Image stabilization device for micro camera module of handheld device and method for stabilizing micro camera module of handheld device

摘要

A method and a hand-held device for stabilizing an image captured by an optical lens of a micro camera integral with the hand-held device, which may, for example, be a mobile phone. Motion sensors sense motion of the device and are used to cause movement of the micro camera to substantially compensate for the sensed movement so as to maintain a steady, focused image to be displayed by a display on the hand-held device or elsewhere, such as a remote display. The micro camera is moved by one or more motion actuators which move the camera in a horizontal plane substantially perpendicular to an axis of the lens of the camera and/or move the camera so as to pivot the lens axis.
