Abstract

The present invention is a lens driving device comprising first driving coils 30 a which relatively moves a lens holder 40 against a base part 10 along X axis perpendicular to an optical axis of a lens 100 , and second driving coils 30 b which relatively moves a lens holder 40 against a base part 10 along Y axis perpendicular to an optical axis. At the base part 10 , an opening part 12 is formed where a part of the lens 100 is to be inserted in a movable manner along the driving plane. The oblique diameter Dxy 1 and Dxy 2 of the opening part 12 along the oblique direction positioned at the middle of X axis and Y axis, is larger than the first inner diameter Dx along X axis direction of the opening part 12 , and also larger than the second inner diameter Dy along Y axis direction of the opening part 12 . At the base part 10 , the cylinder shape projection part 14 is formed along the periphery of the opening part 12.

Claims (46)

1. A lens driving device comprising a first driving part allowing a lens part including at least one lens to relatively move against a base part along a first driving axis crossing with an optical axis of said lens, and

second driving part allowing said lens part to relatively move against said base along a second driving axis crossing with said opticaI axis of the lens and with said first driving axis, wherein

an opening part is formed at said base part to which a part of said lens is inserted in a movable manner along a driving plane including said first driving axis and said second driving axis, and

said opening part has an atypical shape in which a peripheral plane of said lens does not collide with an inner side plane of said opening part.

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

an opening width of said opening part along an oblique direction positioned in the middle of said first driving axis and said second driving axis is wider than an opening width of said opening part along a direction of said first driving axis, and also wider than an opening width of said opening part along a direction of said second driving axis.

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

said lens is installed in an inner side plane of a lens holder holding said lens.

4. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 1 ,

a circuit substrate is provided on said base plate,

said circuit substrate is formed as one body with said base part.

5. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

a projection part which projects out along the optical axis direction of said lens towards said movable part is formed along a peripheral of said opening part at said base part.

6. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 5 , wherein

a driving coil which constitutes a part of the first driving part and the second driving part is, provided at said base part,

a coil front end of said driving coil is positioned at front side along said optical axis direction than said projection end of said projection part.

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

said driving coil is embedded with said circuit substrate.

8. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

only said lens is inserted to said opening part and said lens holder is not inserted to said opening part.

9. A lens driving device comprising

a first driving part allowing a lens part including at least one lens to relatively move against a base part along a first driving axis crossing with an optical axis of said lens, and

a second driving part allowing said lens part to relatively move against said base along a second driving axis crossing with said optical axis of the lens and with said first driving axis, wherein

an opening part is formed at said base part to which a part of said lens is inserted in a movable manner along a driving plane including said first driving axis and said second driving axis, and

said opening part is formed so that a peripheral plane of said lens held in a movable manner along said first driving axis, said second driving axis and said optical axis does not collide with an inner side of said opening part.

10. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 9 , wherein

an opening width of said opening part along an oblique direction positioned in the middle of said first driving axis and said second driving axis is wider than an opening width of said opening part along a direction of said first driving axis, and also wider than an opening width of said opening part along a direction of said second driving axis.

11. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 9 , wherein

said lens is installed in an inner side plane of a lens holder holding said lens.

12. Previously Presented) The lens driving device as set forth in claim 9 , wherein

a circuit substrate is provided on said base plate,

said circuit substrate is formed as one body with said base part.

13. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 9 , wherein

a projection part which projects out along the optical axis direction of said lens towards said movable part is formed along a peripheral of said opening part at said base part.

14. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 13 , wherein

a driving coil which constitutes a part of the first driving part and the second driving part is provided at said base part,

a coil front end of said driving coil is positioned at front side along said optical axis direction than said projection end of said projection part.

15. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 9 , wherein

said driving coil is embedded with said circuit substrate.

16. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 9 , wherein

only said lens is inserted to said opening part and said lens holder is not inserted to said opening part.

17. A lens driving device comprising

a first driving part allowing a lens part including at least one lens to relatively move against a base part along a first driving axis crossing with an optical axis of said lens, and

a second driving part allowing said lens part to relatively move against said base along a second driving axis crossing with said optical axis of the lens and with said first driving axis, wherein

an opening part is formed at said base part to which a part of said lens is ins in a movable manner along a driving plane including said first driving axis and said second driving axis, and

said opening part is formed so that a peripheral plane of said lens does not collide with an inner side plane of said opening part.
