A miniature lens driving apparatus comprising:
- (a) a plurality of wires;
- (b) an optical image stabilizing (OIS) mechanism having a lens holder, at least one magnet, and a plurality of coils;
- wherein the said plurality of coils of the OIS mechanism operatively associates with the said at least one magnet of the OIS mechanism to move the said lens holder of the OIS mechanism along a direction substantially perpendicular to an optical axis;
- and
- (c) an autofocus (AF) mechanism having an AF moving platform movable along the optical axis, at least one coil, and at least one magnet;
- wherein the said at least one coil of the AF mechanism operatively associates with the said at least one magnet of the AF mechanism to move the said AF moving platform along the optical axis;
- (d) wherein the said lens holder of the OIS mechanism is coupled with and suspended in the air on the AF moving platform via the plurality of wires directly or indirectly.
