Abstract:
A deflector unit for a light scanning system includes a mirror and at least one actuator arm. The actuator arm may include an anchor end and a coupler end. The at least one actuator arm may include an anchor end, a coupler end, and an actuator axis that extends from a first midpoint to a second midpoint, the first midpoint being a midpoint of an edge of the at least one actuator arm at the coupler end and the second midpoint being a midpoint of an edge of the at least one actuator arm at the anchor end, the mirror being coupled to the coupler end of the at least one actuator arm, wherein the mirror is configured to tilt about at least one tilting axis in response to a movement of the at least one actuator arm, and wherein a shortest distance of the mirror from the first midpoint is less than a shortest distance of the mirror from the second midpoint.
