- the present invention can also be applied to a configuration that performs dimension scanning. That is, the present invention can be applied to a configuration in which the mirror unit is rotated in two directions defined by the two axes with the two axes as the central axes. In this configuration, two elastic parts are used so as to support the mirror part in the directions of the two axes.
- the first embodiment described above can also be applied when using two such elastic portions. That is, the two elastic portions can be configured by piezoelectric elements that generate a voltage corresponding to the twist generated by the rotation of the mirror portion. Also in this case, it is preferable that each of the two elastic portions is configured to have a natural frequency that is in a resonance relationship with the scanning operation frequency.
- the elastic part used for scanning in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction) is preferably configured with a relatively high natural frequency
- the elastic part used for scanning in the vertical direction (Y-axis direction) It is preferable to use a relatively low natural frequency corresponding to the frame frequency (for example, about 50 to 60 Hz).
- the present invention can be used for image display devices such as projectors, head-up displays, and head-mounted displays.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un miroir qui est appliqué, par exemple, à un dispositif d'affichage d'image qui affiche des images en effectuant un balayage à l'aide d'un faisceau laser. Le miroir comprend : une partie cadre; une partie miroir qui peut tourner par rapport à la partie cadre; et une partie élastique qui soutient la partie miroir par rapport à la partie cadre et fait tourner la partie miroir. Plus précisément, la partie élastique est constituée d'un élément piézoélectrique qui génère une tension correspondant à la distortion générée par la rotation de la partie miroir. Ainsi, des états anormaux peuvent être détectés de façon appropriée et il est possible de réduire la taille et le coût, etc., du dispositif d'affichage d'image.
