Abstract
A driving method of a spatial light modulator array having plural spatial light modulators of micro-electro-mechanical system, the plural spatial light modulators each including: a movable part supported to be capable of being elastically displaced and provided with a movable electrode; and a fixed electrode disposed to face the movable part, wherein in a case where the voltages are applied to the electrodes and the movable part is driven and displaced in a fixed electrode direction, an absolute value of an inter-electrode voltage between the movable electrode and the fixed electrode is decreased while the movable part is transitioning in a direction of the fixed electrode.
