`
`1. A linear vibration motor comprising:
`a stationary element,
`a movable element that is supported elastically, so as to enable vibration along an
`aXial direction, on the stationary element, and
`a driving portion for causing the movable element to undergo reciprocating vibration
`along the aXial direction, through the provision of a coil on the stationary element, the
`provision of a driving magnet on the movable element, and the application of an electric
`current to the coil while the driving magnet is attracted by magnetic material that is
`provided on the stationary element side of the coil, wherein:
`the stationary element is provided with a stationary magnet that is magnetized in a
`direction that is perpendicular to the aXial direction, and
`the movable element is provided with a movable magnet that opposes, while
`repelling, the stationary magnet.
`
`2. A linear vibration motor as set forth in Claim 1, wherein:
`the stationary magnet or the movable magnet is provided extending along the aXial
`direction.
`
`3. A linear vibration motor as set forth in Claim 1 or Claim 2, wherein:
`
`the movable element is borne, in the aXial direction of the movable element, on one
`end side in a direction that is perpendicular to the aXial direction in the movable element,
`so as to be able to slide on a guide shaft that is disposed along the aXial direction, and the
`movable magnet is equipped on the other end side, in the direction that is perpendicular
`to the aXial direction, in the movable element.
`
`4. A linear vibration motor as set forth in any one of Claim 1 through 3, wherein:
`in the movable element, the dimension in the thickness direction, which is
`perpendicular to the aXial direction, is less than the dimension in the width direction,
`which is perpendicular to the aXial direction, and the movable magnet is magnetized in
`the thickness direction.
`
`5. A linear vibration motor as set forth in any one of Claim 1 through 4, wherein:
`the stationary element comprises a supporting plate of a magnetic material, and the
`coil and the stationary magnet are provided over the supporting plate.
`
`6. A mobile electronic device comprising a linear vibration motor as set forth in any
`one of Claim 6 through 1.
