Abstract
A lens drive device includes a movable portion, a fixed portion, and four suspension wires. The movable portion has a lens holder holding a lens and a magnet arranged at a position that does not overlap with the lens when viewed from a light axis direction. The fixed portion has a coil and a position sensor arranged to oppose against the magnet in the light axis direction and a circuit board having multiple wirings. The wires are arranged around the lens at approximately equal intervals in the light axis direction. The sensor and the coil are arranged to overlap with four sides of a four-sided polygon formed by connecting four wire connection positions where the wires are connected with the fixed portion. The sensor is arranged between the wire connection position closest to the sensor and the coil closest thereto.
