- CCM Camera Compact Module
- IR Cut Filter infrared cut filter
- Image Sensor image sensor
- VCM voice coil motor
- the CCM workflow is as follows: First, the voice coil motor drives the lens to achieve focus, focusing the light carrying visual information through the lens. This light is then filtered out by an infrared cutoff filter to remove infrared wavelengths invisible to the human eye, and then imaged onto the image sensor. Next, the photodiode in the image sensor converts the light signal into an electrical signal, which is then amplified and converted into a digital signal matrix, or RAW image. Finally, the image signal is processed by the Image Signal Processing (ISP) module and compressed for storage in memory. The RAW image is the raw data generated by the image sensor converting the captured light source signal into a digital signal.
- ISP Image Signal Processing
- An image sensor is a device that converts optical images into electronic signals and is the core component of a camera module.
- image sensors are primarily classified into charge-coupled devices (CCDs) and complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS).
- CMOS complementary metal oxide semiconductors
- the core function of an image sensor is to sense light, converting the detected light signal into a digital signal for easy transmission and processing.
- CMOS Image Sensor is a type of image sensor that utilizes CMOS semiconductors. Compared to CCD image sensors, CMOS image sensors offer lower cost and power consumption, and more flexible readout methods.
- the CIS operates as follows: an array of photodiodes senses light signals and converts them into electrical signals. This is then processed through an amplification circuit and analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) circuit to form a digital signal matrix, or image. This is then processed by the ISP module to generate image data, which is then compressed and stored.
- ADC analog-to-digital conversion
- the lens is another core component in the camera module. Its function is to focus light within the field of view onto the imaging plane. Its optical quality directly affects image quality. From the perspective of information transmission, the design of the lens determines the transmission of high-frequency information to the image plane, which directly affects the module's image clarity. From the perspective of energy transmission, the lens structure and transmittance determine the intensity and distribution of light reaching the CIS, which directly affects the CIS's signal-to-noise ratio.
- Dynamic range refers to the ability of an image sensor to capture both highlights and shadows in an image.
- High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging technology is an imaging technology that can achieve a larger dynamic range.
- dynamic range is defined as the ratio between the full well capacity (FWC) of an image sensor and the noise floor.
- Full well capacity refers to the maximum amount of charge that can be accumulated by the capacitance of the photodiode of an image sensor.
- the noise floor also known as readout noise, is defined as the noise generated by the readout circuit, which does not include the noise generated in the detector.
- the readout circuit includes an amplifier within the pixel. Therefore, by increasing the full well capacity or reducing the noise floor, the dynamic range of the image sensor can be improved, allowing the image sensor to achieve the imaging requirements of high dynamic range imaging. It is understandable that when the dynamic range of an image sensor is small, the image acquired by the image sensor will have bright or dark areas. Bright areas will be too bright due to overexposure, and dark areas will lose details due to underexposure, affecting the quality of the image captured by the image sensor.
- Liquid Crystal on Silicon is an optical component that combines liquid crystal and silicon chip technology. It inputs electrical signals to a semiconductor chip through tiny interconnects, driving the liquid crystal array to change pixel states, thereby varying the intensity of reflected light.
- a camera's imaging performance for highlight and dark areas in the same scene is limited.
- a highlight area may appear white due to overexposure, while a dark area may appear black due to underexposure. This limitation is caused by insufficient dynamic range.
- HDR high dynamic range
- traditional devices typically use multi-exposure HDR technology. This involves capturing multiple frames using different exposure strategies and then fusing them into a single HDR image. Because the fused HDR image maintains proper exposure, it avoids overexposure of bright areas and underexposure of dark areas, thus achieving HDR imaging.
- the resulting HDR image formed by fusing multiple frames, may exhibit motion blur, impacting the imaging quality of the camera.
- HDR high dynamic range
- traditional devices can also employ HDR technologies such as dual conversion gain (DCG) and digital overlap (DOL).
- DCG adds two photoelectric conversion amplifier circuits with different amplification powers, while digital overlap reads out and fuses images with different exposure times.

