Abstract:
Dual-optical module autofocus (AF) or AF plus optical image stabilization (OIS) cameras with reduced footprint and reduced mutual magnetic interference. Some AF+OIS cameras may include a single AF actuation assembly that moves two lens barrels in unison. Some AF cameras or AF+OIS cameras may have two AF actuation sub-assemblies and associated magnets for independent AF operation of each lens barrel, the magnets shared in a manner that cancels magnetic influences of one AF actuation sub-assembly on the other AF actuation sub-assembly, thereby allowing the two lens barrels to be positioned in close proximity, saving parts and fabrication costs.

Claim (Index 1):
An imaging device comprising:\n a) a first lens module having a first optical axis; b) a second lens module having a second optical axis parallel to the first optical axis; c) a lens carrier housing the first and second lens modules, the lens carrier having an external carrier surface with a coil wound around at least part of the external carrier surface; d) a plurality of magnets surrounding the coil; and e) a housing frame for housing the plurality of magnets, the housing frame hung by springs above a board having attached thereto a plurality of optical image stabilization (OIS) coils, each OIS coil associated with at least one of the magnets,\n wherein the housing frame is movable relative to the board in a plane substantially perpendicular to both optical axes as a result of magnetic forces developing between at least some of the coils and their associated magnets when a current is passed in respective OIS coils, and wherein the first and second lens modules are configured to undergo simultaneous auto-focusing operations.
