Abstract
An aperture module includes a reference plate, including a protruded pivot pin; a first-stage blade unit including a pair of first blades forming a first-diameter aperture having a diameter smaller than that of the central opening when pivoted about the pivot pin; a second-stage blade unit including a pair of second blades, wherein the second-stage blade unit is disposed on a second planar surface different from a first planar surface of the first-stage blade unit, and the pair of second blades forms a second-diameter aperture having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the first-diameter aperture when pivoted about the pivot pin; and an aperture driver including a driving pin configured to insert into the guide slot, the first blade slot, and the second blade slot, and move along the guide slot. A curvature of the first blade slot and a curvature of the second blade slot form different angles.
