Abstract

This paper presents likely the world's smallest electrostatic visible light highly space-efficient transmissive micro-optical switches (TMOS) for an integrated MEMS optical display system. Each TMOS represents one pixel with 150μmx150μm spacing in a display module. It is demonstrated that a zigzag electrostatic actuator of 47μmx160μm size can achieve a maximum static lateral displacement of 10μm at 38 V. Depending on the zigzag actuator design, these devices have a mechanical resonance frequency of up to 18.6 kHz.
