  • Abstract
    A micromirror device is developed realizing the large-rotation and the low-voltage driving (obtained maximum value is 8.6 degrees at 5 V). The thin film torsion bars, which consist of SiN and Au/Cr films, contribute to this performance. Inside the torsion bar, the tension is included for generating the compliance in the mirror rotation and stiffness in other movements. The performance of the torsion bar is investigated
