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.
