    Abstract: A MEMS RF-switch is provided for controlling switching on/off of transmission of AC signals. The MEMS RF-switch of the present invention includes: a first electrode coupled to one terminal of the power source; a semiconductor layer combined with an upper surface of the first electrode, and forming a potential barrier to become insulated when a bias signal is applied from the power source; and a second electrode disposed at a predetermined distance away from the semiconductor layer, and being coupled to the other terminal of the power source, wherein the second electrode contacts the semiconductor layer when a bias signal is applied from the power source. Therefore, although the bias signal may not be cut off, free electrons and holes are recombined in the semiconductor layer, whereby charge buildup and sticking can be prevented.

    Abstract: An RF MEMS switch having asymmetrical spring rigidity. The RF MEMS switch has supporting members spaced apart in a certain interval on a substrate, a membrane being a motion member suspended by plural spring members extended on both sides of the membrane, and a bottom electrode being a contact surface on an upper surface of the substrate facing a bottom surface of the membrane, wherein the plural spring members placed on opposite sides of the membrane have asymmetrical rigidity, and a portion of the membrane on a side of stronger spring rigidity is first separated from the contact surface when the RF MEMS switch is turned off. The present invention has an advantage of easy separation of the switch from the contact surface, when the switch is turned off, due to the different rigidity of the springs located on the sides of the membrane.

    Abstract: A micro shutter device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. A barrier is provided to define a unit pixel. Film actuators are formed within the unit pixel. The film actuators are configured to be bent in opposite directions to each other from a substrate so that light passing through the substrate from an external light source is blocked in a voltage non-applied state, and to be straightened perpendicularly to the substrate so that the light is transmitted upon voltage application. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the aperture ratio and thus improve the light efficiency. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce voltage necessary to drive the film actuators and thus increase the drive speed.
