Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mirror unit. [Background technology]

[0002] A known mirror unit includes an optical scanning device having a mirror surface provided on a movable part, a frame member arranged to surround the optical scanning device, and a flat window member that closes an opening of the frame member (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Light enters the mirror surface from the outside through the window member, is reflected by the mirror surface, and is emitted to the outside through the window member. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-215352 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the mirror unit described in Patent Document 1, one of a pair of opposing walls constituting a frame member is formed to be higher than the other, and a window member arranged on the frame member is inclined with respect to the mirror surface. When the window member is inclined with respect to the mirror surface, the direction in which light reflected by the window member travels can be made different from the direction in which light reflected by the mirror surface travels, and the light reflected by the window member can be prevented from becoming noise light.

[0005] On the other hand, in a configuration in which a movable part provided with a mirror surface is swung to scan light, such as the mirror unit described above, the angle of incidence of light to the window member increases depending on the angle of the mirror surface, and the refraction angle of light exiting from the window member increases. In particular, in a configuration in which the window member is inclined as described above, the angle of incidence of light to the window member increases even more. Therefore, in order to achieve high-precision optical scanning, it is necessary to consider the effect of refraction at the window member. Therefore, it is conceivable to suppress the effect of refraction at the window member by forming the window member thin to reduce the amount of refraction at the window member. However, if the window member is formed thin, the strength of the window member decreases and the window member becomes more susceptible to breakage. Therefore, it is required to suppress breakage of the window member. In addition, improvement of reliability is also required for the mirror unit described above.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a mirror unit capable of reducing noise light, suppressing damage to a window member, and improving reliability. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The mirror unit of the present invention includes an optical scanning device having a base, a movable part, and a mirror surface provided on the movable part, and is arranged on the base; a frame member arranged on the base so as to surround the optical scanning device when viewed from a first direction; a flat window member arranged on the frame member so as to cover an opening of the frame member; and a wiring section electrically connected to the optical scanning device, wherein the frame member has a first wall section and a second wall section facing each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a third wall section and a fourth wall section facing each other in a third direction perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction, and The height is greater than the height of the second wall portion, the window member is arranged on the top surface of the first wall portion and on the top surface of the second wall portion and is inclined with respect to the mirror surface, and if any one of the first wall portion, the second wall portion, the third wall portion and the fourth wall portion is a first reference wall portion, in a cross section passing through the mirror surface and perpendicular to the first reference wall portion, a first straight line passing through a first end of the mirror surface on the first reference wall portion side and a first corner formed on the first reference wall portion side by the outer surface of the window member opposite the frame member and the first side surface intersects with the first reference wall portion, and the wiring portion has a portion extending inside the base and is pulled out to the outside of the frame member.

[0008] In this mirror unit, the height of the first wall is higher than the height of the second wall, and the window member is disposed on the top surface of the first wall and on the top surface of the second wall, and is inclined with respect to the mirror surface. This allows the direction in which light reflected by the window member travels to differ from the direction in which light reflected by the mirror surface travels, and the light reflected by the window member can be prevented from becoming noise light. In addition, when any one of the first wall, the second wall, the third wall, and the fourth wall is set as the first reference wall, in a cross section passing through the mirror surface and perpendicular to the first reference wall, a first straight line passing through a first end of the mirror surface on the first reference wall side and a first corner portion formed on the first reference wall side by the outer surface and the first side surface of the window member intersects with the first reference wall. By configuring the first straight line to intersect with the first wall, the first reference wall is formed to be relatively thick with respect to the window member. This allows the window member to be supported by the first reference wall formed to be thick, and damage to the window member can be prevented. On the other hand, when the first reference wall is formed thick, it is possible to widen the thickness of the first reference wall toward the optical scanning device side from the viewpoint of miniaturization, but in that case, the area of ​​the part located inside the frame member on the base becomes narrow. If an attempt is made to form a wiring part for electrical connection with the optical scanning device in such a narrow part, there is a risk of a defect such as a short circuit occurring in the wiring part. In contrast, in this mirror unit, the wiring part has a part that extends inside the base and is drawn out to the outside of the frame member. By forming the wiring part inside the base in this way, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects such as a short circuit in the wiring part. In addition, compared to the case where the wiring part is formed so as to extend along the surface of the base between the base and the frame member, for example, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the wiring part and to suppress the wiring part from affecting the joint between the base and the frame member. Therefore, according to this mirror unit, it is possible to reduce noise light, suppress damage to the window member, and improve reliability.

[0009] The window member is joined to the frame member, and the thickness of the window member may be smaller than the width at which the window member and the frame member are joined together. In this case, the window member can be formed thin, and the effect of refraction at the window member can be suppressed.

[0010] If the one of the first wall portion, the second wall portion, the third wall portion, and the fourth wall portion that faces the first reference wall portion is defined as the second reference wall portion, in the above cross section, a second straight line passing through a second end of the mirror surface on the second reference wall portion side and a second corner portion formed on the second reference wall portion side by the outer surface and the second side surface of the window member may intersect with the second reference wall portion. In this case, since the second reference wall portion is formed to be relatively thick with respect to the window member, the window member can be supported by the thickly formed second reference wall portion, and damage to the window member can be more reliably suppressed.

[0011] The wiring portion may extend inside the base so as to overlap with the first reference wall portion when viewed from the first direction. If an attempt is made to draw out the wiring portion toward the first reference wall portion that is formed thick, the above-mentioned deterioration of the wiring portion is likely to occur, but in this mirror unit, since the wiring portion is formed inside the base, deterioration of the wiring portion can be reliably suppressed.

[0012] The wiring portion may have an electrode pad provided on the base in a region located inside the frame member when viewed from the first direction, and if one of the first, second, third and fourth walls facing the first reference wall is defined as a second reference wall, the distance between the optical scanning device and the first reference wall is longer than the distance between the optical scanning device and the second reference wall, and the electrode pad may be disposed on the base between the optical scanning device and the first reference wall. In this case, a space for disposing the electrode pad can be secured.

