Lens Driving Device and Imaging Device using the same

A lens driving device comprising:

• a first driving means for driving a first lens group holding frame arranged movable along the optical axis, the first driving means including a first drive source and a first driving mechanism for driving the first lens group holding frame by using a drive force output from the first drive source;
• and
• a second driving means for driving a second lens holding frame arranged movable along the optical axis, the second driving means including a second drive source and a second driving mechanism for driving the second lens group holding frame by using a drive force output from the second drive source;
• wherein
• the first and the second driving mechanism are arranged on one side of a lens group holding frame driven range that the first and the second lens group holding frame are driven and along the optical-axis orthogonal reference-plane which is orthogonal to the optical axis on the one side, and the first and the second drive sources are respectively arranged on one the side of the first and the second driving mechanism are arranged, and along the optical-axis orthogonal reference-plane, and facing each other with interposing the optical-axis orthogonal reference-line which is orthogonal to the optical axis on the one side.
