Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble ruban de micromiroirs qui comprend plusieurs structures de micromiroirs bidimensionnelles présentant des caractéristiques de déviation et autres améliorées. Dans les structures de micromiroirs, des électrodes de déviation électrostatique sont disposées en entités coniques ou quasi coniques usinées, fixées ou moulées dans un substrat. Les électrodes sont disposées en quartiers approximativement parallèles ou décalés de 45 degrés relativement à des axes de rotation afin de former des quadrants. Des détecteurs à torsion sont disposés les long des axes de rotation pour contrôler la déviation des électrodes de déviation à quadrants.
