CAMERA MODULE

摘要

A camera module (22) having advantageously increased durability and impact resistance. The camera module (22) has a housing (66), a lens holding section (68), a spring (70), an imaging element (29), and a drive section (72). The housing (66) includes a front housing (78) and a rear housing (80). The drive section (72) moves the lens holding section (68) along the optical axis of an imaging optical system (34) and is constructed including magnets (74) and coils (76). The two magnets (74) are arranged in parallel to a single imaginary plane passing through the optical axis, at the place of the lens holding section (68) holding the optical axis. The coils (76) are arranged at those two places of the housing (66) that face the magnets (74).
