Abstract

A micro-mirror device includes a mirror forming substrate on which a mirror is disposed. A pair of torsion beams are disposed on opposing sides of the mirror forming substrate. An anchor projects from a supporting substrate, supporting the ends of the torsion beams. A driving frame surrounds at least one side of the torsion beams and is connected to the mirror forming substrate through a link beam. A drive force generator drives the driving frame.
