unit to move along a first axis direction from a first position to a second position, so as to adjust a focus position of the reflecting light on the light-sensing element;

wherein the reflecting surface in the first position is parallel to the reflecting surface in the second position, and a distance between a center of the reflecting unit in the first position and the center of the reflecting unit in the second position is not zero.

2. The optical system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflecting unit and the optical lens are arranged along a first direction, the incident light is emitted to the reflecting unit along a second direction, and a third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, wherein the first axis direction is not parallel to the third direction.

3. The optical system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first direction is substantially perpendicular to a light-sensing surface of the light-sensing element.

4. The optical system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflecting surface includes an arc structure.

5. The optical system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a center of the arc structure corresponds to a center of the incident light.

6. The optical system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the reflecting surface includes a radius, and the radius substantially ranges from 100 to 1000 mm.

7. The optical system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the reflecting surface further includes a flat surface, and the arc structure surrounds the flat surface.

8. The optical system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the arc structure is a convex structure or a concave structure.

9. The optical system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the optical system further comprises a second driving assembly, configured to drive the reflecting unit to rotate around a second axis.

10. The optical system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the optical system further comprises a third driving assembly, configured to drive the reflecting unit to rotate around a third axis.
