Abstract

A lens driving apparatus comprises a lens portion having at least one lens ( 21 ), a first driving portion ( 39 ) to cause a movement of said lens portion relatively to a base portion ( 40 ) along a vertical direction of a light axis (L) of said lens portion, and a second driving portion ( 38 ) to cause a movement of said lens portion relatively to said base portion along said light axis.

Claims (28)

1. A lens driving apparatus comprising:

a lens portion having at least one lens,

a base portion on which an image sensor detecting light coming through said lens portion is fixed,

a first driving portion to cause a movement of said lens portion relatively to said base portion along a vertical direction of a light axis of said lens portion,

a second driving portion to cause a movement of said lens portion relatively to said base portion along said light axis,

a focus portion including said lens portion and said second driving portion,

at least three suspension wires connecting said focus portion and said base portion so as to allow a relative movement, wherein

a magnet of said focus portion faces a position sensor and a coil of said first driving portion fixed on said base portion in a light axis direction.

2. The lens driving apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

said position sensor is composed of X-direction position sensor and Y-direction position sensor,

said magnet of the focus portion includes X-direction blurring compensation magnet and Y-direction blurring compensation magnet,

said X-direction position sensor and Y-direction position sensor performs position detecting of said focus portion by detecting a magnetic field variation caused by the movement of said X-direction blurring compensation magnet and Y-direction blurring compensation magnet.

3. The lens driving apparatus as set forth in claim 2 , wherein

said coil of the first driving portion has X-direction blurring compensation coil and Y-direction blurring compensation coil,

said X-direction position sensor and said X-direction blurring compensation coil are arranged along a longitudinal direction of said X-direction blurring compensation magnet, and

said Y-direction position sensor and said Y-direction blurring compensation coil are arranged along a longitudinal direction of said Y-direction blurring compensation magnet.

4. A lens driving apparatus comprising:

a lens portion having at least one lens,

a base portion on which an image sensor detecting light coming through said lens portion is fixed,

a first driving portion to cause a movement of said lens portion relatively to said base portion along a vertical direction of a light axis of said lens portion,

a second driving portion to cause a movement of said lens portion relatively to said base portion along said light axis,

a focus portion including said lens portion and said second driving portion, and

four suspension wires connecting said focus portion and said base portion so as to allow a relative movement, wherein

said first driving portion can make said focus portion move to X-direction and Y-direction which are vertical direction to said light axis and mutually orthogonal,

a rigidity to said X-direction of said four suspension wires and a rigidity to said Y-direction of said four suspension wires are substantially equal, and

coils of the first driving portion are fixed on said base portion respectively to face four rod-like magnets of said focus portion, and said suspension wires are arranged at four corners of said base portion viewing from a direction of the light axis.

5. The lens driving apparatus as set forth in claim 4 , wherein

at least three suspension wires have a substantially circular shaped cross section respectively.
