Optical scanning endoscope

An optical scanning endo scope, comprising:

• an optical fiber configured to guide light entering from an incident end thereof to an emitting end thereof and to emit the light from the emitting end;
• a fiber driver arranged in vicinity of the emitting end of the optical fiber and comprising a plurality of actuators, the plurality of actuators being configured to bend the optical fiber by pressing lateral sides of the optical fiber in directions orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber;
• a mounting member comprising a substantially cylindrical molded interconnect device with a surface, on which a plurality of wiring patterns are provided, the mounting member supporting the fiber driver along a cylinder axis;
• a control circuit configured to transmit driving signals to each of the plurality of actuators and to control an amount of bending and a direction of bending of the optical fiber;
• and
• a wiring member configured to electrically connect the plurality of wiring patterns of the mounting member with the control circuit,
• wherein the mounting member comprises a plane section an outer periphery of a cylindrical surface of the mounting member on a proximal-end face side of the mounting member;
• wherein the plurality of wiring patterns are arranged such that end portions thereof on one side are positioned on the plane section to provide a plurality of soldering lands thereat, the plurality of wiring patterns including at least a plurality of first patterns, each end portion of which on the other side is electrically connected with one of the plurality of actuators respectively on the proximal-end face of the mounting member;
• and
• wherein the wiring member is connected to the plurality of soldering lands.
