Abstract
An improved method for manufacturing an array of M.times.N thin film actuated mirrors comprises the steps of: providing a base having a flat top surface; forming sequentially a separation layer, a first thin film layer, and a thin film electrodisplacive layer on the top surface of the base; heat treating the thin film electrodisplacive layer to allow a phase transition to take place; forming sequentially a second thin film layer, a elastic layer, and a thin film sacrificial layer on top of the thin film electrodisplacive layer; forming an array of M.times.N empty slots to the sacrificial layer; forming a supporting layer on top of the sacrificial layer; forming an array of M.times.N conduits, each of the conduits passing through the supporting layer and each of the empty slots to thereby form a multilayer structure; forming an array of M.times.N transistors on top of the multilayer structure to thereby form a semifinished actuated mirror structure; attaching an active matrix to the semifinished actuated mirror structure; separating the base from the semifinished actuated mirror structure by removing the separation layer to thereby form an actuated mirror structure; patterning the actuated mirror structure into an array of M.times.N semifinished actuated mirrors; and removing the thin film sacrificial layer to thereby form the array of M.times.N thin film actuated mirrors.
