- step S6 the microcomputer 24 performs focus evaluation based on the contrast at the step position, and stores it together with the temperature of the SMA 15 in step S5.
- step S7 the microcomputer 24 determines whether or not the current step position is the focus search end position. If the current step position is not the end position, the microcomputer 24 returns to step S3 to change to the next step position.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の実施の一形態に係る撮像装置におけるオートフォーカスレンズ駆動機構1の正面図(レンズ開口面から見た図)であり、図2は、その動作を説明するための側面図である。図2(a)は、SMA15がバイアスばね10の弾発力によって伸長している場合を示し、図2(b)は、SMA15がバイアスばね10の弾発力に抗して収縮している場合を示す。この駆動機構1は、レンズ2を、その軸線AX(前後)方向に変位させることで、フォーカス合せを行う。鏡筒4は、レンズ2と、レンズ駆動枠3とを備えて構成されており、レンズ2は、レンズ駆動枠3に取付けられている。鏡筒4の外周面において、前端(前記前後方向における前端)には一対の突出部5が形成されており、その突出部5が形状記憶合金アクチュエータ11のアーム部12に引っ掛けられて、鏡筒4は、軸線AX(前後)方向に変位される。
図9は、前記SMAアクチュエータ11を駆動するための第2の駆動装置である制御回路31の電気的構成を示すブロック図である。この制御回路31は、抵抗値検出部32と、比較部33と、マイコン34と、画像センサ25と、駆動制御演算部26と、駆動素子27とを備えており、駆動素子27を介してSMA15に流れる駆動電流を制御している。この制御回路31は、前述の制御回路21に類似し、対応する部分には同一の参照符号を付して示し、その説明を省略する。ここで、本実施の形態2では、この制御回路31では、前記SMA15の伸縮に関するパラメータ、すなわち鏡筒4の位置を検出するパラメータとして、SMA15の抵抗値が用いられる。このため、SMA15の電極16間の抵抗値が抵抗値検出部32で検出され、その検出結果と、マイコン34から与えられる目標抵抗値とが比較部33で比較され、その比較結果に対応して前記駆動電流値が設定される。
