Abstract
A stage apparatus includes a stationary support plate, magnetic force generators immovable relative to the stationary support plate, a stage member, an image sensor fixed to the stage member, a control circuit board connected to a side of the stage member, and coils which produce a driving force upon a supply of electric current thereto, the coils being fixed to the stage member at an opposite side of the center of the stage member with respect to the control circuit board, and a FPC board between the stationary support plate and the stage member. The stationary support plate is recessed, from a lateral edge of the stationary support plate at which the control circuit board is provided, in a direction toward the coils and includes an FPC board escape recess, in which said FPC board is partially positioned.
