LENS DRIVING DEVICE, AUTOFOCUS CAMERA, AND CAMERA-EQUIPPED MOBILE TERMINAL
In a lens driving device of the present invention, each magnet is provide to face an outer circumferential face of a first coil, and face a second coil at a position at which the second coil is provided. A first spring member and a second spring member are configured by a plurality of six springs separated from each other, each coil wire end of the first coil and the two of the second coils being connected to a different spring, respectively, and when moving a lens support ( 5 ) in the optical axis direction, electric current is flowed through the first coil, and when moving the lens support in an X-Y direction that is orthogonal to the optical axis, a predetermined electric current is flowed through a predetermined one of the second coils.
1 . A lens driving device comprising:
a lens support for supporting a lens in an inner circumference thereof;
a fixed member provided at an outer circumferential side of the lens support;
a first spring member provided at one side of the lens support in an optical axis direction and supporting the lens support to be freely movable by mounting one end thereof to the fixed member, and mounting another end thereof to the lens support;
a second spring member provided at another side of the lens support in the optical axis direction and supporting the lens support to be freely movable by mounting one end thereof to the fixed member and mounting another end thereof to the lens support;
a first coil wound in a circumferential direction around the outer circumference of the lens support;
two second coils disposed with a 90 degree interval in the circumferential direction at the outer circumference of the lens support; and
a magnet provided at the fixed member, and provided to face an outer circumferential face of the first coil, the magnet being opposite the second coil at a position at which the second coil is provided,
wherein the first spring member and the second spring member are configured by a plurality of springs separated from each other, collectively having a total of six springs, each coil wire end of the first coil and the two of the second coils being connected to a different spring to allow an electric current to flow from the spring to each of the coils, respectively, and when moving the lens support in the optical axis direction, electric current is flowed through the first coil, and when moving the lens support in an X-Y direction that is orthogonal to the optical axis, a predetermined electric current is flowed through a predetermined one of the second coils.
2 . The lens driving device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the second coils includes two coils portions connected in series, each of the coil portions being provided at even an interval along the outer circumference of the lens support, and one of the second coils disposing the two coil portions at positions opposing each other.
3 . An autofocus camera, comprising:
the lens driving device according to claim 1 ; and
an imaging sensor provided at an image forming side of the lens of the lens support.
4 . An autofocus camera, comprising:
the lens driving device according to claim 2 ; and
an image sensor provided at an image forming side of the lens of the lens support.
5 . A camera-equipped mobile terminal comprising the autofocus camera according to claim 3 .
6 . A camera-equipped mobile terminal comprising the autofocus camera according to claim 4 .
