Abstract
A touch screen display includes a screen, a bezel around the screen, and a MEMS package located within the bezel. The MEMS package comprises a MEMS scanning mirror and the top of the MEMS package is located below the top of the screen. At rest, a reflecting surface of the MEMS scanning mirror is parallel or slightly tilted relative to the screen but not substantially perpendicular to the screen. The display further includes a fixed mirror located in the bezel above the MEMS scanning mirror.
