ABSTRACT:
A rotational micro mirror is rapidly driven, has a large driving angle, and is structurally stable. The rotational micro mirror includes: a substrate; a reflection plate which is rotatable and reflects light; a pair of torsion springs which support opposite ends of the reflection plate so that the reflection plate is raised from the substrate, and acting as a rotation axis when the reflection plate is rotationally driven; a pair of frames which are connected to the reflection plate without connecting to the torsion springs and are symmetrically formed with respect to the torsion springs; frame supporting units which connect the reflection plate and the frames; and a driving unit including moving combs disposed on the frames and static combs disposed on the substrate and respectively corresponding to the moving combs in order to generate an electrostatic force.
