Linear response MEMS device

A rotatable mirror structure 20 has comb electrodes at either side of the mirror which interdigitate with comb electrodes attached to a fixed supporting substrate. Linear rotation of the mirror is obtained by applying selected potentials to the electrodes. In alternative arrangements the mirror may...

Zusammenfassung:A rotatable mirror structure 20 has comb electrodes at either side of the mirror which interdigitate with comb electrodes attached to a fixed supporting substrate. Linear rotation of the mirror is obtained by applying selected potentials to the electrodes. In alternative arrangements the mirror may be substituted by microlenses, a thin film filter or a diffractive optical element.
