Abstract
A device () for variable deflection of light is described, encompassing a micromechanical mirror arrangement () having a plurality of light-reflecting mirror actuators (), and a control unit () with which the mirror actuators () are controllable into different reflection positions in order to vary the light deflection. The device () has a back-reflection structure (), systematically adapted to the mirror arrangement (), for reflecting back onto another portion of the mirror actuators (), in targeted fashion, the light reflected onto the back-reflection structure () from one portion of the mirror actuators ().
