Patent ID: 7952613

Claim:
An image blur correcting unit comprising: a holding module that holds a lens and a sensor board having an image sensor, the image sensor receiving object light imaged by the lens to produce an image signal; a support member that swingably supports the holding module in an arbitrary direction at an axis point that is a point on an outer circumference of the holding module; first and second driving mechanisms that drive the holding module respectively via first and second driving points that are separated from the axis point in respective different first and second directions, wherein the first and second driving points are along the outer circumference of the holding module, the first driving mechanism swings the holding module via the first driving point about a first axis connecting the axis point and the second driving point, and the second driving mechanism swings the holding module via the second driving point about the second axis connecting the axis point and the first driving point; and a flexible board in which its one end is connected to the sensor board and in which its surface portion elongates at least first from an edge of the sensor board on a plane of the sensor board, the surface portion elongating from an edge of the holding module toward an outside in a direction oblique to both the first and second directions, wherein the surface portion of the flexible board extending first from the edge of the sensor board extends outwardly from the axis point of the holding module in a direction oblique to both the first and second directions.
