Abstract:
1. A lens driving apparatus for driving a movable body in a focus direction and a tracking direction comprising: a holder, to which a focus coil, a tracking coil and a lens are installed, to thereby constitute said movable body; and a magnetic circuit for applying magnetic fluxes to said focus coil and said tracking coil, to thereby drive said movable body in the focus direction and the tracking direction, said tracking coil including two sets each having upper and lower two coils arrayed in the focus direction such that the two sets are arrayed in the tracking direction, said magnetic circuit applying the magnetic fluxes opposite to each other along a jitter direction, with respect to the upper two coils and the lower two coils without applying the magnetic fluxes with respect to portions adjacent to the upper and lower two coils at least in an initial position thereof, said magnetic circuit having two magnets, in which both poles are magnetized, which are respectively including the trapezoidal part composed of a bottom portion, a top portion that is narrower in width than the bottom portion, and two inclined portions, each of the top portions of said two magnets adhering to each other.
