A Micromirror for Optical Projection Displays
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a tilting micro mirror with a large mirror surface of up to 2.5 mm x 1.0 mm and a large rotation angle of +/10° as needed for optical projection displays. The mirror is driven by vertical comb-drive actuators which are realized by a combination of deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and a buried mask to provide selfalignment of the stator and rotor fingers in a silicon on insulator (SOI) wafer. Measurement results are shown for various realized mirror designs.

Design of illumination and projection optics for projectors with single digital micromirror devices.
We present a new optical system design for a projector with a single digital micromirror device (Texas Instruments Digital Micromirror Device) that improves on previous designs in terms of optical efficiency, uniformity, and contrast while yielding a low-profile and compact system. A rod integrator is incorporated with a compact relay system to maximize light efficiency and to increase illumina...
متن کاملMEMS Display: Emerging Technology for Next Generation Avionics Display
Avionics display systems using CRTs as core of the projection system suffer from reliability issues added to increased weight and cost of the associated circuitry. Though CRTs offer some advantages in the form of good brightness and contrast ratio even in the high ambient light conditions, recent advancement in microelectomechanical system (MEMS) based display technology ushered in an era of mi...
متن کاملLifetime Estimates and Unique Failure Mechanisms of the Digital Micromirror Device (DMD)
The Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) has made great strides in both performance and reliability. Each device consists of more than 500,000 individually addressable micromirrors. Digital Light Processing technology, based on the DMD, has been used in such diverse products as projection displays with film-like projected images and photographic-quality printers. Reliability testing of the DMD has ...
متن کاملImage Quality Analysis and Optical Performance Requirement for Micromirror-Based Lissajous Scanning Displays
Micromirror-based scanning displays have been the focus of a variety of applications. Lissajous scanning displays have advantages in terms of power consumption; however, the image quality is not good enough. The main reason for this is the varying size and the contrast ratio of pixels at different positions of the image. In this paper, the Lissajous scanning trajectory is analyzed and a new met...
متن کاملMems-based Light Valves for Ultra-high Resolution Projection Displays
Ultra-high resolution projectors will improve the visual systems of military flight simulators dramatically. There are changes in aspect angle and aspect rate which fixed-wing fighter pilots can discriminate at long standoff distances, but which cannot be displayed with adequate resolution by the visual systems of contemporary flight simulators. At present the limit of display resolution is fix...
