Abstract
An oscillating structure includes first and second torsional elastic elements that define an axis of rotation and a moving element that is interposed between the first and second torsional elastic elements. The moving element, the first torsional elastic element and the second torsional elastic element lie in a first plane and are not in direct contact with one another. A coupling structure mechanically couples the moving element, the first torsional elastic element and the second torsional elastic element together. The moving element, the first torsional elastic element and the second torsional elastic element lie in a second plane different from the first plane. Oscillation of the moving element occurs as a result of a twisting of the first and second torsional elastic elements.
