There is provided a flat type piezoelectric ultrasonic motor for generating a rotation force to a rotor by ultrasonic vibrations. In the piezoelectric ultrasonic motor, a vibrator is formed of elastic material at a given size, a plurality of piezoelectric plates are attached on the vibrator, a rotor is drivingly connected to the vibrator thereby to be rotated, and a power source unit applies driving voltages to the piezoelectric plates. The piezoelectric plates are arranged on quartered surface areas of the vibrator in such a way that longitudinal axes of neighboring piezoelectric plates form a given angle therebetween and opposing piezoelectric plates have opposite polarizations, and the power source unit applies alternating driving voltages to the piezoelectric plates thereby to make the rotor rotated, thereby making it possible to simplify the piezoelectric plates' shape, minimize its size and enhance its driving efficiency.

Provided is a compact lens module which enables zoom and auto-focus functions even in a small lens module by providing a lens carrying structure using a supersonic driving unit. A lens unit is positioned in a case and has at least one lens. A carrying member is rotatably connected in the case and connected to the lens unit so that the lens unit may move forward and backward. In addition, a driving unit is mounted in the case for transferring a driving force to the carrying member so as to move the lens unit by repeatedly contacting and non-contacting with the carrying member.
