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 28):
A camera module, comprising:\n an image sensor; one or more magnets mounted to a support structure; 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 one or more coils located between the one or more magnets and the one or more sensors in the direction of the optical axis; wherein:\n 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 the image sensor, and \n 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.
