一対の抑えバネ242(図9A、図9B、図10参照)はそれぞれ、付勢機構であって、第一ベース22に固定されている。このような抑えバネ242はそれぞれ、ホルダ241をZ方向-側(つまり、第一ベース22に向かう方向)に押圧する。これとともに、抑えバネ242はそれぞれ、Y方向両側からY方向中央に向けてホルダ241を押圧している。
第一アクチュエータ244(図4、6参照)は、第一軸を中心にホルダ241を揺動させる。本実施形態の場合、第一アクチュエータ244は、プリズム23の光路屈曲面231およびホルダ241とZ方向(つまり、第一光軸の方向)に重なるようにプリズム23およびホルダ241の裏側(つまり、Z方向-側)に配置されている。なお、本実施形態の場合、第一光軸の方向が、第一方向に相当する。
レンズモジュール3は、図11~19に示すように、第二カバー31、第二ベース32、レンズ部33、AF装置36、第二振れ補正装置37、および基準部材38を備える。
第二カバー31は、例えば合成樹脂製または非磁性金属製であり、X方向両側およびZ方向-側(つまり、裏側)が開口した箱状部材である。以上のような第二カバー31は、後述する第二ベース32にZ方向+側から組み合わされる。
第二ベース32(図14、15参照)は、上述の第二カバー31と組み合わされることにより、レンズ部33、AF装置36、および第二振れ補正装置37を配置可能な第二収容空間320(図11参照)を形成する。
レンズ部33は、後述するレンズガイド361に保持された状態で、第二収容空間320に配置されている。このようなレンズ部33は、筒状のレンズバレル、および、レンズバレルに保持された1以上のレンズを有する。一例として、レンズ部33は、レンズバレルのX方向-側の端部とレンズバレルのX方向+側の端部との間に固定された、たとえば光学3倍以上の望遠レンズ群を有する。なお、レンズ部33の構造は、上述の構造に限定されない。
AF装置36(図5参照)は、オートフォーカスを目的として、レンズ部33をX方向に変位させる。具体的には、AF装置36は、レンズガイド361、複数個(本実施形態の場合4個)のスプリング362a~362d、FPC363、および一対のAFアクチュエータ364a、364bを有している。
レンズガイド361(図11、16参照)は、レンズバレルを保持可能な収容空間を有する。このようなレンズガイド361は、X方向(つまり、第二光軸の方向)およびY方向の変位を可能な状態で、上述の第二収容空間320に配置されている。
複数個(本実施形態の場合4個)のスプリング362a~362d(図12、13、17参照)は、レンズガイド361を第二ベース32に弾性的に支持している。この状態で、レンズ部33は、第二ベース32に対してX方向およびY方向に変位できる。
FPC363(図11、18参照)は、フレキシブルプリント回路基板であって、第二ベース32に固定されている。このようなFPC363は、例えば、後述するAF装置36および第二振れ補正装置37の第二アクチュエータ370a、370bに電力を供給する。
一対のAFアクチュエータ364a、364b(図11参照)はそれぞれ、オートフォーカス用となる第三アクチュエータである。Y方向+側のAFアクチュエータ364aは、AF用マグネット365a、およびAF用コイル366aを有する。一方、Y方向-側のAFアクチュエータ364bは、AF用マグネット365b、AF用コイル366b、およびAF用ホール素子367を有する。
第二振れ補正装置37(図5参照)は、レンズ部33をY方向(第二方向ともいう。)に変位させることにより、Y方向の振れ補正を行う。このような第二振れ補正装置37は、上述の第二収容空間320(図4参照)に配置されている。
基準部材38(図12、19参照)は、第二ベース32のX方向+側の端部に固定された板状部材である。このような基準部材38のX方向+側の側面は、後述する撮像素子モジュール4のX方向の基準面となる。基準部材38の中央部には、レンズ部33を通過した光を撮像素子モジュール4に導光する貫通孔38aが形成されている。
撮像素子モジュール4は、レンズ部33よりもX方向+側に配置されている。撮像素子モジュール4は、例えばCCD(charge-coupled device)型イメージセンサー、CMOS(complementary metal oxide semiconductor)型イメージセンサー等の撮像素子を含んで構成される。撮像素子モジュール4の撮像素子は、レンズ部33により結像された被写体像を撮像し、被写体像に対応する電気信号を出力する。撮像素子モジュール4の基板(図示省略)にはプリント配線基板(図示省略)が電気的に接続され、このプリント配線基板を介して撮像素子モジュール4への給電及び撮像素子モジュール4で撮像された被写体像の電気信号の出力が行われる。このような撮像素子モジュール4は、従来から知られている構造のものを採用できる。
