PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driver which improves drive efficiency and stabilizes drive action. SOLUTION: The driver includes a casing which holds a driven body displaceably in its drive direction, a reciprocator which reciprocates to the casing, and a drive direction converter which is fixed to the reciprocator and converts its motional direction into a direction different from the reciprocational direction of the reciprocator, thereby driving the driven body. The drive direction converter includes a contact which contacts with the driven body, a base which is fixed to the reciprocator and fixes the contact, and a plurality of arms which project from the base.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driving device with improved driving stability of a body to be driven. SOLUTION: The driving device 10 includes: a bending displacing member 5 whose one end is fixed and having an excited bending displacement; a frictional member 3 connected at a free end of the bending displacing member 5 on either of surfaces deflected in the bending displacing direction of the bending displacing member 5; and a body to be driven 2 brought into friction-contact with the frictional member 3. Consequently, the driving device 10 brings the frictional member 3 in contact with the body to be driven 2 with a high positional accuracy because the position of the frictional member 3 is not affected by a dimensional tolerance in the longitudinal direction of the bending displacing member 5. Accordingly, the driving stability of the body to be driven 2 can be improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sealing structure of an optical element which excels in environment resistance and is adaptable to miniaturization. SOLUTION: The sealing structure 20 includes an optical element 22 which is mounted on a leadframe 30 having a light transmitting part 38, wherein the optical plane 41 of the optical element 22 faces the light transmitting part 38 to close an end part 48 in the axial-line direction of the light transmitting part 38. The sealing structure 20 also includes a sealing member 29 which is formed in regions except an optical path 80 and seals the optical element 22. By forming the sealing member 29 in regions except the optical path 80, reduction of the light utilization efficiency is prevented even if a substance that enhances the environment resistance is added to the sealing member. Besides, by mounting the optical element 22 on the leadframe 30 with a face-down configuration, the sealing structure 20 can be easily formed even if the optical element 22 is of a small size.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive and compact optical communication module having high SN ratio capable of full duplex communication via a single optical fiber. SOLUTION: Received light 9 made to exit from an optical fiber 2 is reflected by a reflecting mirror 12 and focused to be coupled to a receiving element 5, and transmitted light 8 made to exit from a light emitting element 4 is focused by a transmission lens 6 and passes through an optical member 10, to be coupled to the optical fiber 2. Among the light made to exit from the light emitting element 4, internal disturbance light 14 having passed outside the transmission lens 6 is absorbed by a light attenuating film 13 formed on the surface opposite to that irradiated with the receiving light 9 of the reflecting mirror 12, therefore, the internal disturbance light 14 is not reflected by the surface opposite to the surface irradiated with the receiving light 9 of the reflecting mirror 12, and as a result, not only a quantity of the internal disturbance light 14 reaching the receiving element, but interference is also reduced.
