Abstract

The invention relates to an optical assembly for use with compact camera modules. The optical assembly comprises a transparent optical element, an optical reflection surface arranged to deflect a light through the optical element, a transparent elastic non-fluid body and an actuator system comprising one or more actuators and an actuator-component arranged to undergo bending and/or displacement by the one or more actuators. The non-fluid body may be sandwiched between the actuator-component and the optical element so that the shape or orientation of the actuator component and the non-fluid body can be changed by actuation of the actuators to provide adjustable optical power or beam deflection.
