  • Publication number: 20210003813
    Abstract: An optical element driving mechanism is provided. The optical element driving mechanism includes a housing, a base unit, a holding unit, a driving assembly, and a metal component. The base unit is connected to the housing. The holding unit is configured to hold an optical element having an optical axis and movable relative to the housing and the base. The driving assembly is configured to drive the holding unit to move relative to the housing and the base unit. The metal component is disposed in the base unit, wherein at least a portion of the metal component is connected to the driving assembly.

  • Patent number: 10823933
    Abstract: A driving mechanism is provided and drives an optical element. The driving mechanism includes a holding unit, a base unit, an elastic element, and a driving assembly. The holding unit holds an optical element. The base includes a body and a connecting component. The connecting component is formed in the body by insert molding, and has a first contact and a second contact. The first contact and the second contact are located on different sides of the base, and the first contact is electrically connected to a base unit outside the driving mechanism. The elastic element connects the holding unit to the base, and the second contact is electrically connected to the elastic elements. The driving mechanism drives the optical element to move relative to the base.
