Abstract: An optical driving apparatus, including: a fixed member; a driven member that is movable with respect to the fixed member; and a guiding member that restricts the driven member from moving in a predetermined direction with respect to the fixed member, wherein the guiding member has: a first groove in a V-shaped cross-sectional shape, which is formed on any one of the fixed member or the driven member; a first convex portion fitting into the first groove, which is formed on another of the fixed member or the driven member; and a plurality of microspheres interposed in a gap between the first groove and the first convex portion and disposed in a longitudinal direction of the first groove and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to generate rolling friction.
