Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional anti-shake motors in camera modules have poor correction effects, complex structures, high costs, low yields, high power consumption, and large sizes, failing to meet the stringent requirements of miniaturized and high-performance electronic devices.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) driver with a flat attachment surface, such as a steel or ceramic substrate, to move photosensitive elements and provide a stable attachment surface, reducing the overall height and improving yield and reliability of the anti-shake camera module.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a traditional anti-shake motor is used to correct offset and rotation, then the anti-shake function is achieved, but the structure becomes complicated and the size increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-shake functionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The traditional anti-shake motor is segmented into separate functional components: a driver for generating driving forces and a photosensitive element for detection, mounted on independent attachment surfaces. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized separately and simplifies the overall structure by eliminating the need for a complex integrated motor mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an attachment substrate as an intermediary component between the driver/photosensitive element and the circuit board. This substrate provides a stable mounting platform with precise attachment surfaces, enabling the driver and photosensitive element to function independently without requiring a complex integrated motor structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a traditional anti-shake motor is used, then the anti-shake function is achieved, but the cost increases and yield decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-shake functionVSAvoidproduction yield
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the anti-shake system into independent components (driver, photosensitive element, attachment substrate), each component can be manufactured separately using standardized processes, improving production yield and reducing costs compared to manufacturing complex integrated anti-shake motors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operational parameters from a mechanical motor system to a controlled driving force system applied to a photosensitive element. This parameter change enables the use of simpler, more cost-effective manufacturing processes with higher yields.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If a traditional anti-shake motor is used, then the anti-shake function is achieved, but the power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-shake functionVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical anti-shake motor system with a system that applies controlled driving forces to a photosensitive element. This substitution eliminates the need for continuous mechanical operation, reducing power consumption while maintaining anti-shake functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Device complexity

If the driver is directly attached to the circuit board, then the assembly is simplified, but the flatness and accuracy requirements cannot be met

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly complexityVSAvoidattachment flatness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The attachment substrate serves as an intermediary between the driver/photosensitive element and the circuit board. It provides precisely machined attachment surfaces with controlled flatness and accuracy, eliminating the need for direct attachment while maintaining assembly simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The attachment substrate is pre-prepared with precise attachment surfaces before the driver and photosensitive element are mounted. This preliminary action ensures that the required flatness and accuracy are achieved without complicating the subsequent assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

5Volume of moving object

If the module size is reduced for miniaturization, then the compactness is improved, but the anti-shake performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodule sizeVSAvoidanti-shake performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The compact design is achieved by segmenting the anti-shake system into small, independent components (driver, photosensitive element) that can be closely integrated on a compact attachment substrate, maintaining anti-shake performance while reducing overall module size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes the spatial arrangement of components in three-dimensional space, utilizing vertical stacking and compact positioning on the attachment substrate to maintain anti-shake functionality while minimizing the horizontal footprint and overall module volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
