  • Patent number: 9910269
    Abstract: A MEMS-micro-mirror (30) is provided comprising a mirror body (50) that is rotatably arranged in a mirror frame (60) around a rotation axis (58) extending in a plane defined by the mirror body. The rotation axis extends through a first and a second mutually opposite end-portion (51, 53) of the mirror body. The mirror has a reflective first main surface (55) and opposite said first main surface a second main surface (57) provided with a first and a second pair of reinforcement beams. The pair of reinforcement beams (91a, 91b) extends from the first end-portion (51) in mutually opposite directions away from the rotation axis. The second pair of reinforcement beams (93a, 93b) extends from the second end-portion (53) in mutually opposite directions away from the rotation axis. Reinforcement beams of said first pair extend towards respective ones of said second pair.

  • Patent number: 9588337
    Abstract: A MEMS micromirror (30) is presented including a frame (60) with a mirror body (50) arranged therein, a cantilever beam assembly (70) and vertical support beams (40). The mirror body (50) is rotatable around a rotation axis (58) extending in a plane (x-y) defined by the frame (60). The cantilever beam assembly (70) has a longitudinal direction and extends within said plane. The vertical support beams (40) are connected between the mirror body (50) and the frame (60) along the rotation axis (58). The cantilever beam assembly (70) has a cantilever beam (72), being coupled at a first end via relief means (74) to the frame (60) and fixed at a second end (722) to the mirror body (50). The cantilever beam (72) has a thickness, perpendicular to a plane of the frame (60), that is smaller than its width in the plane of the frame (60).

  • Publication number: 20140300942
    Abstract: A MEMS micromirror (30) is presented including a frame (60) with a mirror body (50) arranged therein. The mirror body (50) is rotatable around a rotation axis (58) extending in a plane (x-y) defined by the frame (60). The MEMS micromirror (30) further includes at least one cantilever beam assembly (70) having a longitudinal direction and extending within said plane. The MEMS micromirror (30) also includes vertical support beams (40) connected between the mirror body (50) and the frame (60) along the rotation axis (58). The at least one cantilever beam assembly (70) has a cantilever beam (72) with a first and a second end (721, 722) and a relief means (74) at the first end (721) allowing for a translation of the cantilever beam (72) at its first end (721) in said longitudinal direction. The first end (721) is coupled via the relief means (74) to the frame (60) and the second end (722) is fixed to the mirror body (50).
