But, as mentioned above, when the position between the CCD of flexible board 200 connector 201 and treatment circuit connector 204 relation changes, reverse and stretch to be created in knifeedge and extend in the connector 205 and uncertain.Therefore, can not ignore kinetic reacting force by CCD solid-state image sensing device 101.In order to address this problem, one of them solution is to make treatment circuit connector 204 and stationary cylinder 10 to be fixed into one.But when above-mentioned change in location occurred, treatment circuit connector 204 produced strain with respect to the fixed position, and this further produces slight deformation and strain in extending connector 205.
On the other hand, above the bending of embodiment of the present invention is had been described in detail.As shown in Figure 19, extend connector 205 and comprise first extension 208 of extending abreast with X-Y plane, see and first extension, 208 adjacency and second extension 209 from CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 along the z axis direction parallel towards the object guiding extension with optical axis, with second extension 209 in abutting connection with and be parallel to the 3rd extension 210 that X-Y plane extends, see the 4th extension of extending along the z axis direction towards object orientation with the 3rd extension 210 adjacency and from CCD solid-state image sensing device 101, with the 4th extension 211 in abutting connection with and be parallel to the 5th extension 212 that X-Y plane extends and with the 5th extension 212 in abutting connection with and on seeing away from the direction of object from CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 along the 6th extension 213 that the z axis direction is extended, thereby the treatment circuit connector 204 that will be connected with connector CON is provided with continuously by its end.
The plane parallel with Y-Z is arranged in second extension 209, and the plane parallel with X-Z is arranged in the 4th extension 211.Flexible board 200 is divided into the first second extension connector 207 that extends connector 206 and locate in the bottom of first extension 208.The first extension connector 206 and second extends connector 207 and unifies at 213 places, the 6th extension.When folding, it is almost completely overlapping that the first extension connector 206 and second extends connector 207.Therefore, between first extension 208 and the 6th extension, it is upwards overlapping with the second extension connector 207 as shown in the figure that the first extension connector 206 and second extends connector 207, extends connector 205 thereby form as mentioned above.
Figure 22 demonstrate according to the embodiment of the present invention the bight 10b of stationary cylinder 10 when stationary cylinder 10 (being also referred to as " stationary cylinder ") is removed flexible board 200 and near.The one side of its two sides by the bonding adhesive boards 300 of double sticky tape is attached on the outside surface of part 10b of stationary cylinder 10.The part of the 6th extension 213 of flexible board 200 is attached on the another side of adhesive boards 300.Like this, by adhesive boards 300 the 6th extension 213 is fixed on the bight 10b of stationary cylinder 10.
Figure 23 demonstrates the bight 10b that is pasted with the stationary cylinder 10 of flexible board 200 on it by adhesive boards 300.The part at the back side of the 6th extension 213 is connected on the stationary cylinder 10 by adhesive boards 300.This make win to the 5th extension 208-212 except the 6th extension 213 freely the motion and can not be subjected to reacting force.When directions X moved, the 6th extension 213 can absorb and reduce during movement the reacting force along directions X, because second extension 209 mainly changes at CCD solid-state image sensing device 101.Equally, at CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 when the Y direction is moved, because the 4th extension 211 mainly changes, so the 4th extension 211 can absorb and reduces reacting force along the Y direction.
In this case, will with the 6th extension 213 in abutting connection with and printing board PCB will be installed in treatment circuit connector 204 on the stationary cylinder 10 and will be connected on the CON time, because the 6th extension 213 fixes this fact in advance, be used to absorb the second and the 4th extension 209 of reacting force and 211 extension 206-213 can not occur because position and the change of shape that causes is installed so comprise.Therefore, can effectively prevent the degradation that causes based on fitting operation.
