Patent ID: 8488224

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a scanning body comprising a mirror supported by one or more flexures along a first axis; one or more support structures coupled to the one or more flexures; and one or more drive combs disposed on the one or more support structures, the one or more drive combs being oriented parallel to the first axis and facing away from the mirror, the one or more drive combs being centered on a centerline of the mirror orthogonal to the first axis, wherein the drive combs cause the mirror to rotate about the first axis in response to a drive signal applied to the drive combs; wherein the one or more drive combs are supported by the one or more support structures at centers of the drive combs and not at ends of the drive combs, and wherein the one or more support structures are tuned to reduce non-uniformity of warping of the support structures to reduce variation in disengagement of the drive combs along a length of the drive combs.
