Abstract

An actuator device includes a support portion, a movable portion, a connection portion which connects the movable portion to the support portion on a second axis, a first wiring which is provided on the connection portion, a second wiring which is provided on the support portion, and an insulation layer which includes a first opening exposing a surface opposite to the support portion in a first connection part located on the support portion in one of the first wiring and the second wiring and covers a corner of the first connection part. The rigidity of a first metal material forming the first wiring is higher than the rigidity of a second metal material forming the second wiring. The other wiring of the first wiring and the second wiring is connected to the surface of the first connection part in the first opening.

Claims (32)

1. An actuator device comprising:

a support portion;

a movable portion;

a connection portion which connects the movable portion to the support portion on a predetermined axis so that the movable portion is swingable about the axis;

a first wiring which is provided on the connection portion;

a second wiring which is provided on the support portion; and

an insulation layer which includes a first opening exposing a surface opposite to the support portion in a first connection part located on the support portion in one wiring of the first wiring and the second wiring and covers a corner of the first connection part,

wherein rigidity of a first metal material forming the first wiring is higher than rigidity of a second metal material forming the second wiring, and

wherein another wiring of the first wiring and the second wiring is connected to the surface of the first connection part in the first opening,

wherein a region corresponding to the corner of the first connection part in a surface of the insulation layer opposite to the support portion is curved in a convex shape away from the support portion.

2. The actuator device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first connection part is separate from the axis by a predetermined distance.

3. The actuator device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the distance is larger than ½ times a minimum width of the connection portion.

4. The actuator device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a cross-sectional area of the first wiring is larger than a cross-sectional area of the second wiring.

5. The actuator device according to claim 4 ,

wherein a width of the first wiring is larger than a width of the second wiring.

6. The actuator device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first opening is separate from the corner of the first connection part.

7. The actuator device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a coil which is provided with the movable portion;

a magnetic field generator which applies a magnetic field to the coil; and

a third wiring which is provided on the movable portion and is electrically connected to the coil,

wherein the insulation layer includes a second opening exposing a surface opposite to the movable portion in a second connection part located on the movable portion in one wiring of the first wiring and the third wiring and covers a corner of the second connection part,

wherein rigidity of the first metal material is higher than rigidity of a third metal material forming the third wiring, and

wherein the other wiring of the first wiring and the third wiring is connected to the surface of the second connection part in the second opening.

8. The actuator device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a frame which supports the support portion and the movable portion,

wherein the support portion is connected to the frame so as to be swingable about an axis intersecting the axis.

9. The actuator device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a mirror which is provided with the movable portion.
