Summary:Micro-electro-mechanical mirror device (1) having a fixed structure (2) defining an external frame (2') which delimits a cavity (3); a tiltable structure (4) extending into the cavity; a reflecting surface (4') carried by the tiltable structure and having a main extension in a horizontal plane (XY); an actuation structure (10), coupled between the tiltable structure (4) and the fixed structure (2). The actuation structure (10) is formed by at least one first pair of actuation arms (12A, 12B) configured to cause the rotation of the tiltable structure (2) around a first rotation axis (SA) parallel to the horizontal plane (XY). The actuation arms of the first pair of actuation arms (12A, 12B) are elastically coupled to the tiltable structure (4) through respective coupling elastic elements (14A, 14B) and are each formed by a bearing structure (15) and by a piezoelectric structure (13). The bearing structure (15) of each actuation arm of the first pair of actuation arms (12A, 12B) is formed by a soft region (56) of a first material and the coupling elastic elements (14A, 14B) are formed by a bearing layer (103) of a second material, the second material having greater stiffness than the first material.
