CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18348797 titled 'CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a camera module that includes a lens assembly, an image sensor, and an optical image stabilization (OIS) carrier. The OIS carrier is designed to rotate the lens assembly and the image sensor simultaneously around an axis perpendicular to the optical axis. The module also includes OIS coils, OIS magnets, and a frame with guide portions.
- The camera module includes a lens assembly, image sensor, and OIS carrier.
- The OIS carrier rotates the lens assembly and image sensor together.
- The rotation is based on an axis perpendicular to the optical axis.
- OIS coils and magnets are used to stabilize the rotation.
- The frame includes guide portions for smooth movement.
- Objects are placed between the frame and OIS carrier for rolling motion.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile phone cameras
- Digital cameras
- Surveillance cameras
- Action cameras
- Automotive cameras
Problems solved by this technology:
- Reduces image blur caused by camera shake or movement
- Improves image stabilization in handheld or moving camera scenarios
- Enhances image quality in low-light conditions
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image sharpness and clarity
- Enhanced low-light performance
- Better video recording quality
- Reduction in post-processing image stabilization techniques
Original Abstract Submitted
A camera module according an embodiment includes: a lens assembly, an image sensor, an optical image stabilization (OIS) carrier configured to simultaneously rotate the lens assembly and the image sensor based on an axis perpendicular to an optical axis, a housing, a first OIS coil disposed to a first side surface of the OIS carrier, a second OIS coil disposed to a second side surface of the OIS carrier, a first OIS magnet disposed to face the first OIS coil, a second OIS magnet disposed to face the second OIS coil, a frame including a first portion disposed between the third side surface of the OIS carrier opposite the first side surface and the housing and including at least one first guide portion, and a second portion extending from the first portion and disposed between the fourth side surface of the OIS carrier opposite the second side surface and the housing, at least one first object disposed between the first portion and the third side surface, and at least one second object disposed between the second portion and the housing. The at least one first object may be configured to roll along the at least one first guide portion based on the OIS carrier rotating.
