ABSTRACT:
A microceramic electromagnetic light shutter is disclosed including a unitary ceramic body having an internal cavity. A conductive coil is formed in the internal cavity. The unitary ceramic body defines a first and second bearing structure on it's surface. The unitary ceramic body has a light aperture and first and second recesses. The microceramic electromagnetic light shutter further includes a shutter drive mechanism including a shutter blade and a ferromagnetic element inserted into the first recess and operative to the shutter drive mechanism for applying a torque to the shutter drive mechanism which causes the shutter drive mechanism to move so that the shutter blade is in it's light blocking position. The shutter drive mechanism is mounted in the second recess an in an operative relationship to the coil and ferromagnetic element. The shutter blade is movable between a light blocking and light passing positions relative to the light aperture so that when a drive voltage is applied to the coil a field is created by the coil which provides a torque to the shutter drive mechanism to overcome the torque applied by the ferromagnetic element thereby causing the shutter blade to move to the light passing position. When the drive voltage is discontinued the ferromagnetic element provides a torque on the shutter mechanism causing the shutter blade to return to the light blocking position.
