Abstract
A method of manufacturing a light modulator in which micromirrors are tilted by an electrostatic force generated by an electrical potential difference between drive electrodes and the micromirrors. The method includes integrally forming support sections disposed at fulcrum points for tilting the micromirrors and axis portions forming axes for tilting the micromirrors.
