Abstract

An optical driving mechanism is provided, for driving an optical element, including: a fixed portion, a movable portion, a driving assembly and a position sensing assembly. The movable portion is movably connected to the fixed portion and includes a holder for sustaining the optical element. The driving assembly is configured to drive the movable portion to move relative to the fixed portion. The position sensing assembly is configured to sense a distance of the movable portion relative to the fixed portion, the position sensing assembly includes a sensing magnetic element and a sensor, wherein the sensing magnetic element is disposed on the movable portion and has a rectangular structure. A direction of a long axis of the rectangular structure extends in a direction that is perpendicular to the optical axis of the optical element, and the direction of the long axis is different from the optical axis direction.
