MEMS Laser Scanners: A Review
Abstract
Laser scanners have been an integral part of MEMS research for more than three decades. During the last decade, miniaturized projection displays and various medical-imaging applications became the main driver for progress in MEMS laser scanners. Portable and truly miniaturized projectors became possible with the availability of red, green, and blue diode lasers during the past few years. Inherent traits of the laser scanning technology, such as the very large color gamut, scalability to higher resolutions within the same footprint, and capability of producing an always-in-focus image render it a very viable competitor in mobile projection. Here, we review the requirements on MEMS laser scanners for the demanding display applications, performance levels of the best scanners in the published literature, and the advantages and disadvantages of electrostatic, electromagnetic, piezoelectric, and mechanically coupled actuation principles. Resonant high-frequency scanners, low-frequency linear scanners, and 2-D scanners are included in this review.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
