Abstract

A lens driving apparatus with a lens portion having at least one lens, a base portion on which an image sensor detecting light coming through said lens portion can be fixed, a driving portion capable of relatively moving said lens portion in a vertical direction to a light axis of said lens portion and in a parallel direction to the light axis of said lens portion with respect to said base portion, and at least three suspension wires connecting a focus portion including said lens portion and said base portion so as to allow a relative movement. The suspension wires are arranged outside a magnet of said driving portion along the vertical direction to the light axis.

Claims (34)

1. A lens driving apparatus comprising:

a lens holder supporting a lens,

an image sensor arranged in parallel along a light axis to the lens,

a supporting portion relatively movably connecting a base portion of a fixing portion and a magnet supporting member,

a first driving portion configured to move the magnet supporting portion relatively to the base portion,

a second driving portion configured to move the lens holder relatively to the image sensor, and

a magnetism blocking member arranged between the first driving portion and the second driving portion.

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

the second driving portion moves the lens holder along a direction of the light axis.

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

the first driving portion moves the magnet supporting member to a vertical direction to the light axis.

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

the first driving portion has a first coil and a first magnet arranged in parallel with a predetermined space along the light axis.

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

the second driving portion has a second coil and a second magnet arranged in parallel with a predetermined space along a vertical direction to the light axis.

6. The lens driving apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a resilient body connecting the supporting portion and the magnet supporting member.

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

the supporting portion has a wire shape and extends in a direction of the light axis.

8. The lens driving apparatus as set forth in claim 6 , wherein

the resilient body has a plate shape and extends a vertical direction to the light axis.

9. The lens driving apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a position sensor configured to detect a relative position between the magnet supporting member and the base portion,

wherein the magnetism blocking member is arranged between the position sensor and the second driving portion.

10. A driving apparatus comprising:

an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis vertical to each other,

a lens holder supporting a lens,

an image sensor arranged in parallel along the Z-axis to the lens,

a base portion with a circuit board,

a magnet supporting member arranged in parallel along the Z-axis to the base portion,

a first driving portion configured to move the magnet supporting member relatively to the base portion,

a second driving portion configured to move the lens holder relatively to the image sensor, and

a magnetism blocking member arranged between the first driving portion and the second driving portion.

11. The driving apparatus as set forth in claim 10 , wherein

the first driving portion has a first coil and a first magnet arranged in parallel with a predetermined space along the Z-axis, and

the circuit board is electrically connected to the first coil.
