Patent ID: 7692687

Claim:
An anti-shake apparatus of a photographing apparatus, comprising: a movable unit that has an imaging device that can be moved and rotated on a plane which is perpendicular to an optical axis of a camera lens of the photographing apparatus; and a fixed unit that supports said movable unit to be movable and rotatable on said plane; said movable unit and said fixed unit having a moving apparatus that moves and rotates said movable unit; a number of points on said movable unit that receive a first force in a first direction by said moving apparatus, being equal to or more than 1, and said first direction being perpendicular to the optical axis; a number of points on said movable unit that receive a second force in a second direction by said moving apparatus, being equal to or more than 2, and said second direction being perpendicular to the optical axis and to said first direction; said points on said movable unit that receive said first force in said first direction being on a first line which is parallel to or extends in said second direction; and said points on said movable unit that receive said second force in said second direction being on a second line which is parallel to or extends in said first direction wherein one of said movable unit and said fixed unit has a coil unit that has one or more coils that move said movable unit in said first direction as said moving apparatus, and has two or more coils that move said movable unit in said second direction as said moving apparatus; and another of said movable unit and said fixed unit has a driving magnet unit that has said one or more magnets that move said movable unit in said first direction as said moving apparatus, and has said two or more magnets that move said movable unit in said second direction as said moving apparatus, and wherein a coil pattern of said coil that moves said movable unit in said first direction, has a line segment which is parallel to said second direction, before said movable unit is rotated, and a coil pattern of said coil that moves said movable unit in said second direction, has a line segment which is parallel to said first direction, before said movable unit is rotated; and an N pole and S pole of said magnet that moves said movable unit in said first direction, are arranged in said first direction, and an N pole and S pole of said magnet that moves said movable unit in said second direction, are arranged in said second direction.
