- the fixed frame 502 and the movable frame 503 are held by a pair of first support portions 505 so that the movable frame 503 can rotate around the first rotation shaft 509.
- the first support portion 505 has a meander structure and is configured by connecting four vibrating beams 5051 to 5054 so as to be folded back.
- the vibrating beams 5051 to 5054 are made of silicon, and first driving bodies 5071 to 5074 are formed on the vibrating beams 5051 to 5054, respectively.

In the wiring part 512, the short circuit between the upper electrode and the lower electrode is prevented by forming an insulating layer. Since the inertial force is a force applied in accordance with the acceleration of the object, that is, the movement of the movable frame 503, an electric signal corresponding to the movement of the movable frame 503 can be taken out.

Further, the degree of deformation of the first drive bodies 5071 to 5074, the second drive bodies 5081 to 5083, the first support portion 505, and the second support portion 506 is not detected. Therefore, the monitor unit 511 can detect the turning state of the movable frame 503 without reducing the driving efficiency, which contributes to the reduction in power consumption of the optical reflecting element 501.

- the light emitted from the light source 72 is reflected by the mirror unit 504 of the optical reflection element 501 and projected onto the screen 73.
- the laser beam can be scanned on the screen 73.
- the image 74 can be drawn by modulating the output of the light source 72 in accordance with the position of the mirror unit 504 (that is, the position of the laser beam on the screen 73) so that a desired image 74 is obtained.
- the electric signal detected by the monitor unit 511 can be used to detect the position of the mirror unit 504.
- the configuration described in Embodiments 1 and 2 may be used as an actuator.
- the optical reflecting element of the present invention has a monitor function for detecting the driving state of the mirror without reducing the driving efficiency. Therefore, highly accurate control is possible while driving the mirror with lower power consumption. Therefore, it can be used for an image projection apparatus such as a head-up display, a head-mounted display, and a laser printer, and an optical scanning apparatus.
