Korean Patent Publication No. 2007-0065195

The present invention relates to a tilting OIS camera module that simultaneously implements an OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) and an AF (Auto Focus) function. It is difficult to shoot an accurate image if an unintentional hand movement occurs during shooting using a general camera module. There are camera tilting method and lens shift method for OIS for optical correction.

In the lens shift method, only the lens is moved in the horizontal direction with respect to the optical axis while the image sensor is maintained. The advantage of the lens shift method is that it is advantageous in downsizing because of its simple structure. However, since the shaking motion can not be completely corrected by linearly moving only the lens in the x- and y-axis directions, the lens shift method has a limitation in the shaking correction function.

On the other hand, the camera tilting method is a method of tilting the lens and the image sensor so that the optical axis is aligned with a virtual axis connecting the subject and the center of the camera module. That is, since the optical axis is always aligned with the imaginary axis as the optical axis is inclined according to the amount of shake, an image without shaking is captured in the image sensor. Therefore, the camera tilting type OIS camera module has an advantage that the camera shake correction function is very sophisticated.

In one embodiment, a base unit 100 is provided for rotatably supporting the intermediate unit 200 about the first axis and the second axis.

The bobbin unit 300 is equipped with a lens for photographing a subject. In the AF (Auto Focusing) operation, the bobbin unit 300 equipped with the lens is moved in the optical axis direction. An AF actuator is provided to move the bobbin unit 300 in the optical axis direction in the auto focusing operation.

In one embodiment, the AF coils 310a and 310b include a first AF coil 310a and a second AF coil 310b wound on the upper and lower sides of the bobbin unit 300, respectively. Current flows in the first AF coil 310a and the second AF coil 310b in different directions.

The magnetic force on the upper side of the magnet units 210a, 210a ', 210b and 210b' facing the second AF coil 310b is transmitted from the N pole direction located in the inner periphery of the middle unit 200 to the outer periphery of the middle unit 200 And the current of the second AF coil 310b is applied in the left hand screw direction as shown in FIG. 3, the upper side of the magnet portions 210a, 210a ', 210b, 210b' (310b) push up the bobbin unit (300) upward.

On the other hand, when the OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) operation is performed, the image sensor 500 remains in the reference position and only the bobbin unit 300 moves in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the optical axis. On the other hand, in the tilting camera module of the present invention, the bobbin unit 300 and the image sensor 500 are inclined together, and a straight line connecting the subject and the camera module (this is defined as a "subject axis" It is consistent though. Referring to FIG. 2, a first tilting angle Mx defined by a rotation angle about a first axis and a second tilting angle My defined by a rotation angle about a second axis are displayed. In the OIS operation, The optical axis and the subject axis coincide with each other while the unit 200 is rotated by the first tilting angle Mx and the second tilting angle My.

As described above, the present invention is a tilting method capable of realizing an OIS function that is more advanced than the lens shift method as a small-sized camera module that can be employed in a mobile device. Accordingly, the bobbin unit 300 and the image sensor 500 are tilted together in a state where they are integrally connected.

The intermediate unit 200 integrally connects the bobbin unit 300 and the image sensor 500 and the intermediate unit 200 to which the bobbin unit 300 and the image sensor 500 are mounted is connected to the first And is rotated by the tilting angle Mx and the second tilting angle My. When the intermediate unit 200 is rotated by the first tilting angle Mx and the second tilting angle My, the center of the lens mounted on the bobbin unit 300 and the center of the image sensor 500 are connected in a straight line The optical axis is inclined by the first tilting angle Mx and the second tilting angle My. As a result, the optical axis coincides with the subject axis.

For the sake of more detailed explanation, the initial state is referred to as the first position, and the state in which the camera-shake occurs from the initial state is referred to as the second position. A virtual straight line connecting the subject and the camera module at the first position is referred to as a first subject axis and a virtual straight line connecting the subject and the camera module at the second position is referred to as a second subject axis. When the subject is viewed as a center point, the second subject axis is inclined with respect to the first subject axis by a first tilting angle Mx and a second tilting angle My in space. Accordingly, when the hand-shake occurs, when the intermediate unit 200 is tilted by the first tilting angle Mx and the second tilting angle My, the optical axis connecting the center of the lens and the center of the image sensor 500 Is corrected to coincide with the second subject axis. Therefore, compared with the lens shift method, the tilting method realizes the accurate OIS function.

For this purpose, the bobbin unit 300 and the image sensor 500 must be rotated about the first axis or rotated about the second axis together in the tilting-type OIS operation.

In one embodiment, the bobbin unit 300 and the image sensor 500 are connected together to the intermediate unit 200, and the rotational driving force for each of the first and second axes is generated by the OIS actuator, Corresponds to rotation around the second hinge 140 and rotation about the second axis corresponds to rotation about the first hinge 150. [

In an embodiment, the first hinge 150 and the second hinge 140 are provided at positions mutually orthogonal to each other, and independently form the center of rotation of the intermediate unit 200.

In one embodiment, the second hinge 140 resiliently connects at least a portion of the base plate 190 and at least a portion of the second hinge plate 142 and extends from the base plate 190 to the second hinge plate 142 ), And a pair is arranged at regular intervals along a first axis perpendicular to the optical axis.

In one embodiment, the first hinge 150 resiliently connects at least a portion of the second hinge plate 142 and at least a portion of the first hinge plate 152, And a pair extending along the second axis perpendicular to the first axis are arranged at regular intervals.

In an embodiment, the intermediate unit 200 is connected to the upper side of the first hinge plate 152. In the intermediate unit 200, the bobbin unit 300 is disposed movably in the optical axis direction. Accordingly, the intermediate unit 200 or the bobbin unit 300 rotates about the first axis or rotates about the second axis on the basis of the base unit 100, thereby performing the shake correction function.

On the other hand, the bobbin unit 300 is linearly moved in the optical axis direction on the basis of the intermediate unit 200, thereby performing the auto focusing function.

In one embodiment, the first hinge 150 and the second hinge 140 are connected in series and are disposed in parallel with the first axis and the second axis orthogonal to each other, The first shaft rotational displacement and the second shaft rotational displacement can be independently controlled by dividing the bending deformation of the two hinges 140 independently of each other.

Thus, the first hinge 150 and the second hinge 140 are connected to each other in series. Therefore, the rotational displacement about the first hinge 150 and the rotational displacement about the second hinge 140 can be independently controlled, and the rotational displacements about the respective hinges are overlapped.

For example, if only the rotation angle around the first hinge 150 is controlled, only the second tilting angle My is controlled. If only the rotation angle around the second hinge 140 is controlled, the first tilting angle The second tilting angle My and the first tilting angle Mx are controlled by controlling the rotation angle about the first hinge 150 and the rotation angle about the second hinge 140 simultaneously Can be controlled simultaneously.
