Abstract:
1. A MEMS mirror array comprising a array of two-axis MEMS mirrors comprising: A) a MEMS mirror array support frame for supporting the array of two-axis MEMS mirrors, B) a plurality of MEMS mirror units supported by said support frame, each MEMS mirror unit comprising: C) two sets of MEMS mirror array support frame conductive comb fingers rigidly extending from the MEMS mirror array support frame and positioned interspercely, in a horizontal direction, among the mirror frame conductive comb fingers and offset from said mirror frame conductive comb fingers in a vertical direction, and D) a MEMS mirror control system for supplying electrical voltage potentials between the pivoting support frame conductive comb fingers and the mirror frame conductive comb fingers and for supplying electrical voltage potentials between said MEMS mirror array support frame conductive comb fingers and the outside pivoting support frame conductive comb fingers.
