ABSTRACT:
In a zoom lens unit, substrate are arranged to be faced to each other and are provided with first driving electrodes used to drive a first movable section and second driving electrodes used to drive a second movable section, respectively. A recessed portion is formed in the first movable section so as to face the second driving electrodes. A recessed portion is also formed in the second movable section so as to face the first driving electrodes. The first and second movable sections can be independently controlled to achieve a zoom operation.
