Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized image sensor device having high precision of moving an object to be moved. The image sensor device includes: a fixed unit; a movable unit including an image sensor; a beam unit fixed to the fixed unit and movably supporting the movable unit; a driving unit for applying a driving force for moving the movable unit; and a wire unit provided for the beam unit and electrically connecting the image sensor and an external circuit.
Claims21
An image sensor device comprising:
- a fixed unit;
- a movable unit including an image sensor;
- a beam unit fixed to said fixed unit and movably supporting said movable unit, said beam unit being configured as a spring structure having flexibility;
- a driving unit for applying a driving force for moving said movable unit;
- and
- a wire unit provided for said beam unit and electrically connecting said image sensor and an external circuit, said wire unit comprising a wire pattern disposed on said beam unit
- wherein said beam unit includes a U-shaped part extending from said movable unit to said fixed unit and having first and second long side parts, said wire pattern being disposed on the surface of said first and second long side parts.
