Abstract

A lens driving module for holding and moving a lens is provided, including a lens holder, a first electromagnetic driving assembly disposed on the lens holder, a base, a second electromagnetic driving assembly disposed on the base, and a first elastic member. The lens holder has an accommodating space and a first surface, and the lens is disposed in the accommodating space. The base has a connecting surface and a first contacting surface. The connecting surface and the first contacting surface are coplanar. The second electromagnetic driving assembly is adjacent to the first electromagnetic driving assembly, and the first elastic member is connected to the connecting surface and the lens holder. When the lens holder contacts the base, the first surface contacts the first contacting surface.
