Development of electrostatically driven micromirror arrays for daylight guiding on large areas

Abstract

We present our results on light guiding micromirror arrays for large area implementation in windows and discuss their benefits and their future potential. Latest actuation results are shown.

Optical MEMS-based micromirror arrays for active light steering in smart windows

“…We proposed the methodology in 2003 [14][15][16][17] and research work has been published subsequently. [18][19][20] Figure 1 illustrates a MEMS-based active window in a room providing a smart personal environment beneficial for users. For intuitive reasons, the micromirrors are shown by unrealistically large black bars in the window for clear identification.…”
