  • Patent number: 11785321
    Abstract: Provided is an imaging device that includes a first coil that moves a lens that collects light from a subject, in an optical axis direction of the light in accordance with a first magnetic field and that moves together with the lens, a second coil for moving the lens in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis in accordance with a second magnetic field, and a third coil for detecting the first magnetic field. The second coil and the third coil are arranged on a same substrate.

  • Patent number: 11330209
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an imaging device and an electronic device that enable highly accurate adjustment of a focus position and a camera shake correction position. The device includes: a lens that focuses subject light; an imaging element that photoelectrically converts the subject light from the lens; a circuit substrate including a circuit that externally outputs a signal from the imaging element; an actuator that drives the lens with a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) waveform in at least one of an X-axis direction, a Y-axis direction, or a Z-axis direction; and a detection unit that detects a magnetic field generated by a coil included in the actuator. The actuator drives the lens to move a focus, or drives the lens to reduce an influence of camera shake. The present technology can be applied to the imaging device.

  • Patent number: 11177300
    Abstract: A size reduction of an image pickup module by using resin molding, including a reduction in height, area, or the like thereof is achieved in an actual product. Provided is a module, including a substrate; a semiconductor component in which a first surface of a semiconductor device manufactured by chip-size packaging is provided and fixed along a plate-shaped translucent member, and a second surface of the semiconductor device is fixed with the second surface caused to face the substrate; a frame portion made of resin and formed on the substrate to surround the semiconductor component; and an interposition member which is made of resin and with which a gap between the semiconductor component and the substrate is filled. The interposition member is connected and fixed to the frame portion to be integrated therewith.
