  • Abstract
    We have developed a simple assembly technology to realize the tilted vertical combs for electrostatic micromirror scanners. The in-plane vertical comb electrodes are easily transformed into out-of-plane tilted comb by asymmetrical pushing down the levers of the spring that is attached to the micro mirror. The fabricated mirror scanner showed the optical scan angle of up to 1.3deg at 60 V and the resonant frequency of 3.15 kHz.
