摘要
We have designed and fabricated polysilicon microscanners using surface micromachining technologies. The scanners have electrostatic-comb actuators to drive 300 x 400 mu m(2) micromirrors mounted on stationary frames by torsion bars. Torsion-bar mounting improves scanning precision from what is achievable using hinge mounting with journal bearings. The scans are accurate to 0.19 mad; that is a scan jitter of 0.1% of the full scale, or 9% of a pixel. A 7 x 10-pixel laser-scanning display built with a seven-element, fan-diode-laser array and a scanning polysilicon micromirror is presented. A dual-axis, raster-scanning system based on similar resonant microscanners can be integrated on a chip with the Light sources to produce compact microdisplay modules.
