A shake correction device performs shake correction of an imaging element and includes a movable unit that includes the imaging element and a coil of an actuator and is configured to move within a plane intersecting an optical axis; a fixed unit including a magnet and a yoke of the actuator; and a flexible circuit that is connected to the imaging element and/or the coil, in which the flexible circuit has a first bent portion and a second bent portion that are bent, and is disposed to form a first unit by making opening portions of the first bent portion and the second bent portion face each other and fixing the first bent portion and the second bent portion in regions overlapping with each other. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A shake correction device that performs shake correction of an imaging element, comprising: a movable unit that includes the imaging element and a coil of an actuator and is configured to move within a plane intersecting an optical axis; a fixed unit including a magnet and a yoke of the actuator; and a flexible circuit that is connected to the imaging element and/or the coil, wherein the flexible circuit has a first bent portion and a second bent portion that are bent, and is disposed to form a first unit by making opening portions of the first bent portion and the second bent portion face each other and fixing the first bent portion and the second bent portion in regions overlapping with each other. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the first unit has two overlapping regions, the opening portion of the first bent portion is located outside in one overlapping region, and the opening portion of the second bent portion is located outside in the other overlapping region. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the first bent portion and the second bent portion overlap with each other by a length equal to or larger than a width of the first bent portion or a width of the second bent portion in the overlapping region. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the first bent portion and the second bent portion are fixed with a gap in the overlapping region. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the first bent portion and the second bent portion are fixed by disposing a metal member between the first bent portion and the second bent portion in the overlapping region. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the first bent portion and the second bent portion are fixed by disposing a resin member between the first bent portion and the second bent portion in the overlapping region. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the first bent portion and the second bent portion are fixed by disposing an electromagnetic noise suppression member between the first bent portion and the second bent portion in the overlapping region. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the first bent portion and the second bent portion are disposed such that a noise source line of the first bent portion and a noise-receiving line having high noise sensitivity of the second bent portion are separated from each other in the overlapping region. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the first bent portion and the second bent portion are disposed such that a digital power supply line of the first bent portion and an analog power supply line of the second bent portion are separated from each other in the overlapping region. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the first bent portion and the second bent portion are disposed such that a metal wire of the first bent portion and an impedance matching signal line for high-speed communication of the second bent portion are separated from each other in the overlapping region. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the first unit is disposed on a surface of the movable unit intersecting an imaging surface of the imaging element. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The shake correction device according to claim 1, wherein the flexible circuit has a third bent portion and a fourth bent portion that are bent, and is disposed to form a second unit by making opening portions of the third bent portion and the fourth bent portion face each other and fixing the third bent portion and the fourth bent portion in regions overlapping with each other. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The shake correction device according to claim 12, wherein the first unit and the second unit are disposed on a surface of the movable unit intersecting an imaging surface of the imaging element, and are disposed at positions where rotational moments cancel each other out with respect to a centroid of the movable unit. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) An imaging apparatus comprising: the shake correction device according to claim 1.
