Abstract

See full text

A camera module includes an actuator that is coupled to one or more lenses of an optical train configured to move relative to an image sensor to provide alignment, zoom and/or autofocus control. The actuator is configured to position one or more, e.g., three, lenses of the optical train by applying one or more bias voltages respectively between one or more pairs of actuator components. A processor uses measured capacitances of the pairs of actuator components and/or the bias voltages thereof to calculate an acceleration or force acting on the camera module and to provide information for the actuator to align the optical train along the optical path in accordance with the information.
