ABSTRACT:
An optical-element driving mechanism is configured to drive an optical element, and includes a uniaxial driving mechanism that includes a linear actuator that drives in a first direction, and a link mechanism that converts a displacement in a direction orthogonal to the first direction. The linear actuator is level with the link mechanism in an optical-axis direction. The uniaxial driving mechanism is arranged in order of the link mechanism and the linear actuator in a radial direction when viewed form an optical axis of the optical element.
