최근 출시되는 고사양의 Hand-phone 적용되어진 Camera Module은 대부분 Auto Focusing기능이 탑재되어 있으며 Camera Module의 화소수가 높아지면서 좀 더 정밀하고 안정적인 AF구동제품이 소비자에 의해 요구되고 있다. 본 논문은 현재 출시되고 있는 Camera Module적용 VCM(Actuator)의 문제점인 Auto Focusing시 Lens 초점위치 및 Module 자세에 따른 해상도편차 발생으로 해상도 보증 및 안정된 Actuator 구동을 위해 개선된 구조의 Hybrid VCM을 제안한다.

Recently, the growing market demand for small and slim mobile phone cameras requires the size reduction of the camera module. In this paper, an auto-focusing actuator for camera phones is proposed by converting the rotational motion by a rotary VCM actuator into the linear motion using a novel cam structure. This new concept for auto-focusing module enables the reduction of the module thickness and low power consumption. This paper presents the theoretical analysis and optimal design for VCM actuator, cam structure and preload spring. Finally, the experimental results using a prototype with the size of $9.9{\times}9.9{\times}5.9\;mm^3$ are compared with the theoretical predictions.

Smart-phone in the recently released high-end applied to the camera module is equipped with the most features auto focusing camera module. Also, auto focusing camera module is divided into voice coil motor, encoder, and piezo according to type of motion mechanism. Auto focusing camera module is composed of voice coil motor (VCM) as an actuator and leaf spring as a guide and suspension. VCM actuator is made of magnet, yoke as a metal, and coil as a copper wire. Recently, the assembly as yoke and magnet is made by human resources. These process has a long process time and it is difficult to secure quality. Also, These process is not economical in cost, and productivity is reduced. Therefore, an automatic assembly as yoke and magnet is needed in the present process. In this paper, we have developed an automatic assembly device that can automatically assemble yoke and magnet, and performed verifying performance. Therefore, by using the developed automatic assembly device, it is possible to increase the productivity and reduce the production cost.

This paper proposes an auto-focusing method for production of compact camera module (CCM). The CCM test handlers are mainly used in the final CCM production stage to test and adjust the lens focus of CCMs. To improve the productivity of CCM test handlers, we propose the auto-focusing method adjusting the lens focus efficiently. The max-min-difference (MMD) method is newly developed to compute the focus value efficiently, and two-stage searching method is also developed to find the best focus position quickly. Experimental results are presented to verify the usefulness of proposed method.

We propose a new-focusing method for test handlers of compact camera module (CCM), The MMD (max-min difference) method is applied to calculate the focus value quickly considering the noisy output of CCM. Also, the fuzzy search method is applied to find the maximum focus value effectively. We design a fuzzy processor to control the lens position by focus values and brightness values, which improves the focusing performance in the sense of speed and processor memory. The proposed method is implemented by computer program and installed at the CCM test handler machines. The simulation results are presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

Smart phone에 실장되는 소형 카메라 모듈의 경우, 기존 Handset과 대비하여 Non AF 상태에서의 해상도 수준의 향상에 대한 소비자의 요구가 커지고 있으며, 높은 정밀도와 동일한 반복성 및 빠른 Auto focusing speed를 요구 받고 있다. 이에 따라 기존의 Actuator mechanical position에 기반한 algorithm에서 문제가 되었던 preview(non-AF)의 안정적 해상도 보증 문제 및 속도 개선 한계 문제를 본 논문에서 개선된 algorithm으로 제안하게 되었다.

This paper presents the design and fabrication results of a voice coil type actuator for auto focusing(AF) functional module of mobile phone cameras. Axisymmetric FEM and 3-dimensional FEM is used to analyze and design the actuator, and the performance is verified by fabrication and evaluation of it. The size of the fabricated 2M pixel AF module is $10.5{\times}10.5{\times}7.9mm$, and the operating performance was satisfactory.

Laser micromachining has increasingly been adopted in various advanced industries where the high-precision machining of large-area, high-density and multi-layered components is in a strong demand. To effectively meet the requirements, the laser micromachining process must be carefully monitored. In order to facilitate the development of a new laser micromachining process and/or a new system, we have fabricated a UV laser micromachining platform that is equipped with optical modules for monitoring the process online. They include a laser power stabilizing module, a module for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, and an auto-focusing module.