As mentioned above, the relative position that connects the stationary cylinder 10 of CCD connector 201 thereon of relative position of the PCB that connects with treatment circuit connector 204 can change bigger and unstable.On the other hand, according to flexible board according to the present invention 200 than at the 6th extension 213 more close PCB on the stationary cylinder 10 of being fixed on shown in Figure 19 and 23.The part of extending between the 6th extension 213 and the treatment circuit connector 204 and treatment circuit connector 204 be right after with bending before PCB is connected, thereby form ribbon respectively.Therefore, X-Y direction and Z direction that these parts trend towards respectively shown in the figure change, with the displacement of easy these directions of absorption.Specifically, near the end that be connected and can effectively absorb relatively large displacement with PCB.
Therefore, flexible board 200 according to the present invention can be connected on the unsettled PCB in its position smoothly owing to its flexibility.Flexible board 200 any variation can not occur aspect the relative position than the part that is adhesively fixed on the 6th extension 213 more close CCD connectors 201 on the stationary cylinder 10 by adhesive boards 300 except image blurring suppresses motion.PCB changes by adhesive boards 300 absorptions with respect to the relative position of the position of stationary cylinder 10.Therefore, suppressed any influence of reacting force.
The sweep that extends 208 to the 6th extensions 213, first extension of connector 205 forms along z axis at 10b place, the bight of stationary cylinder 10.Therefore, the environment space that is used for lens barrel generally forms circle, and promptly the bight 10b of stationary cylinder 10 can effectively obtain using.In addition, owing to be provided with crooked extension, so digital camera need not large scale.
Flexible board 200 has such structure, wherein extends connector 205 and has the symmetric shape that the first extension connector 206 and second extends connector 207, and the two all separates and can fold.Therefore, under the situation that does not increase the width dimensions that extends connector 205, can increase signalling channel quantity.In addition, sweep can be formed in the finite space at the 10b place, bight that is arranged in stationary cylinder 10.Therefore, under the situation of signalling channel negligible amounts, needn't be provided with second and extend connector 207.
The anti-bending accessory plate that is provided with flexible board 200 has prevented to produce bending by 208 to second extensions, first extension from the CCD connector 201 of flexible board 200, and the power that will be produced by the motion of installation step is applied on second extension 209 and the 4th extension 211.Therefore, can absorb reacting force reliably in these bend offices.
(second embodiment)
As mentioned above, because extend from CCD coupling part 201 in identical plane first extension 208, comprise the part corresponding so CCD coupling part 210 can extend to, thereby omitted first extension 208 basically with first extension 208.Therefore, second extension 209 can constitute by rectangular bending directly extends towards object from CCD coupling part 201, and is shown as flexible board 200 ' according to this structure of second embodiment of the invention in Figure 24.
More particularly, directly extend with parallel plane second extension 209 ' of Y-Z from CCD coupling part 201 ' along the z axis direction, and extend along the z axis direction via the 3rd extension 210 ' with parallel plane the 4th extension 211 ' of X-Z, thereby reacting force is mainly absorbed by second extension 209 ' and the 4th extension 211 '.
In addition, can extend from CCD coupling part 201 ' along the z axis direction with parallel plane first extension 208 ' of Y-Z, and extend along the z axis direction via second extension 209 ' parallel with parallel plane the 3rd extension 210 ' of X-Z, thereby reacting force can mainly be absorbed by first extension 208 ' and the 3rd extension 210 ' with X-Y plane.

Use coil COL1 " installation step 15 is moved along directions X, and use coil COL2 " installation step 15 is moved along the Y direction.
Here, voltage Vh1-, Vh2-are applied to respectively on Hall unit H1, the H2, and be output as zero and when also having CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 to be arranged in the middle position (source point) of movable area, the detection output-voltage levels of Hall unit H1, H2 is configured to Vh1, Vh2 in the detection of rotation sensor S1B, S2A.In this case, the analog electrical output voltage level of input port L1, the L2 of processor 104 is configured to V1ADin, V2ADin respectively.Actual measurement goes out these output-voltage levels V1ADin, V2ADin.
According to rigging error coefficient and coil COL1 about the mechanical location between magnet (permanent magnet) 16a-16d and Hall unit H1, H2 relation ", COL2 " change output-voltage levels (actual measurement numerical value) V1ADin, V2ADin with respect to the rigging error coefficient between the installation site of installation step 15 etc.In addition, output-voltage levels changes according to the characteristic of Hall unit H1, H2.
