Abstract
An image producing apparatus includes a photoconductor. A photonic energy device is positioned adjacent the photoconductor. A reflecting member is located adjacent the photonic energy device, whereby at least a portion of the reflecting member is operable to deform upon application of an electrical voltage in order to direct photonic energy from the photonic energy device towards the photoconductor with the reflecting member. The reflecting member may direct the photonic energy from the photonic energy device towards the surface of the photoconductor in order to discharge portions of the surface of the photoconductor to produce an image.
