Patent ID: 7991277

Claim:
A camera module for capturing an image of an object, the camera module comprising: a circuit board; an image sensor mounted on the circuit board; a lens module comprising a lens, the lens module held a distance from the circuit board by a plurality of holding wires fixed on the circuit board; a position sensor mounted on the circuit board and configured for detecting displacements of the lens module and the image sensor relative to the object; a plurality of electrical wire groups mounted on the lens module; and a plurality of magnetic field generators held a distance from the circuit board and arranged adjacent to the electrical wire groups, respectively, each magnetic field generator configured for applying a magnetic field to the corresponding electrical wire group, each of the electrical wire groups being electrifiable in response to detection by the position sensor of displacement of at least one of the lens module and the image sensor relative to the object such that at least one of the electrical wire groups and the corresponding magnetic field generator cooperatively drive the lens module to move and compensate the displacement of at least one of the lens module and the image sensor relative to the object such that an image of the object is captured at a central region of the image sensor.
