Abstract
The invention provides a lens transfer device including at least one lens and a lens barrel. The lens barrel has a lens receiving part with the lens arranged in an inner space thereof and an extension extending radially from an outer surface of the lens receiving part. An actuator has a body and an output member at a leading end of the actuator to contact the extension, and is adapted to expand/contract and bend in response to an external supply voltage to provide a driving force necessary for transfer of the lens barrel through the output member. A pressing member has a free end contacting a rear end of the actuator to force the actuator against the extension, and a guide guides the transfer of the lens barrel along an optical axis.
