摘要:
A micromirror actuator includes: a substrate; spring units elastically supported by protrusion formed on the substrate; a micromirror connected to the spring units and formed to be capable of rotating; trenches formed in the substrate at either side of the protrusions to correspond to the surface of the micromirror; and lower electrodes formed in each of the trenches. Accordingly, it is possible to expand the range of the driving angle of the micromirror with the use of a lower voltage.

An apparatus for jetting a fluid to an exterior through a nozzle by exerting a driving force to the fluid held within a jetting fluid chamber and method of manufacturing the same. The apparatus employs an electrostatic force as the driving force for a driving part which is to be exerted to the fluid. The driving part for exerting the driving force to the fluid has upper and lower electrodes which are oppositely spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance. The upper electrode is disposed within the interior of a membrane. Here, the membrane forms the lower surface of the jetting fluid chamber. Accordingly, the membrane is driven by the upper electrode which is displaced upward and downward due to the electrostatic force generated between the upper and lower electrodes, so that the driving force is exerted to the fluid within the jetting fluid chamber, and the fluid is jetted to the exterior through the nozzle.

An actuator having an asymmetric rigid structure for changing an optical beam path. The actuator has a base plate installed in a cover, first electrodes installed on an upper surface of the base plate by evaporation, a driving electrode disposed between the first electrodes, a pair of support plates each installed on a respective one of the first electrodes for receiving a voltage from the first electrodes, a reflecting plate disposed between the pair of support plates for reflecting an incident beam emitted from a beam source, and asymmetric members connected to the reflecting plate for adjusting an incident path of the incident beam and an inclination angle of a reflection beam with respect to the incident beam. The actuator can easily adjust the incident path of the incident beam and an inclination angle of the reflection beam with respect to the incident beam by asymmetrically inclining the reflecting plate. The actuator has only one driving electrode so that the driving conduit thereof is simply formed and reliable operation thereof is be attained.