[0013] The first reference wall may be a first wall, and the second reference wall may be a second wall. In this case, since the first wall is farther away from the optical scanning device than the second wall, it is possible to prevent the first wall, which is taller than the second wall, from blocking the light from the mirror surface.

[0014] The wiring portion may be electrically connected to the optical scanning device in a first region located inside the frame member when viewed from the first direction, extend inside the base in a second region overlapping with the frame member when viewed from the first direction, and be drawn out to a third region located outside the frame member when viewed from the first direction. In this case, deterioration of the wiring portion described above can be more reliably suppressed. Effect of the Invention

[0015] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mirror unit capable of reducing noise light, suppressing damage to a window member, and improving reliability. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same or corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicated description will be omitted. [Overall configuration of mirror unit]

[0018] 1 to 3, the mirror unit 100 includes an optical scanning device 1 and a package 40 that houses the optical scanning device 1. The package 40 has a base 42, a frame member 43, and a window member 44.

[0019] The base 42 is formed in a rectangular plate shape from a non-magnetic material such as aluminum nitride or aluminum oxide. The base 42 has a main surface 42a and a back surface 42b opposite to the main surface 42a. The main surface 42a is a surface that constitutes a part of the inner surface of the package 40. A recess 42c is formed in the main surface 42a. A recess 42d is formed in the bottom surface of the recess 42c. The optical scanning device 1 is disposed on the base 42, more specifically, on the bottom surface of the recess 42c. A magnetic field generating unit (not shown) that generates a magnetic field acting on the first driving coil 11 and the second driving coil 12 of the optical scanning device 1 described later is disposed on the back surface 42b side of the base 42. The magnetic field generating unit is configured to include, for example, a permanent magnet in a Halbach array.

[0020] The frame member 43 is disposed on the main surface 42a so as to surround the optical scanning device 1 when viewed from the Z-axis direction (first direction) perpendicular to the main surface 42a of the base 42. The frame member 43 is formed in a rectangular frame shape from a non-magnetic material such as aluminum nitride or aluminum oxide.

[0021] The window member 44 is configured by forming anti-reflection films on both surfaces of a rectangular flat substrate made of a light-transmitting material such as glass. The window member 44 is disposed on the frame member 43 so as to cover one opening 43a of the frame member 43, and faces the base 42 and the optical scanning device 1 in the Z-axis direction. The window member 44 is bonded to the frame member 43 by a bonding material 45 such as low-melting point glass so as to hermetically seal the opening 43a.

[0022] The base 42 is joined to the frame member 43 by a joining material 46 such as low-melting point glass so as to airtightly seal the other opening 43b of the frame member 43. This hermetically seals the inside of the package 40. The base 42 and the frame member 43 may be integrally formed to constitute a single member.

[0023] The bonding using the bonding materials 45, 46 may be bonding using low melting point glass, or may be bonding using, for example, a resin adhesive, low temperature solder (Sn / Pb, Sn / Cu based), low temperature brazing material (Au / Sn alloy, Au / Ge alloy, etc.), high temperature brazing material (Ag based, etc.), projection welding, seam seal welding, laser welding, electron beam welding, etc. [Configuration of optical scanning device]

[0024] 5, the optical scanning device 1 has a support part 2 and a movable part 10 that can swing relative to the support part 2. The movable part 10 has a first movable part 3, a second movable part 4, a pair of first connecting parts 5, a pair of second connecting parts 6, and a mirror 7. The support part 2, the first movable part 3, the second movable part 4, the pair of first connecting parts 5, and the pair of second connecting parts 6 are integrally formed by, for example, an SOI (Silicon on Insulator) substrate. In other words, the optical scanning device 1 is configured as a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) device.

[0025] The first movable part 3 is formed, for example, in a rectangular plate shape. The second movable part 4 is formed, for example, in a rectangular ring shape so as to surround the first movable part 3 with a gap when viewed from the optical axis direction A. The support part 2 is formed, for example, in a rectangular frame shape so as to surround the second movable part 4 with a gap when viewed from the optical axis direction A. In other words, the support part 2 is formed in a frame shape so as to surround the first movable part 3 and the second movable part 4 when viewed from the optical axis direction A.

[0026] The first movable part 3 is connected to the second movable part 4 via a pair of first connecting parts 5 so as to be swingable around the first axis X1. That is, the first movable part 3 is supported by the support part 2 so as to be swingable around the first axis X1. The first movable part 3 includes a first part 31 and a second part 32. The first part 31 is formed, for example, in a circular shape when viewed from the optical axis direction A. The second part 32 is formed, for example, in a rectangular ring shape when viewed from the optical axis direction A. The first part 31 is surrounded by the second part 32 when viewed from the optical axis direction A, and is connected to the second part 32 via a plurality of (two in this example) connecting parts 33. That is, a gap is formed between the first part 31 and the second part 32 except for the plurality of connecting parts 33.

[0027] The connecting portion 33 is located, for example, at the center of two sides of the rectangular inner edge of the second portion 32 that intersect with the second axis X2. That is, in this example, the connecting portion 33 is located on the second axis X2. It is sufficient that the first portion 31 is connected to the second portion 32 at least in the direction along the second axis X2.

[0028] The second movable part 4 is connected to the support part 2 via a pair of second connecting parts 6 so as to be swingable around the second axis X2. That is, the second movable part 4 is supported by the support part 2 so as to be swingable around the second axis X2. The first axis X1 and the second axis X2 are perpendicular to the optical axis direction A and intersect with each other (in this example, they are perpendicular to each other). The first part 31 may be formed in a rectangular or polygonal shape when viewed from the optical axis direction A. The first part 31 may be formed in a circular shape (for example, an elliptical shape) when viewed from the optical axis direction A. The second part 32 may be formed in a pentagonal or higher polygonal ring shape or a circular ring shape when viewed from the optical axis direction A.

