See full text

A lens drive apparatus that displaces a lens holder in a direction of an optical axis and a direction orthogonal to the optical axis comprises a drive section that displaces an assembly, which is formed by assembling a lens holder displaceable in the direction of the optical axis together with a magnet disposed around the lens holder, in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis by the magnet and a coil disposed at a position facing the magnet in collaboration with each other; a base that serves as a bottom of a housing that houses the assembly; and a Hall device that is provided to the base and detects a position of the magnet in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis.
