ABSTRACT:
A focusing module includes a casing, at least one fixed magnetic element, a membrane, a movable magnetic element, and a lens. The fixed magnetic element is fixed in the casing for generating a first magnetic field. The membrane is received and retained in an upper section of the casing. The membrane defines a central hole. The movable magnetic element is attached to the membrane, surrounding the central hole of the membrane. The movable magnetic element receives a control signal and in response thereto generates a second magnetic field, which interacts with the first magnetic field of the fixed magnetic field to induce a force acting on the membrane to cause elastic deformation of the membrane. The lens is fixed to the central hole of the membrane whereby the lens is movable with respect to the casing due to the elastic deformation of the membrane caused by magnetic interaction between the first and second magnetic fields of the fixed and movable magnetic elements so as to effect focusing operation.