[0029] The pair of first connecting parts 5 are arranged on the first axis X1 in the gap between the second portion 32 of the first movable part 3 and the second movable part 4, so as to sandwich the first movable part 3 therebetween. Each first connecting part 5 functions as a torsion bar. The pair of second connecting parts 6 are arranged on the second axis X2 in the gap between the second movable part 4 and the support part 2, so as to sandwich the second movable part 4 therebetween. Each second connecting part 6 functions as a torsion bar.

[0030] The mirror 7 is provided on the first portion 31 of the first movable part 3. The mirror 7 is formed on the surface of the first portion 31 opposite to the base 42 (the window member 44 side) so as to include the intersection of the first axis X1 and the second axis X2. The mirror 7 is formed in a circular, elliptical or rectangular film shape from a metal material such as aluminum, an aluminum alloy, gold or silver. The surface of the mirror 7 opposite to the first movable part 3 constitutes a mirror surface 7a extending perpendicularly to the optical axis direction A. The center (geometric center, center of gravity) of the mirror surface 7a coincides with the intersection of the first axis X1 and the second axis X2 when viewed from the optical axis direction A. In this way, since the mirror 7 is provided on the first portion 31 connected to the second portion 32 via the multiple connection portions 33, it is possible to suppress deformation such as bending of the mirror 7 even if the first movable part 3 oscillates around the first axis X1 at the resonance frequency level.

[0031] The distance from the outer edge of the mirror surface 7a to the outer edge of the first portion 31 is smaller than the width of the connecting portion 33. The width of the connecting portion 33 is the length along a direction (in this example, the direction along the first axis X1) perpendicular to the extension direction of the connecting portion 33 (in this example, the direction along the second axis X2). The first movable portion 3 does not have to have the second portion 32 and the connecting portion 33. The distance from the outer edge of the mirror surface 7a to the outer edge of the first portion 31 may be smaller than the width of the second connecting portion 6. The width of the second connecting portion 6 is the length along a direction (in this example, the direction along the first axis X1) perpendicular to the extension direction of the second connecting portion 6 (in this example, the direction along the second axis X2).

[0032] Furthermore, the optical scanning device 1 has a first driving coil 11, a second driving coil 12, wirings 15a, 15b, wirings 16a, 16b, electrode pads 21a, 21b, and electrode pads 22a, 22b. In Fig. 2, for convenience of explanation, the first driving coil 11 and the second driving coil 12 are shown by dashed lines, and the wirings 15a, 15b and wirings 16a, 16b are shown by solid lines.

[0033] The first drive coil 11 is provided in the second portion 32 of the first movable portion 3. The first drive coil 11 is wound in a spiral shape (wound in a whorl shape) multiple times in an area (i.e., the second portion 32) outside the mirror 7 when viewed from the optical axis direction A. A magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generating unit acts on the first drive coil 11.

[0034] The first drive coil 11 is disposed in a groove formed on the surface of the first movable part 3. That is, the first drive coil 11 is embedded in the first movable part 3. One end of the first drive coil 11 is connected to an electrode pad 21a via a wiring 15a. The wiring 15a extends from the first movable part 3 to the support part 2 via one of the first connecting parts 5, the second movable part 4, and one of the second connecting parts 6. The wiring 15a and the electrode pad 21a are integrally formed from a metal material such as tungsten, aluminum, gold, silver, copper, or an aluminum-based alloy.

[0035] The other end of the first drive coil 11 is connected to an electrode pad 21b via a wiring 15b. The wiring 15b extends from the first movable part 3 to the support part 2 via the other first connecting part 5, the second movable part 4, and the other second connecting part 6. The wiring 15b and the electrode pad 21b are integrally formed from a metal material such as tungsten, aluminum, gold, silver, copper, or an aluminum-based alloy.

[0036] The second drive coil 12 is provided on the second movable part 4. The second drive coil 12 is wound multiple times in a spiral shape on the second movable part 4. A magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generating unit acts on the second drive coil 12. The second drive coil 12 is disposed in a groove formed on the surface of the second movable part 4. In other words, the second drive coil 12 is embedded in the second movable part 4.

[0037] One end of the second actuation coil 12 is connected to an electrode pad 22a via a wiring 16a. The wiring 16a extends from the second movable part 4 to the support part 2 via one of the second connecting parts 6. The wiring 16a and the electrode pad 22a are integrally formed from a metal material such as tungsten, aluminum, gold, silver, copper, or an aluminum-based alloy.

[0038] The other end of the second actuation coil 12 is connected to an electrode pad 22b via a wiring 16b. The wiring 16b extends from the second movable part 4 to the support part 2 via the other second connecting part 6. The wiring 16b and the electrode pad 22b are integrally formed from a metal material such as tungsten, aluminum, gold, silver, copper, or an aluminum-based alloy.

[0039] The number and arrangement of the electrode pads 21a, 21b, 22a, and 22b are not limited to the example shown in Fig. 4. As in the example of Fig. 4, the electrode pad 21a may be arranged on one side of the second axis X2 with respect to the movable part 10, and the electrode pad 21b may be arranged on the other side of the second axis X2 with respect to the movable part 10, or both of the electrode pads 21a and 21b may be arranged on one side or the other side of the second axis X2 with respect to the movable part 10. In the latter case, the wirings 15a and 15b may extend on the same second coupling part 6. The same applies to the electrode pads 22a and 22b and the wirings 16a and 16b.

[0040] Hereinafter, first to fifth examples will be described as examples of the operation of the movable part 10 in the optical scanning device 1. In the first example, a high-frequency driving current is applied to the first driving coil 11. At this time, a magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generating unit acts on the first driving coil 11, and a Lorentz force is generated in the first driving coil 11. As a result, the first movable part 3 is oscillated around the first axis X1 at, for example, a resonance frequency level.

