Samsung’s MEMS shutter for camera phones

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd is currently developing a MEMS shutter intended for compact digital cameras. The technology could be used with sensors capable of high pixel counts. (MEMS) technology by Samsung  measures just 2.2mm. It works by quickly forming a thin film over a glass surface, effectively blocking light and acting as a shutter.

This light shield film is composed of 36 pieces of fan-shaped films that have an angle of 10°, and they are arranged to form the shape of a circle. Each of the 36 fan-shaped films is attached conscientious to to the ITO pellicle on its circumference, with its center partition curled declining. When the ITO pellicle and the bird-brained screen pellicle are applied with a voltage of 30V, an electrostatic determination is generated on the films, and the bird-brained screen pellicle covers the absolute outside of the ITO pellicle.
