Abstract
A refracting plate is installed in the center of an actuator provided with a gimbaling mechanism element, which includes rotation supporting portions. A pair of voice coil motors are provided for each of the X- and the Y-axis in order to incline the refracting plate about the respective rotation supporting portions, and their own bobbins press the middle parts of the respective sides of the gimbaling mechanism element.
