Abstract

An optical system is provided, including: a base; a first driving module, including: a first holder configured to receive a first optical element and having a first side; a first coil disposed on the first holder; at least one first magnet adjacent to the first coil; and a second driving module, including: a second holder configured to receive a second optical element and having a second side; a second coil disposed on the second holder; and at least one second magnet adjacent to the second coil; wherein the first side is adjacent to the second side, and no magnet is disposed on the first side or the second side.

Claims (32)

1. An optical system, comprising:

a base;

a first driving module, comprising:

a first holder configured to receive a first optical element and having a first side and a third side, when viewed in an optical axis of the first optical element, the optical system is polygonal;

a first coil disposed on the first holder;

at least one first magnet adjacent to the first coil, wherein a magnetic force is generated between the first coil and the first magnet to move the first holder and the first optical element relative to the base, the at least one first magnet is strip-shaped, extending along the third side, and disposed at the third side; and

a second driving module, comprising:

a second holder configured to receive a second optical element and having a second side;

a second coil disposed on the second holder; and

at least one second magnet adjacent to the second coil, wherein a magnetic force is generated between the second coil and the second magnet to move the second holder and the second optical element relative to the base, when viewed along the optical axis, the at least one second magnet is disposed at a corner of the optical system;

wherein the first side is adjacent to the second side, and no magnet is disposed on the first side or the second side.

2. The optical system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first side and the second side are parallel to each other.

3. The optical system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the number of the at least one first magnet is two, and the first holder further comprises a fourth side and a fifth side, wherein the two first magnets are respectively disposed on the third and fourth sides, and the third side is perpendicular to the fourth side, and wherein the fourth side is between the third and fifth sides.

4. The optical system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the number of the at least one first magnet is two, and the first holder further comprises a fourth side and a fifth side, wherein the two first magnets are respectively disposed on the third and fifth sides, and the third side is parallel to the fifth side, and wherein the fourth side is between the third and fifth sides.

5. The optical system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the number of the least one first magnet is three, and the first holder further comprises a fourth side and a fifth side, wherein the three first magnets are respectively disposed on the third, fourth and fifth sides, and the third side is perpendicular to the fourth side, and wherein the fourth side is between the third and fifth sides.

6. The optical system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first coil is disposed on the first holder, and the second coil is disposed on the second holder, wherein a magnetic force is generated between the first coil and the first magnet to move the first holder along a direction parallel to an optical axis of the first optical element, and a magnetic force is generated between the second coil and the second magnet to move the second holder along a direction parallel to the optical axis of the second optical element.

7. An optical system, comprising:

a base;

a first driving module, comprising:

a first holder configured to receive a first optical element and having a first side and a third side, when viewed in an optical axis of the first optical element, the optical system is polygonal;

a first coil disposed on the first holder;

at least one first magnet adjacent to the first coil, wherein a magnetic force is generated between the first coil and the first magnet to move the first holder and the first optical element relative to the base, the at least one first magnet is strip-shaped, extending along the third side, and disposed at the third side; and

a second driving module, comprising:

a second holder configured to receive a second optical element and having a second side;

a second coil disposed on the second holder; and

at least one second magnet adjacent to the second coil, wherein a magnetic force is generated between the second coil and the second magnet to move the second holder and the second optical element relative to the base, when viewed along the optical axis, the at least one second magnet is disposed at a corner of the optical system,

wherein the first side is adjacent to the second side, a first distance is formed between the first magnet and the second magnet, and a second distance is formed between the first side and the second side, wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.

8. The optical system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the first side and the second side are parallel to each other.

9. The optical system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the number of the at least one first magnet is two, and the first holder further comprises a fourth side and a fifth side, wherein the two first magnets are respectively disposed on the third and fourth sides, and the third side is perpendicular to the fourth side, and wherein the fourth side is between the third and fifth sides.

10. The optical system as claimed in claim 7 , the number of the at least one first magnet is two, and the first holder further comprises a fourth side and a fifth side, wherein the two first magnets are respectively disposed on the third and fifth sides, and the third side is parallel to the fifth side, and wherein the fourth side is between the third and fifth sides.

11. The optical system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the number of the least one first magnet is three, and the first holder further comprises a fourth side and a fifth side, wherein the three first magnets are respectively disposed on the third, fourth and fifth sides, and the third side is perpendicular to the fourth side, and wherein the fourth side is between the third and fifth sides.

12. The optical system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the first coil is disposed on the first holder, and the second coil is disposed on the second holder, wherein a magnetic force is generated between the first coil and the first magnet to move the first holder along a direction parallel to the optical axis of the first optical element, and a magnetic force is generated between the second coil and the second magnet to move the second holder along a direction parallel to an optical axis of the second optical element.
