This invention describes a compact camera lens system designed for mobile phones. It uses five lenses arranged in two groups, with the first two lenses and the last three lenses each held together in their own barrels. A key feature is a variable opening, like an iris, that controls how much light enters the camera, and its position is precisely defined relative to the lenses, with specific distances between certain lenses.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of advanced optical image stabilization in mobile phones. This module's precise optical design and variable aperture could be a strong foundation for a compact system that performs exceptionally well when paired with modern OIS technology.