[0041] Also, a driving current of a certain magnitude is applied to the second driving coil 12. At this time, since the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating unit acts on the second driving coil 12, a Lorentz force is generated in the second driving coil 12. As a result, the second movable part 4 is rotated around the second axis X2 according to the magnitude of the driving current, for example, and stopped in that state. As a result, according to the optical scanning device 1, it is possible to perform scanning by reflecting light from a predetermined light source by the mirror surface 7a. The light is incident on the mirror surface 7a from the outside through the window member 44, reflected by the mirror surface 7a, and emitted to the outside through the window member 44. In the first example, the first movable part 3 is oscillated at the resonant frequency, and the second movable part 4 is used statically.

[0042] In the second example, similar to the operation of the first movable part 3 in the first example, a high-frequency drive current is applied to the first drive coil 11 to cause the first movable part 3 to oscillate according to the resonant frequency, and a high-frequency drive current is applied to the second drive coil 12 to cause the second movable part 4 to oscillate according to the resonant frequency. In this way, in the second example, both the first movable part 3 and the second movable part 4 are oscillated at the resonant frequency.

[0043] In the third example, similar to the operation of the second movable part 4 in the first example, a drive current of a constant magnitude is applied to the first drive coil 11, whereby the first movable part 3 is rotated around the first axis X1 in accordance with the magnitude of the drive current and then stopped, and a drive current of a constant magnitude is applied to the second drive coil 12, whereby the second movable part 4 is rotated around the second axis X2 in accordance with the magnitude of the drive current and then stopped. Thus, in the third example, both the first movable part 3 and the second movable part 4 are used statically.

[0044] In the fourth and fifth examples, only the first movable part 3 is driven. In the fourth example, a high-frequency driving current is applied to the first driving coil 11, causing the first movable part 3 to oscillate in accordance with the resonant frequency. In the fifth example, a driving current of a constant magnitude is applied to the first driving coil 11, causing the first movable part 3 to rotate around the first axis X1 in accordance with the magnitude of the driving current and then to stop. The fourth and fifth examples can be used, for example, in cases where the second movable part 4 is not provided.

[0045] As described above, the optical scanning device 1 is disposed on the base 42. The support portion 2 is fixed to the bottom surface of the recess 42c, and the first movable portion 3 and the second movable portion 4 face the bottom surface of the recess 42d. The provision of the recess 42d allows the first movable portion 3 and the second movable portion 4 to swing without interfering with the base 42. [Package configuration]

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the frame member 43 has a first wall portion 51, a second wall portion 52, a third wall portion 53, and a fourth wall portion 54. Each of the walls 51 to 54 is formed in a flat plate shape and has the same thickness. The first wall portion 51 and the second wall portion 52 extend parallel to each other and face each other in the X-axis direction (second direction) perpendicular to the Z-axis direction. The third wall portion 53 and the fourth wall portion 54 extend parallel to each other and face each other in the Y-axis direction (third direction) perpendicular to both the Z-axis direction and the X-axis direction. The third wall portion 53 is connected to one end of the first wall portion 51 and one end of the second wall portion 52, and the fourth wall portion 54 is connected to the other end of the first wall portion 51 and the other end of the second wall portion 52. The third wall portion 53 and the fourth wall portion 54 have, for example, the same shape.

[0047] The top surface 51a of the first wall portion 51 on the opposite side to the base 42 is inclined with respect to the main surface 42a so as to move away from the main surface 42a of the base 42 as it moves away from the second wall portion 52. The top surface 52a of the second wall portion 52 on the opposite side to the base 42 is inclined with respect to the main surface 42a so as to move away from the main surface 42a of the base 42 as it moves closer to the first wall portion 51. The height H1 of the first wall portion 51 is higher than the height H2 of the second wall portion 52. The height H1 of the first wall portion 51 is the maximum distance from the main surface 42a to the top surface 51a, and the height H2 of the second wall portion 52 is the maximum distance from the main surface 42a to the top surface 52a.

[0048] A top surface 53a of the third wall portion 53 opposite the base 42 is inclined with respect to the main surface 42a so as to move away from the main surface 42a of the base 42 as it approaches the first wall portion 51, when viewed from the Y axis direction. A top surface 54a of the fourth wall portion 54 opposite the base 42 is inclined with respect to the main surface 42a so as to move away from the main surface 42a of the base 42 as it approaches the first wall portion 51, when viewed from the Y axis direction. The height of the third wall portion 53 is equal to the height of the fourth wall portion 54.

[0049] The top faces 51a to 54a are flush and located on the same plane. The window member 44 is disposed on the top faces 51a to 54a, and is thus inclined with respect to the main surface 42a (mirror surface 7a) so as to move away from the main surface 42a from the second wall portion 52 toward the first wall portion 51. In other words, the top faces 51a to 54a are inclined at an angle corresponding to the inclination of the window member 44.

[0050] The first wall 51 may be composed of a plurality of parts. These parts may be formed separately with gaps between them. In the embodiment, the entire top surface 51a is formed flat, but the top surface 51a may be divided into a plurality of regions by forming a notch, a recess, a protrusion, or the like in the top surface 51a. The entire top surface 51a does not necessarily have to be inclined at an angle corresponding to the inclination of the window member 44. For example, it is sufficient that a straight line connecting two points in the top surface 51a is inclined at an angle corresponding to the inclination of the window member 44. The same applies to the second wall 52 to the fourth wall 54. The window member 44 does not have to be joined to the frame member 43 over the entire top surfaces 51a to 54a, and it is sufficient that at least a part of the top surfaces 51a to 54a is joined to the frame member 43.