本申请主张在2024年04月17日在中国提交申请号为202410464340.3的中国专利的优先权,其全部内容通过引用包含于此。
本申请属于摄像技术领域,具体涉及一种摄像头模组、电子设备、拍摄方法及装置。
通常,摄像设备在同一场景中对高亮区域和昏暗区域的成像表现是存在局限的,高亮区域可能因为曝光过度,成像后呈现白色,昏暗区域可能因为曝光不足,成像后呈现黑色,这种局限就是动态范围不足,这会影响成像后的图像质量。高动态范围成像(High Dynamic Range Imaging,HDR)技术是一种可以实现更大的动态范围的成像技术。
传统设备为了实现高动态范围成像,通常采用多重曝光HDR技术,即通过不同曝光策略拍摄多帧图像,然后将多帧图像融合为一张高动态图像,因为融合后的高动态图像曝光自然,因此可以避免图像中的高亮区域过度曝光,避免图像中的昏暗区域曝光不足,从而可以实现高动态范围成像的要求。但是,由于采用多重曝光HDR技术拍摄图像时存在时间差,因此导致多帧图像融合形成的高动态图像中,可能会存在运动模糊的问题,影响摄像设备的成像质量。
本申请旨在提供一种摄像头模组、电子设备、拍摄方法及装置,以解决相关技术中采用多重曝光HDR技术拍摄图像时存在时间差,导致通过不同曝光策略拍摄的多帧图像融合形成的高动态图像中,存在运动模糊的问题。
为了解决上述技术问题,本申请是这样实现的:
第一方面,本申请实施例提出了一种摄像头模组,包括第一透镜组件、全反射镜、调光组件、图像传感器以及反馈电路,第一透镜组件、全反射镜和调光组件依次设置,图像传感器与全反射镜相对设置;入射光线经第一透镜组件汇聚后镜全反射镜进入调光组件,调光组件将入射光线调制后反射至全反射镜,全反射镜将入射光线反射至图像传感器;图像传感器包括至少一个感光区域,调光组件包括至少一个调光区域,一个感光区域与一个调光区域对应;反馈电路分别与图像传感器和调光组件连接;反馈电路,用于基于图像传感器中第一感光区域采集的图像数据得到反馈信号,并传输至调光组件;调光组件,用于基于反馈信号调节调光组件中与第一感光区域对应的第一调光区域的反射率。

第四方面,本申请实施例提出了一种图像处理装置,包括如第一方面所述的摄像头模组;该图像处理装置还包括:处理模块,用于控制所述摄像头模组的反馈电路获取所述摄像头模组中图像传感器在第一感光区域采集的第一图像数据;处理模块,还用于控制所述摄像头模组中的反馈电路基于所述第一图像数据,得到第一反馈信号;处理模块,还用于控制所述摄像头模组中的调光组件基于所述第一反馈信号调节所述调光组件中与所述第一感光区域对应的第一调光区域的反射率;处理模块,还用于控制所述图像传感器采集第二图像数据。
第五方面,本申请实施例提供了一种电子设备,该电子设备包括处理器和存储器,所述存储器存储可在所述处理器上运行的程序或指令,所述程序或指令被所述处理器执行时实现如第三方面所述的方法的步骤。

第八方面,本申请实施例提供一种计算机程序产品,该程序产品被存储在存储介质中,该程序产品被至少一个处理器执行以实现如第三方面所述的方法的步骤。
在本申请的实施例中,由于图像传感器可以采集摄像头模组所处环境的图像数据,反馈电路可以基于图像传感器中第一感光区域采集的图像数据得到反馈信号;调光组件可以基于反馈信号调节调光组件中与第一感光区域对应的第一调光区域的反射率。因此反馈电路可以基于第一感光区域的亮度值得到反馈信号并传输至调光组件,调光组件可以基于反馈信号减小或增强第一调光区域的反射率,从而改变经由第一调光区域反射的光线的强度,使得光线经过调光组件的第一调光区域反射至全反射镜,再经全反射镜反射至图像传感器的第一感光区域后,图像传感器能够得到曝光正常的图像,从而可以避免第一感光区域由于光线强度过高而造成过度曝光,进而可以实现高动态范围成像的要求,提高摄像头模组的成像质量。并且,采用本申请上述摄像头模组时,由于无需采用多重曝光HDR技术进行成像,因此使得摄像头模组拍摄图像时无需将多帧图像融合为一张图像,从而避免了多帧图像存在时间差而导致合成的图像存在运动模糊的问题,进而提高摄像头模组的成像质量。

