Patent Searching and Data


Title:
A drive, an automatic focusing device using it, picture apparatus, and a lens device
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6124509
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drive device with reduced size capable of controlling, in minute vibration drive in an optical axis direction of an optical member such as a lens and an imaging element, driving the optical member with large amplitude at a high speed and in an accurate and efficient manner, and prevent generation of large vibration and noise.SOLUTION: A drive device includes: a plurality of actuators 111 that each have one end having a movable lens 103 fixed thereto and the other end supported by a fixing member, and are bent and deformed at least in an optical axis direction according to application of voltage; and an actuator control circuit 112 that drives the plurality of actuators 111 to vibrate a bending vibration piece formed of the movable lense 103 and the plurality of actuators 111 at a frequency around bending vibration resonance, so as to vibrate and deform the movable lens 103 in the optical axis direction.
