Abstract

The invention describes a taking lens driving system using permanent magnets provided inside of the lens barrel. A plurality of movable coils surrond the circumference of the taking lens and are arranged so as to transverse the magnetic flux of the permanent magnets. At least one of the movable coil members drives the taking lens unit, while the other coils are used to the range of movement of the movable coil member.
