Camera With Sensor Shift Tilt Actuator Arrangement

A device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory storing program instructions executable by the one or more processors to control operations of a camera;
• and
• the camera, comprising:
• a lens group;
• an image sensor;
• one or more voice coil motor (VCM) actuators, comprising:
• fixed drive magnets;
• and
• drive coils;
• and
• a substrate coupled with the image sensor and with the drive coils, wherein each respective drive coil is positioned proximate a respective fixed drive magnet such that, when driven with electric current, one or more of the drive coils are capable of electromagnetically interacting with one or more of the fixed drive magnets to tilt the image sensor relative to the lens group, and wherein the one or more VCM actuators are capable of tilting the image sensor about multiple axes orthogonal to an optical axis of the camera.

A system, comprising:

• an image sensor;
• a substrate coupled with the image sensor;
• and
• drive coils, of one or more voice coil motor (VCM) actuators of a camera, coupled with the substrate, wherein each respective drive coil is positioned proximate a respective fixed drive magnet of the one or more VCM actuators such that, when driven with electric current, one or more of the drive coils are capable of electromagnetically interacting with one or more of the fixed drive magnets to tilt the image sensor, and wherein the one or more VCM actuators are capable of tilting the image sensor about multiple axes orthogonal to an optical axis of the camera.
