However, the conventional light amount adjusting device 1 shown in FIG. 9 has an electromagnetic drive unit 3 independent of the arm 5 for operating the aperture blade 4. . Since the rotor magnet 14 of the electromagnetic drive unit 3 and the arm 5 are joined by the power transmission shaft 13, there is no other way than to incorporate the armature 5 in a state where the armature 5 protrudes from the substrate 6 having the aperture blade 4. This has been a factor that hinders the thinning of the entire light amount adjusting device 1. For this reason, it has been difficult to incorporate them into optical units such as small video cameras and digital cameras. The electromagnetic drive unit 3 must be provided with an exciting coil 11 around a rotor magnet 14. For this purpose, a step of separately manufacturing a coil frame 12 and winding a conductive wire around the coil frame 12 is required. Is required. However, in this step, the number of assembly parts is large, and the number of steps required for the operation is also large. Therefore, there is a problem that mass production is not suitable for mass production.

In addition, a portion in which a coil frame and a yoke which are separately formed as in the related art is disposed is omitted, and the entire light amount adjusting device can be reduced in size and thickness. Therefore, it can be mounted on a small optical device such as a video camera or a digital camera. In addition, since a plurality of light amount adjusting members are opened and closed by a single electromagnetic driving unit, driving force unevenness due to a difference in driving force of the electromagnetic driving unit, which tends to occur when an electromagnetic driving unit is configured separately as in the related art, is reduced. Therefore, the drive transmission force applied to each light amount adjusting member becomes uniform. For this reason, the optical axis shift of the light amount adjusting member that swings and changes with the exposure hole provided in the substrate is suppressed, and the light amount can always be appropriately adjusted.

As shown in FIG. 4, the magnet 33 has an NS magnetic pole surface which is magnetized and divided into two right and left poles.
The two magnets 33 are placed so as to face each other on both sides of the magnet, and a magnetic field B1 is generated by the two magnets 33 in the illustrated direction. On the other hand, arm 31
By supplying an electric current to the flat conductive coil 34 wound and arranged so as to surround the magnet 33 and the magnet 33, the coil attraction magnetic field B2 is induced in a direction perpendicular to the coil winding direction. The flat conductive coil 34, the arm 31, and the magnet 33 are disposed so that the magnetic field B1 generated by the two magnets 33 and the coil induced magnetic field B2 generated by the conductive coil 34 always intersect in the rotation allowable range φ1 to φ2 of the arm 31. ing. The magnetic field B1 generated by the two magnets 33 is equal to the magnetic field B induced by the conductive coil 34.
A rotational torque is applied to the magnet 33 so as to be along the direction 2. The arm 31 rotated by the rotation torque changes the direction of the coil magnetic field B2 by changing the current direction to the conductive coil 34 according to a preset throttle amount. As described above, the aperture amount can be adjusted by changing the direction in which the rotational torque of the arm 31 acts. The rotation torque generated in the arm 31 differs depending on the change in the moment at the position where the magnet 33 is placed.
Therefore, the position where the magnet 33 is placed is
As the distance from the center of rotation increases, the rotational torque increases,
The rotational torque becomes smaller toward the rotation center. By utilizing this, the opening / closing speed of the two diaphragm blades connected to the drive pins 46a and 46b can be adjusted.
