Abstract
Because a thin blade is disposed in a space that has a thickness in the optical axial direction, which contains a coil and a magnet, when the blade is driven the blade tends to become unstable, making smooth operation of the thin blade difficult. A blade driving device has a driving member; a frame that is provided with a driving frame chamber that contains the driving member; a blade supporting unit that has an opening and that structures a blade chamber that is separate from the driving frame chamber; and a blade member that is contained in the blade chamber, and that is moved by the driving member to advance into the opening.