[0051] The window member 44 has an outer surface 44a, an inner surface 44b, a first side surface 44c, a second side surface 44d, a third side surface 44e, and a fourth side surface 44f. The outer surface 44a is a surface opposite to the frame member 43, and the inner surface 44b is a surface on the frame member 43 side. The outer surface 44a and the inner surface 44b extend parallel to each other. Each of the side surfaces 44c to 44f extends perpendicular to the outer surface 44a and the inner surface 44b, and is continuous with the outer surface 44a and the inner surface 44b. The window member 44 is disposed on the frame member 43 so that the inner surface 44b faces the top surfaces 51a to 54a. The first side surface 44c, the second side surface 44d, the third side surface 44e, and the fourth side surface 44f are located on the top surface 51a, the top surface 52a, the top surface 53a, and the top surface 54a, respectively.

[0052] The window member 44 has a first corner 61 formed on the first wall 51 side by the outer surface 44a and the first side surface 44c, a second corner 62 formed on the second wall 52 side by the outer surface 44a and the second side surface 44d, a third corner 63 formed on the third wall 53 side by the outer surface 44a and the third side surface 44e, and a fourth corner 64 formed on the fourth wall 54 side by the outer surface 44a and the fourth side surface 44f. When viewed from the Z-axis direction, the first corner 61 overlaps with the top surface 51a, and the second corner 62 overlaps with the top surface 52a. When viewed from the Z-axis direction, the third corner 63 overlaps with the top surface 53a, and the fourth corner 64 overlaps with the top surface 54a. In this example, the first side surface 44c is a flat surface, but the first side surface 44c may be a curved surface. In this case, the first corner 61 is formed at the boundary between the flat outer surface 44a and the curved first side surface 44c. Similarly, the second side surface 44d may be a curved surface. In this case, the second corner 62 is formed at the boundary between the flat outer surface 44a and the curved second side surface 44d.

[0053] The thickness T44 of the window member 44 is smaller than each of the thickness T51 of the first wall portion 51, the thickness T52 of the second wall portion 52, the thickness T53 of the third wall portion 53, and the thickness T54 of the fourth wall portion 54. In this example, the thicknesses T51 to T54 of the walls 51 to 54 are equal to each other. The thickness T44 of the window member 44 is smaller than the width W of the joining region where the window member 44 and the frame member 43 are joined by the joining material 45. The width W is a width along a direction parallel to each of the top faces 51a to 54a and perpendicular to the extending direction of the frame member 43. In this example, the width W of the joining region is equal around the entire circumference of the frame member 43, but when the width of the joining region changes with respect to the circumferential direction of the frame member 43, the width W is the maximum width of the joining region.

[0054] The positional relationship of each member will be described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3. The optical scanning device 1 is disposed, for example, such that the first axis X1 is parallel to the X-axis direction and the second axis X2 is parallel to the Y-axis direction. Fig. 2 shows a cross section passing through the center of the mirror surface 7a and parallel to both the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction. The cross section of Fig. 2 is perpendicular to the Y-axis direction and perpendicular to the first wall portion 51 and the second wall portion 52. Fig. 3 shows a cross section passing through the center of the mirror surface 7a and parallel to both the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction. The cross section of Fig. 3 is perpendicular to the X-axis direction and perpendicular to the third wall portion 53 and the fourth wall portion 54.

[0055] 2 and 3 show a non-rotating state (non-driven state, initial state) in which the movable part 10 is not rotating around the first axis X1 and the second axis X2. In the non-rotating state, the first movable part 3 is not rotating around the first axis X1, and the second movable part 4 is not rotating around the second axis X2. In the non-rotating state, the mirror surface 7a is parallel to the main surface 42a of the base 42.

[0056] 2, a first straight line L1 passing through a first end P1, which is an end of the mirror surface 7a on the first wall portion 51 side, and the vertex of the first corner portion 61, intersects with the first wall portion 51. That is, the first straight line L1 passes through the first wall portion 51. Also, in the cross section of FIG. 2, a second straight line L2 passing through a second end P2, which is an end of the mirror surface 7a on the second wall portion 52 side, and the vertex of the second corner portion 62, intersects with the second wall portion 52. That is, the second straight line L2 passes through the second wall portion 52.

[0057] In the cross section of Fig. 3, a third straight line L3 passing through a third end P3, which is an end of the mirror surface 7a on the third wall portion 53 side, and the vertex of the third corner portion 63, intersects with the third wall portion 53. That is, the third straight line L3 passes through the third wall portion 53. In addition, in the cross section of Fig. 3, a fourth straight line L4 passing through a fourth end P4, which is an end of the mirror surface 7a on the fourth wall portion 54 side, and the vertex of the fourth corner portion 64, intersects with the fourth wall portion 54. That is, the fourth straight line L4 passes through the fourth wall portion 54.

[0058] In addition, when the mirror surface 7a is formed by mirror-finishing the surface of the first movable part 3, the end of the mirror surface 7a is the end of the processed region. Alternatively, when the surface of the first movable part 3 itself constitutes the mirror surface 7a without forming a reflective film, the end of the mirror surface 7a is the end of the first movable part 3. In the above embodiment, the first movable part 3 is connected to the first connecting part 5 in a cross section passing through the center of the mirror surface 7a and perpendicular to the Y-axis direction. In this case, the end of the first movable part 3 is located on the boundary between the first movable part 3 and the first connecting part 5. As in the embodiment, when the first movable part 3 has the first part 31 and the second part 32 surrounding the first part 31, and the mirror surface 7a is provided on the first part 31, the end of the mirror surface 7a is located near the end of the first part 31. [Wiring section]

[0059] 1 and 4, the mirror unit 100 further includes a wiring section 70 electrically connected to the optical scanning device 1. The wiring section 70 has a plurality of (eight in this example) inner electrode pads 71, a plurality of (nine in this example) outer electrode pads 72, and a plurality of (eight in this example) wirings 73. Each of the inner electrode pads 71, the outer electrode pads 72, and the wirings 73 is formed of a metal material such as tungsten, aluminum, gold, silver, copper, or an aluminum-based alloy.

