Problems solved by technology

[0006] In the case of using an external piezoelectric actuator forming a curved cantilever such as figure 1 In the shown two-dimensional MEMS scanning mirror structure, when using an angle sensor such as a piezoelectric effect to sense the deflection angle of the mirror 10 rotating around the X-axis and / or Y-axis, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the output signal of the angle sensor Lower, it will cause the reduction of detection accuracy, thus affecting the accuracy of actuator control
For MEMS scanning mirrors of various structures, one of the main reasons for the low signal-to-noise ratio of the output signal of the angle sensor is that the angle sensor of the piezoelectric effect is a variable capacitance element, and the thermal noise is caused by the resistance of the readout circuit connected to it. value, while conventional voltage reading methods usually use high-resistance components, so the noise in the low frequency range increases

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser projection. More specifically, it relates to a MEMS scanning mirror and a laser projector. Background technique [0002] A laser projector using a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System, Micro Electro Mechanical System) scanning mirror has the advantages of low cost and miniaturization, and has a broad market prospect. [0003] Traditional MEMS scanning mirrors often use torsion bar actuation. The mirror is tilted and twisted by two, three or more torsion bars supporting the mirror to perform optical scanning. Resonant drive is used to achieve large scans. Angle, it is necessary to match the resonant frequency of the tilting motion of the mirror with the driving frequency through structural design. [0004] When driving the MEMS scanning mirror or monitoring the mirror angle, in order to maintain the resonance state, the current method is to set an angle sensor for sensing the deflection angle of t...
