A pressure sensor, having a simple structure for accurately measuring any one of pressure and weight, is provided. The pressure sensor includes a pair of electrode layers and a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is composed of a rubber elastic body positioned between the pair of electrode layers to act as a spacer for the pair of electrode layers. The dielectric layer has a tan .delta., at 1 to 30 Hz at a temperature of 10.degree. C. to 30.degree. C., of 0.03 or less. The dielectric layer also has a rubber hardness of 20 to 80 degrees in terms of scale A according to JIS-K-6301 at 10.degree. C. to 30.degree. C. Further, the dielectric layer has an impact resilience of 75% or more measured according to JIS-K-6301 at 10.degree. C. to 30.degree. C. and a compression set of 3% or less measured according to JIS-K-6301 at 10.degree. C. to 30.degree. C. The dielectric layer is formed of any one of natural rubber, polybutadiene rubber, polyisoprene rubber, polyurethane rubber and silicone rubber.

A mirror driving apparatus includes a rotary mirror, a support member for rotatably supporting the rotary mirror, a driving section for rotating the rotary mirror, a rotary electrode mounted on the rotary mirror or the support member, a fixed electrode disposed close to the rotary electrode and generally parallel thereto, a fixing section to which the support member and the fixed electrode are mounted, and a detecting section for detecting electrostatic capacity or a variation thereof between the rotary electrode and the fixed electrode. A mechanical vibration system, formed by the rotary mirror and the rotary mirror support member, is controlled based on the amount of rotary movement of the rotary mirror detecting as a change in capacity between the electrodes to suppress resonance of the rotary mirror. Additionally, by superposing an additional high frequency component outside the control band onto the rotary mirror control signal, the rotary mirror can be moved in fine increments. Thus, a dead band region (hysteresis characteristic) of the mechanical vibration system is limited.

An optical head which includes a movable bobbin having an objective lens and tracking coils for tracking operation, a carriage guided in such a manner to be able to move in the tracking direction and a state transformation mechanism for transforming the state of the bobbin and carriage between a first state, in which the objective lens can move in the tracking direction but the carriage does not move in the tracking direction, and a second state, in which the movable bobbin and the carriage moves in the tracking direction as one body. When effecting a tracking operation, the state transformation mechanism transforms the state of the bobbin and the carriage into the first state, in which the objective lens can move in the tracking direction but the carriage does not move in the tracking direction, and a tracking drive current is then made to flow through the tracking coils to perform the tracking operation. This results in that the objective lens is supported by a system of a single degree of freedom, of which characteristics are determined by the mass of the movable bobbin and the spring constant of the bobbin supporting means. In contrast, when effecting an access operation, the state transformation mechanism transforms the movable bobbin and the carriage into the second state, in which the bobbin and the carriage move in the tracking direction in one united body, and an access drive current is then made to flow through the tracking coils to effect the access operation. Thereby, tracking performance can be increased and a seeking operation can be performed at a high speed. Further, the tracking coil can be used to effect the access drive operation. Thus, there can be less weight of a movable part of the optical head and lower power consumption.