[0060] The inner electrode pad 71 is provided in an inner region (first region) R1 located inside the frame member 43 when viewed from the Z-axis direction. The inner electrode pad 71 is disposed on the base 42, more specifically, on the bottom surface of the recess 42c. The inner electrode pad 71 is disposed on the bottom surface of the recess 42c, between the optical scanning device 1 and the third wall portion 53. In the mirror unit 100, the distance C1 between the optical scanning device 1 and the third wall portion 53 along the Y-axis direction is longer than the distance C2 between the optical scanning device 1 and the fourth wall portion 54 along the Y-axis direction (FIG. 3). That is, the inner electrode pad 71 is disposed between the optical scanning device 1 and the third wall portion 53, which is farther from the optical scanning device 1, of the third wall portion 53 and the fourth wall portion 54. In the mirror unit 100, the distance between the optical scanning device 1 and the first wall portion 51 along the X-axis direction is equal to the distance between the optical scanning device 1 and the second wall portion 52 along the X-axis direction. The inner electrode pads 71 ​​are arranged, for example, along the X-axis direction. Each of the inner electrode pads 71 ​​is electrically connected to one of the electrode pads 21a, 21b, 22a, and 22b of the optical scanning device 1 via a wire WR.

[0061] The outer electrode pads 72 are provided in an outer region (third region) R3 located outside the frame member 43 when viewed from the Z-axis direction. The outer electrode pads 72 are disposed on the base 42, more specifically, on the main surface 42a. The outer electrode pads 72 are arranged, for example, at equal intervals along the X-axis direction. The outer electrode pads 72 are used, for example, for electrical connection with an external control device or the like.

[0062] 1, the multiple wirings 73 electrically connect the inner electrode pads 71 ​​and the outer electrode pads 72. The multiple wirings 73 include multiple (four in this example) wirings 73A and multiple (four in this example) wirings 73B.

[0063] Each of the wirings 73A extends linearly and inclined with respect to the X-axis and Y-axis directions when viewed from the Z-axis direction. Each of the wirings 73B has a plurality of bent portions (two in this example). Each of the wirings 73B has a pair of first linear portions 73Ba extending linearly and inclined with respect to the X-axis and Y-axis directions when viewed from the Z-axis direction, and a second linear portion 73Bb extending linearly along the X-axis direction when viewed from the Z-axis direction. The pair of first linear portions 73Ba are located at both ends of the wiring 73B and are connected to the second linear portion 73Bb. The bent portion is formed at the boundary between the pair of first linear portions 73Ba and the second linear portion 73Bb.

[0064] 4, each wiring 73 is disposed in a hole 42e formed in the base 42, and extends inside the base 42. Each wiring 73 is electrically connected to the inner electrode pad 71 in the inner region R1, extends inside the base 42 in an overlapping region (second region) R2 that overlaps with the frame member 43 when viewed from the Z-axis direction, and is drawn out to the outer region R3. That is, each wiring 73 has a first portion 74 located in the inner region R1, a second portion 75 located in the overlapping region R2, and a third portion 76 located in the outer region R3.

[0065] The first portion 74 is connected to the inner electrode pad 71. In this example, the wiring 73 and the inner electrode pad 71 are formed integrally with each other (as one member). In other words, the wiring 73 is provided so as to be exposed in the inner region R1, and the exposed portion constitutes the inner electrode pad 71. The second portion 75 is connected to the first portion 74 and extends linearly below the third wall portion 53. In other words, the wiring 73 extends inside the base 42 so as to overlap with the third wall portion 53 in the overlapping region R2 when viewed from the Z-axis direction. The third portion 76 is connected to the second portion 75 and is drawn from the overlapping region R2 to the outer region R3 and connected to the back surface of the outer electrode pad 72. In FIG. 4, the wiring 73A of the wiring 73 is illustrated, but the wiring 73B also extends inside the base 42, similar to the wiring 73A. [Action and Effects]

[0066] In the mirror unit 100, the height H1 of the first wall portion 51 is higher than the height H2 of the second wall portion 52, and the window member 44 is disposed on the top surface 51a of the first wall portion 51 and on the top surface 52a of the second wall portion 52, and is inclined with respect to the mirror surface 7a. This makes it possible to make the traveling direction of the light reflected by the window member 44 different from the traveling direction of the light reflected by the mirror surface 7a, and makes it possible to prevent the light reflected by the window member 44 from becoming noise light.

[0067] In a cross section (FIG. 2) passing through the mirror surface 7a and perpendicular to the first wall portion 51, a first straight line L1 passing through a first end P1 of the mirror surface 7a on the first wall portion 51 side and a first corner portion 61 formed on the first wall portion 51 side by the outer surface 44a and the first side surface 44c of the window member 44 intersects the first wall portion 51. In this cross section (FIG. 2), a second straight line L2 passing through a second end P2 of the mirror surface 7a on the second wall portion 52 side and a second corner portion 62 formed on the second wall portion 52 side by the outer surface 44a and the second side surface 44d of the window member 44 intersects the second wall portion 52. In a cross section (FIG. 3) passing through the mirror surface 7a and perpendicular to the third wall portion 53, a third straight line L3 passing through a third end P3 on the third wall portion 53 side of the mirror surface 7a and a third corner portion 63 formed on the third wall portion 53 side by the outer surface 44a and the third side surface 44e of the window member 44 intersects with the third wall portion 53. In the cross section (FIG. 3), a fourth straight line L4 passing through a fourth end P4 on the fourth wall portion 54 side of the mirror surface 7a and a fourth corner portion 64 formed on the fourth wall portion 54 side by the outer surface 44a and the fourth side surface 44f of the window member 44 intersects with the fourth wall portion 54. By configuring the straight lines L1 to L4 to intersect with the walls 51 to 54, each of the walls 51 to 54 is formed relatively thick with respect to the window member 44. As a result, the window member 44 can be supported by the thickly formed walls 51 to 54, and damage to the window member 44 can be suppressed.

