Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006005303A1] The invention relates to a device for concentrating incident light (7), particularly sunlight, comprised of a number of adjacently arranged reflector units each having at least one displaceable reflective surface (2), a drive unit for displacing the reflective surface (2), and a control unit, which is connected to the drive units and designed so that it controls the drive units according the incidence of light in order to concentrate the incident light (7). The at least one reflective surface (2) of each reflector unit has a surface area ranging from 10<SUP>-8</SUP> m<SUP>2</SUP> to 0.5 m<SUP>2</SUP>, and can be displaced about at least two axes (3), and the drive units are provided in the form of microactuators.
