Abstract:
Some embodiments provide an apparatus for controlling the motion of a camera component. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes an actuator module. The actuator module includes a plurality of magnets. Each magnet of the plurality of magnets is poled with magnetic domains substantially aligned in the same direction throughout each magnet. The apparatus further includes a coil rigidly disposed around a lens. Each magnet of the plurality of magnets contributes to the forces to adjust focus of the lens based on Lorentz forces generated from the coil.

Claim (Index 35):
A multifunction device, comprising:\n a central processing unit; a memory coupled to the central processing unit; a camera module coupled to the central processing unit, wherein the memory stores program instructions executable by the central processing unit to control operation of the camera module, wherein the camera module comprises:\n one or more magnets mounted to a support structure, \n one or more sensors located beneath the one or more magnets in a direction of an optical axis defined by a lens coupled to the support structure, and \n one or more coils located between the one or more magnets and the one or more sensors in the direction of the optical axis, \n wherein each magnet of the one or more magnets is configured to interact with the one or more coils when carrying current to adjust a position of the lens relative to an image sensor; \n wherein the one or more sensors are configured to sense changes in a magnetic field due to movement of the lens relative to the image sensor.
