  • Patent number: 11520118
    Abstract: This lens drive device 1 comprises: an autofocus drive unit for performing autofocus using a driving force of a voice coil motor configured from a first coil part 112 and a magnet part 122; and a shake correction drive unit for performing shake correction using a driving force of a voice coil motor configured from a second coil part 231 and the magnet part 122. The magnet part 122 includes first magnets 122A, 122C disposed at two mutually facing sides among the four sides of a substantially rectangular-shaped lens drive device in a plan view, and a second magnet 122B disposed at another side. The side the second magnet 122B faces is designated a no-magnet disposed section R where no magnet is disposed.

  • Patent number: 10684532
    Abstract: This lens-driving device is provided with: a shake correction drive unit which, utilizing the drive power of a voice coil motor, causes a moveable shake correction unit that includes a shake correction magnet unit to oscillate within a plane orthogonal to the optical axis with respect to a stationary shake correction unit that includes a shake correction magnet unit, in order to carry out shake correction; and a plurality of suspension wires for supporting the moveable shake correction unit with respect to the stationary shake correction unit. The moveable shake correction unit has a retaining member for retaining the shake correction magnet unit, and the retaining member has a wire passage part recessed inwardly in the diametrical direction and formed to have an inside diameter at the bottom which is larger than the inside diameter at the top, a suspension wire being arranged in the retaining member.
