Abstract

A testing method includes: providing a camera under test and a planar light source having a first mark, wherein the camera includes a voice coil motor (VCM) and a lens module is fixed on the VCM by glue, the VCM moves the lens module, the VCM includes an elastic tab for limiting and restoring the movement of the lens module; taking an image of a light source using the camera during the movement of the VCM; displaying the image having the first mark; determining if the first mark tilts using a detector; displaying a first message indicating that the tab is not stuck by glue when the detector determines the first mark does not tilt; and displaying a second message indicating that the tab is stuck by glue when the detector determines the first mark tilts.

Claims (34)

1. A testing method comprising:

providing a camera under test, a power source, and a planar light source having a first mark with a first color, wherein the camera includes a voice coil motor (VCM) and a lens module is fixed on the VCM by glue, the power source is configured to power the VCM to drive the VCM moving the lens module, the VCM comprises an elastic tab for limiting and restoring the movement of the lens module;

taking an image of the light source using the camera during the movement of the VCM;

providing a display and displaying the image having the first mark with the first color using the display;

providing a detector and determining if the first mark tilts using the detector;

displaying a first message indicating that the tab is not stuck by glue when the detector determines the first mark does not tilt using the display; and

displaying a second message indicating that the tab is stuck by glue when the detector determines the first mark tilts using the display.

2. The testing method of claim 1 , wherein the first mark is positioned at an upper, lower, left, or right portion of the light source and corresponds to an upper, lower, left, or right portion the tab.

3. The testing method of claim 1 , wherein the first mark is a straight line and if the first mark tilts can be determined by the following sub-steps:

obtaining an included angle between the first mark and the horizontal direction;

acquiring a pixel of the first mark;

taking the pixel as an origin and drawing a straight line extending from the origin at the obtained included angle in relative to the horizontal direction;

detecting whether other pixels of the first mark are on the straight line; and

determining that the first mark tilts if the other pixels of the first mark are not all on the straight line or the first mark does not tilt if the other pixels of the first mark are all on the straight light.

4. The testing method of claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises another three marks positioned on the lower, left, and right portion of the light source and correspond to the lower, left, and right portions of the tab, respectively.

5. The testing method of claim 4 , wherein the light source further comprises a second mark with a second color positioned at a lower portion of the light source and corresponding to the lower portion of the tab.

6. The testing method of claim 5 , further comprising, after the detector determines the first mark does not tilt:

displaying the second mark with the second color using the display;

determining if the second mark tilts using the detector;

displaying the second message indicating that the tab is stuck by glue when the detector determines the second mark tilts using the display; and

displaying the first message indicating that the tab is not stuck by glue when the detector determines the second mark does not tilt using the display.

7. The testing method of claim 6 , wherein the light source further comprises a third mark with a third color positioned at a left portion of the light source and corresponding to the left portion of the tab.

8. The testing method of claim 7 , further comprising, after the detector determines the second mark does not tilt:

displaying the third mark with the third color using the display;

determining if the third mark tilts using the detector;

displaying the third message indicating that the tab is stuck by glue when the detector determines the third mark tilts using the display; and

displaying the first message indicating that the tab is not stuck by glue when the detector determines the third mark does not tilt using the display.

9. The testing method of claim 8 , wherein the light source further comprises a fourth mark with a fourth color positioned at a right portion of the light source and corresponding to the right portion of the tab.

10. The testing method of claim 9 , further comprising, after the detector determines the third mark does not tilt:

displaying the fourth mark with the fourth color using the display;

determining if the fourth mark tilts using the detector;

displaying the fourth message indicating that the tab is stuck by glue when the detector determines the fourth mark tilts using the display; and

displaying the first message indicating that the tab is not stuck by glue when the detector determines the fourth mark does not tilt using the display.

11. The testing method of claim 9 , wherein the first, second, third, and fourth colors are the same or different.
