Abstract
A direct drive scanning micromirror includes a mirror body defining a mirror surface, and a plurality of curved cantilevers that each extend directly from the mirror body. The shape of the cantilevers and the geometry of the interface between the cantilevers and the mirror body are configured to decrease peak stresses within the micromirror during operation, which may beneficially impact performance and lifetime.
