DEFLECTION DEVICE WITH A MIRROR FOR USE IN SCANNER TECHNICAL FIELD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18196686 titled 'DEFLECTION DEVICE WITH A MIRROR FOR USE IN SCANNER TECHNICAL FIELD
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a deflection device for use in a scanner.
- The deflection device includes a substrate, a mirror, and actuator means.
- The mirror is arranged in a recess in the substrate and can rotate about at least two axes in an oscillatory manner.
- The actuator means cause the mirror to oscillate.
- The actuator means are arranged in one or more trenches in the substrate surrounding the recess.
- A change of shape of the actuator means will cause a movement in the substrate, inducing oscillatory movement of the mirror.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides a deflection device () for use in a scanner. The deflection device () includes a substrate (), a mirror () and actuator means (). The mirror () arranged in a recess () in the substrate () by connector means () in such a way that it can rotate about at least two axes in an oscillatory manner. The actuator means () causes the mirror () to oscillate. The actuator means () are arranged in one or more trenches (A-D) in the substrate () surrounding the recess (), in such a way that a change of shape of the actuator means () will cause a movement in the substrate (), thereby inducing oscillatory movement of the mirror ().
