Devices and methods for providing multi-aperture lens functionality

摘要

Devices and methods for providing multi-aperture lens functionality are provided. In one example, a device is provided that comprises a plurality of optical element assemblies configured to focus light. The device also includes a shared frame coupled to each of the plurality of optical element assemblies and configured to maintain the plurality of optical element assemblies in a fixed spatial arrangement. A position of the shared frame corresponds to a focus setting of the device. The device also comprises an actuator coupled to the shared frame and configured to cause a change in the position of the shared frame corresponding to a change in the focus setting of the device. The change in the position of the shared frame causes the plurality of optical element assemblies to be configured in the changed focus setting of the device.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
a plurality of optical element assemblies configured to focus light, wherein a first optical element assembly of the plurality of optical element assemblies includes a first plurality of optical elements configured in a first fixed spatial arrangement, and wherein a second optical element assembly of the plurality of optical element assemblies includes a second plurality of optical elements configured in a second fixed spatial arrangement, and wherein the first optical element assembly and the second optical element assembly provide two distinct focus distances due to the first fixed spatial arrangement and the second fixed spatial arrangement; a shared frame coupled to each of the plurality of optical element assemblies and configured to maintain the plurality of optical element assemblies in a fixed spatial arrangement, wherein a position of the shared frame corresponds to the plurality of optical element assemblies being configured in a focus setting of the device; and an actuator coupled to the shared frame and configured to cause a change in the position of the shared frame, wherein the change in the position of the shared frame corresponds to a change in the focus setting of the device and causes the plurality of optical element assemblies to move a same amount of distance and be configured in the changed focus setting of the device.
