Application: Zoom lens assembly soundless in operation, camera module having zoom lens assembly, and electronic device having camera module (Patent ID: US20230388634A1)

The patent filed by Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd describes a zoom lens assembly for periscope use that operates silently. The assembly includes a lens barrel with optical lenses and a focusing member between them. This focusing member consists of a bottom plate, cover plate, piezoelectric element, and variable transparent body. When an electric voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element, it deforms the variable transparent body, changing the focal length of the camera module.

The claims detail the specific components and configurations of the zoom lens assembly, including the arrangement of the piezoelectric element, conductive plate, and variable transparent body. The camera module described in the patent includes a sensor, circuit board, and the zoom lens assembly. Additional features such as a sleeve, conductive wiring, base, optical filter, reflecting member, and actuator are also part of the electronic device incorporating this camera module. The use of materials like Lead Zirconate Titanate and polydimethylsiloxane is specified for certain components, ensuring precise functionality of the zoom lens assembly.