以上のような構成を有する本実施形態のカメラ用アクチュエータおよびカメラモジュール1の場合、プリズムモジュール2に、第一振れ補正装置24の第一アクチュエータ244のみが設けられている。しかも、第一アクチュエータ244は、プリズム23とZ方向(つまり、第一光軸の方向)に重なるようにプリズム23の裏側(つまり、Z方向-側)に配置されている。したがって、プリズム23のX方向の周囲およびY方向の周囲にカメラ用アクチュエータが配置されていない。このため、プリズム23のX方向の周囲およびY方向の周囲における設計の自由度を向上できる。このような設計の自由度の向上は、プリズムモジュール2のX方向およびY方向の小型化に資する。
本実施形態では、第二振れ補正装置37の第二アクチュエータ370a、370bがZ方向+側に、AF装置36のAFアクチュエータ364a、364bがZ方向-側に配置されているが、第二振れ補正装置37の第二アクチュエータ370a、370bがZ方向-側に、AF装置36のAFアクチュエータ364a、364bがZ方向+側に配置されてもよい。
図20、21は、本発明の実施形態2に係るカメラモジュール1aを示す斜視図である。本実施形態のカメラモジュール1aは、プリズムモジュール2aのホルダ241をZ方向-側(つまり、第一ベース22に向かう方向)に押圧する付勢機構の構造が、上述の実施形態1と異なる。その他のカメラモジュール1aの構造は、上述の実施形態1と同様である。このため、以下、本実施形態に係るカメラモジュール1aの構造について、上述の実施形態1と相違する部分の構造を中心に説明する。
図23~32を参照して、本発明の実施形態3に係るカメラモジュールについて説明する。本実施形態の場合、プリズムモジュール2bの構造が、前述の実施形態1と異なる。具体的には、後述する第一ベース22aに対して、ホルダ241Aを揺動可能に支持する部分の構造が、実施形態1と異なる。
本実施形態に係るカメラモジュールのプリズムモジュール2bは、第一カバー21、第一ベース22a、プリズム23、および第一振れ補正装置24aを備える。第一カバー21およびプリズム23の構造は、前述の実施形態1と同様である。
第一ベース22aは、前述の実施形態1の第一ベース22と同様に、Z方向+側およびX方向+側がそれぞれ開口した箱状部材である。第一ベース22aのZ方向-側の底壁部229には、ベース第一開口部220(図25参照)が形成されている。
第一振れ補正装置24aは、前述した実施形態1と同様に、Y方向に平行な第一軸を中心にプリズム23を揺動させて、当該第一軸を中心とした回転方向の振れ補正を行う。このような第一振れ補正装置24aは、第一収容空間223(図25参照)に配置される。
一対の揺動ガイド部材245は、それぞれ、たとえば、セラミック製、金属製、合成樹脂製の球体である。一対の揺動ガイド部材245のうちの一方(つまり、Y方向+側)の揺動ガイド部材245は、第一ベース22aの第一受部225cに配置される。一方、他方(つまり、Y方向-側)の揺動ガイド部材245は、第一ベース22aの第二受部225dに配置される。
一対の揺動支持バネ243は、後述するホルダ241Aを、第一ベース22aに対して揺動可能に支持する。一対の揺動支持バネ243はそれぞれ、金属製の板バネであって、一対の揺動ガイド部材245のZ方向+側に配置される。
スペーサ246は、第一ベース22aの底壁部229のZ方向-側の面(つまり、底面)に形成された底溝229a(図26、29参照)に配置される。このようなスペーサ246は、第一マグネット244fと第一コイル244cとのZ方向における衝突を防止する。
ホルダ241A(図29、32参照)は、例えば、合成樹脂製であって、第一ベース22aに対してプリズム23を揺動可能な状態で保持する。
第一アクチュエータ244Aは、第一軸を中心にホルダ241Aを揺動させる。本実施形態の場合、第一軸とは、一対の揺動ガイド部材245の揺動ガイド面245aと、一対の揺動支持バネ243のバネ側ガイド面243hとの当接部を通るY軸に平行な直線である。
図33を参照して、本発明の実施形態4に係るカメラモジュールについて説明する。本実施形態の場合、レンズモジュールの構造が、前述した実施形態1と異なる。特に、本実施形態の場合、レンズモジュールを構成する一対のAFアクチュエータ364c、364dおよび一対の第二アクチュエータ370c、370dの構造が、前述の実施形態1と異なる。
一対のAFアクチュエータ364c、364dはそれぞれ、オートフォーカス用となる第三アクチュエータである。一方(つまり、Y方向+側)のAFアクチュエータ364cは、AF用マグネット365a、AF用コイル366a、およびAF用第二マグネット369aを有する。
