Abstract

See full text

An optical unit may include an optical module; a fixed body including a body part surrounding the optical module; a gimbal mechanism swingably supporting the optical module around a first axial line and a second axial line intersecting the optical axis direction and the first axial line; a shake correction drive mechanism including a coil and a magnet between a side face of the optical module and a side face of the body part; and a plate-shaped spring which is connected with the optical module and the fixed body to determine posture of the optical module when the shake correction drive mechanism is set in a stopped state. When viewed in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, the gimbal mechanism and the plate-shaped spring may be provided at positions overlapping with the shake correction drive mechanism.
