Abstract

A camera module includes an imaging lens assembly, an image sensor, a first reflecting member and a first driving apparatus. The imaging lens assembly is for converging an imaging light on an image surface. The image sensor is disposed on the image surface. The first reflecting member is located on an image side of the imaging lens assembly, the first reflecting member is for folding the imaging light, and has a first translational degrees of freedom. The first reflecting member is assembled on the first driving apparatus, and the first driving apparatus is for driving the first reflecting member moving along the first translational degrees of freedom.

Claims (21)

1. A camera module, comprising:

an imaging lens assembly for receiving an incident light on an image surface;

an image sensor;

a first reflecting member configured to fold and direct the incident light toward the image sensor; and

a first driving apparatus configured to generate a relative movement between the first reflecting member and the image sensor;

wherein the first reflecting member comprises at least two reflecting surfaces;

wherein a thickness of the first reflecting member is H, and the following condition is satisfied:

3.00 mm≤ H ≤10.00 mm.

2. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the first driving apparatus is further configured to perform an autofocus function for the image sensor.

3. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the first driving apparatus is further configured to perform an optical image stabilization for the image sensor.

4. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein the first reflecting member further comprises an incident surface and an exiting surface, and at least one of the incident surface and the exiting surface has an aspheric surface.

5. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein a refractive index of the first reflecting member at a d-line is N, and the following condition is satisfied:

1.66 ≤N <2.5.

6. The camera module of claim 5 , wherein the refractive index of the first reflecting member at the d-line is N, and the following condition is satisfied:

1.70≤ N< 2.5.

7. The camera module of claim 1 , wherein a length of the camera module is L, a width of the camera module is W, and the following condition is satisfied:

1.7≤ L/W< 3.5.

8. The camera module of claim 7 , wherein the length of the camera module is L, the width of the camera module is W, and the following condition is satisfied:

0.8< L/W< 2.5.

9. An electronic device, comprising:

the camera module of claim 1 .