一対の第二アクチュエータ370c、370dのうち一方(つまり、Y方向+側)の第二アクチュエータ370cは、一方(つまり、Y方向+側)のAFアクチュエータ364cに対して、Z方向に所定の間隔をあけて対向する。このような一方の第二アクチュエータ370cは、第二マグネット371c、第二コイル372a、および第二ホール素子373を有する。
第二マグネット371c、371dとAF用マグネット365a、365bとのZ方向の間部分に、磁性金属製のシールド板6a、6bが設けられる。これにより、一対の第二アクチュエータ370c、370dと、一対のAFアクチュエータ364c、364dとのクロストークが防止される。その他の構造および作用・効果は前述の実施形態1と同様である。
図34~36を参照して、本発明の実施形態5に係るカメラモジュールについて説明する。本実施形態の場合、レンズモジュールの構造が、前述した実施形態1と異なる。特に、本実施形態の場合、レンズモジュールを構成する一対のAFアクチュエータ364e、364f、一対の第二アクチュエータ370e、370f、およびFPC363Aの構造が、前述した実施形態1と異なる。
一対のAFアクチュエータ364e、364fはそれぞれ、オートフォーカス用となる第三アクチュエータである。一方(つまり、Y方向+側)のAFアクチュエータ364eは、一対のAF用マグネット365a、一対のAF用コイル366a、およびAF用ホール素子367aを有する。
一対の第二アクチュエータ370e、370fのうち一方(つまり、Y方向+側)の第二アクチュエータ370eは、一方のAFアクチュエータ364eに対して、Z方向に所定の間隔をあけて対向する。このような第二アクチュエータ370eは、第二マグネット371c、第二コイル372a、および第二ホール素子373を有する。
また、第二マグネット371cとAF用マグネット365aとの間、および、第二マグネット371dとAF用マグネット365bとのZ方向の間部分のそれぞれ、磁性金属製の1対のシールド板6a、6bが配置される。これにより、一対の第二アクチュエータ370e、370fと、一対のAFアクチュエータ364e、364fとのクロストークが防止される。その他の構造および作用・効果は前述の実施形態1と同様である。
図37を参照して、本発明の実施形態6に係るカメラモジュールについて説明する。本実施形態の場合、一対のAFアクチュエータ364e、364fの構造は、AF用ホール素子367aの位置を、一対のAFアクチュエータ364e、364fとの間で入れ替えた点を除いて、前述の実施形態5とほぼ同様である。このため、一対のAFアクチュエータ364e、364fについての、詳しい説明は省略する。
一対の第二アクチュエータ370g、370hのうち一方(つまり、Y方向+側)の第二アクチュエータ370gは、第二マグネット371a、第二コイル372a、および第三マグネット374aを有する。
本実施形態の場合、第二マグネット371a、371bのZ方向+側に隣接する位置に、磁性金属製のシールド板(ヨークともいう。)6a、6bが配置される。このようなシールド板6a、6bは、第二マグネット371a、371bのヨークとして機能する。その他の構造および作用・効果は前述の実施形態1と同様である。
図38、39を参照して、本発明の実施形態7に係るカメラモジュールについて説明する。本実施形態の場合、一対のAFアクチュエータ364e、364fの構造は、前述の実施形態5とほぼ同様である。
一対の第二アクチュエータ370i、370jのうちY方向+側の第二アクチュエータ370iは、一対の第二マグネット371a、第二コイル372a、および第二ホール素子373を有する。本実施形態の場合、前述の実施形態1の構造と比べて、第二マグネット371aが一つ増えている。なお、これら各部材の構造は、実施形態1と同様である。
図40~52を参照して、本発明の実施形態8に係るカメラモジュールについて説明する。本実施形態の場合、プリズムモジュール2cおよびレンズモジュール3aの構造が、前述の実施形態1および実施形態3と異なる。以下、本実施形態に係るカメラモジュールの構造について、実施形態1および実施形態3と異なる部分を中心に説明する。
本実施形態に係るカメラモジュールのプリズムモジュール2cは、第一カバー21(図1A参照)、第一ベース22b、プリズム23、および第一振れ補正装置24b(図40および図41参照)を備える。第一カバー21およびプリズム23の構造は、前述の実施形態1と同様である。
第一ベース22bは、前述した実施形態1の第一ベース22と同様に、Z方向+側およびX方向+側がそれぞれ開口した箱状部材である。第一ベース22bは、Z方向-側の底壁部229bに、ベース第一開口部220(図43参照)を有する。
第一振れ補正装置24bは、前述した実施形態1および実施形態3と同様に、Y方向に平行な第一軸を中心にプリズム23を揺動させて、当該第一軸を中心とした回転方向の振れ補正を行う。このような第一振れ補正装置24bは、第一収容空間223(図6参照)に配置される。
