PR Newswire release is titled "STMicroelectronics Shows Unique Metal Alloys Improving Cameraphone Pictures and Other Innovative Solutions for Comprehensive Mobile Experience".
ST reveals a new approach to OIS in mobile phones, more specifically, a new mechanical actuator that compensates for slight movements of the user's hand. The new technology uses actuators made of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) that are able to contract upon heating. Small size and low power requirements allow SMA "smart materials" to be used in actuators that are dramatically more compact, lighter, more powerful and quiet that will replace alternative technologies based on Voice-Coil Motors and piezoelectric elements that cannot meet the size constraints of mobile phones.
