Abstract
A MEMS element includes a substrate, a fixing portion provided at the substrate, first and second actuators provided at the fixing portion, a drive target member coupled to the first and second actuators, a third actuator provided at the fixing portion, and a restriction member coupled to the third actuator. The first and second actuators drive the drive target member in a direction parallel to or crossing an upper surface of the substrate. The third actuator drives the restriction member in a direction crossing a movement direction of the drive target member to position the restriction member within a movement plane of the drive target member such that the restriction member restricts displacement of the drive target member.
