Abstract:
1. An optical device comprising: a lens holding member that holds a blur correcting lens and that is movable in a direction along a plane that is orthogonal to an optical axis of the lens; and an actuator that moves said lens holding member in the direction along the plane, wherein said actuator includes holding member, and two actuator elements, formed of electroactive polymer, and a connecting member that connects the lens holding member, and said connecting member is sandwiched between each end of said two actuator elements in the direction along the plane, said connecting member adheres to each end of said two actuator elements, each of the other ends of said two actuator elements adheres said holding member, and said lens holding member moves in the direction along the plane by elastic deformation of said two actuator elements in the direction along the plane.
