Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010068962A1] A digital micro-mirror device comprising an array of micro-mirror assemblies positioned on a substrate. Each micro-mirror assembly comprises: a mirror spaced apart from the substrate; a stem supporting the mirror; and first and second electrodes positioned on either side of the stem. The stem is comprised of a resiliently flexible material, such that the mirror can tilt either towards the first electrode or towards the second electrode by an electrostatic force. The digital micro-mirror device may be used in data projectors and the like.
