Abstract

An optical scanning apparatus has a light source unit, a first circuit board provided with the light source unit, a deflector for deflecting light beam from the light source unit, and a second circuit board provided with the deflector. The first circuit board and the second circuit board are connected electrically in such a manner that the positions thereof can be adjusted mechanically. Hence the optical beam scanner is made compact to obtain a sufficient bending strength and precision for an enhanced system reliability.
