Abstract:
It is desired to reduce deformation of reflecting surfaces of a rotatable polygon mirror that is formed by using resin molding. The rotatable polygon mirror that is formed by resin molding is provided with recesses.

Claim (Index 7):
A light deflector comprising:\n a rotatable polygon mirror that is formed by resin molding and has reflecting surfaces that deflect laser light; and a support member that supports the rotatable polygon mirror, wherein the rotatable polygon mirror is provided with a hole and the hole has an inner surface that surrounds the support member, the inner surface includes a plurality of protruding portions that protrude from the inner surface toward a rotation center of the rotatable polygon mirror and are in contact with the support member, and the rotatable polygon mirror has recesses that are (i) recessed in a rotational axis direction of the rotatable polygon mirror and (ii) provided at symmetrical positions with respect to a straight line that passes through a portion at which each of the protruding portions is in contact with the support member and a corresponding one of the corner portions at which adjacent reflecting surfaces of the rotatable polygon mirror are joined to each other as viewed in the rotational axis direction.
