And a plurality of reflecting surfaces 14 extending obliquely downward from the outer edges (each side) of the light source.
- the mounting portion 12 and the plurality of reflection surfaces 14 are integrally formed by, for example, injection molding of a thermoplastic resin material. That is, the polygon mirror 10 is integrally formed of a resin material.
- the thermoplastic resin material for example, polycarbonate, methacrylic resin, polycarbonate Realate, polystyrene, cycloolefin polymer, and other appropriate resin materials are used.
- the mounting portion 12 is formed in a polygonal shape. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 12 is described as being formed into a hexagonal flat plate.
- the reflecting surface 14 is formed so as to extend obliquely downward from each side (outer edge) of the hexagon of the mounting portion 12.
- Each or all of the reflecting surfaces 14 are formed into appropriate surfaces such as a flat surface, a spherical surface, a rotationally symmetric aspherical surface, and a free-form surface.
- a metal thin film of aluminum, silver, gold, or the like is formed by vapor deposition, sputtering, or the like, and is formed into a mirror surface. Therefore, when light is applied to the reflecting surface 14, the light is reflected by the reflecting surface 14.

- a rotation shaft 32 is mounted in the mounting hole 12a.
- the reflecting surface 14 is arranged so as to surround the rotating shaft 32.
- the polygon mirror 10 reflects light on each reflecting surface 14 while rotating with the rotation axis 32 in this state.
- a plurality of convex portions 18 having a predetermined height are formed integrally with the mounting portion 12 on a lower surface 16a which is one side surface of the mounting portion 12.
- Each projection 18 is formed, for example, in a columnar shape. These projections 18 are arranged at an equal distance of 120 degrees from the center of the mounting hole 12a. That is, the protrusions 18 are arranged at three positions on the lower surface 16a of the mounting portion 12.

- the polygon mirror 10 is mounted in a state where the center axis of the mounting hole 12 a is aligned with the center axis of the rotating shaft 32, that is, the mounting portion 12 is mounted without being inclined with respect to the rotating shaft 32.
- the height (the amount of protrusion of the mounting portion 12 from the lower surface 16a) is the same for all the projections 18.
- Such adjustment of the height of the convex portion 18 can be performed by adjusting the depth of a molding hole for molding the convex portion 18 in a mold used for injection molding of the polygon mirror 10. In this adjustment, since the number of the convex portions 18 is small, for example, three, adjustment is easy.
- Reference numeral 34 shown in FIG. 2B denotes a protrusion pin mark formed when the polygon mirror 10 is injection-molded. These protruding pin marks 34 are formed on the lower surface 16a of the mounting portion 12 so as to be lower than the convex portions 18 described above.

- the height of the projections 18 is the same in all the projections 18.
- the mounting portion 12 is prevented from unnecessarily distorting the mounting portion 12 due to the contact between the projection 18 and the support surface 32b of the rotating body 30. It can be mounted with high accuracy with the center axis aligned with the center axis of the rotary shaft 32. For this reason, the reflecting surface 14 integrally formed with the mounting portion 12 can be similarly mounted with high precision in a state where unnecessary distortion is prevented.

Further, since the mounting portion of the polygon mirror and the reflection surface can be integrally formed, the polygon mirror can be manufactured easily and at low cost.
- the polygon mirror can be mounted with high accuracy without tilting while the center axis is aligned with the rotation axis of the rotating body.
- the mirror rotates stably, and switching and running of the reflected light can be performed satisfactorily.
