Imaging unit and image pickup apparatus

Abstract

An imaging unit includes an image sensor, a fixed portion, a movable portion that holds the image sensor and is supported movably relative to the fixed portion in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis, and a magnet and a coil configured to drive the movable portion. The fixed portion includes a first holding member that holds the magnet or the coil, and a first heat dissipating member. The movable portion includes a second holding member that holds the image sensor, and a second heat dissipating member. The first heat dissipating member has a first surface perpendicular to the optical axis. The second heat dissipating member has a second surface perpendicular to the optical axis. The first surface and the second surface have an opposing region in which the first surface and the second surface face each other in an optical axis direction.