[0068] On the other hand, when the walls 51 to 54 are formed thick, it is possible to widen the thickness of the walls 51 to 54 toward the optical scanning device 1 side from the viewpoint of miniaturization, but in that case, the area of ​​the part located inside the frame member 43 on the base 42 becomes narrow. If a wiring part for electrical connection with the optical scanning device 1 is formed in such a narrow part, there is a risk of a defect such as a short circuit occurring in the wiring part. In contrast, in the mirror unit 100, the wiring part 70 has a part (wiring 73) that extends inside the base 42 and is drawn out to the outside of the frame member 43. By forming the wiring part 70 inside the base 42 in this way, it is possible to prevent defects such as a short circuit occurring in the wiring part 70. In addition, for example, compared with the case where the wiring part 70 is formed so as to extend between the base 42 and the frame member 43 along the main surface 42a of the base 42, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the wiring part 70 and to prevent the wiring part 70 from affecting the joint (joint material 46) between the base 42 and the frame member 43. Therefore, according to the mirror unit 100, it is possible to reduce noise light, prevent damage to the window member 44, and improve reliability.

[0069] The thickness T44 of the window member 44 is smaller than the width W of the joint between the window member 44 and the frame member 43. This allows the window member 44 to be formed thin, and the effect of refraction at the window member 44 can be suppressed.

[0070] The first straight line L1 intersects with the first wall portion 51, and the second straight line L2 intersects with the second wall portion 52. As a result, both the first wall portion 51 and the second wall portion 52 facing each other are formed to be relatively thick with respect to the window member 44, so that the window member 44 can be supported by the thickly formed walls 51, 52, and damage to the window member 44 can be more reliably suppressed. In addition, the third straight line L3 intersects with the third wall portion 53, and the fourth straight line L4 intersects with the fourth wall portion 54. As a result, both the third wall portion 53 and the fourth wall portion 54 facing each other are formed to be relatively thick with respect to the window member 44, so that the window member 44 can be supported by the thickly formed walls 53, 54, and damage to the window member 44 can be more reliably suppressed.

[0071] The wiring portion 70 extends inside the base 42 so as to overlap with the third wall portion 53 in the overlapping region R2 when viewed from the Z-axis direction. If an attempt is made to draw out the wiring portion 70 toward the thickly formed third wall portion 53, the above-mentioned deterioration of the wiring portion 70 is likely to occur, but in the mirror unit 100, the wiring portion 70 is formed inside the base 42, so that deterioration of the wiring portion 70 can be reliably suppressed.

[0072] A distance C1 between the optical scanning device 1 and the third wall portion 53 is longer than a distance C2 between the optical scanning device 1 and the fourth wall portion 54, and the inner electrode pad 71 is disposed between the optical scanning device 1 and the third wall portion 53 on the base 42. This makes it possible to ensure a space for disposing the inner electrode pad 71.

[0073] The wiring portion 70 is electrically connected to the optical scanning device 1 in an inner region R1 located inside the frame member 43 when viewed from the Z-axis direction, extends inside the base 42 in an overlapping region R2 where the wiring portion 70 overlaps with the frame member 43 when viewed from the Z-axis direction, and is drawn out to an outer region R3 located outside the frame member 43 when viewed from the Z-axis direction. This makes it possible to more reliably suppress deterioration of the wiring portion 70 described above.

[0074] The wiring section 70 does not have a portion formed on the back surface 42b of the base 42. When the back surface 42b of the base 42 is adhered and fixed to the upper surface of the magnet (magnetic field generating section), it is preferable to bring the base 42 as close as possible to the magnet in order to ensure a magnetic force acting on the first drive coil 11 and the second drive coil 12. Since the wiring section 70 does not have a portion formed on the back surface 42b of the base 42, the base 42 can be brought closer to the magnet, and a large magnetic force acting on the first drive coil 11 and the second drive coil 12 can be ensured. [Variations]

[0075] 6, an outer electrode pad 72 and a wiring 73 are provided in the inner region R1. The outer electrode pad 72 is disposed on the back surface 42b of the base 42 in the inner region R1. The wiring 73 is connected to the back surface of the inner electrode pad 71, extends linearly inside the base 42 along the Z-axis direction, and is connected to the back surface of the outer electrode pad 72. With this modification, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the wiring portion 70 as described above, as in the above embodiment.

[0076] In the above modification, the outer electrode pad 72 may be disposed on the back surface 42b of the base 42 in the outer region R3. In this case, the wiring 73 may have a first portion that is connected to the back surface of the inner electrode pad 71, extends linearly inside the base 42 along the Z-axis direction, and is exposed on the back surface 42b of the base 42, and a second portion that is connected to the first portion, is provided on the back surface 42b so as to extend across the inner region R1, the overlapping region R2, and the outer region R3, and is connected to the outer electrode pad 72.

[0077] In the above modification, the outer electrode pad 72 may be disposed on the main surface 42a of the base 42 in the outer region R3. In this case, the wiring 73 may have a first portion connected to the rear surface of the inner electrode pad 71, extending linearly inside the base 42 along the Z-axis direction, and exposed on the rear surface 42b of the base 42, a second portion connected to the first portion and provided on the rear surface 42b so as to extend across the inner region R1, the overlapping region R2, and the outer region R3, and a third portion connected to the second portion, extending linearly inside the base 42 along the Z-axis direction, and connected to the rear surface of the outer electrode pad 72.

