MEMS Drive uses its proprietary MEMS design and process to allow CMOS sensors to achieve swift and precise Sensorshift and is the first semiconductor company to implement 5-axis stabilization in smartphone camera. MEMSDrive’s newly developed piezo technology-enabled autofocus (AF) has also driven transformative technological development in the electronics industry.

With the tremendous growth of edge computing capabilities, MEMS Drive utilizes precise movement matching algorithms and artificial intelligence to derive multiple image-enhancing features besides just stabilization, such as super-resolution and improve identification capabilities. MEMS Sensorshift-driven image sensors overturn traditional voice coil motors (VCMs), and could be applied to mobile phones, sports cameras, wearable tech, smart city, autonomous vehicles, robotic vision and other products, bringing unlimited possibilities to the future of imaging systems.
The MEMS Drive development team is situated globally, with offices in Los Angeles, Nanjing, Taipei, Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
MEMS Drive Inc. has invested significant resources in R&D since its establishment, transforming technology development in various sectors of the electronics industry.
MEMSDrive’s optical image stabilizer (OIS), known as SensorShift, is the world’s smallest MEMS OIS actuator. The cutting-edge application of MEMS Technology provides a 5 axis Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) solution to improve clarity and achieve stable and precise image. All vibrations in pitch, yaw, roll, translational X and translational Y can be compensated with 1 single MEMS chip.
Another newly developed technology is the piezo technology-enabled autofocus (AF). The MEMSDrive autofocus (AF) actuator is a piezoelectric multi-morphic thin-film actuator that can move in the Z-axis and tip-tilt directions to achieve 3-axis compensation. The MEMS devices are designed to be based on standard Silicon fabrication processes and hence have good scalability and ease of handling, testing and packaging relatively.
There are multiple advantages of this sensor-based technology. It provides five-axis image stabilization (X, Y, roll, pitch and yaw) compared to two-axis counterpart on traditional lens-based systems. It also moves 3 times faster and 10 times more precisely by detecting vibrations of 0.4 micrometers (less than a pixel) compared to 3-5 micrometers on lens-based OIS. And finally, by not using a motor to move the lens around, it consumes up to 50 times less power and avoids heating problems that could affect the image's quality. The actuator successfully passed a 2 billion lifetime cycling test without any image degradation, demonstrating its durability and long lifespan.
MEMSDrive technology is transforming mobile phone, surveillance cameras and AR/VR camera systems. MEMS technology enhances the performance by providing quick and precise adjustments to the camera modules. This ensures precise focus and maximum visual clarity, significantly improving the overall user experience. The reduced power consumption of MEMS actuators also mitigates heating issues, enhancing device performance and longevity.
In automotive applications, continuous vibrations during driving can result in blurry images, and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can deform cameras, further degrading video quality. MEMS AF technology addresses this issue by providing an auto-focus (AF) solution that enhances image clarity and stability in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
