Abstract
Embodiments include a dynamic flex circuit for use in a camera with a moveable image sensor. The dynamic flex circuit includes fixed end portion(s), a moveable end portion, and an intermediate portion. In some embodiments, the fixed end portion may be connected to another flex circuit of the camera. The moveable end portion may be coupled with the moveable image sensor. The intermediate portion may be configured to allow the moveable end portion to move with the moveable image sensor. Some embodiments include a plurality of layers including a first conductive layer for routing the electrical signals, a second conductive layer, and an insulation layer positioned between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. In some instances, flexure arms extend along a first flex region and a second flex region for movement of the first flex region relative to the second flex region based on stiffness.
