Abstract
An optical scanning device includes a mirror adjusting mechanism which includes an abutting surface and a mirror holding member. The abutting surface is provided with one or more first support protrusions making point contact or line contact with a reflecting surface of a planar mirror on the same straight line. The mirror holding member includes a mirror receiving part provided with one second support protrusion making point contact with the reflecting surface of the planar mirror. The mirror holding member is rotated while maintaining a contact state between the planar mirror and the first support protrusions and a contact state between the mirror receiving part and the abutting surface, so that an angle of the planar mirror is adjustable only in one direction by employing a straight line, which connects contact points between the plurality of first support protrusions and the planar mirror to each other, as a swing axis.
