Disclosed herein is a lens driving mechanism which can achieve simplification of the mechanism and provision of appropriate control relating to a correction against a shake. The lens driving mechanism includes a piezoelectric element that is deformed when energized for applying driving force to the movable block and a charge amount sensor for detecting the amount of charge accumulated in the piezoelectric element. The amount of electric current to be supplied to the piezoelectric element is determined based on the external force, acting upon the movable block, which is estimated based on the difference between the amount of charge injected into or discharged from the piezoelectric element and the amount of charge accumulated in the piezoelectric element and detected by the charge amount sensor when the movable block is moved in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

There are provided a lens barrel assembly and an image capturing apparatus which are advantageous to increase the feeding accuracy for a movable lens and to reduce the size of a lens barrel. Second group position detecting means 34 is provided for generating positional data corresponding to the position of a second group lens 12. The angular displacement of a second group motor 2804 is controlled in order to equalize the position of the second group lens 12 along the optical axis to a target position based on the positional data supplied from the second group position detecting means 34. If the positional data remains unchanged for a certain period of time while the second group motor 2804 is in rotation, then it is judged that the second group lens 12 is forcibly stopped against movement and the second group motor 2804 is immediately de-energized.

There is provided a shifting mechanism involving use of a linear actuator having a driving magnet and a driving coil as drive means for shifting a driven unit, or a movable lens contained in the driven unit, or an imaging device in a prescribed direction, which includes a piezoelectric device deformable with a drive voltage applied thereto and adapted to control shifting of the driven unit at the time when the piezoelectric device is deformed. There is also provided an image capturing apparatus having the shifting mechanism.
摘要:
A lens driving mechanism is disclosed which can achieve miniaturization of the mechanism by simplification and enhancement of the reliability in position control of a movable block. The lens driving mechanism includes a piezoelectric element deformed when energized for functioning as a driving section for applying driving force to the movable block, a restriction section for restricting the movement of the movable block in the predetermined direction, and a detection section for detecting a predetermined amount regarding the piezoelectric element. The initial position of the movable block is set as a position at an extremity of the movement of the movable block within a movable range based on an inflection point of the predetermined amount detected by the detection section when the movable block moved by the deformation of the piezoelectric element is restricted by the restriction section.
