Abstract:
An optical scanner includes: a movable body that is able to oscillate around a first axis; a first shaft member that is connected to the movable body along the first axis; and a drive unit that includes a permanent magnet, a coil that generates a magnetic field by application of voltage, and a voltage applying section that applies a voltage to the coil and oscillates the movable body around the first axis, wherein the movable body includes a light reflecting plate provided with a light reflecting section having light reflectivity, a support frame that surrounds the light reflecting plate and has a thickness that is, ten times or less, larger than the thickness of the light reflecting plate, and a plurality of connecting sections that connects the light reflecting plate and the support frame at a plurality of locations.
