Patent attributes
A deflector which enables to have a sufficient degree of freedom of designing and also to detect accurately a displacement angle of a movable plate can be provided. In order to accomplish this, the deflector includes a mirror, a base frame, a pair of torsion bars which pivotably support the mirror with respect to the base frame, a drive coil which is provided on the mirror, two permanent magnets which generate a magnetic flux which acts in the drive coil, two capacitive sensors which output an angle of oscillation of the mirror as electrical characteristics, a connecting portion which electrically connects on the mirror a first end out of two ends of the drive coil and one end of electric terminals of the two capacitive sensors, and a first wire which is drawn from the connecting portion up to the torsion bars via the base frame.
