Abstract:
1. An optical deflecting device, comprising: a substrate; a fulcrum member formed on the substrate; a plate member configured to rest on the fulcrum, the plate member including a reflective upper surface and a conductive lower surface; a plurality of electrodes formed on the substrate and configured to control an inclination of the plate member with respect to the fulcrum member by applying electric potential to the conductive lower surface of the plate member; a plurality of regulation members formed on the substrate and configured to regulate the range of movement of the plate member, wherein at least a portion of the surfaces of each of the plurality of regulation members are conductive; and a touchdown member formed on the substrate and configured to make contact with the plate member, wherein the plurality of regulation members, the touchdown member and the fulcrum member are configured to be electrically connected.
