Abstract: Some embodiments include a method for measuring the position of a camera lens carrier moveable by an autofocus actuator. In some embodiments, the method includes generating a measurement of a magnetic field resulting at least in part from the one or more position sensor magnets. In some embodiments, the generating the measurement of the magnetic field includes measuring a magnetic field component created at least in part by the one or more position sensor magnets fixedly mounted to the camera lens carrier. In some embodiments, the camera lens carrier is moveably coupled to a substrate by the autofocus actuator to provide motion in a direction orthogonal to the substrate. In some embodiments, the generating the measurement of the magnetic field component includes measuring the magnetic field component at a sensor fixedly mounted to the substrate of the autofocus actuator.

Abstract: Various embodiments include an engaging arrangement that may be used to attach a lens barrel to a lens carrier of a camera. In some embodiments, the engaging arrangement may restrict movement of the lens barrel relative to the lens carrier along at least an optical axis. In various examples, the engaging arrangement may include one or more grooves and one or more protrusions. For instance, a groove may be defined by the lens barrel or the lens carrier, and a protrusion may extend from the lens barrel or the lens carrier to at least partially into the groove. In some cases, the engaging arrangement may include an adhesive positioned continuously 360 degrees around the engaging arrangement between the lens barrel and the lens carrier.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus for performing temperature-compensated measurement of a position of a lens assembly is attached to an autofocus actuator. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a light source for emitting light in a first direction. In some embodiments, a measurement sensor is affixed for receiving light reflected from a reflector. In some embodiments, a lateral shield is affixed in a position blocking detection by the measurement sensor of light having been emitted from light source but having not been reflected from the reflector. In some embodiments, a monitoring sensor is affixed in a position relative to the light source to receive light having been emitted from light source but having not been reflected from the reflector. In some embodiments, a transverse shield is affixed in a position blocking detection by the monitoring sensor of light reflected from the reflector.
