STAGE APPARATUS AND IMAGE MOVEMENT CORRECTION APPARATUS FOR CAMERA USING STAGE APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A stage apparatus comprising:
- a stationary support plate;
a stage member provided on the stationary support plate so as to move on a reference plane parallel with the stationary support plate;
a plurality of Y-direction magnetic flux generating devices secured to one of said stationary support plate and said stage member; and
a plurality of Y-direction moving coils secured to the other of said stationary support plate and said stage member, said Y-direction moving coils receiving magnetic flux from said Y-direction magnetic flux generating devices so as to generate a driving force in a specific Y-direction parallel with said reference plane between said Y-direction magnetic flux generating devices and said Y-direction moving coils, wherein one of said Y-direction moving coils and said Y-direction magnetic flux generating devices at least partly overlap each other in an X-direction, which is parallel with said reference plane and perpendicular to said Y-direction, and do not overlap in said Y-direction.

Abstract
A stage apparatus includes a stationary support plate; a stage member provided on the stationary support plate so as to move on a reference plane parallel with the stationary support plate; Y-direction magnetic flux generating devices secured to one of the stationary support plate and the stage member; and Y-direction moving coils secured to the other of the stationary support plate and the stage member, the Y-direction moving coils receiving magnetic flux from the Y-direction magnetic flux generating devices so as to generate a driving force in a specific Y-direction between the Y-direction magnetic flux generating devices and the Y-direction moving coils. The Y-direction moving coils are secured to the stage member so that the Y-direction moving coils at least partly overlap each other in an X-direction, which is parallel with the reference plane and perpendicular to the Y-direction, and do not overlap in the Y-direction.

15. An image movement correcting apparatus comprising:
-
a support device for supporting an image pickup device so as to move in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of a photographing optical system and to rotate about an axis parallel with the optical axis;
a drive device for moving said image pickup device in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis and for rotating said image pickup device about said axis parallel with the optical axis;
a shake detector for detecting the shake of said photographing optical system about said optical axis;
a rotation detector for detecting a rotational shake of said photographing optical system about said optical axis; and
a controller for driving said drive device to move said image pickup device, so that no movement of an object image formed on an image pickup surface of said image pickup device by the photographing optical system occurs if said optical axis moves or if rotational shake about said optical axis occurs, in accordance with a detection result of said shake detection device and said rotation detector. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
