Abstract

A light scanning unit including a light source unit for emitting a collimated light beam, and a beam deflector for deflecting and scanning the collimated light beam and having a mirror surface controllable to oscillate, a light scanning method and an image forming apparatus employing the light scanning unit are disclosed. The light source unit may be made to oscillate synchronously with the oscillation of the beam deflector so that the incident angle of the collimated light beam on the beam deflector changes in synchronization with the oscillation of the beam deflector, thereby allowing an increase of the maximum deflection angle of the light beam deflected and scanned by the beam deflector.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2008-0031713 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Apr. 4, 2008, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an optical scanning unit, an optical scanning method, and an imaging device using the optical scanning unit, and more particularly, to an optical scanning unit that creates sinusoidal oscillation using a torsional oscillator including a mirror as an optical deflector, An imaging device using the optical scanning unit and an optical scanning method used by the imaging device. Background technique [0003] A light scanning unit is an optical device that scans light emitted from a light source onto an exposed surface. The light scanning unit is used in image forming apparatuses (for example, copiers, printers, facsimile machines, etc.) that utilize electrophotography to obtain images on printing p...
