ABSTRACT:
An optical scanning actuator includes a leaf spring member that has a base end fixed and a tip end, a light source that is fitted to the leaf spring member, an electromagnetic driving unit that oscillates the tip end of the leaf spring member, and an optical element that is fitted to the leaf spring member and that is irradiated with light outgoing from the light source to reflect or refract the light to thereby scan the light.
