Abstract
An optical image stabilizer for a camera lens module, including a housing fixed to a case of the camera lens module, at least one piezoelectric actuator fixed to the housing, and an image sensor assembly housed in the housing. A driving tip of the piezoelectric actuator is curved in shape and makes a point contact with the image sensor assembly. If the piezoelectric actuator is driven, the image sensor assembly freely moves on a plane perpendicular to a photographing direction as the driving tip rubs against the image sensor assembly. This optical image stabilizer is simple in structure and easy to control, so it can be mounted in devices in which installation spaces are limited, like small digital cameras and mobile terminals.
