Abstract
An optical element driving mechanism used for driving an optical element is provided. The optical element driving mechanism includes a fixed portion and a driving assembly. The driving assembly is used for driving the optical element to move relative to the fixed portion in a first dimension.
Claims22
An optical element driving mechanism used for driving an optical element, comprising:
- a fixed portion;
- a movable portion movable relative to the fixed portion and comprising a first top wall, a second top wall protruding from the first top wall, and a third top wall protruding from the first top wall, wherein the optical element is disposed on the first top wall of the movable portion, a first top wall surface of the first top wall faces the optical element, a second top wall surface of the second top wall faces the optical element, and a third top wall surface of the third top wall faces the optical element;
- and
- a driving assembly used for driving the optical element to move relative to the fixed portion in a first dimension, wherein the first dimension is rotation relative to a rotational axis parallel to a first axis,
- wherein the driving assembly comprises:
- a coil;
- a first magnetic element corresponding to the coil;
- and
- a second magnetic element corresponding to the coil, wherein the first top wall is disposed between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element;
- wherein:
- the coil, the first magnetic element, and the second magnetic element are arranged in a second axis;
- the coil and the optical element are arranged in a third axis;
- and
- the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis are mutually perpendicular.
