ABSTRACT:
There are provided a small optical deflector that can be driven at a high speed with a low voltage, provides a large angle of deflection, has a low distortion even in high speed operation and has a high static flatness of a reflective surface, and a method of producing the optical deflector. The optical deflector drives a movable plate relative to a supporting substrate to deflect a light incident on a reflective surface and has a configuration in which at least two recesses are formed in a surface of the movable plate on which the reflective surface is not formed, and a magnetic material is provided in the recesses.
