Abstract
An optical scanner comprises a light source and an MEMS mirror. The light source emits a light beam. The MEMS mirror has a reflecting surface for reflecting the light beam coming from the light source. The light source is configured in such a manner that the optical axis of the light beam vertically irradiates the reflecting surface of the MEMS mirror at a specific position.