Therefore, if do not proofread and correct, the detection numerical value of then corresponding with origin position Hall unit H1, H2 changes corresponding to camera; Therefore, can not carry out accurate image blurring suppresses.
Therefore, input to so setting of correction voltage Vr1 ', Vr2 ' of operational amplifier OP1, OP2 respectively from analog/digital converter IC2, thereby output-voltage levels V1ADin, V2ADin before proofreading and correct become constant voltage level (setting reference voltage level).More particularly, CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 be in the origin position and CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 when not being controlled (give coil member COL1 ", COL2 " during power supply), set correction voltage Vr1 ', Vr2 ' according to proofreading and correct in a kind of like this mode of variation of output-voltage levels (detection numerical value) V1ADin, V2ADin.

This is provided with before being initially set in loading, and is the final inspection that is used to assemble camera in factory, as the same as shown in the process flow diagram of Figure 29 (reference S.21-S.23).
As shown in the process flow diagram of Figure 30, in the working control that image blurring suppresses, processor 104 loads by detection output OUT1, OUT2 according to the camera shake testing circuit and calculates the control referential data (S.31) that obtains, and loads the physical location corresponding voltage level V1ADin, the V2ADin that are obtained by Hall unit H1, H2 then; Thus, processor 104 calculates the difference (S.33) between control referential data and position corresponding voltage numerical value V1ADin, V2ADin.
Processor 104 is exported to D/A conversion circuit IC1 according to the output of this difference with control data.Control voltage Vdac1, Vdac2 (S.34) that D/A conversion circuit IC1 output is corresponding with control data.Voltage Vdac1, Vdac2 be will control and coil driver MD1, MD2 inputed to.Coil driver MD1, MD2 export to COL1 respectively with driving voltage Vout1, Vout2 ", COL2 ".
Set driving voltage Vout1, Vout2 according to following equation.
Vout1=(Vdac1-Vr)*K
Vout2=(Vdac2-Vr)*K
Here, Vr is a dividing potential drop.
In this case, referential data K is the proportionality constant based on dividing potential drop Vr.
By magnet 16a-16d and coil COL1 ", COL2 " magnetic field attract and repel CCD solid-state image sensing device 101, thereby make it along moving by the direction of driving voltage Vout1, the Vout2 control of positive voltage or negative voltage.Changed the detection numerical value of Hall unit H1, H2 thus.Position corresponding voltage level V1ADin, V2ADin change corresponding to the variation in detecting numerical value, and position corresponding voltage level is fed back to processor 104, therefore when the detection output numerical value by the camera shake testing circuit changed the control referential data, CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 can be followed target location (S.35) smoothly.If finished shooting, then finish this control (S.36).
(alternate embodiment)
Figure 31 is a circuit diagram, demonstrates the alternate embodiment of feedback circuit 50.In this case, the driving that processor 104 comes control coil driver MD4 by PWM (pulse-length modulation control) is so that coil COL1 is given in control ", COL2 " distribution.More particularly, normal direction signal CON1 and inverse direction signal CON2 are inputed to coil actuator MD4, and input pulse voltage Vin1 and Vin2.Give coil COL1 ", COL2 " distribution voltage elongated and increase along with the duration of high level pulse signal.
(by suppressing the details that mechanism takes)
As shown in Figure 32, suppress switch SW 14 (S.41) if open, rotation sensor S1B, S2A connect (S.42).Push (S.43) to finish partly if push release-push SW1, then begin to carry out automatic focus operation (focusing operation) (S.44).Simultaneously, the mechanical forced of installation step 15 is fixedly unclamped, and by giving coil COL1 ", COL2 " distribution begins the retentive control of CCD central authorities.
Next, begin to carry out the observation process (S.45) of camera shake.Processor 104 determines whether partly pushing of release-push SW1 continues (S.46).If release-push SW1 partly pushes continuation, then processor 104 determines whether to carry out the pushing entirely of release-push SW1 (S.47).If unclamp partly pushing of release-push SW1, then S.43 this flow process gets back to step, and if do not carry out pushing entirely of release-push SW1, then S.46 this flow process gets back to step.
