CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18463662 titled 'CAMERA MODULE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a camera module that includes a camera housing, an image sensor, and a lens assembly. The lens assembly is aligned with the image sensor and can move in different directions. The camera module also includes a first magnet and a first coil that are positioned to interact with each other.
- The camera module includes a camera housing, image sensor, and lens assembly.
- The lens assembly can move in different directions.
- A first magnet is placed on a side surface of a holder that is coupled to the lens assembly.
- A first coil is positioned inside the camera housing and overlaps with the first magnet.
- A second coil is also positioned inside the camera housing.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile phones and smartphones
- Digital cameras
- Surveillance systems
- Automotive cameras
- Drones and unmanned aerial vehicles
Problems solved by this technology:
- Allows for precise movement and positioning of the lens assembly
- Enables autofocus and image stabilization features
- Reduces the size and complexity of the camera module
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality and sharpness
- Enhanced camera performance and functionality
- Compact and lightweight camera modules
- Cost-effective manufacturing process
Original Abstract Submitted
A camera module is provided. The camera module includes a camera housing including an image sensor, a lens assembly including a lens aligned with the image sensor in a direction of an optical axis, a first holder coupled to the lens assembly and configured to move together with the lens assembly in a first direction perpendicular to the optical axis and a second direction perpendicular to each of the optical axis and the first direction, a first magnet being disposed on a first side surface of the first holder, a first coil disposed on a first inner side surface of the camera housing, the first coil being disposed to at least partially overlap each of an N-pole region and an S-pole region of the first magnet when viewed in the second direction, and a second coil disposed on the first inner side surface of the camera housing.
