Well, I did hesitate when I was writing that statement, and technically you are right that microscopic mirrors positioned by electrostatic forces are electromechanical. :) My original point, and what my complete sentence said, is that the this one large solid state chip is able to serve as in advanced automotive lighting functions without all of the (currently used) electromechanical mechanisms. It really is quite different and has unique advantages.
