Provided are an optical scanner including a micro-mirror having an
improved a driving angle by using a micro-electro-mechanical system
(MEMS) technique and a laser image projector using the same are provided.
The optical scanner includes: a substrate; a mirror unit suspended over
the substrate and spaced apart from the substrate by a predetermined
distance; a supporter situated on the substrate and supporting both ends
of the mirror unit so that the mirror unit is suspended over the
substrate; a supporting axis connected between both ends of the mirror
unit and the supporter so that the mirror unit can be rotatably supported
by the supporter; a plurality of movable comb electrodes vertically
formed on both sides of the mirror unit; and a plurality of static comb
electrodes vertically formed on the substrate in such a way that the
static comb electrodes alternate with the movable comb electrodes,
wherein the static comb electrode is a two-layer structured electrode.
