Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006114127A1] The present invention relates to a MEMS device including at least one pixel element (132); said pixel element (132) including, a support structure (134), at least one deflectable reflective surface (135) supported by said support structure (134), at least one deflectable electrode surface (146, 148), which electrode surface (146, 148) is essentially perpendicular to said deflectable reflective surface (135), said electrode surface (146, 148) is electrostatically attractable by a standing bar (160, 170) arranged in between pixel elements (132), wherein said standing bar is attracting a greater portion of said electrode surface (146, 148) on a first side of the tilting axis of said pixel element (132) compared to a second side of the tilting axis of said pixel element (132).The invention also relates to a method for operating a MEMS device.
