Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A blade driving device according to the present invention includes: a substrate having an aperture; a first blade and a second blade which open and close the aperture; a first driving member which drives the first blade; a second driving member which drives the second blade; a first actuator which operates the first driving member; and a second actuator which operates the second driving member, wherein the first actuator and the second actuator extend along a first direction which intersects an axial direction of the aperture on a primary surface of the substrate and are arranged in a second direction which intersects the axial direction and the first direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A blade driving device comprising: a substrate having an aperture; a first blade and a second blade which open and close the aperture; a first driving member which drives the first blade; a second driving member which drives the second blade; a first actuator which operates the first driving member, the first actuator including a first rotor; and a second actuator which operates the second driving member, the second actuator including a second rotor, wherein the first actuator and the second actuator extend along a first direction which intersects an axial direction of the aperture on a primary surface of the substrate and are arranged on a same side of the aperture in a second direction which intersects the axial direction and the first direction, wherein the first rotor of the first actuator is disposed closer to an outer perimeter of the substrate along the first direction than an end portion of the second actuator opposite the second rotor and the second rotor of the second actuator is disposed closer to the outer perimeter of the substrate along the first direction than an end portion of the first actuator opposite the first rotor. 2. The blade driving device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first driving member and the second driving member is disposed to overlap an end portion of at least one of the first actuator and the second actuator when viewed in the axial direction. 3. The blade driving device according to claim 1 , wherein a first speed governing mechanism is interposed between the first rotor and the first blade, and a second speed governing mechanism is interposed between the second rotor and the second blade. 4. An optical apparatus comprising: a blade driving device comprising: a substrate having an aperture; a first blade and a second blade which open and close the aperture; a first driving member which drives the first blade; a second driving member which drives the second blade; a first actuator which operates the first driving member, the first actuator including a first rotor; and a second actuator which operates the second driving member, the second actuator including a second rotor, wherein the first actuator and the second actuator extend along a first direction which intersects an axial direction of the aperture on a primary surface of the substrate and are arranged on a same side of the aperture in a second direction which intersects the axial direction and the first direction, wherein the first rotor of the first actuator is disposed closer to an outer perimeter of the substrate along the first direction than an end portion of the second actuator opposite the second rotor and the second rotor of the second actuator is disposed closer to the outer perimeter of the substrate along the first direction than an end portion of the first actuator opposite the first rotor.