If release-push SW1 pushes end entirely, then begin follow (S.48) of CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 along the direction of motion of image.Next, carry out exposure (S.49).If finished exposure (S.50), then stop to follow of CCD solid-state image sensing device 101, by to coil COL1 ", COL2 " carry out distribution and control and make installation step 15 turn back to origin position (S.51), determine whether installation step 15 turns back to origin position (S.52), and CCD is forced to be fixed on (S.53) on the origin position according to mechanical mode.
There are two kinds of patterns in the operation timing of release-push SW1.
Figure 33 is the sequential chart that is used for suppressing the process of image blurring under the situation of pushing entirely of release-push SW1.In this case, push entirely and mean that unclamp operation has the uncontinuity from half pressing operation of release-push SW1 to the full pressing operation of release-push SW1, for example switches to the shooting operation that exposure begins to operate in the correct moment after half pressing operation.
If partly push release-push SW1, then begin the focusing operation of digital camera.In this state, the pressure that initial point forces maintaining body 1263 also not discharge installation step 15 keeps.Give COL1 ", COL2 " power supply, promptly these coils do not have conducting.In addition, installation step 15 is mechanically anchored in middle position, and the object image is shown on the LCD monitor 10.
If finished focusing operation, then processor 104 begins to force the stepper motor STM1 power supply of maintaining body 1263 to initial point.The mechanical forced that has discharged installation step 15 thus keeps.Simultaneously, begin to coil COL1 ", COL2 " power supply, promptly electric current is by these coils, and by to giving coil COL1 ", COL2 " inhibition controlled during half pressing operation (discharging 1) that carries out at release-push SW1 of power supply operates.If release-push SW1 is pushed entirely (discharge 2), then by to giving COL1 ", COL2 " powering to control makes installation step 15 turn back to middle position again, does not demonstrate the object image thereby cut off LCD monitor 110 then after some times.
Next, if installation step 15 is followed image according to camera shake motion is then controlled in the exposure of beginning still image.If finish still image exposure, then according to giving coil COL1 ", COL2 " power supply controls and makes installation step 15 turn back to middle position.Next, processor 104 begins to force the stepper motor STM1 of maintaining body 1263 to carry out distribution to initial point.The mechanical forced of carrying out installation step 15 is fixed thus, stops then to coil COL1 ", COL2 " power supply.
As mentioned above, even under the situation of camera shake, the user can identify LCD monitor 110 to discharge detected object image under the situation that is not having camera shake during 1.
In addition, if installation step 15 turns back to middle position during discharging 2, then move with respect to the object composition that is discharging during 1 at the composition that discharges during 2.But, according to current embodiment, can turn back to again at installation step 15 and confirm the object image before and then taking in the state of middle position, therefore can and then before taking, confirm the composition (and then before exposure) of object image.
As shown in Figure 34, if release-push SW1 is partly pushed and under the situation of not pushing release-push SW1 entirely, unclamp partly pushing of release-push SW1, then begin focusing operation simultaneously with partly pushing.If finished focusing, then processor 104 begins to force the stepped voltage STM1 distribution of maintaining body 1263 to initial point; Thus, discharged the mechanical forced maintenance of installation step 15.Simultaneously, begin to COL1 ", COL2 " power supply, i.e. these coil conductings, and give coil COL1 by control ", COL2 " the power supply inhibition carrying out (discharging 1) during half pressing operation of release-push SW1 operates.
If during half pressing operation of release-push SW1, unclamped half pressing operation of release-push SW1, then according to giving to COL1 ", COL2 " control of carrying out of powering makes installation step 15 turn back to middle position.Next, processor 104 begins to force the stepper motor STM1 power supply of maintaining body 1263 to initial point; Thus, carry out the mechanical fixation and the maintenance of installation step 15.Next, stop to coil COL1 ", COL2 " power supply.
