摘要：

This paper presents an effective method of linearizing the electrostatic transfer characteristics of micromachined two-dimensional (2-D) scanners, The orthogonal scan angles of surface micromachined polysilicon scanner are controlled by using quadrant electrodes for electrostatic actuation, By using a pair of differential voltages over a bias voltage, we could improve the distortion of projected images from 72% to only 13%, A theoretical model has been developed to predict the angle-voltage transfer characteristics of the 2-D scanner. The simulation results agree very well with experimental data. Differential voltage operation has been found to suppress the crosstalk of two orthogonal scan axes by both experimentally and theoretically. We have found that a circular mirror is expected to have the lowest angular distortion compared with square mirrors. Perfect grid scanning pattern of small distortion (0.33%) has been successfully obtained by predistorting the driving voltages after calibration.
