ABSTRACT:
A magnetic coupling lens driving actuator includes an imaging element; a movable lens that is movable in a direction of an optic axis; a magnetic body that is coupled to the movable lens; a lens tube that encases and airtightly seals the imaging element, the movable lens, and the magnetic body; a magnetic field producing unit that is disposed on an outer surface of the lens tube and that is movable in the direction of the optic axis; and a wire member that has one end thereof attached to the magnetic field producing unit, and that is operative to move the magnetic field producing unit in the direction of the optic axis. The magnetic field producing unit includes two magnetic field producing members disposed with a predetermined gap therebetween in the direction of the optic axis, the magnetic body is disposed opposed to the predetermined gap within the lens tube, and the movable lens is moved by any one of deformation and movement of the wire member.