Figure 35 is a sequential chart, demonstrates the process of inhibition when pushing release-push SW1 entirely when once taking.In this case, pushing entirely when once taking means the successional releasing operation of half pressing operation that has from release-push SW1 (discharging 1) to the full pressing operation (discharging 2) of release-push SW1, and for example horse back switches to the shooting operation that exposes and begin to operate partly pushing after.If SW1 partly pushes with release-push, then begin digital focusing operation in succession.The object image is presented on the LCD monitor 110.In addition, and then after partly the pushing of release-push SW2, carry out the full pressing operation of release-push SW1 at once.Simultaneously, cut off LCD monitor 110 so that can not demonstrate the object image.
If finished focusing operation, then processor 104 begins to force the stepper motor STM1 power supply of maintaining body 1263 to initial point; Thus, removed the machinery maintenance of installation step 15.Simultaneously, begin to coil COL1 ", COL2 " power supply, promptly described coil is switched on, and by to coil COL1 ", COL2 " powering remains on middle position with installation step 15.Therefore, carried out process of inhibition.
If by giving coil COL1 ", COL2 " power supply remains on middle position with installation step 15 and begun the still image exposure, then controls installation step 15 to follow the motion of image according to camera shake.If finished the still image exposure, then according to coil COL1 ", COL2 " power supply control make installation step 15 turn back to middle position.Next, processor 104 begins to force the stepper motor STM1 power supply of maintaining body 1263 to initial point; Carry out the mechanical fixation and the maintenance of installation step 15 thus.Next, stop to COL1 ", COL2 " distribution.
Above-mentioned pushing entirely in the situation under once taking thought and finished the composition affirmation in the operating period that discharges 1, thereby need not to confirm block diagram in the operating period that discharges 2.Therefore, even thinking discharging under the situation that turns back to middle position during 2 again at installation step 15 also needn't carry out reaffirming of composition, therefore can simplify the inhibition control procedure.
And, owing to LCD monitor 110 disconnects during focusing operation, so can avoid battery drain.In addition, since absorption bar 35 (with reference to Fig. 9 A) can be adsorbed on magnet 16b, 16d last to fix when according to mechanical system installation step 15 pressures being pressed in origin position, so can control the vibration of installation step 15 along the z axis direction.In addition, it is last with so fixing that absorption bar 35 is adsorbed on magnet 16b, 16d, thereby even also can control the vibration of installation step 15 along the z axis direction under the situation that installation step 15 is not arranged on the origin position place.
At the imaging device that has the function that is used for suppressing image blurring according to the present invention, be in the digital camera, absorption bar 35 is adsorbed on permanent magnet 16c and the permanent magnet 16d, they along the z axis direction facing to absorption bar 35, constitute on the guiding step that comprises Y direction step 14 and directions X step thereby erecting bed 15 can be adsorbed on, that is to say, installation step 15 can be adsorbed on the directions X step 13.Therefore, the position of the installation step of seeing along the z axis direction 15 can be arranged on and guide (installation step 15 is by Y direction step 14 and directions X step 13 position contacting) in the step position contacting.Can avoid being installed in the vibration of CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 (imageing sensor) on Z-direction on the installation step 15.CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 can receive light by suitable focal length.
And, because absorption bar 35 intersects along each of directions X and coil COL1, COL1 ', that is to say each that extends across coil COL1, COL1 ', thus absorption bar 35 with image blurring between inhibition period the location independent of the installation step 15 that moves on the bottom member 11 be adsorbed on permanent magnet 16c and the permanent magnet 16d.Owing to installation step 15 is moved by the magnetive attraction between among each and the permanent magnet 16a-16d among each and coil member COL2, the COL2 ' in coil member COL1, COL1 ' each, so with the location independent of each absorption bar that intersects 35 among coil member COL1, the COL1 ' and installation step be adsorbed on permanent magnet 16c and the permanent magnet 16d because permanent magnet 16c and permanent magnet 16d can apply magnetive attraction to coil member COL1, COL1 ' with the location independent ground of installation step 15.
