In the conventional AF lens actuating system the VCM actuator is used. However due to the actuating mechanism, the VCM actuator has disadvantage in miniaturizing which is essential to the actuator for the mobile device. Therefore novel type actuator is required and the one of the candidate is actuator using electoractive polymer (EAP). The EAP actuator is one of the attractive smart materials that is light and can be easily fabricated with low cost. This paper proposes an AF lens actuator for mobile phone using dielectric elastomer. The proposed actuator was designed and analyzed using finite element method. The designed actuator is verified by experiment and the position control algorithm is applied.

IPMC-EMIM (Ionic Polyer Metal Composites + 1-ethyl-3- methyl imidazolium trifluromethane sulfonate, EMIM-Tfo) is fabricated by substituting ionic liquid for water in Nafion film, which improves water sensitiveness of IPMC and guarantees uniform performance regardless of the surrounding environment. In this paper, we will introduce the design and analysis of AF Lens Actuator using IPMC-EMIM. We will briefly introduce the procedure of fabrication of IPMC-EMIM first, and proceed on to define the necessary variables, analyze performance by changing the value of the variables, make a designed AF Lens Actuator, and measure the performance of one of them.

Nowadays, subminiature lens actuators are being developed with the demand of AF lens for high performance of the mobile phone camera. Though the VCM is the current, development of new types of actuators are needed due to the structural problem and etc.. A new type of actuator for AF lens using Dielectric Elastomer Electroactive Polymer(EAP) is proposed in this paper, DE EAP has advantages in its weight, ease of fabrication and low power consumption. The mathematical model is obtained by Hamilton's principle and verified by finite element analysis and experiments. The controller is designed and evaluated by experiments.

In this paper, a slim type actuator is proposed rising a bimorph PZT and a circular rotor link. The bimorph contacts the circular rotor, and its displacement generates the rotational motion of the rotor. The rotor causes the linear motion of AF and zoom lens through gear and a motion guide. The proposed model enables the actuations of many lens groups for zoom module by extending the single lens model. The important design parameter is the contact force determined by the frictional coefficient and preload between the rotor and PZT bimorph. A prototype of the single actuator model is manufactured and experiments results using LDV and tachometer are compared to the theoretical and numerical predictions. Experiments show the linear bimorph actuator model meets the performance criteria of the lens actuation, and it can be applicable to various slim type actuators for AF and zoom motions in mobile cameras.

The recently-released camera modules assembled into high-end handsets generally carry auto focusing function. The resolution size of the camera modules is getting higher, and customers demand more precise and stable auto focusing function. When auto focusing function is getting performed, the camera modules applied to VCM usually have the problems, which are an error of lens focusing position and resolution deviation according to the shift of one's position. For this reason, I propose Hybrid VCM that has an improved structure for a stable work of actuator and higher resolution level.
