Abstract

An aperture unit having an optical axis is provided, which includes a fixed portion, a guiding element movably connected to the fixed portion, a first blade movably connected to the guiding element and the fixed portion, a driving assembly used for driving the guiding element to move for moving the first blade, a circuit assembly electrically connected to the driving assembly, and a bottom plate disposed on the circuit assembly and including metal.

Claims (26)

1 . An aperture unit having an optical axis, comprising:

a fixed portion;

a guiding element movably connected to the fixed portion;

a first blade movably connected to the guiding element and the fixed portion;

a driving assembly used for driving the guiding element to move for moving the first blade;

a circuit assembly electrically connected to the driving assembly; and

a bottom plate disposed on the circuit assembly and comprising metal.

2 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a sensor disposed on the circuit assembly and used for detecting the movement of the guiding element.

3 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the bottom plate has a concave structure, and the sensor is disposed in the concave structure.

4 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fixed portion has a concave portion, and the sensor is disposed in the concave portion.

5 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a minimum distance between the sensor and a bottom surface of the fixed portion is less than a minimum distance between the bottom plate and the bottom surface of the fixed portion.

6 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixed portion has an opening corresponding to the circuit assembly.

7 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the driving assembly is partially disposed in the opening.

8 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driving assembly comprises a magnetic element and a driving substrate overlapping the bottom plate in a direction that the optical axis extends.

9 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a maximum size of the circuit assembly in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis is greater than a maximum size of the driving substrate in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

10 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a maximum size of the circuit assembly in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis is greater than a maximum size of the magnetic element in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

11 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a maximum size of the driving substrate in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis is greater than a maximum size of the magnetic element in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

12 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the magnetic element comprises first magnetic poles and second magnetic poles arranged in turn and surrounding the optical axis.

13 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the guiding element comprises a recess, and the magnetic element is partially disposed in the recess.

14 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a sensor, wherein the magnetic and the sensor are disposed on opposite sides of the driving substrate.

15 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a sensor, wherein the magnetic and the sensor are disposed on opposite sides of the circuit assembly.

16 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the circuit assembly is disposed between the driving assembly and the bottom plate.

17 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a sensor disposed on the circuit assembly, wherein the sensor and the bottom plate are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

18 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bottom plate is in contact with the circuit assembly.

19 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixed portion comprises a top plate arranged with the bottom plate along the optical axis, and a maximum size of the top plate in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis is greater than a maximum size of the bottom plate in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

20 . The aperture unit as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a sensor disposed on the circuit assembly, wherein the guiding element overlaps the sensor in a direction that the optical axis extends.
