Problems solved by technology

However, when the beam inside the outermost beam breaks and the outermost beam moves as usual, abnormality cannot be detected from the sensor output.
In addition, the sensor is arranged on the inner side of the outermost beam. In this case, abnormality can be detected, but the number of wiring lines increases according to the number of sensors, and the width of the beam needs to be increased accordingly.

[0067] Figure 7 It is a plan view showing an upper surface side of an example of the optical scanning unit of the optical scanning device of the third embodiment. In addition to providing a resistance change type temperature measuring resistor 28 on the path of the fault detection wiring pattern 10, and figure 1 The optical scanning section shown is the same. Figure 7 In the optical scanning unit of, a temperature measuring resistor 28 is provided on the movable frame 160 on the path of the failure detection wiring pattern 10. Normally, the resistance value of the failure detection wiring pattern 10 including the temperature measuring resistor 28 is monitored and used for the measurement of the temperature of the optical scanning unit. When the wiring pattern 10 for failure detection is broken and conduction is not detected, it is determined that breakage of the driving beam has occurred. As the temperature measuring resistor 28, a resistance variable thermistor can be used. ...

Abstract

The invention provides an actuator and a light scanning device. In a MEMS structure functioning as an actuator, the breakage of a beam can be detected regardless of whether a displacement sensor is present or not. The actuator according to the present invention includes an actuation object; an actuating beam supporting the actuation object; a fixing frame supporting the actuating beam; an actuation source configured to cause the actuation object to oscillate around a predetermined axis, by actuating the actuating beam; and a wiring pattern for failure detection drawn on the actuating beam, andhaving a terminal disposed on the fixing frame.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a driver and an optical scanning device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known an optical scanning device that uses an actuator in which an upper electrode is formed on the upper surface of a piezoelectric body and a lower electrode is formed on the lower surface, and a mirror portion that reflects incident light is rotated around a rotation axis to scan the reflected light. In this driver, in order to apply a voltage to the piezoelectric body, an upper wiring connected to the upper electrode and a lower wiring connected to the lower electrode are formed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] The driver constituting the optical scanning device described in Patent Document 2 has a corrugated structure having a plurality of beams. A sensor for acquiring displacement is provided on the outermost beam, and the displacement of the outermost beam can be detected by the signal of the sensor, thereby detec...
