Abstract
To provide a method of manufacturing an optical device, and an optical device thereof, with which a current sensitivity, at the time when a movable side member is driven by energizing a drive coil, may be adjusted and/or optimized easily.
Claims20
A method of manufacturing an optical device which is equipped with a movable side member having an optical element, a stationary side member to support the movable side member so as to enable movement of the movable side member, a drive coil positioned at one member of the movable side member and the stationary side member, a drive magnet positioned at the other member of the movable side member and the stationary side member so as to face the drive coil, and provided with a magnetic drive means to drive the movable side member;
- the method comprising:
- preparing a plurality of spacers that have a specified thickness;
- an assembly process, in which the drive coil is placed onto the one member described above, and on the other hand the drive magnet is placed onto the other member described above;
- a sensitivity inspection process, in which a current sensitivity is inspected under a condition where the drive coil is energized to drive the movable side member;
- and
- a sensitivity correction process, in which a required number of the spacers are layered at, according to a measure result of the current sensitivity, at least either of the following positions, a position on a top side of the drive magnet facing the drive coil, or another position between a bottom side that is a counter side to the top side, of the drive magnet and the stationary side member.
