Abstract

An image capturing unit is provided, including a base, a frame movably connected to the base, a lens holder movably disposed in the frame for receiving a lens, a first magnet, a first coil, a second magnet, and a second coil. When a current is applied to the first coil, a magnetic force is generated between the first magnet and the first coil to move the frame and the lens holder relative to the base. When a current is applied to the second coil, a magnetic force is generated between the second magnet and the second coil to move the lens holder relative to the frame.

Claims (22)

1. An optical member driving system, comprising:

a first driving mechanism, configured to move a first optical member having a first optical axis, comprising:

a first base;

a first frame, movably connected to the first base; and

a first driving assembly, configured to drive the first frame and the first optical member to move relative to the first base, comprising:

a first coil, disposed on the first frame; and

a first magnetic member, disposed on the first base; and

a second driving mechanism, configured to move a second optical member having a second axis, comprising:

a second base;

a second frame, movably connected to the second base; and

a second driving assembly, configured to drive the second frame and the second optical member to move relative to the second base, comprising:

a second coil, disposed on the second base; and

a second magnetic member, disposed on the second frame, wherein the first axis is different from the second axis.

2. The optical member driving system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first driving assembly is configured to drive the first frame and the first optical member to move relative to the first base along a direction perpendicular to the first axis, and the second driving assembly is configured to drive the second frame and the second optical member to move relative to the second base along the direction perpendicular to the first axis.

3. The optical member driving system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the moving direction of the first frame and the first optical member relative to the first base is different from the moving direction of the second frame and the second optical member relative to the second base.

4. The optical member driving system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the first coil is different from the longitudinal axis of the second coil.

5. The optical member driving system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism are arranged along a first direction, and the second driving mechanism further comprises a plurality of second driving assemblies arranged along a second direction, wherein the first direction is different from the second direction.

6. The optical member driving system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the second coil is not parallel to the second optical axis.

7. The optical member driving system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member do not overlap as seen from a direction perpendicular to the first optical axis.

8. The optical member driving system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a winding axis of the first coil is parallel to the second optical axis.

9. The optical member driving system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the second coil is disposed between the first optical member and the second optical member as seen from the first optical axis.

10. The optical member driving system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the moving direction of the first frame and the first optical member relative to the first base is parallel to the moving direction of the second frame and the second optical member relative to the second base.
