Abstract

An optical scanning device for displaying or capturing an image is used, the device including: an optical scanning unit configured to scan emitted light while drawing a spiral trajectory, wherein the unit includes: a light guide path configured to guide incident light to output the emitted light from an emission end; and a vibration unit configured to vibrate the emission end; a light emission control unit configured to control light emission of the emitted light; a polar coordinate generation unit configured to generate a radius and a deflection angle relating to the spiral trajectory; a driving signal generation unit configured to generate a driving signal for driving the vibration unit; an angle correction unit configured to perform calculation for correcting an angle based on information from the driving signal generation unit and output an corrected angle; and a coordinate calculation unit configured to calculate coordinates of an image.
