Patent ID: 7570406

Claim:
An actuator, comprising: a first vibration system including a driving member having a frame shape, and a pair of first axial members each one end of which supports the driving member so as to allow the driving member to rotate about an X-axis; a second vibration system including a movable plate provided inside the driving member, and a pair of second axial members each one end of which supports the movable plate so as to allow the movable plate to rotate about a Y-axis perpendicular to the X-axis; a driving unit including a ferromagnetic member, a coil acting a magnetic field on the ferromagnetic member and a voltage applying unit applying a voltage to the coil, either one of the ferromagnetic member and the coil being disposed at a position on the driving member apart from each of the X and Y-axes in a plan view of the movable plate; and a positioning portion that is disposed to the driving member and determine a fixing position of the ferromagnetic member or the coil with respect to the driving member, wherein the movable plate rotates about each of the X and Y-axes by the voltage applying unit applying a voltage to the coil.
