Abstract
A liquid lens chip, a driving apparatus and a driving method thereof are provided. The driving apparatus includes a carrier and a driver. The carrier is configured to carry a liquid lens and has a plurality of electrode pairs in contact with the liquid lens. The driver provides a periodic first driving signal to a selected electrode pair of the electrode pairs during a first time period according to a scan control signal to change a shape of the liquid lens. The driver further provides a periodic second driving signal to an opposite electrode pair opposite to the selected electrode pair during a second time period to recover the shape of the liquid lens which has been changed during the first time period.
