Abstract

An adjustable optical lens and camera module and manufacturing method thereof are provided, wherein the camera module includes an optical sensor and an adjustable optical lens. The adjustable optical lens, which is arranged in a photosensitive path of the optical sensor, includes an optical structural member and at least two lenses. Each of the lens is arranged in an internal space of the optical structural member along an axial direction of the optical structural member, wherein before packaging the adjustable optical lens and the optical sensor, at least one position of the lens in the internal space of the optical structural member is able to be adjusted, so that a central axis line of the adjustable optical lens and a central axis line of the optical sensor are coincided, so as to improve the image quality of the camera module.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A manufacturing method of a camera module, comprising the steps of:
(a) arranging an adjustable optical lens in a photosensitive path of an optical sensor of an optical device;
(b) preassembling at least an adjustable optical element in said adjustable optical lens to complete a preassembly of said camera module, wherein said adjustable optical element is a lens which is preassembled in said adjustable optical lens as a preassembled lens;
(c) capturing an imaging through said adjustable optical lens and said optical sensor and adjusting an assembling position of said preassembly lens to make said imaging of said camera module after adjusted meet a resolution requirement, wherein by adjusting said assembling position of said preassembled lens, a central axis line of said adjustable optical lens and a central axis line of said optical sensor are adjusted to coincide or be within an allowable range of deviation therebetween; and
(d) fixing a relative position between said preassembly lens and said optical sensor and packaging said adjustable optical lens and said optical device to form said camera module;
wherein the step (c) further comprises the steps of: (c1) capturing said imaging of said camera module after preassembled by shooting a testing chart; (c2) calculating calibration measurement for said adjustable optical element with a software based on said imaging of said camera module; and (c3) adjusting said assembling position of said adjustable optical element according to said calibration measurement, wherein, in the step (c), if said imaging of said camera module fails to meet said resolution requirement after said adjustable optical element is adjusted, the steps (c1) to (c3) are repeated until said imaging of said adjusted camera module meets said resolution requirement, wherein said camera module after preassembled is powered on and said imaging of said camera module is captured, wherein said capturing of said imaging of said camera module is based on shooting MTF testing chart with said camera module, wherein a MTF value is applied to represent an imaging quality of said camera module, wherein a greater MTF value indicates a higher imaging quality of said camera module, wherein when said imaging of said camera module is captured each time, said MTF value corresponding to said imaging needs to be calculated and said MTF value is checked to determine if said MTF value is greater than a standard, wherein if said MTF value is greater than or equal to said standard, said capturing is completed, and that if said MTF value is lower than said standard, another capturing is required.
