Abstract
A lens drive apparatus comprises: an assembly that is formed by assembling a lens holder together with a magnet holder that holds a magnet; a first drive section that displaces the lens holder in a direction of an optical axis in collaboration with the magnet and a first coil; and a second drive section that displaces the assembly in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis in collaboration with the magnet and a second coil, wherein the magnet holder comprises a hollow part that accommodates the magnet at a position facing both of the first coil and the second coil.
