Abstract: A piezoelectric actuating apparatus including a frame, a rotatable element, an actuating structure, and a sensing structure is provided. The rotatable element is disposed in an accommodating opening and connected to the frame through a rotating shaft structure. The rotatable element is configured to reciprocatingly swing relative to the frame with an axis of the rotating shaft structure. The actuating structure is elastically coupled to the rotatable element through at least one first elastic component. The sensing structure is elastically coupled to the rotatable element through at least one second elastic component. The actuating structure is deformed by receiving a driving signal, and drives the rotatable element to rotate around the axis through the at least one first elastic component. The rotating rotatable element is linked to the sensing structure through the at least one second elastic component to be correspondingly deformed, and outputs a sensing signal.

Abstract: A detection device and a detection method for a light emitting element are provided. The detection device includes a piezoelectricity sensor and a light sensing circuit. The piezoelectricity sensor includes a first piezoelectricity element, wherein the first piezoelectricity element is used to contact a first electrode of the light emitting element to cause a first deformation of the first piezoelectricity element. The first piezoelectricity element generates a first voltage based on the first deformation to power the first electrode. A second electrode of the light emitting element is coupled to a reference voltage. The light sensing circuit is used to sense whether the light emitting element powered by the first voltage emits light.