以下将对本申请实施例涉及的术语进行说明。
1、摄像头模组
摄像头模组(Camera Compact Module,CCM)是获取视觉信息的重要工具,通常由镜头(Lens)、红外截止滤光片(IR Cut Filter)、图像传感器(Image Sensor)和音圈马达(Voice Coil Motor,VCM)构成。
CCM的工作流程如下:首先,音圈马达带动镜头实现对焦,将携带视觉信息的光线经由镜头聚焦,并经红外截止滤光片滤除人眼不可见的红外波段,成像到图像传感器。其次,图像传感器中的感光二极管将光信号转换成电信号,通过放大和模数转换形成数字信号矩阵,即RAW图像。最后,经过图像信号处理(Image Signal Process,ISP)模块处理后压缩存储在内存中。其中,RAW图像是图像传感器将捕捉到的光源信号转化为数字信号的原始数据。
2、图像传感器
图像传感器是一种将光学影像转换成电子信号的设备,是摄像头模组的核心器件。如今,图像传感器主要分为电荷耦合(Charge coupled device,CCD)元件和互补金属氧化物半导体(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor,CMOS)器件。图像传感器的核心作用是感光,即将探测的光信号转换成便于传输和处理的数字信号。
3、互补式金属氧化物半导体图像传感器
互补式金属氧化物半导体图像传感器(CMOS Image Sensor,CIS)是一类利用CMOS半导体的图像传感器。相较于CCD图像传感器,CMOS图像传感器的成本和功耗较低,读取方式更为灵活。CIS的工作机制如下:通过阵列排列的感光二极管,感知光信号并转换成电信号,通过放大电路和模数转换(Analog-to-Digital Conversion,ADC)电路,形成数字信号矩阵,即图像,再经过ISP模块处理形成图像数据,并将该图像数据压缩存储起来。
4、镜头
镜头(Lens)是摄像头模组中的另一个核心器件,其作用是将视场内的光线汇聚成像平面,它的光学素质直接影响到成像质量。从信息传输的角度来看,镜头的设计水平决定了到达像面的高频信息的传输情况,从而直接影响该模组的成像清晰度;而从能量传输的角度来看,镜头结构和透过率决定了到达CIS的光照强弱和分布情况,从而直接影响到CIS的信噪比表现。
5、动态范围
动态范围(Dynamic range,DR)是指图像传感器获取的一副图像中能够同时体现高光部分和阴影部分内容的能力,公式为:DR=20*log(Imax/Imin),其中,Imax是指图像传感器的最大不饱和电流,即,图像传感器刚刚饱和时候的电流,Imin是指图像传感器的底电流(blacklevel)。高动态范围成像(High Dynamic Range Imaging,HDR)技术是一种可以实现更大的动态范围的成像技术。
并且,动态范围还被定位为图像传感器的满阱容量(Full well capacity,FWC)和本底噪声之间的比值。满阱容量是指图像传感器的光电二极管的电容能够积累的最大电荷量。本底噪声又名读出噪声,其定义是读出电路产生的噪声,它不包括检测器中产生的噪声。在CMOS图像传感器中,读出电路包括像素内部的放大器。因此,通过增大满阱容量或者减小本底噪声能够提高图像传感器的动态范围,使图像传感器可以实现高动态范围成像的成像要求。可以理解的是,当图像传感器的动态范围较小时,通过图像传感器获取的图像会出现高亮区域或昏暗区域,高亮区域会由于曝光过度导致该区域亮度过大,昏暗区域会由于曝光不足导致细节丢失,影响图像传感器采集的图像的质量。
6、硅基液晶芯片
硅基液晶芯片(Liquid Crystal on Silicon,LCoS)是一种结合了液晶和硅芯片技术的光学元件。它可以将电信号通过微小的互连引线输入到半导体芯片上,驱动液晶阵列变换像素状态,从而改变反射光的强弱。
