The present disclosure relates to an optical lens module, more particularly to an optical lens module applicable to an electronic device.
With the development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, the performance of image sensors has been improved, and the pixel size thereof has been scaled down. Therefore, featuring high image quality becomes one of the indispensable features of an optical system nowadays. Furthermore, due to the rapid changes in technology, electronic devices equipped with optical systems are trending towards multi-functionality for various applications, and therefore the functionality requirements for the optical systems have been increasing.
In recent years, compact camera modules have been applied in various fields, such as portable devices (e.g., smartphones, action cameras), augmented reality and virtual reality head-mounted devices or aerial cameras. Moreover, the hardware of the compact camera modules has been continuously upgraded, such as larger image sensors and imaging lenses with higher image quality. However, using larger image sensors can provide users with better image quality but may result in background blurring. A conventional adjustable aperture module can be used to adjust the degree of background blurring and control the amount of light entering the imaging lens.
Generally, the aperture module includes multiple rotatable blades which form a light passing aperture. However, the light passing aperture, formed by the blades, does not have substantially the same shape as an aperture for an optical system, resulting in a difference between the actual optical performance of the imaging lens and the theoretical optical performance of the same. Accordingly, how to improve the adjustable aperture to meet the requirement of high-end-specification electronic devices is an important topic in this field nowadays.
