Abstract
A micromirror actuator assembly includes a lower printed circuit board (PCB), an upper PCB, and a frame spaced away from the lower PCB and spaced away from the upper PCB between the lower PCB and the upper PCB. A micromirror is rotatably attached to the frame. A plurality of piezoelectric actuators are affixed to the frame and configured to selectively deform the frame to scan the micromirror.
