Abstract

See full text

The driving apparatus comprises a vibrating body which includes an electro-mechanical energy conversion device, and drives a vibration-wave motor which moves the vibrating body and a driven body relatively to each other. The electro-mechanical energy conversion device has sensor electrodes that output detecting signals corresponding to vibrations of the vibrating body. Based on the detecting signals, the driving apparatus determines a direction in which the vibrating body and the driven body are to be moved relatively to each other.