一対の揺動ガイド部材245はそれぞれ、たとえば、セラミック製、金属製、合成樹脂製の球体である。一対の揺動ガイド部材245のうちの一方(つまり、Y方向+側)の揺動ガイド部材245は、第一ベース22bの第一受部225c1(図44参照)に配置される。一方、他方(つまり、Y方向-側)の揺動ガイド部材245は、第一ベース22bの第二受部225d1に配置される。
一対の揺動支持バネ243Aは、後述するホルダ241Bを、第一ベース22bに対して揺動可能に支持する。一対の揺動支持バネ243Aはそれぞれ、金属製の板バネであって、一対の揺動ガイド部材245のZ方向+側に配置される。
ホルダ241B(図40参照)は、例えば、合成樹脂製であって、第一ベース22bに対してプリズム23を揺動可能な状態で保持する。ホルダ241Bの基本的な構成は、前述の実施形態3のホルダ241A(図32参照)とほぼ同様である。以下、ホルダ241Bについて、実施形態3のホルダ241Aと異なる構成を説明する。
第一アクチュエータ244Aは、第一軸を中心にホルダ241Bを揺動させる。本実施形態の場合、第一軸とは、一対の揺動ガイド部材245の揺動ガイド面245aと、一対の揺動支持バネ243Aのバネ側ガイド面243h1との当接部を通るY軸に平行な直線である。なお、第一アクチュエータ244Aの構造は、前述した実施形態3と同様である。このような第一アクチュエータ244Aは、前述の実施形態3と同様に、手振れ補正用の制御部(図示省略)の制御下で、ホルダ241Bを、第一軸を中心に揺動させる。ホルダ241Bが第一軸を中心に揺動する際の動作については、図31を参照して説明した前述した実施形態3の場合と同様である。
レンズモジュール3aは、図46~52に示すように、第二カバー31(図1A参照)、第二ベース32A、レンズ部33、AF装置36A、第二振れ補正装置37A、および基準部材38を備える。第二カバー31、レンズ部33、および基準部材38は、前述した実施形態1と同様である。
第二ベース32A(図46および図47参照)は、上述の第二カバー31と組み合わされることにより、レンズ部33、AF装置36A、および第二振れ補正装置37Aを配置可能な第二収容空間320(図4参照)を形成する。
レンズ部33は、後述するレンズガイド361Bに保持された状態で、第二収容空間320に配置される。このようなレンズ部33は、筒状のレンズバレル、および、レンズバレルに保持された1以上のレンズを有する。一例として、レンズ部33は、レンズバレルのX方向-側の端部とレンズバレルのX方向+側の端部との間に固定された、たとえば光学3倍以上の望遠レンズ群を有する。なお、レンズ部33の構造は、上述の構造に限定されない。
AF装置36A(図48および図49参照)は、オートフォーカスを目的として、レンズ部33をX方向に変位させる。具体的には、AF装置36Aは、レンズガイド361B、複数個(本実施形態の場合4個)のスプリング362a1~362d1、FPC363B、および一対のAFアクチュエータ364a1、364b1を有する。
レンズガイド361B(図46~図48参照)は、レンズバレルを保持可能な収容空間を有する。このようなレンズガイド361Bは、X方向(つまり、第二光軸の方向)およびY方向の変位を可能な状態で、上述の第二収容空間320に配置されている。
複数個(本実施形態の場合4個)のスプリング362a1~362d1(図46および図47参照)は、レンズガイド361Bを第二ベース32Aに弾性的に支持する。この状態で、レンズ部33は、第二ベース32Aに対してX方向およびY方向に変位できる。
FPC363B(図50参照)は、フレキシブルプリント回路基板であって、第二ベース32A(図46および図47参照)に固定される。FPC363Bは、例えば、後述するAF装置36Aおよび第二振れ補正装置37Aの第二アクチュエータ370a1、370b1に電力を供給する。
一対のAFアクチュエータ364a1、364b1(図48および図49参照)はそれぞれ、オートフォーカス用となる第三アクチュエータである。Y方向+側のAFアクチュエータ364a1は、AF用マグネット365a1、およびAF用コイル366aを有する。一方、Y方向-側のAFアクチュエータ364b1は、AF用マグネット365b1、AF用コイル366b、およびAF用ホール素子367を有する。以下、一対のAFアクチュエータ364a1、364b1について、前述の実施形態1と相違する部分の構造を中心に説明する。
第二振れ補正装置37A(図48および図49参照)は、レンズ部33をY方向に変位させることにより、Y方向の振れ補正を行う。このような第二振れ補正装置37Aは、上述の第二収容空間320(図4参照)に配置される。
