Liquid lens module, camera module including the same, and optical device including the module
View Patent ↗A liquid lens module includes a first plate comprising a cavity accommodating a conductive liquid and a non-conductive liquid; second and third plates disposed above and below the first plate, respectively; and first and second electrodes disposed on one side and another side of the first plate, respectively, wherein a ratio of a thickness of the first plate to a width of an incidence opening formed below the second plate in the cavity is greater than 0.3.
1. A liquid lens module, comprising:
a first plate comprising a cavity accommodating a conductive liquid and a non-conductive liquid;
second and third plates disposed above and below the first plate, respectively; and
first and second electrodes disposed on one side and another side of the first plate, respectively,
wherein the cavity has an inclined surface extending from an incidence opening formed below the second plate to an emission opening,
wherein the incidence opening and the emission opening are circular, and a diameter of the incidence opening is smaller than a diameter of the emission opening,
wherein a ratio of a thickness of the first plate between the incidence opening and the emission opening to the diameter of the incidence opening is greater than 0.3, and
wherein a module tilting angle in a macro state is 1°.
2. The liquid lens module according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio is 0.31 to 0.42.
3. The liquid lens module according to claim 1 , further comprising an insulation layer on the inclined surface.
4. The liquid lens module according to claim 3 , wherein the first electrode extends along the insulation layer.
