The Secret Behind the Lens: Huawei's New Patent

In retrospect, since the birth of the first mobile phone with lens, it has made a qualitative leap in mobile phone lens in just over a decade. From improving lens pixels, digital zoom, optical anti shake, and even HDR technology, these have been the standard configurations on smart phones, not to mention dual and triple lenses.

Now, after the field of artificial intelligence has occupied the smartphone market, even the photography function is AI intelligent technology, which makes the benchmarking of smartphone camera technology directly point to SLR. Due to the fierce competition in the market, smartphone manufacturers will naturally not let go of the great changes brought by each technological innovation.

In recent years, Huawei manufacturers have gradually developed into the high-end mobile phone market. They can compete with Samsung and apple in terms of mobile phone quality, appearance and performance, especially the high-end flagship. They have to mention its Leica lens. As a world-class lens brand, Leica lens has a high position in the hearts of photography enthusiasts until Huawei began to use Leica lens, It is known to the world.

1. Huawei relied on Leica in the early stage of mobile phone lens evolution

Among many domestic android machines, Huawei is one of the best brands. It not only developed and created its own processor "Kirin chip", but also launched new models with good performance and quality, which can be said to have established a good reputation for itself, especially in the domestic market.

Users who know some camera brands know that Leica is very famous. In terms of camera lens, it can be said that no one can beat it. It is the most advanced lens. Even if some of its older lenses are well preserved, there is no problem selling tens of thousands of pieces. Leica is a myth, Enjoy a high status.

Leica can do its best in optical effect. It has played to the extreme in terms of imaging and color, which has really promoted its brand. It can be said that it is a real high-quality brand, and Huawei chooses their lenses. The two are a combination of strength and strength, and when combined, they are a very powerful model.

Comments: in fact, Huawei does not use a real Leica lens. In other words, some aspects of Huawei's lens, such as photographing mode and tone filter, are completed after Leica adjustment. However, just like this, Huawei's lens has also done very well.

2. Huawei lens has evolved again

The first mobile phone equipped with dual lens was launched by HTC. Its sole purpose was to provide depth of field and focusing effect. The first stage of the development of dual lens mobile phone lasted until mid-2016. At that time, many mobile phone manufacturers tried to adopt dual lens technology on their flagship phones, using different settings, such as depth of field, RGB monochrome, wide-angle, ultra wide-angle and so on.

However, while dual lens smart phones are becoming more and more popular, Huawei's latest P20 Pro reveals the advent of the era of three camera mobile phones. The three lens solution will not only increase the BOM cost of the lens system, but also occupy more floors in the internal space of the body because of other technologies that may be integrated into the mobile phone.

Three cameras allow users to take photos in relatively dark scenes, and the zoom function will not be discounted. For example, shooting pictures on the stage at the concert site is a good example. This kind of scene not only needs zoom, but also needs to support low light shooting.

Comments: the success of dual photography will naturally make people think of the scheme of using more cameras. Huawei manufacturers are the first to try this scheme. Through three lens vision, we can obtain the depth of field of the shooting object and realize the effect of large aperture. This combination is essentially to realize the changeable combination of dual photography.

3. Another black technology debut Huawei liquid lens

Huawei's innovation and R & D strength are obvious in the industry. This time, Huawei has developed another black technology, which is "liquid camera technology". Does it sound very tall? However, this is a new lens technology patent recently disclosed by Huawei, so as to further improve the camera shooting ability.

It can be seen from the patent map published by Huawei that the manufacturer will add a liquid fixed lens group between the traditional two lenses. We look carefully at the middle part of the picture. This can change the focal length by changing the voltage on both sides of the liquid, making the imaging clearer and lower distortion rate.

In addition, the emergence of liquid camera can also change the defects of existing camera technology. For example, the protruding camera of mobile phone is easy to cause wear and affect the appearance. Of course, the protruding camera has higher requirements for the mold manufacturing process of mobile phone shell, and the liquid camera head solves three pain points at one time.

Comments: as a local brand, Huawei successfully entered the high pixel mobile phone market, marking that domestic manufacturers began to rank among the manufacturers of high pixel lens. At this time, Huawei saw the development potential of lens in the future, actively promoted the localization of important parts, and brought more reliable, diverse and high-quality choices to the highly competitive terminal manufacturers.
