Patent attributes
An optical image stabilizer for correcting an image blurred by shaking of a hand while an object is photographed using a mobile communication terminal is provided. The optical image stabilizer includes an image sensor. A lens assembly is mounted on an optical axis of the image sensor. A housing contains the lens assembly. A rotator provided between the housing and the lens assembly surrounding the lens assembly rotates the lens assembly around a first axis perpendicular to the optical axis and a second axis perpendicular to the first axis in engagement with the lens assembly. A driving member rotates the rotator around the first and second axes. The optical image stabilizer can be mounted in a miniaturized lightweight photographing device, so that a clear image can be captured even during vibration of a photographing device caused by hand-shaking.
