Micro-mirror device with increased mirror tilt

摘要

A micro-mirror device includes a substrate, at least one electrode formed on the substrate, and a reflective element spaced from the substrate and extending beyond the at least one electrode. The reflective element is adapted to move between a first position and at least one second position, and, when the reflective element is in the at least one second position, a minimum distance between the reflective element and the at least one electrode is greater than a minimum distance between the reflective element and the substrate.
