The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and
software product for optical focusing and stabilizing using a hydraulic
component, called focusing stabilizer, in an image focusing module of the
electronic devices. This focusing stabilizer is capable of doing focus
adjustment and/or image stabilization. The focusing stabilizer can
comprise two optical elements (e.g., two plates or prisms, two lenses, or
one plate or prism and one lens) and a liquid between them. The
refractive index and thickness of the liquid changes a length of the
optical path from the object to the photosensitive surface such that the
system focus shift depends on a liquid lens thickness in the direction of
the optical axis. In addition, adjusting two optical components using a
predetermined criterion provides a stabilization of the focused image.
