LIGHT SCANNER AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A light scanner comprising:
- a light reflection part having a light reflection surface;
a movable part having the light reflection part and being rotatable around a first rotation center axis and a second rotation center axis orthogonal to the first rotation center axis;
a pair of movable beams extending from the movable part and oppositely provided with the movable part in between;
a displacement part connected to the movable beams and producing displacement of rotating the movable part around the first rotation center axis;
a first drive part that drives the displacement part;
a pair of drive beams extending from the displacement part in parallel to the light reflection surface and orthogonal to an extension direction of the movable beams;
a support frame that supports the drive beams; and
a second drive part that rotates the movable part around the second rotation center axis,wherein the movable beam has a bending part that bendingly deforms in a thickness direction of the support frame due to displacement of the displacement part.
