Abstract:
An optical scanning apparatus includes a fixing member having a through hole at a center portion and configured to fix an exit end portion in a state penetrating through the through hole, and an actuator section including a first drive section, provided on an outer surface of the fixing member, configured to swing, in a first direction, the exit end portion protruding from a distal end portion of the fixing member, and a second drive section, provided on an outer surface of the fixing member, configured to swing, in a second direction different from the first direction, the exit end portion protruding from the distal end portion of the fixing member, where the first drive section and the second drive section differ from each other in at least one of a shape and a material of piezoelectric elements of the first drive section and the second drive section.
