Optical unit with shake correcting function

Abstract

Provided is an optical unit with a blur correction function, wherein even when a photoreflector and a drive mechanism for blur correction are provided in a movable module provided with an optical element, sizes in an optical axis direction and a direction crossing the optical axis direction can be prevented from increasing. In an optical unit () with a blur correction function, a drive mechanism () for blur correction is provided between the outer peripheral surface of an image capturing unit () and a fixed body () (upper cover ()), and a first photoreflector () and a second photoreflector () are provided between a bottom portion (substrate ()) of the image capturing unit () and the fixed body () (lower cover ()), between which a swing support () is provided. The first photoreflector () is provided in a position overlapping in the direction of an optical axis (L) with an axis line (X0) out of two axis lines (X0, Y0) when the image capturing unit () is swung, and the second photoreflector () is provide in a position overlapping in the direction of the optical axis (L) with the axis line (Y0).
