Abstract
A shock and/or vibration damped optical lens assembly for electronic equipment. The optical lens assembly of the present invention is particularly useful for electronic equipment such as mobile phones, PDA's, etc. incorporating cameras. By providing a shock and/or vibration damped optical lens assembly allows such devices to more reliably implement auto-focusing and/or zoom lens packages. Accordingly, the present invention facilitates the use of more advanced lens packages in hand-held electronic equipment such as cell phones, PDA's etc.
