Patent attributes
A detecting apparatus includes a light source configured (i.e., structured and arranged) for irradiating the lens module with light, the light being brought into a focus by the lens module; a detecting device configured for measuring and recording a location of the focus; and a driving device configured for driving a barrel of the lens module to rotate relative to a holder of the lens module. The detecting apparatus is particularly configured such that, when the driving device drives the barrel of the lens module to rotate to two different angular locations, the light source irradiates the lens module with light, the lens module making the light be brought into two respective focuses at (i.e., relative to) the two different angular locations, and the detecting device measures a deviation distance between the two respective focuses. A method of detecting concentricity of a lens module is further provided.
