1. An optical path conversion module, comprising:
an optical path converter configured to reflect or refract light, incident along a first optical axis, in a direction of a second optical axis, intersecting the first optical axis;
a first driving unit disposed on a side surface of the optical path converter, and configured to generate a driving force to rotate the optical path converter about a first rotation axis, intersecting the second optical axis;
a second driving unit disposed on the side surface of the optical path converter, and configured to generate a driving force to rotate the optical path converter about a second rotation axis, intersecting the second optical axis; and
a first position sensor disposed outside of a driving coil of the first driving unit and a second position sensor disposed inside of a driving coil of the second driving unit,
wherein an edge portion of a first driving magnet of the first driving unit is configured to have a chamfered shape,
wherein the first driving magnet is polarized along a first direction and a second driving magnet of the second driving unit is polarized along a second direction that intersects the first direction, and
wherein a length of the first driving magnet along the first direction is greater than a width of the second driving magnet along the second direction.
