Abstract

An electromagnetic driving mechanism is provided, including a first member, a second member movably connected to the first member, an electromagnetic driving assembly, and a film. The electromagnetic driving assembly includes a magnet and a coil respectively disposed on the first and second members, so as to move the second member relative to the first member. The film is formed on the second member and has positive magnetic susceptibility.

Claims (40)

1. An electromagnetic driving mechanism for moving a lens, comprising:

a first member;

a second member, movably connected to the first member;

an electromagnetic driving assembly, comprising a magnet and a coil respectively disposed on the first and second members, to move the second member relative to the first member;

a film, formed on the second member and having positive magnetic susceptibility;

a sensing element, disposed on the first or second member and located corresponding to the magnet, to detect relative movement between the first and second members, wherein the sensing element is located between the film and the magnet; and

an insulating laver, disposed between the sensing element and the film.

2. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film comprises ferromagnetic or paramagnetic material.

3. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film comprises Fe, Ni, Co or an alloy thereof.

4. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film comprises Al, Cr, Mo, Ti, Zr or an alloy thereof.

5. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film is formed on the second member by electroplating, evaporation coating, sputtering, Laser Direct Structuring (LDS), Molded Interconnect Device (MID) technology, or insert molding.

6. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film is parallel to an optical axis of the lens.

7. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coil is located between the magnet and the film.

8. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the magnet is located between the coil and the film.

9. An electromagnetic driving mechanism for moving a lens, comprising:

a first member;

a second member, movably connected to the first member;

an electromagnetic driving assembly, comprising a magnet and a coil respectively disposed on the first and second members to move the second member relative to the first member;

a film, formed on the magnet and having positive magnetic susceptibility, wherein the magnet is located between the film and the coil;

a sensing element, disposed on the first or second member and located corresponding to the magnet, to detect relative movement between the first and second members, wherein the sensing element is located between the film and the magnet; and

an insulating layer, disposed between the sensing element and the film.

10. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the film comprises Fe, Ni, Co or an alloy thereof.

11. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the film comprises Al, Cr, Mo, Ti, Zr or an alloy thereof.

12. An electromagnetic driving mechanism for moving a lens, comprising:

a first member;

a second member, movably connected to the first member;

an electromagnetic driving assembly, comprising a coil and a magnet respectively disposed on the first and second members to move the second member relative to the first member;

a film, formed on the first member and located corresponding to the magnet, wherein the film is perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens and has positive magnetic susceptibility;

a sensing element, disposed on the first or second member and located corresponding to the magnet to detect relative movement between the first and second members, wherein the sensing element is located between the film and the magnet; and

an insulating layer, disposed between the sensing element and the film.

13. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the coil is located between the film and the magnet.

14. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the film comprises Fe, Ni, Co or an alloy thereof.

15. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the film comprises Al, Cr, Mo, Ti, Zr or an alloy thereof.

16. An electromagnetic driving mechanism for moving a lens, comprising:

a first member;

a second member, movably connected to the first member;

an electromagnetic driving assembly, comprising a magnet and a coil respectively disposed on the first and second members to move the second member relative to the first member; and

a film, formed on the first member and having positive magnetic susceptibility, wherein the film and the magnet attract each other by a magnetic attractive force generated therebetween.

17. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the film has Fe, Ni, Co or an alloy thereof.

18. The electromagnetic driving mechanism as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the film has Al, Cr, Mo, Ti, Zr or an alloy thereof.
