LENS HOLDER, LENS DRIVING DEVICE, CAMERA DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lens holder that enables facilitation of arraying and winding a coil to the lens holder in a voice coil motor method type lens driving device having prescribed length in a vertical direction and having a coil mounted in an outer periphery, and enables suppression of the coil wound around the lens holder from being loosened, and to provide a lens driving device, a camera device, and an electronic device that employ the lens holder.SOLUTION: A lens holder includes: a part that is formed at a prescribed portion in a peripheral direction of an outer peripheral wall of a lens holder 4 to be wounded by a coil 5 and is different in an outer peripheral diameter between an upper direction and a lower direction; and a flange part 22 that protrudes outward in a radial direction from the outer peripheral wall of the lens holder 4. Out of the part different in the outer peripheral diameter between the upper direction and the lower direction, a large diameter part and the flange part 22 are disposed with a prescribed interval between the upper direction and the lower direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】上下方向に所定の長さを有し、外周にコイルが装着される、ボイスコイルモータ方式のレンズ駆動装置におけるレンズホルダへのコイルの整列巻を容易に行うことを可能とし、なおかつ、レンズホルダに巻回したコイルがガタつくことを抑制できるレンズホルダと、これが採用されているレンズ駆動装置、カメラ装置、並びに、電子機器を提供する。【解決手段】コイル５が巻きつけられるレンズホルダ４の外周壁の周方向における所定の箇所に形成された、上下方向の間で外周径が異なる部分と、レンズホルダ４の外周壁から半径方向外側へ突出した鍔部２２と、を備え、上下方向の間で外周径が異なる部分のうちの大径部と鍔部２２とは、上下方向で所定の間隔を空けて配置される。【選択図】図２
