Patent ID: 8682150

Claim:
A lens driving apparatus comprising: a lens portion having at least one lens, a first driving portion to cause a movement of a movable unit including said lens portion relatively to a fixed portion in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction along a vertical direction of a light axis of said lens portion, a second driving portion to cause a movement of said lens portion relatively to said fixed portion along said light axis, and an image sensor held on said fixed portion to detect a light which comes through said lens portion, a casing held on said fixed portion to cover said movable unit and the image sensor, and a planar flexible printed circuit to which the shake detection sensor detecting shake of said fixed portion is connected and fixed, the planar flexible printed circuit being attached to contact with a sidewall surface of said casing parallel to the light axis of said lens, wherein a fixed circuit board vertical to said light axis is arranged on said fixed portion, a sensor detecting a movement of said movable unit in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is arranged on said fixed circuit board, and said flexible printed circuit and said fixed circuit board are connected, wherein, said movable unit is attached to allow a movement relatively to said fixed portion along the vertical direction of said light axis by at least three wire members, and said movable unit includes the second driving portion, and wherein, a driving power is supplied to the second driving portion of said movable unit through at least one of said wire members.
