Abstract:
A reflector has a reflective surface on first and second directions. Each of torsion beams extends to each opposite side of the reflective surface in the first direction. Each of coupling portions is to each opposite side of the reflector in the first direction and includes a central portion with U-shape having two projection portions and a bottom portion joined to the torsion beam. The projection portions include first concave portions opposing across the torsion beam by being penetrated in thickness direction. Each first concave portion extends in the second direction from an opening to a side surface facing the torsion beam towards an opposite side surface up to a bottom. A distance between the bottoms of the first concave portions across the torsion beam is greater than a distance between the side surfaces each facing the torsion beam of the projection portions.
