Abstract: An optical reflector element includes: a first oscillator and a second oscillator for oscillating a reflector and disposed with the reflector being interposed therebetween along a first axis; and a third oscillator for oscillating the first oscillator and the second oscillator. The third oscillator includes: a first assister that causes the support of the first oscillator and the support of the second oscillator to operate, by connecting the support of the first oscillator and the support of the second oscillator to one base included in a pair of bases disposed with the first axis being interposed therebetween; and a second assister that causes the support of the first oscillator and the support of the second oscillator to operate, by connecting the support of the first oscillator and the support of the second oscillator to an other base included in the pair of bases.

Abstract: A light control system includes an optical reflector element and a control device. The optical reflector element includes a reflector, and a first oscillator and a second oscillator that are disposed with the reflector being interposed therebetween. When the control device is to oscillate a first oscillator and a second oscillator to cause the first and second oscillators to rotate in the same direction around a first axis, the control device: oscillates a first driver and a second driver of the first oscillator to cause each of the first and second drivers to have a first portion and a second portion that oscillate in opposite directions in the thickness direction; and oscillates a first driver and a second driver of the second oscillator to cause each of the first and second drivers to have a third portion and a fourth portion that oscillate in opposite directions in the thickness direction.
