Development of die technology for holder and barrel dies is necessary according to minimization of lens assembly, image sensor, and connectors. In these cases, there are two technical problems arising from die design. One is determination of knock-out pin location in die set. Minimization of lens assembly size make it difficult to obtain ejecting space. The other is whether or not high-precision die technology is possible to reduce torque variation when holer and barrel products is assembled. In this study, multi-cavity die set was developed taking advantage of gear-driven ejecting method. In the developed technology, die manufacturing technology was guaranteed with a high-precision level.

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.

가상생산기술은 신제품의 개발, 새로운 장비 개발 및 새로운 제조시스템 개발에 유용한 도구이며, 특히 3D 시뮬레이션 기술은 가상생산의 핵심기술이다. 3D 시뮬레이션 기술은 기계적 시뮬레이션 기술과 이산사건 시뮬레이션 기술로 구분할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 휴대폰 카메라에 장착되는 렌즈모듈 조립을 생산하는 국내 회사의 사례를 소개한다. 이 회사에서는 렌즈모듈 조립공정을 현재 수작업으로 하고 있는데 자동화시스템을 개발하기로 결정하였으며 이를 위해 3D 시뮬레이션 기술을 도입하기로 하였다. 3D 시뮬레이션 기술은 시스템 개념설계단계에서부터 적용이 되었는데, 단위 장비 개발을 위해서는 $CATIA^{(R)}$와 $IGRIP^{(R)}$이 활용되었으며, 시스템 설계를 위해서는 이산사건 시뮬레이션 도구인 $QUEST^{(R)}$가 활용되었다. 논문의 목적은 새로운 자동화 설비의 기술적. 경제적 타당성을 검증하는 것이다. 개발결과 takt time 이 기존의 수작업에 비해 4분의 1 수준으로 감소되었으며, 이에 따른 작업자 인원도 대폭 감소되었다.

To effectively use these functions many kinds of human-phone interface are used such as touch, voice, and gesture. However, the most important touch interface cannot be used in case of hand disabled person or busy both hands. Although eye tracking is a superb human-computer interface method, it has not been applied to smartphones because of the small screen size, the frequently changing geometric position between the user's face and phone screen, and the low resolution of the frontal cameras. In this paper, a new eye tracking method is proposed to act as a smartphone user interface. To maximize eye image resolution, a zoom lens and three infrared LEDs are adopted. Our proposed method has following novelties. Firstly, appropriate camera specification and image resolution are analyzed in order to smartphone based gaze tracking method. Secondly, facial movement is allowable in case of one eye region is included in image. Thirdly, the proposed method can be operated in case of both landscape and portrait screen modes. Fourthly, only two LED reflective positions are used in order to calculate gaze position on the basis of 2D geometric relation between reflective rectangle and screen. Fifthly, a prototype mock-up design module is made in order to confirm feasibility for applying to actual smart-phone. Experimental results showed that the gaze estimation error was about 31 pixels at a screen resolution of $480{\times}800$ and the average hit ratio of a $5{\times}4$ icon grid was 94.6%.

본 연구에서는 3 메가픽셀, 2.5배 줌 카메라폰 모듈용 비구면 유리렌즈 개발을 목적으로 실험계획법(DOE)을 적용하여 성형용 초경 코어의 연삭가공조건을 구하고, 이를 활용하여 비구면 Glass렌즈 성형용 초경합금(WC) 코어를 초정밀 연삭가공을 수행하였다. 또한 가공된 성형용 코어의 가공면 위에 이온증착법으로 다이아몬드상 탄소(Diamond-Like Carbon; DLC) 코팅을 수행하여 DLC 코팅이 성형용 코어의 형상정도(PV)와 표면조도(Ra)에 미치는 영향을 평가하였으며, 비구면 Glass렌즈를 동일한 조건에서 성형하여 성형렌즈의 광학적 특성을 비교하여 성형용 코어면의 DLC 코팅 효과에 대하여 검토하였다.

Recently, aspheric glass lens molding core is fabricated with tungsten carbide(WC). If molding core is fabricated with silicon carbide(SiC), SiC coating process, which must be carried out before the Diamond-Like Carbon(DLC) coating can be eliminated and thus, manufacturing time and cost can be reduced. Diamond Like Carbon(DLC) is being researched in various fields because of its high hardness, high elasticity, high durability, and chemical stability and is used extensively in several industrial fields. Especially, the DLC coating of the molding core surface used in the fabrication of a glass lens is an important technical field, which affects the improvement of the demolding performance between the lens and molding core during the molding process and the molding core lifetime. Because SiC is a material of high hardness and high brittleness, it can crack or chip during grinding. It is, however, widely used in many fields because of its superior mechanical properties. In this paper, the grinding condition for silicon carbide(SiC) was developed under the grinding condition of tungsten carbide. A silicon carbide molding core was fabricated under this grinding condition. The measurement results of the SiC molding core were as follows: PV of 0.155 ${\mu}m$(apheric surface) and 0.094 ${\mu}m$(plane surface), Ra of 5.3 nm(aspheric surface) and 5.5 nm(plane surface).
