Abstract: According to one embodiment, a lens driving device includes a movable member, a fixed member, and a magnet. The movable member is configured to retain a lens and a coil. The fixed member is configured to support the movable member such that the movable member is movable in an optical axis direction of the lens using an elastic member. The magnet is configured to generate a driving force for the movable member by interaction with the coil provided in the fixed member. At least one of the coil and the magnet is provided so as to be projected from the fixed member in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the lens.

Abstract: Of the two coil units 2-1 and 2-2 constituting an upper-stage coil unit, the coil unit 2-1 is passed through the winding of a coil unit 1-2 that constitutes a lower-stage coil unit, together with a coil unit 1-1, from inside to outside of the winding. A wire led inwards from the coil unit 2-1 of the upper-stage coil unit is passed through the inside of the winding of the coil unit 1-1 of the lower-stage coil unit, and is pulled outside the winding of the coil unit 1-1.