Absorption bar 35 crosses each center along directions X among coil COL1, the COL1 ' basically, and installation step 15 moves along the Y direction, and each the center among coil member COL1, the COL1 ' is basically as basic point.Thus, even also can between permanent magnet 16c and permanent magnet 16d, apply magnetive attraction under the situation that installation step 15 moves along the Y direction.
Because permanent magnet 16c and permanent magnet 16d facing to absorption bar 35 have more microscler shape along the Y direction, so even also can apply magnetive attraction under the situation that installation step 15 moves along the Y direction.
Absorption bar 35 crosses each among coil member COL1, the COL1 ', and is adsorbed on permanent magnet 16c and the permanent magnet 16d at the place, both sides of CCD solid-state image sensing device 101.Therefore, can installation step 15 be adsorbed on the guiding step not having under the situation of bias voltage, so that contact with the guiding step abreast with X-Y plane.Therefore, can avoid CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 shake to occur, thereby suitably receive the signal of object image along the z axis direction vertical with z axis direction (shooting optical axis).
And though in the above-described embodiment, absorption bar 35 constitutes each of crossing among coil member COL1, the COL1 ', so they can constitute each of crossing among coil member COL2, the COL2 ', and also only crosses coil member COL1.That is to say, the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned embodiment.
In the above-described embodiment, each among each among coil member COL1, the COL1 ' and coil member COL2, the COL2 ' is located on the installation step, and among the permanent magnet 16a to 16c each is located on the directions X step 13 that is included in the guiding step.But it can so constitute, thereby among the permanent magnet 16a to 16d each is located on the installation step 15, and among each and coil member COL2, the COL2 ' among coil member COL1, the COL1 ' each is located on the directions X step.That is to say, the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned embodiment.Among in coil member COL1, COL1 ' each and coil member COL2, the COL2 ' each is located under the situation on the directions X step, be located on the directions X step side promptly according to coil member COL1, COL1 ' and coil member COL2, COL2 ' in the absorption bar 35 that is provided with of at least one corresponding mode can be adsorbed among the permanent magnet 16a to 16d each.
In the above-described embodiment, absorption bar 35 is according to each setting of crossing among coil member COL1, the COL1 '.That is to say, the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned embodiment, and absorption bar 35 mainly need be adsorbed on the permanent magnet and (in this embodiment, be permanent magnet 16c and permanent magnet 16d), they are facing to absorption bar 35.Therefore, absorption bar 35 can be provided with according near the mode among each and coil member COL2, the COL2 ' that are arranged among coil member COL1, the COL1 ' each.
In the above-described embodiment, rotation sensor 1214 detect camera along the rotation of directions X and Y direction to detect the camera shake that in camera main-body (main body cover), occurs.That is to say, the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned embodiment, for example monitor that by handling image can carry out the detection of camera shake.
In the above-described embodiment, the guiding step constitutes by the Y direction step 14 that movably supports installation step 15 along the Y direction with along the directions X step 13 that directions X movably supports Y direction step.But, the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned embodiment, and can so constitute, thereby installation step 15 is movably supported along X-Y plane, and in camera main-body, fixed with respect to taking optical axis.
(the 3rd embodiment)
But, be used for treatment circuit and the image device that in imaging device, movably is controlled according to first and second embodiments for example the flexible board 200 and 200 ' that is connected of CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 have many folded parts to absorb reacting force.Therefore therefore, flexible board need be longer along its whole length, and comprise noise easily from the picture intelligence of image device.So the shape of folded part because long flexible board 200 and 200 ' and the many folded parts in flexible board 200 and 200 ' unstable, therefore easily with circumferential component appearance interference.
In these cases, in imaging device according to third embodiment of the invention, reduced the quantity of folded part, and shortened as far as possible whole length with prevent from image device for example the picture signal of CCD solid-state image sensing device comprise noise, and the shape of stable folded part, thereby avoided going wrong, for example circumferential component is interfered.
