Abstract

An optical system is provided, including a base, a first lens driving module and a second lens driving module. The first lens driving module includes a first holder, a first magnet, and a first coil corresponding to the first magnet, wherein the first holder is used to hold a first optical element and has a first side. The second lens driving module includes a second holder, a second magnet, and a second coil corresponding to the second magnet, wherein the second holder is used to hold a second optical element and has a second side. The first side is adjacent and parallel to the second side, and no magnet is disposed on the first side or second side.
