Patent attributes
An optical unit with a shake correction function includes a movable body having a lens, a turning support mechanism structured to turnably support the movable body around an optical axis of the lens, a gimbal mechanism structured to turnably support the turning support mechanism, a fixed body which supports the movable body through the gimbal mechanism and the turning support mechanism, a shake correction magnetic drive mechanism, and a rolling correction magnetic drive mechanism. The turning support mechanism includes a plate roll fixed to the movable body, a plate holder provided with a facing part which faces the plate roll in a direction of the optical axis, and a turning mechanism which is provided between the plate roll and the facing part and is structured so that the plate roll is turnable with respect to the plate holder. The gimbal mechanism turnably supports the plate holder around the first axis.
