Patent ID: 8396357

Claim:
An optical unit with shake correcting function comprising: a movable module on which an optical element is mounted; a fixed body which supports the movable module; a shake detection sensor which detects a shake of the movable module; a shake correction magnetic drive mechanism which swings the movable module on the fixed body on a basis of a detection result of the shake detection sensor to correct the shake of the movable module; and a spring member which is connected with the fixed body and the movable module; a swing support point which is structured between the fixed body and the movable module; wherein the spring member urges the movable module toward the swing support point, and a portion of the fixed body which structures the swing support point is provided with a spring part that enables the swing support point to displace in an optical axis direction; wherein when three directions perpendicular to each other in the fixed body are set to be an X-axis, a Y-axis and a Z-axis, and a direction along an optical axis is set to be the Z-axis, a stopper mechanism is structured between the movable module and the fixed body, and the stopper mechanism restricts moving ranges of the movable module due to the shake in both directions in an X-axis direction, both directions in a Y-axis direction, both directions in a Z-axis direction, both directions around the X-axis, both directions around the Y-axis and both directions around the Z-axis.
