We have proposed a new method of transmissive multi-view autostereoscopic display, designed, and fabricated a micromirror array actuated by both external magnetic field and Lorentz force. In this method, time-series pixel data are projected into the discrete directions by vibrating the double-sided micromirrors as scanners. The fabricated micromirror is 400 µm × 500 µm, and the length, width, and thickness of the hinges made of Ni are 50 µm, 20 µm, 150 nm, respectively. The angular deflection of the fabricated micromirror was measured, and the ranges of the both displacements are large enough to be used in our system.
