A high-frequency comb-actuated resonant MEMS scanner for microdisplays

A high-frequency novel torsional MEMS scanner is developed for high resolution microdisplays employing a multi-frame geometry. For the torsional mirror, 26.7° and 36.1° total-optical-scan-angle are achieved at resonance, at atmospheric pressure and vacuum respectively.
