ABSTRACT:
Thin film AMA in an optical projection system and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The thin film AMA has a substrate having an electrical wiring for receiving a first signal applied from outside and transmitting the first signal, a first metal layer having a connecting terminal, a first passivation layer, a second metal layer, an actuator, and a reflecting member. The actuator has a supporting layer, a bottom electrode, an active layer, and a top electrode. An incident light from a light source may be excluded by means of the second metal layer formed on the first metal layer. Mis-operation of actuator due to a photo leakage current caused by an incident light can be prevented before a first signal and a second signal are respectively applied to the bottom electrode and the top electrode.