Figure 36 demonstrates the imaging device that has flexible board 400 according to third embodiment of the invention.As shown in Figure 36 to 39, comprise that according to the flexible board 400 of current embodiment CCD circumference coupling part 401, circuit connecting section divide 402 and extension 403 to 406.
Figure 36 is the skeleton view when the rear side of stationary cylinder 10 is seen, demonstrates the stationary cylinder part that CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 and cylinder unit 7 are installed on it, the flexible board 400 that is provided with the printing board PCB of F/E-IC102 and processor 104 and a part of CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 is connected with printing board PCB.Here, along optical axis direction extend and the axis of initial point that comprises image device corresponding to z axis, and the plane vertical with z axis is corresponding to X-Y plane.Figure 37 is the cut-open view in the Y-Z plane of Figure 36, and Figure 38 is an enlarged perspective, demonstrates the folding of flexible board 400 and upset shape, and Figure 39 be the detailed view of essential part, demonstrates in detail to rotate and the structure of installation flexible board 400.
In CCD circumference coupling part 401, though unclear demonstrating, but as in the first embodiment, connect pattern and be provided for making CCD solid-state image sensing device 101, each coil member COL and parts, for example electrical connections such as each parts of position detecting element 1252 on every side.
Circuit connecting section divide 402 have be connected with connector CON that F/E-IC102 is electrically connected on be connected pattern part, operational amplifier 1253 and coil actuator 1254 etc.Thus, the treatment circuit of digital camera system is electrically connected with CCD circumference coupling part 401 by extension 403 to 406.
The receiving surface of CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 is along being directed downwards and taking the object that is positioned at the below in the figure shown in Figure 37.CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 welds together with the CCD circumference coupling part 401 of flexible board 400.The circuit connecting section of flexible board 400 divides 402 to be connected with the connector CON of printing board PCB.Send to the processor 104 that is installed on the printing board PCB by connector CON from the electric signal of CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 outputs.Imaging device has image blurring and suppresses mechanism, this mechanism is used for detecting the image blurring that occurs in having the main body cover of imaging device, the distance that calculates visual intersection location from X-Y plane and z axis is as with reference to numerical value (desired value), and allows CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 follow because the motion of the object image that camera shake causes according to desired value.As mentioned above, following between this moving period, if by the reacting force compressing CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 from flexible board 400, then the performance below reduces.Therefore, need flexible board 400 to constitute the absorption reacting force.
Figure 38 demonstrates flexible board 400 in detail.Flexible board 400 comprises: first extension 403, and it extends along the directions X parallel with X-Y plane in this case; Second extension 404, it with first extension 403 in abutting connection with and along becoming about 90 degree folding to the direction of object guiding from CCD solid-state image sensing device 101, extend and Y direction shown in is in the figure extended along the z axis direction; The 3rd extension 405, it and second extension 404 in abutting connection with and folding and extend along the z axis direction and along directions X in the figure from second extension 404 with about 90 degree; And the 4th extension 406, it and the 3rd extension 405 in abutting connection with and folding about 90 degree, extend abreast with X-Y plane and divide 402 places to be connected with connector CON in the circuit connecting section of extending the end.In this case, between first extension 403 and second extension 404 with about 90 degree in folding a part of folded part, shape retaining member 411 for example sheet metal etc. is bonding by double sticky tape.And, between the 3rd extension 405 and the 4th extension 406 with about 90 degree in folding a part of folded part, shape retaining member 412 for example sheet metal etc. is bonding by double sticky tape.Shape retaining member 11 can be spent thereby make plastic yield remain on about 90 by the folding position relation that remains between first extension 403 and second extension 404.In addition, shape retaining member 12 can be spent thereby make plastic yield remain on about 90 for example by the folding position relation that remains between the 3rd extension 405 and the 4th extension 406.
Figure 39 demonstrates the state that is pasted with flexible board 400.If CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 moves along directions X, then second extension 404 mainly is out of shape, thereby can reduce the reacting force along directions X.Equally, if CCD solid-state image sensing device 101 moves along the Y direction, then the 3rd extension 405 mainly is out of shape, thereby can reduce along the reacting force of Y direction.
