Abstract:
A position detecting apparatus includes: a fixed member in which a magnet is disposed, a movable member including a movable barrel in which a coil and an optical element are disposed, the movable barrel being driven in a direction perpendicular to a direction along an optical axis of the optical element with respect to the fixed member by a VCM driving section, and a magnetism detecting member disposed in the movable member, the magnetism detecting member detecting a change in a magnetic flux density of the magnet at a time when the movable member is driven. The magnetism detecting member is disposed, in a plane perpendicular to a direction along the optical axis, in a position where a magnetic flux density of the coil does not affect the change in the magnetic flux density due to the magnet when an electric current is fed to the coil.

Claim (Index 5):
A position detecting apparatus comprising:\n a fixed member in which one of a set of magnets disposed to be opposite to each other and a set of coils disposed to be opposite to each other is disposed; a movable member in which another of the set of magnets disposed to be opposite to each other and the set of coils disposed to be opposite to each other and an optical element are disposed, the movable member moving in a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of the optical element; and a set of magnetism detecting members disposed in the movable member or the fixed member in which the set of coils is disposed, the set of magnetism detecting members detecting a change in a magnetic flux density of each of magnets of the set of magnets when the movable member is driven, wherein the set of magnetism detecting members is disposed on a first imaginary line on which a sum of magnetic flux densities in a direction along the optical axis respectively generated from the coils of the set of coils is zero when electric currents in opposite directions to each other are fed to the set of coils.
