Abstract: According to one embodiment, a lens driving apparatus comprises: a fixed member in which a first long groove is formed; a movable member including a lens and a second long groove; a first ball arranged between the first long groove and the second long groove, and configured to guide the movable member along the groove; a plurality of second balls arranged on a side opposite to a side of the first ball with the lens; a first actuator configured to generate a driving force for moving the movable member along the groove; and a second actuator for pivoting the movable member with respect to the fixed member. A pivoting center around which the movable member is pivoted with respect to the fixed member is a position of the first ball when the movable member is moved along the first long groove and the second long groove.

Abstract: A flexible wiring structure includes a first and a second flexible wiring section divided with a relay section provided on one end side of an L-shaped section of a flexible wire having the L-shaped section. The first flexible wiring section includes a first raised surface and a first post-bend raised surface bent in a first bent section, which is a bent section of the L-shaped section, from the first raised surface. The second flexible wiring section includes a second raised surface and a second post-bend raised surface bent in a second bent section, which is a bent section of the L-shaped section and provided above the first bent section, from the second raised surface and parallel to the first post-bend raised surface. The second post-bend raised surface is folded back in a raised surface bending section provided on the second raised surface and overlaps the first post-bend raised surface.

Abstract: An image stabilization mechanism is provided with a base unit, a movable unit on which an image pickup device is arranged and which is movable with reference to the base unit, a guide axis to guide the movable unit in a first direction that is an axis direction parallel with an imaging area of the image pickup device, a first drive unit to move the movable unit along the guide axis in the first direction, and a second drive unit to move the guide axis along the base unit in a second direction that is parallel with the imaging area and that intersects with the first direction.
