    Abstract: A piezoelectric actuator part which generates a driving force to rotate a mirror part about a rotation axis includes a first actuator part and a second actuator part having a both-end supported beam structure in which base end parts on both sides in an axial direction of the rotation axis are fixed. The first actuator part has a first electrode part and second electrode parts. The second actuator part has third electrode parts and a fourth electrode part. The arrangement of the each electrode part constituting an upper electrode corresponds to a stress distribution of principal stresses in a piezoelectric body during resonance mode vibration, and a piezoelectric portion corresponding to positions of the first electrode part and the third electrode parts and a piezoelectric portion corresponding to positions of the second electrode parts and the fourth electrode part generate stresses in opposite directions.

    Abstract: In a mirror drive device, a first and second actuator sections are arranged on both sides of a mirror supporting section that supports a mirror section so as to sandwich the mirror supporting section. Division of an upper and lower electrodes of each of the first and second actuator sections is performed correspondingly to stress distribution of principal stresses in a piezoelectric body in resonant mode vibration, and a piezoelectric body portion corresponding to positions of a first and third upper electrode sections, and a piezoelectric body portion corresponding to positions of a second and fourth upper electrode sections have stresses in opposite directions to each other. Division of the lower electrodes is performed similar to the upper electrodes, and drive voltages having the same phase can be respectively applied to the upper and lower electrode sections of the piezoelectric body portions that are different due to a division arrangement.
