Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the size of a lens driving device and to reduce its power consumption by applying a piezoelectric element and a displacement increasing mechanism to the lens driving device. CONSTITUTION:A lens 3 consists of a couple of lens elements 3a and 3b at the barrel part and a lens element fitted to the lens barrel fixed relatively so as to adjust the focus of a main lens body 3c. When a voltage impressed to the piezoelectric element 9 of the displacement increasing device 10, levers 12a and 12b are pushed and spread through hinges 11a and 11b as shown by arrows A and B, so forces shown by arrows P and Q are applied to points X and Y of the levers 12a and 12b on the principle of the levers. Buckling springs 13a and 13b are connected to their tips and the buckling springs 13a and 13 buckle by being pushed and contracted, so that the main lens body 3c is displaced as shown by a dotted line. Thus, the piezoelectric body which generates size strain by piezoelectric longitudinal effect and the displacement increasing and transmission mechanism are applied to the lens driving device to reduce the side of the device and also reduce the power consumption.
