Abstract

An optical scanning device includes a mirror part having a mirror surface configured to reflect light, N support cantilevers supporting the mirror part swingably, N drive cantilevers, and a plurality of driving piezoelectric elements secured on N drive cantilevers. The mirror part precesses by setting the frequency of AC voltage applied to each of a plurality of piezoelectric elements to a determined common value and setting the phase of AC voltage applied to each of a plurality of piezoelectric elements to a value determined according to the position of each piezoelectric element.
