Abstract
Movable plates which are supported by an opposite substrate and which include a reflection surface are attached between elastic members in a longitudinal direction as a first direction. The movable plates are rocked with respect to the opposite substrate using a second direction crossing at right angles to the first direction as a rock axis. The opposite substrate is disposed opposite to the surface opposite to the reflection surface of the movable plates, and a first convex portion which contacts the movable plates in a maximum deflection angle of the movable plate is disposed in the opposite substrate. The movable plates are driven by the elastic members so that the plates can rock into first and second deflection positions to contact the first convex portion.
