Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a micro-electromechanical device, comprising the steps of: providing a substrate incorporating drive circuitry; forming an elongate drive member on the substrate having an electrical circuit in electrical contact with the drive circuitry for receiving an electrical signal therefrom, so that the drive member has a fixed end fast with the substrate and a free end arranged to be displaced relative to the substrate on receipt of the electrical signal by the electrical circuit; forming a motion-transmitting member fast with the free end of the drive member so as to be displaceable with the free end of the drive member when the electrical signal is received; and forming a working member fast with the motion-transmitting member so that the motion-transmitting member interposes the separately formed drive member and working member, the working member being displaceable with the motion-transmitting member so as to perform work.
