Optical element driving mechanism
An optical element driving mechanism includes a movable portion, a fixed portion and a driving assembly. The movable portion is configured to connect an optical element having an optical axis. The fixed portion includes a base with a plate structure, wherein the movable portion is movable relative to the fixed portion. The driving assembly is configured to drive the movable portion to move relative to the base. A thickness direction of the base is perpendicular to the optical axis, the base has a recessed structure, and when viewed from the thickness direction of the base, the recessed structure is overlapped with the optical axis.
