Lens holder driving device
First Claim
1. A lens driving device comprising:
- an assembly that is formed by assembling a lens holder together with a permanent magnet disposed around said lens holder; and
an image stabilizer portion configured to stabilize a blurred image by moving said assembly in first and second directions which are orthogonal to an optical axis of said lens holder and which are perpendicular to each other, wherein said permanent magnet comprises a plurality of permanent magnet pieces which are disposed around said lens holder so as to oppose each other in the first direction and the second direction, said plurality of permanent magnet pieces being magnetized in a radial direction, andwherein said image stabilizer portion comprises;
a base disposed apart from said assembly in the direction of the optical axis,a supporting member swingably supporting said assembly in the first direction and the second direction with respect to said base,an image stabilizer coil comprising a plurality of image stabilizer coil portions mounted on said base, each of said image stabilizer coil portions having a coil plane perpendicular to the optical axis and opposing one of said plurality of permanent magnet pieces, said image stabilizer coil comprising specific image stabilizer coil portions, among said plurality of image stabilizer coil portions, disposed in the first direction and the second direction, each of said specific image stabilizer coil portions being divided into a plurality of coil parts so as to separate in a longitudinal direction of a corresponding permanent magnet piece opposed thereto, said plurality of coil parts opposing one surface of said corresponding permanent magnet piece and each of said plurality of coil parts having a shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the corresponding permanent magnet piece opposed thereto, anda plurality of Hall elements disposed on said base at positions where each of said specific image stabilizer coil portions is separated into said plurality of coil parts, each of said plurality of Hall elements opposing said one surface of said corresponding permanent magnet piece opposed to said plurality of coil parts.

Abstract
An AF unit of a lens holder driving device includes a lens holder, a focusing coil, a permanent magnet having a plurality of permanent magnet pieces having first surfaces opposed to the focusing coil, a magnet holder holding the permanent magnet, and first and second leaf springs supporting the lens holder in a direction of an optical axis shiftably. An image stabilizer portion includes a fixed portion disposed near the second leaf spring, a supporting member swingably supporting the AF unit with respect to the fixed portion, an image stabilizer coil having a plurality of image stabilizer coil portions disposed so as to oppose to second surfaces of the plurality of permanent magnet pieces that are perpendicular to the first surfaces, and a plurality of Hall elements. Each Hall element is disposed at a position where the image stabilizer coil portion is separated into a plurality of coil parts.
