Abstract: To propose an optical scanning method for a video device including an optical scanning unit in which one end of a light guide path has a protruding beam-shaped structure. The video device includes the optical scanning unit having the light guide path in which light enters from one end and emits from the other end, and a vibration unit configured to apply vibration to the light guide path via a joint unit in a vicinity of the other end of the light guide path; a drive signal generation unit that generates a drive signal for inducing vibration in the vibration unit; and a scanning trajectory control unit which has a function of independently vibrating the light guide path in a first direction substantially perpendicular to an optical axis direction of the light guide path, and in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the light guide path and substantially perpendicular to the first direction by the vibration unit, and which generates a first drive signal configured to drive the vibration unit in the first direction and a second drive signal configured to drive the vibration unit in the second direction with any pattern. The scanning trajectory control unit generates the first drive signal and the second drive signal as sine waves having different phases and a substantially same frequency, and sets a modulation amount of an amplitude modulation of a sine wave of the second drive signal to be larger than a modulation amount of an amplitude modulation of a sine wave of the first drive signal.