近年来,摄像头模组作为获取视觉信息、进行艺术创作的重要工具,成为了智能手机、平板电脑等终端设备的标配模块。由于移动终端具有携带方便和算力强大的优势,使得消费者对移动终端的成像质量和拍摄功能的要求越来越高。其中,移动终端对摄像头模组的动态范围的要求越来越高,但是,由于移动终端的内部空间受限,使得移动终端中摄像头模组的图像传感器的尺寸难以进一步增大,CIS的满阱容量受到极大限制,导致摄像头模组无法实现高动态范围成像的要求,影响摄像头模组的成像质量。因此,如何进一步提升摄像头模组的动态范围已经成为本领域技术人员亟待解决的问题。
通常,摄像设备在同一场景中对高亮区域和昏暗区域的成像表现是存在局限的,高亮区域可能因为曝光过度,成像后呈现白色,昏暗区域可能因为曝光不足,成像后呈现黑色,这种局限就是动态范围不足导致的。
传统设备为了实现高动态范围成像,通常采用多重曝光HDR技术,即通过不同曝光策略拍摄多帧图像,然后将多帧图像融合为一张高动态图像,因为融合后的高动态图像曝光正常,因此可以避免图像中的高亮区域过度曝光,昏暗区域曝光不足,从而可以实现高动态范围成像的要求。但是,由于采用多重曝光HDR技术拍摄图像时存在时间差,因此导致多帧图像融合形成的高动态图像中,可能会存在运动模糊的问题,影响摄像设备的成像质量。
另外,传统设备为了实现高动态范围成像,还可以采用基于双转换增益(Dual Conversion Gain,DCG)和数字重叠读出(Digital Overlap,DOL)等HDR技术,双转换增益技术是一种增加两个具有不同放大功率的光电转换放大电路的技术,数字重叠技术是一种对不同曝光时间的图像进行重叠读出,并进行融合的技术。采用上述技术可以实现高动态范围成像的要求,但是上述技术增加了图像传感器电路设计的复杂程度和制造成本。
本申请实施例为了解决上述问题,采用了一种摄像头模组,该摄像头模组包括第一透镜组件、全反射镜、调光组件、图像传感器以及反馈电路,第一透镜组件、全反射镜和调光组件依次设置,图像传感器与全反射镜相对设置;入射光线经第一透镜组件汇聚后经全反射镜进入调光组件后,调光组件将入射光线调制后反射至全反射镜,全反射镜将入射光线反射至图像传感器;图像传感器包括至少一个感光区域,调光组件包括至少一个调光区域,一个感光区域与一个调光区域对应;反馈电路分别与图像传感器和调光组件连接;反馈电路,用于基于图像传感器中第一感光区域采集的图像数据得到反馈信号,并传输至调光组件;调光组件,用于基于反馈信号调节调光组件中与第一感光区域对应的第一调光区域的反射率。
由于图像传感器可以采集摄像头模组所处环境的图像数据,反馈电路可以基于图像传感器中第一感光区域采集的图像数据得到反馈信号;调光组件可以基于反馈信号调节调光组件中与第一感光区域对应的第一调光区域的反射率。因此反馈电路可以基于第一感光区域的亮度值得到反馈信号并传输至调光组件,调光组件可以基于反馈信号减小或增强第一调光区域的反射率,从而改变经由第一调光区域反射的光线的强度,使得光线经过调光组件的第一调光区域反射至全反射镜,再经全反射镜反射至图像传感器的第一感光区域后,图像传感器能够得到曝光正常的图像,从而可以避免第一感光区域由于光线强度过高而造成过度曝光,进而可以实现高动态范围成像的要求,提高摄像头模组的成像质量。并且,采用本申请上述摄像头模组时,由于无需采用多重曝光HDR技术进行成像,因此使得摄像头模组拍摄图像时无需将多帧图像融合为一张图像,从而避免了多帧图像存在时间差而导致融合的图像存在运动模糊的问题,进而提高摄像头模组的成像质量。并且,本申请图像传感器的电路结构简单,制造成本较低。同时本申请摄像头模组可以可搭配不同型号的图像传感器使用,在主摄、长焦、广角、前置等模组上均可以实现高动态范围功能,可以实现全场景的HDR的拍照和录像功能,有利于聚量复用进而降低成本。
