Development of Selectively Actuatable Micromirror Arrays and Scalable Lithography Processes for Large-Area Applications as Smart Window
(2023)
This thesis provides an extensive overview on the state-of-the-art daylighting systems for applications in buildings and subsequently addresses the implementation of subfield addressing in micromirror arrays and investigation of a potential scalable lithography process for the large-area fabrication, both have been identified as the research gap in achieving the envisioned application as smart window. The work is conducted in continuation of the optimized fabrication process and the successful fabrication of a lab ...

Static and Dynamic Characterization of MEMS Micromirror and Microshutter arrays: Reliability and Lifetime
(2024)
Buildings are responsible for 40 % of the primary energy consumption and 36 % of the total CO2 emissions. There is a huge potential to decrease energetic consumption for lighting and heating/cooling by substituting the 85 % of inefficient glazing areas in EU’s buildings with energy efficient smart glazing windows. A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based smart glazing system comprising of millions of micro mirrors (invisible to the bare eye) is investigated here. This concept allows dynamic light steering by ...
