IMAGE SENSOR STABILIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18296904 titled 'IMAGE SENSOR STABILIZATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image sensor stabilizer that consists of a lower frame, an upper frame supporting an image sensor, three actuators, and a guide ball. The first and second actuators drive the upper frame to move in different directions relative to the lower frame, while the third actuator drives the upper frame to move in a second direction. The first and second actuators are spaced apart from each other in the second direction. This image sensor stabilizer can be used in a camera module.

  • The image sensor stabilizer includes a lower frame and an upper frame that supports an image sensor.
  • There are three actuators in the stabilizer: a first actuator, a second actuator, and a third actuator.
  • The first and second actuators drive the upper frame to move in a first direction relative to the lower frame.
  • The third actuator drives the upper frame to move in a second direction relative to the lower frame.
  • A guide ball is present between the lower frame and the upper frame.
  • The first and second actuators are spaced apart from each other in the second direction.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Camera modules in smartphones and other mobile devices.
  • Digital cameras and camcorders.
  • Surveillance cameras.
  • Drones and other aerial photography equipment.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Image stabilization: The stabilizer helps reduce blurring and shaking in captured images or videos.
  • Improved image quality: By stabilizing the image sensor, the technology allows for sharper and clearer images.
  • Enhanced user experience: Users can capture steady and smooth footage without the need for additional stabilization equipment.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Compact design: The image sensor stabilizer can be integrated into small camera modules without adding significant bulk.
  • Cost-effective: By incorporating the stabilizer into the camera module itself, the need for external stabilization equipment is eliminated.
  • Improved image quality: The stabilizer helps eliminate motion blur and camera shake, resulting in better image and video quality.
  • User-friendly: Users can capture stable footage without the need for specialized skills or additional equipment.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image sensor stabilizer includes a lower frame, an upper frame on the lower frame and supporting an image sensor, a first actuator and a second actuator between the lower frame and the upper frame and is configured to drive the upper frame to move in a first direction relative to the lower frame, a third actuator between the lower frame and the upper frame and configured to drive the upper frame to move in a second direction relative to the lower frame, and a guide ball between the lower frame and the upper frame. The first actuator and the second actuator are spaced apart from each other in the second direction. The image sensor stabilizer can be used in a camera module.