下面结合附图,通过具体的实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的摄像头模组100进行详细地说明。图1至图6示出了本申请实施例提供的一种摄像头模组100可能的结构示意图。
如图1所示,该摄像头模组100包括第一透镜组件1、全反射镜2、调光组件3、图像传感器4以及反馈电路5,第一透镜组件1、全反射镜2和调光组件3依次设置,图像传感器4与全反射镜2相对设置;入射光线经第一透镜组件1汇聚后经全反射镜2进入调光组件3后,调光组件3将入射光线调制后反射至全反射镜2,全反射镜2将入射光线反射至图像传感器4;图像传感器4包括至少一个感光区域41,调光组件3包括至少一个调光区域31,一个感光区域41与一个调光区域31对应;反馈电路5分别与图像传感器4和调光组件3连接;反馈电路5,用于基于图像传感器4中第一感光区域采集的图像数据得到反馈信号,并传输至调光组件3;调光组件3,用于基于反馈信号调节调光组件3中与第一感光区域对应的第一调光区域的反射率。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第一透镜组件1由多片非球面透镜组成,其可以等效为一个凸透镜,具有汇聚入射光线的作用,,便于光线经过第一透镜组件1和全反射镜2汇聚至调光组件3上。
在本申请的一些实施例中,光线经过第一透镜组件1和全反射镜2后可以实现第一次成像,即,可以生成中间像面。调光组件3可以设置于中间像面的位置。
在本申请的一些实施例中,全反射镜2又叫内全反射棱镜,是一种基于全反射原理制造的棱镜。本申请实施例中全反射镜2的作用是对经调光组件3调制后的光线进行全反射,使得全反射后的光线进入图像传感器4,避免光线反射时发生损耗,实现光线的无损传输。
在本申请的一些实施例中,通过控制经由全反射镜2反射的入射光线的入射角和出射光线的出射角之间的比例关系,可以确保经调光组件3调制后的光线经过全反射镜2时,能够全部反射至图像传感器4,避免光线反射时发生损耗。其中,由全反射原理及公式sinC=1/n,C为全反射角,n为棱镜的折射率,可知,通过控制经由全反射镜2反射的入射光线的入射角大于全反射角C,可以保证经调光组件3调制后的光线经过全反射镜2时,能够全部反射至图像传感器4。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图1所示,全反射镜2包括相对设置的第一镜体21和第二镜体22,第一镜体21与第一透镜组件1相对设置,第二镜体22具有反射面;经由第一透镜组件1的入射光线,依次经过第一镜体21和第二镜体22透射至调光组件3,经调光组件3调制后反射至第二镜体22的反射面,再经反射面反射至图像传感器4。
可以理解的是,当入射光线经第一透镜组件1透射至第一镜体21时,第一镜体21可以对光线起到矫正和汇聚作用,避免入射光线的传输方向发生偏差。当入射光线经调光组件3调制后反射至第二镜体22的反射面时,入射光线可以实现全反射并反射至图像传感器4,使得图像传感器4可以采集到摄像头模组100所处环境的光线信息,实现光线的无损传输。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第一镜体21上可以镀设透射膜,以提高第一镜体21的透射率,减少入射光线经由第一镜体21传输时的损耗。
在本申请的一些实施例中,摄像头模组100还包括驱动装置,驱动装置用于驱动调光组件3运动,以调节调光组件3的出射面与第一透镜组件1的光轴之间的夹角。
可以理解的是,通过驱动装置驱动调光组件3运动,以调节调光组件3的出射面与第一透镜组件1的光轴之间的夹角,从而可以调节经由全反射镜2反射的入射光线的入射角,使得经调光组件3调制后的入射光线从调光组件3的出射面射出并照射至第二镜体22的反射面时,可以确保经由全反射镜2反射的入射光线的入射角大于全反射角,进而保证经调光组件3调制后的光线经过全反射镜2时,能够全部反射至图像传感器4,实现光线的无损传输。
