Abstract:
A movable device includes a first member and a second member. The first actuator includes a supporting unit having one end coupled to the movable unit to support the movable unit and a drive unit coupled to the other end of the supporting unit. The drive unit is configured to deform the supporting unit to cause the movable unit to oscillate. The movable device has a first region and a second region divided by a virtual line passing through the center of the movable unit and parallel to a rotation axis of the movable unit. The supporting unit is coupled to the movable unit within the second region. An edge of the drive unit, which is opposite to the fixed edge, faces the movable unit as viewed from the center of the movable unit in a plan view.
