ABSTRACT:
An actuator includes a stage having a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and seesawing around a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction with respect to a rotation center axis placed along the first direction. A first support portion supports a seesaw motion of the stage. A base facing the stage under the stage at a predetermined interval is supported by the first support portion. A stage driving portion has a plurality of first driving comb electrodes and a plurality of first stationary comb electrodes corresponding to the first driving comb electrodes which are respectively formed on a lower surface of each of the stages and an upper surface of the base facing the stages. A second support portion supports the first support portion so that the first support portion seesaws with respect to a rotation center axis placed along the second direction. A first support portion driving portion has a second driving comb electrode provided at the first support portion and a second stationary comb electrode fixedly positioned to correspond to the second driving comb electrode to generate a seesaw motion of the first support portion.
