Abstract
A driving device that has a movable part which is translationally and rotationally movable within a plane with respect to a fixed part and is capable of properly restricting the translational movement and the rotational movement of the movable part while preventing the movable part from protruding outward. The driving device includes an actuator that drives the movable part, a first restricting unit configured to restrict translational movement of the movable part, and a second restricting unit configured to restrict rotational movement of the movable part. The second restricting unit is arranged at a location more remote from a center of rotation of the movable part with respect to the fixed part than the first restricting unit.
