Patent ID: 8487989

Claim:
An image stabilization and capture sensor, comprising: a plurality of optoelectronic image capturing cells ( 110 ; 210 ) arranged in a matrix array; a carrier substrate ( 101 , 102 ; 201 ) defining a sensor plane and being adapted for supporting, and electrically contacting, the optoelectronic image capturing cells ( 110 ; 210 ) and for connecting the image stabilization and capture sensor to further elements; and at least one moving means ( 120 ; 220 ) for moving the plurality optoelectronic image capturing cells ( 110 ; 210 ) relative to the carrier substrate ( 101 , 102 ; 201 ); wherein at least one of the plurality of optoelectronic image capturing cells ( 110 ) is supported separately from other optoelectronic image capturing cells ( 110 ) by the at least one moving means ( 120 ) so that the at least one of the plurality of optoelectronic image capturing cells ( 110 ) can move relative to the carrier substrate ( 101 , 102 ) and relative to another of the plurality of optoelectronic image capturing cells ( 11 ).