在本申请的一些实施例中,驱动装置可以为线性致动器,例如齿轮齿条机构,丝杆螺母机构等;驱动装置还可以为旋转机构等。本申请实施例在此处不作限定。
在本申请的一些实施例中,驱动装置可以驱动调光组件3在垂直于第一透镜组件1光轴的方向上的一侧相对于另一侧运动,以调节调光组件3的倾斜角度,进而调节调光组件3的出射面与第一透镜组件1的光轴之间的夹角,即,调节调光组件3的出射面和第二镜体22的反射面之间的夹角。
在本申请的一些实施例中,调光组件3包括两个或两个以上调光区域31,不同的调光区域31可以分别调节不同入射角度的入射光线。
在本申请的一些实施例中,图像传感器4包括两个或两个以上感光区域41,一个感光区域41与一个调光区域31对应,不同的调光区域31可以单独调节与其对应的感光区域41的亮度值,从而使调光组件3能够精确调节图像传感器4采集的图像中单个像素点的亮度值,避免图像中的部分区域光线强度过大造成曝光过度,进而实现高动态范围成像的要求,提高摄像头模组100的成像质量。
在本申请的一些实施例中,图像传感器4中第一感光区域采集的图像数据可以为第一感光区域的亮度值、位置信息等。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图2所示,图像传感器4包括像素阵列,像素阵列包括至少一个像素单元8;调光组件3包括调光阵列,调光阵列包括至少一个调光单元9;像素阵列中的每个像素单元8与调光阵列中的一个调光单元9对应。
可以理解的是,反馈电路5可以基于图像传感器4中目标像素单元8采集的图像数据生成反馈信号,并传输至调光组件3;调光组件3可以基于反馈信号调节调光组件3中目标调光单元9的反射率,从而可以调节经由该目标调光单元9反射的光线的强度,进而使经由该目标调光单元9反射的光线,通过全反射镜2反射进入目标像素单元8时,可以避免光线强度过大造成过度曝光,从而使调光组件3能够精确调节图像传感器4采集的图像中单个像素点的亮度值,进而使摄像头模组100可以实现高动态范围的要求。
在本申请的一些实施例中,像素阵列中的每个像素单元8与调光阵列中的一个调光单元9对应是指,像素阵列中的目标像素单元8与调光阵列中目标调光单元9对应,即入射光线经目标调光单元9反射至全反射镜2后,通过全反射镜2反射进入图像传感器4的目标像素单元8。
在本申请的一些实施例中,调光阵列包括两个或两个以上调光单元9,不同的调光单元9可以分别调节不同入射角度的光线。
在本申请的一些实施例中,图像传感器4包括两个或两个以上像素单元8,一个像素单元8与一个调光单元9对应,不同的调光单元9可以单独调节与其对应的像素单元8的亮度值,从而使调光组件3能够精确调节图像传感器4采集的图像中单个像素点的亮度值,避免图像中的部分区域光线强度过大造成曝光过度,进而实现高动态范围成像的要求,提高摄像头模组100的成像质量。
在本申请的实施例中,由于图像传感器4可以采集摄像头模组100所处环境的图像数据,反馈电路5可以基于图像传感器4中第一感光区域采集的图像数据得到反馈信号,并传输至调光组件3;调光组件3可以基于反馈信号调节调光组件3中与第一感光区域对应的第一调光区域的反射率。因此反馈电路5可以基于第一感光区域的亮度值得到反馈信号并传输至调光组件3,调光组件3可以基于反馈信号减小或增强第一调光区域的反射率,从而改变经由第一调光区域反射的光线的强度,使得光线经过调光组件3的第一调光区域反射至全反射镜2,再经全反射镜2反射至图像传感器4的第一感光区域后,图像传感器4能够得到曝光正常的图像,从而可以避免第一感光区域由于光线强度过高而造成过度曝光,进而可以实现高动态范围成像的要求,提高摄像头模组100的成像质量。并且,采用本申请上述摄像头模组100时,由于无需采用多重曝光HDR技术进行成像,因此使得摄像头模组100拍摄图像时无需将多帧图像融合为一张图像,从而避免了多帧图像存在时间差而导致合成的图像存在运动模糊的问题,进而提高摄像头模组100的成像质量。并且,本申请图像传感器4的电路结构简单,制造成本较低。同时本申请摄像头模组100可以可搭配不同型号的图像传感器4使用,在主摄、长焦、广角、前置等模组上均可以实现高动态范围功能,可以实现全场景的HDR的拍照和录像功能,有利于聚量复用进而降低成本。
