Abstract
A light projection system includes a base, a lens, and a set of flexures flexibly attaching the lens to the base. The light projection system further includes a board fixedly attached to the base, and a light source mounted on the board and spaced apart from the lens along an optical axis of the lens. The light source is configured to emit a light beam to be projected by the lens toward a scene. The light projection system further includes a driving mechanism configured to scan the lens via the set of flexures in a plane substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens, thereby scanning the light beam emitted by the light source over the scene.
