发明名称 THERMAL COMPENSATION TO ADJUST CAMERA LENS FOCUS
摘要 An integrated image sensor and a camera lens apparatus comprising of an image sensor substrate, a camera lens mount, a lens barrel, a lens optical assembly and a collet. The camera lens mount comprises a first material, the lens barrel comprises a second material and the collet comprises a third material, the first, second and third materials change in length with a temperature change according to their respective coefficient of thermal expansion. The lens optical assembly comprises optical elements that cause a change in focal length with a temperature change according to a thermal optical coefficient. The first, second, and third material, the lengths of the camera lens mount, lens barrel, and collet, and the thermal optical coefficient of the lens optical assembly are such that the image plane is approximately stationary relative to the sensor surface in response to the temperature change.
