`
`This listing of claims replaces all prior versions and listing of claims in the application.
`
`1. (Currently Amended) 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 fer—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. (Currently Amended) AT_he 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. (Currently Amended) AT_he linear vibration motor as set forth in Claim 1 er—Gl-ai—m—Z,
`
`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 a direction that is perpendicular to the aXial direction, in
`
`the movable element.
`
`4. (Currently Amended) AT_he linear vibration motor as set forth in arw—ene—ef—Claim l
`
`through—3, wherein:
`
`
`
`in the movable element, the a dimension in the a thickness direction, which is perpendicular
`
`to the axial direction, is less than the a dimension in the a width direction, which is perpendicular
`
`to the aXial direction, and the movable magnet is magnetized in the thickness direction.
`
`5. (Currently Amended) AT_he linear vibration motor as set forth in arw—ene—ef—Claim l
`
`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. (Currently Amended) AT_he mobile electronic device comprising a linear vibration motor
`
`as set forth in anyone—oi? Claim—é—thmugh l.