在本申请的一些实施例中,当第一感光区域为高亮区域时,第一感光区域的亮度值较大,反馈电路5可以基于第一感光区域的亮度值生成反馈信号并传输至调光组件3,调光组件3可以基于反馈信号减小第一调光区域的反射率,从而改变经由第一调光区域反射的光线的强度,使得入射光线经过调光组件3的第一调光区域反射至全反射镜2,再经全反射镜2反射至图像传感器4的第一感光区域后,第一感光区域的亮度值对应降低,使得图像传感器4能够得到曝光正常的图像,避免第一感光区域为高亮区域时由于光线强度过高而造成过度曝光。
一种可能的示例中,如图3所示,调光单元9包括第一偏振件91、第二偏振件92和液晶模块93,液晶模块93包括微透镜931、电极层932、液晶层933、反射层934、电路层935和基板936;反馈信号包括第一电压信号;反馈电路5,具体用于为第一调光单元9的电极层932和电路层935之间施加第一电压信号,以调节第一调光单元9的反射率,第一调光单元9为第二区域中的调光单元9;进入调光组件3的入射光线,依次经过第一偏振件91、微透镜931和液晶层933透射至反射层934,经反射层934反射后依次经过液晶层933、微透镜931和第二偏振件92射出。
可以理解的是,反馈电路5通过为第一调光单元9的电极层932和电路层935之间施加第一电压信号,可以通过控制电极层932和电路层935之间的电压,以控制液晶层933内液晶分子的偏转,进而调节第一调光单元9的反射率。通过第一偏振件91、液晶层933和第二偏振件92可以调制光线的偏振态,进而调制光线的振幅,使得入射光线经过调光组件3时,调光组件3可以通过调制光线的振幅以调节入射光线的强度,避免入射光线的强度过大造成过度曝光,从而使摄像头模组100可以实现高动态范围成像的要求。同时,由于微透镜931具备良好的聚光能力,使得微透镜931可以汇聚更多的光线,进一步减少光线的损耗,提高摄像头模组100的成像质量。
在本申请的一些实施例中,基板936可以为印刷电路板(printed circuit board,PCB)。
在本申请的一些实施例中,电极层932可以为透明电极。如此,能够保证光线可以穿过电极层932进行传输,避免电极层932阻碍光线的传输。
在本申请的一些实施例中,电路层935可以为硅基电路层。
另一种可能的示例中,如图4所示,调光单元9包括第一偏振件91、第二偏振件92和液晶模块93,液晶模块93包括玻璃盖板937、电极层932、液晶层933、反射层934、电路层935和基板936;反馈信号包括第一电压信号;反馈电路5,具体用于为第一调光单元9的电极层932和电路层935之间施加第一电压信号,以调节第一调光单元9的反射率,第一调光单元9为第二区域中的调光单元9;进入调光组件3的入射光线,依次经过第一偏振件91、玻璃盖板937和液晶层933透射至反射层934,经反射层934反射后依次经过液晶层933、玻璃盖板937和第二偏振件92射出。
一种可能的示例中,电极层932设置于液晶层933的边缘位置。
可以理解的是,当电极层932设置于液晶层933的边缘位置时,由于靠近液晶层933的中间位置未设置电极层932,使得入射光线经过微透镜931进入液晶层933时,可以不经过电极层932,从而可以避免光线穿过透明电极时发生光能损耗,进而可以进一步减少光线经过调光组件3时的损耗,提高摄像头模组100的成像质量。同时,电极层932和电路层935之间可以形成驱动液晶层933内液晶分子运动的驱动电压,使得调光组件3可以通过调节电极层932和电路层935之间电压值的方式,调节调光组件3的反射率。
