ABSTRACT:
The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software product for optical focusing and stabilizing using a hydraulic component, called focusing stabilizer, in an image focusing module of the electronic devices. This focusing stabilizer is capable of doing focus adjustment and/or image stabilization. The focusing stabilizer can comprise two optical elements (e.g., two plates or prisms, two lenses, or one plate or prism and one lens) and a liquid between them. The refractive index and thickness of the liquid changes a length of the optical path from the object to the photosensitive surface such that the system focus shift depends on a liquid lens thickness in the direction of the optical axis. In addition, adjusting two optical components using a predetermined criterion provides a stabilization of the focused image.
