ACTUATOR FOR CAMERA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18316598 titled 'ACTUATOR FOR CAMERA

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an actuator for a camera that includes a housing, a first carrier, a second carrier, and an image sensor.

  • The actuator is designed to move the image sensor in a specific way to improve camera functionality.
  • The first carrier is located inside the housing, while the second carrier is accommodated within the first carrier.
  • The image sensor is fixed to the second carrier.
  • The first and second carriers are capable of moving together in a direction parallel to the imaging plane of the image sensor.
  • Additionally, the second carrier can move relative to the first carrier in a direction perpendicular to the imaging plane of the image sensor.
  • This movement allows for precise adjustments and positioning of the image sensor, enhancing the camera's performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

An actuator for a camera includes a housing having an internal space; a first carrier accommodated in the housing; a second carrier accommodated in the first carrier; and an image sensor fixed relative to the second carrier, wherein the first carrier and the second carrier are configured to move together in a direction parallel to an imaging plane of the image sensor, and wherein the second carrier is configured to move relative to the first carrier in a direction perpendicular to the imaging plane of the image sensor.
