Abstract

A high angular deflection micro-mirror system including a substrate, a spacer structure extending from the substrate, a deformable membrane supported by the spacer structure, one or more supports located off center on the deformable membrane, and one or more mirrors on the support cantilevered therefrom to achieve a high angular deflection of the mirrors as the deformable membranes deform.
