Abstract

A lens driving device is provided, including a frame, a lens holder, a spring sheet, and at least one damping element. The lens holder is movably disposed in the frame. The spring sheet has an outer periphery portion combined with the frame, an inner periphery portion combined with the lens holder, and an arm portion connected between the outer periphery portion and the inner periphery portion. The damping element is connected between the arm portion of the spring sheet and at least one of the frame and the lens holder.

Claims (15)

1. A lens driving device, comprising:

a frame;

a lens holder movably disposed in the frame;

a spring sheet having an outer periphery portion, an inner periphery portion, and at least one arm portion, wherein the outer periphery portion is connected to the frame, the inner periphery portion is connected to the lens holder, the arm portion is provided between the outer periphery portion and the inner periphery portion and directly connected to the outer periphery portion and the inner periphery portion, so that the outer periphery portion and the inner periphery portion are directly connected by the arm portion; and

at least one damping element arranged in a space between the arm portion of the spring sheet and the frame or the lens holder, the damping element being directly connected and directly adhered to the arm portion and the frame or the lens holder.

2. The lens driving device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the arm portion of the spring sheet forms at least one protrusion that extends toward the frame, and the frame forms at least one recess corresponding to the protrusion, and wherein the damping element is directly connected to the protrusion and the recess.

3. The lens driving device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the arm portion of the spring sheet forms at least one protrusion that extends toward the lens holder, and the lens holder forms at least one recess corresponding to the protrusion, and wherein the damping element is directly connected to the protrusion and the recess.

4. The lens driving device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame forms at least one connected portion that protrudes from an inner side thereof, and the damping element is directly connected to the arm portion of the spring sheet and the connected portion.

5. The lens driving device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner periphery portion of the spring sheet forms at least one opening to which a part of a connected surface of the lens holder is exposed, and the damping element is directly connected to the atm portion of the spring sheet, the opening and the part of the connected surface of the lens holder.

6. The lens driving device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the damping element surrounds the arm portion of the spring sheet.

7. The lens driving device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the damping element is a gel.

8. The lens driving device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame and the lens holder comprise resin material.

9. The lens driving device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame and the spring sheet are respectively a top casing and an upper spring sheet of the lens driving device.

10. The lens driving device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame and the spring sheet are respectively a bottom base and a lower spring sheet of the lens driving device.

11. The lens driving device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the arm portion is provided through a portion of the damping element.