[0078] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment and modified examples. For example, the material and shape of each component are not limited to the above-mentioned material and shape, and various materials and shapes can be adopted. The thicknesses T51 to T54 of the walls 51 to 54 may be different from each other. The wiring 73 may be electrically connected to the inner electrode pad 71 in the inner region R1, extend inside the base 42 in the overlapping region R2, and be drawn out to the outer region R3, and a part of the wiring 73 may be configured as a surface wiring formed along the surface of the base 42. In the optical scanning device 1 of the embodiment, the movable part 10 is driven by an electromagnetic force, but the movable part 10 may be driven by an electrostatic force or a piezoelectric element.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the third wall 53 can be regarded as the first reference wall, and the fourth wall 54 can be regarded as the second reference wall. In this case, the third wall 53, the third end P3, the third side surface 44e, the third corner 63, and the third straight line L3 correspond to the first wall, the first end, the first side surface, the first corner, and the first straight line, respectively, and the fourth wall 54, the fourth end P4, the fourth side surface 44f, the fourth corner 64, and the fourth straight line L4 correspond to the second wall, the second end, the second side surface, the second corner, and the second straight line, respectively. In the above embodiment, the third wall 53 can also be regarded as the second reference wall, and the fourth wall 54 can also be regarded as the third reference wall.

[0080] In the above embodiment, the first wall 51 may be regarded as the first reference wall, and the second wall 52 may be regarded as the second reference wall. In this case, the first wall 51, the first end P1, the first side surface 44c, the first corner 61, and the first straight line L1 correspond to the first wall, the first end, the first side surface, the first corner, and the first straight line, respectively, and the second wall 52, the second end P2, the second side surface 44d, the second corner 62, and the second straight line L2 correspond to the second wall, the second end, the second side surface, the second corner, and the second straight line, respectively. In this case, the distance between the optical scanning device 1 and the first wall 51 may be longer than the distance between the optical scanning device 1 and the second wall 52, and the inner electrode pad 71 may be disposed between the optical scanning device 1 and the first wall 51 on the base 42. That is, the inner electrode pad 71 may be disposed between the first wall portion 51, which is farther from the optical scanning device 1 among the first wall portion 51 and the second wall portion 52, and the optical scanning device 1. Even in this case, a space for disposing the inner electrode pad 71 can be secured. Moreover, since the first wall portion 51 is farther from the optical scanning device 1 than the second wall portion 52, it is possible to suppress the first wall portion 51, which is higher than the second wall portion 52, from blocking the light from the mirror surface 7a. In the above embodiment, the first wall portion 51 can also be regarded as the second reference wall portion, and the second wall portion 52 can also be regarded as the first reference wall portion.

[0081] In the above embodiment, all of the following (1) to (4) are satisfied, but it is sufficient that at least one of the following (1) to (4) is satisfied, and the others do not have to be satisfied.

(3) In the cross section of FIG. 3, the third straight line L3 intersects with the third wall portion 53. (4) In the cross section of FIG. 3, the fourth straight line L4 intersects with the fourth wall portion 54.

[0082] A notch may be formed in the window member 44. The notch may be formed, for example, in the outer surface 44a and may extend along an edge of the outer surface 44a. The notch may be formed, for example, in a rectangular cross section. In this case, the window member 44 may have, in the cross section of FIG. 2, a first corner formed on the first wall portion 51 side by the outer surface 44a and the inner surface of the notch, a second corner formed on the second wall portion 52 side by the outer surface 44a and the inner surface of the notch, a fifth corner (another first corner) formed by the inner surface of the notch and the first side surface 44c, and a sixth corner (another second corner) formed by the inner surface of the notch and the second side surface 44d. In addition, the window member 44 may have a third corner formed on the third wall portion 53 side by the outer surface 44a and the inner surface of the notch, a fourth corner formed on the fourth wall portion 54 side by the outer surface 44a and the inner surface of the notch, a seventh corner (another third corner) formed by the inner surface of the notch and the third side surface 44e, and an eighth corner (another fourth corner) formed by the inner surface of the notch and the fourth side surface 44f in the cross section of FIG. 3. In this case, at least one of the following (5) to (8) may be satisfied. (5) In the cross section of FIG. 2, a straight line passing through the first end P1 on the first wall portion 51 side of the mirror surface 7a and the first corner intersects with the first wall portion 51. (6) In the cross section of FIG. 2, a straight line passing through the second end P2 on the second wall portion 52 side of the mirror surface 7a and the second corner intersects with the second wall portion 52. (7) In the cross section of FIG. 3, a straight line passing through the third end P3 on the third wall portion 53 side of the mirror surface 7a and the third corner portion may intersect with the third wall portion 53. (8) In the cross section of FIG. 3, a straight line L4 passing through the fourth end P4 on the fourth wall portion 54 side of the mirror surface 7a and the fourth corner portion may intersect with the fourth wall portion 54. This allows each wall portion 51 to 54 to be formed thick, as in the above embodiment. At least one of the following (9) to (12) may be satisfied. (9) In the cross section of FIG. 2, a straight line passing through the first end P1 and the fifth corner portion intersects with the first wall portion 51. (10) In the cross section of FIG. 2, a straight line passing through the second end P2 and the sixth corner portion intersects with the second wall portion 52. (11) In the cross section of FIG. 3, a straight line passing through the third end P3 and the seventh corner portion intersects with the third wall portion 53. (12) In the cross section of Fig. 3, a straight line passing through the fourth end P4 and the eighth corner intersects with the fourth wall portion 54. In this case as well, each of the walls 51 to 54 can be formed thick.When the above (9) to (12) are satisfied, the above (5) to (8) do not have to be satisfied. In this case, since the above (9) to (12) are satisfied, each of the walls 51 to 54 can be formed thick. Furthermore, since the above (5) to (8) are not satisfied, it is possible to prevent the light from the mirror surface 7a from being blocked by each of the walls 51 to 54, and the entire outer surface 44a of the window member 44 can be used for optical scanning. The outer surface 44a of the window member 44 means the surface facing away from the optical scanning device 1, and includes the inner surface of the notch. [Explanation of symbols]
