  • Publication number: 20180180972
    Abstract: Provided are a lens driving device, a camera module, and a camera-equipped apparatus. A lens driving device according to the present invention includes an auto-focus coil, an auto-focus magnet, and a yoke. By utilizing a driving force of a voice coil motor constituted of the auto-focus coil and the auto-focus magnet, the lens driving device moves an auto-focus movable unit, which includes the auto-focus coil, along an optical axis direction, relative to an auto-focus fixed unit including the auto-focus magnet and the yoke, to achieve automatic focusing. The yoke has a side frame on which the auto-focus magnet is fixed; a top frame projecting inward from the top edge of the side frame, and eaves projecting to a region above the auto-focus coil in regions of the top frame except the four corners thereof.
