Abstract:
1. An optical scanning device, comprising: a substrate; a torsion bar portion which is connected to the substrate; a mirror portion which is supported by the torsion bar portion; a drive source which causes the substrate to oscillate; and a light source which projects light onto the mirror portion, wherein the mirror portion resonates and vibrates in accordance with a vibration imparted to the substrate by the drive source, and a direction of reflection light from the light projected onto the mirror portion from the light source changes in accordance with the vibration of the mirror portion, and wherein the drive source is provided on a portion of the substrate at a distance from a connected portion where the substrate is connected to the torsion bar portion, and a substrate shape control device which controls the shape of the substrate itself is provided on the substrate.
