The supporting arm 13B is formed with a circular-arcuate planar member having elasticity and uniformly arranged in the outer peripheral region of the lens holder 11. A piezoelectric element 14 is fixed to one surface or both surfaces of the supporting arms 13B. The fine focusing adjusting lens 10 is moved in the direction of optical axis by the deforming force of the piezoelectric element 14 at the time of applying a voltage on the piezoelectric element 14.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a part or all of a lens constituting a photographing optical system is moved along an optical axis direction. In a lens drive mechanism that performs focus adjustment, a plurality of elastic bodies are arranged evenly in the outer peripheral area of the focus fine adjustment lens,
The elastic fine body supports the focus fine-adjustment lens, and a piezoelectric element is fixed to the elastic body, and the focus fine-adjustment lens is moved along the optical axis by a deformation force of the piezoelectric element when a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element. It is characterized by moving in the direction.

When a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element, the piezoelectric element is deformed in a predetermined direction to bend the plurality of elastic bodies in the same direction, whereby the focus fine adjustment lens can be moved. In this case, since the plurality of elastic bodies are evenly arranged on the outer peripheral area of the focus fine adjustment lens, the focus fine adjustment lens can be translated in the optical axis direction. Then, by controlling the magnitude of the voltage applied to the piezoelectric element, it is possible to accurately control the amount of movement of the focus fine-adjustment lens.

A third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the second aspect, the piezoelectric element is fixed to both surfaces of the plate-shaped member. According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect, the piezoelectric element is fixed to one surface of the plate-shaped member. The piezoelectric element can be fixed to both surfaces of the plate-shaped member, or can be fixed to only one surface. When the piezoelectric elements are fixed to both surfaces, the force (deformation force) generated by the piezoelectric elements increases, so that the elastic body can be largely bent. Also, when the piezoelectric element is fixed to one side, the force generated by the piezoelectric element is smaller than that of both sides, but the configuration is simpler and the voltage only needs to be applied to the piezoelectric element on one side. Control of the applied voltage is simple.

Next, the operation of the lens driving mechanism having the above configuration will be described. In the case of a bimorph as shown in FIG. 4A, different voltages are applied to the upper surface side and the lower surface side of the support arm 13B. For example, a voltage is applied to both piezoelectric elements 14 such that the piezoelectric element 14 on the upper surface side of the support arm 13B extends and the piezoelectric element 14 on the lower surface side of the support arm 13B contracts.
Thereby, the support arm 13B is bent downward as shown in FIG. Also, the piezoelectric element 1 on the lower surface side of the support arm 13B is shrunk so that the piezoelectric element 14 on the upper surface side of the support arm 13B contracts.
A voltage is applied to both piezoelectric elements 14 so that 4 is extended.
Thereby, the support arm 13B is bent upward as shown in FIG. The amount of bending of the support arm 13B can be controlled by controlling the voltage applied to both piezoelectric elements 14.

In the case of a unimorph as shown in FIG.
The bending of the support arm 13B is changed by controlling the voltage application to the piezoelectric element 14 on one side. For example, when a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element 14 so that the piezoelectric element 14 extends, the support arm 13B bends downward as shown in FIG. 5B. When a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element 14 so that the piezoelectric element 14 contracts, the support arm 13B bends upward as shown in FIG. 5C. The amount of bending of the support arm 13 </ b> B can be performed by controlling the voltage applied to the piezoelectric element 14.
