Abstract

An image capturing module having multiple lenses, in which primary driving magnets of auto-focus module equipped in a first lens module and a second lens module will not cover an adjacent surface located between these two lens modules in the same time. A relatively smaller magnet is used to be the auxiliary driving magnet of optical image stabilization (OIS) module equipped in the first lens module and the second lens module. By using the aforementioned configuration of the primary and auxiliary driving magnets, interference of magnetic fields is minimized, and thus the distance between the first and second lens modules can be decreased, and the space of mobile phone having the image capturing module is saved. Moreover, such configuration can be used on the image capturing module having many lens modules.
