In this study, we present small-size, low-power, and high-speed electromagnetic flapping shutters for phone cameras. These shutters are composed of trapezoidal twin blades suspended by H-type torsional springs. The existing electrostatic rolling and flapping shutters need high input voltage, while the existing electromagnetic rotating shutters are too big to be used for phone cameras. To achieve low-power and high-speed angle motion for small-size electromagnetic flapping shutters for camera phones, low-inertia trapezoidal twin blades, each suspended by the low-stiffness H-type torsional springs, are employed. The electromagnetic flapping shutters used in this experimental study have steady-state rotational angles of $48.8{\pm}1.4^{\circ}$ and $64.4{\pm}1.0^{\circ}$ in the magentic fields of 0.15 T and 0.30 T, respectively, for an input current of 60 mA; the maximum overshoot angles are $80.2{\pm}3.5^{\circ}$ and $90.0{\pm}1.0^{\circ}$ in the magentic fields of 0.15 T and 0.30 T, respectively. The rising/settling times of the shutter while opening are 1.0 ms/20.0 ms, while those while closing are 1.7 ms/10.3 ms. Thus, we experimentally demonstrated that the smallsize (${\sim}8{\times}8{\times}2\;mm^3$), low-power (${\leq}60\;mA$), and high-speed (~1/370 s) electromagnetic flapping shutters are suitable for phone cameras.

최근 자동차 에어백 장치와 노트북 하드디스크에 사용되던 가속도센서가 크기가 작아지고 가격이 내려가면서 휴대폰 디지털 카메라, PMP, 네비게이션, 등 모바일 단말기 쪽으로 적용대상을 넓혀가고 있다. 휴대폰에 적용된 가속도센서는 주로 화면 자동회전, 셔터 손떨림 방지, 게임 등의 응용개발에 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 휴대형 통신기기에 필수적으로 장착되는 베이스밴드 프로세서를 이용하여 보다 정밀하고 전력 소모 또한 줄일 수 있는 건강, 의료 응용에 사용이 가능한 기술을 제시 한다.
