Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a mirror device (for a device such as an optical switch, scanner or projector) having a movable mirror structure with an attached magnet. The mirror structure is movably mounted on a base structure, which includes an actuation coil for controlling movement of the mirror structure. Another embodiment is directed to a mirror device (in a device such as an optical switch, scanner or projector) having a high mirror fill factor. The device includes a mirror mounted on a support member, which is connected to a gimbal frame. The support member includes an enlarged portion configured to at least partially extend over the gimbal frame. The mirror substantially covers the enlarged portion of the support member, thereby providing the device with a high mirror fill factor. A further embodiment is directed to a mirror support structure for a movable mirror device (in a device such as an optical switch, scanner or projector).
