1. Apparatus for display of an image, in regard to a limited region of interest, comprising:

  • a) a light source which emits light;

    (b) a substrate that serves as a support;

    (c) a cantilever comprising a fixed end and a free end, the fixed end remaining fixed to the substrate and the free end extending freely relative to the substrate, enabling the free end to move in the limited region of interest to scan light onto an image plane to create an image;

    (d) an actuator disposed adjacent to the cantilever and being employed for deflecting the cantilever so as to move the free end in a desired motion, and (e) a position sensor employed for detecting a position of the free end of the cantilever, for producing a signal used in controlling the actuator to cause the cantilever to move in the desired motion.
