A blade driving device includes an opening forming member forming an opening portion, a pivotal member pivoting about the opening portion, blades configured to enter or exit from the opening portion upon receiving power transmitted from the pivotal member, a cover member arranged so that the pivotal member and the plurality of blades are located between the cover and the opening forming member, and engaging portions engaging the of blades with the opening forming member. The pivotal member comes into slidable contact with the engaging portions in a process of pivoting. A pivotal position of the pivotal member with respect to the opening forming member is defined by the engaging portions.

Miniaturization by simplification of a structure is achieved while suppressing a bound of an opening/closing blade and securing improvement of functionality. A blade opening/closing apparatus includes: a base body that includes an aperture; a driving body that is movably supported by the base body and is operated by a driving force of a drive source; an opening/closing blade that is moved by an operation of the driving body and opens/closes the aperture; and a braking body that controls a movement speed of the opening/closing blade via the driving body, the driving body including, on one surface thereof, an engagement portion that is to be engaged with the opening/closing blade and transmits the driving force to the opening/closing blade, the driving body including, on another surface thereof, a braked portion to which a braking force of the braking body is to be applied.

A light pass aperture module, in order along a central axis, includes a blade assembly and a cap. The blade assembly includes a plurality of blades. The blades form a light pass aperture, and the light pass aperture is variable in size with the central axis as a center. The cap covers the blade assembly. The cap has a through hole, and the through hole is disposed corresponding to the light pass aperture. The cap includes a surface level down structure. The surface level down structure is disposed corresponding to one of the blades, and the surface level down structure is closer to the one blade than the through hole.

A lens module including a base, a lens, a front cover, a first shielding plate set, a second shielding plate set, and a gasket is provided. The lens is disposed on the base. The front cover is rotatably disposed above the base and the lens, and the front cover has a first through hole. Each of the first shielding plate set and the second shielding plate set is pivoted on the base. The second shielding plate set and the first shielding plate set interfere with each other. The gasket is fixed in the first through hole and coupled to the second shielding plate set. The gasket has a second through hole. When the base and the front cover rotate relative to each other, the gasket rotates with the front cover and drives the first shielding plate set and the second shielding plate set to limitedly swing.

An adjustable aperture module includes a blade assembly, a fixed component connected to the blade assembly, a movable component connected to the blade assembly, and a driving mechanism. The blade assembly includes light-blocking blades overlapping one another in a circumferential direction surrounding a central axis and together forming a light pass aperture. The movable component is disposed corresponding to the fixed component. The driving mechanism is configured to rotate the movable component in the circumferential direction relative to the fixed component. The driving mechanism includes at least one coil assembly and at least one magnet arranged along the circumferential direction. The coil assembly includes at least two coils. The magnet is disposed on the movable component and includes at least one magnetic pole. The magnetic pole is disposed corresponding to the coil assembly and facing at least two coils of the coil assembly.
