Patent ID: 8243149

Claim:
A camera module for capturing an image of an object, the camera module comprising: a fixture comprising a top board and a pedestal extending downwardly from a peripheral portion of the top board, the pedestal comprising four interior periphery sidewalls connected one by one; a lens module comprising a lens, the lens module secured on the fixture; a movable frame; a plurality of holding wires connected between the frame and the fixture; an image sensor attached to the frame and spaced a distance from the lens module; a position sensor configured for detecting displacement of at least one of the lens module and the image sensor caused by shake; a plurality of magnets mounted on the frame, the plurality of magnets comprising a first magnet and a second magnet; and a plurality of magnetic field generators mounted on the fixture spatially corresponding to the respective magnets, the plurality of magnetic field generators comprising a first magnetic field generator corresponding to the first magnet and a second magnetic field generator corresponding to the second magnet, the first and second magnetic field generators being mounted on adjacent periphery sidewalls of the pedestal, respectively, each magnetic field generator configured for applying a magnetic field to the corresponding magnet, each of the magnetic field generators being electrifiable in response to displacement of at least one of the lens module and the image sensor, such that at least one of the magnets and the corresponding magnetic field generator cooperatively drive the lens module to move and compensate the displacement of the image sensor.
