Wiring structure of an image stabilizer

A wiring structure of an image stabilizer, comprising:

• a movable member which supports an image-stabilizing optical system;
• a cylindrical base which supports said movable member to be movable in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of said image-stabilizing optical system;
• a first drive device which drives said movable member in a first direction perpendicular to said optical axis;
• a second drive device which drives said movable member in a second direction perpendicular to said optical axis, said first direction and second direction being orthogonal to each other;
• a first electrical element associated with said first drive device and a second electrical element associated with said second drive device, said first and second elements being separately mounted on said movable member being spaced in a circumferential direction about said optical axis;
• a first wiring strip which extends into said cylindrical base from the outside thereof to be connected to said first electrical element;
• a second wiring strip which extends into said cylindrical base from the outside thereof to be connected to said second electrical element;
• and
• said first wiring strip and said second wiring strip are positioned inside said cylindrical base with said first wiring strip intersecting said second wiring strip as viewed along said optical axis.

A wiring structure of an image stabilizer comprising:

• a movable member which supports at least one lens group, said movable member being supported so as to be movable in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of said at least one lens group;
• and
• a strip of flexible printed wiring board, one end of which is connected to said movable member;
• wherein
• said one end of said strip of said flexible printed wiring board is bifurcated to provide a first wiring strip and a second wiring strip which firstly extend in opposite directions away from each other along a circumferential direction about said optical axis, and subsequently fold back inwardly towards each folded portion of each respective second and first wiring strips, to be connected to said movable member after intersecting each other as viewed along said optical axis.
