Abstract
A mirror device includes a mirror () which is supported to be pivotable with respect to a mirror substrate (), a driving electrode (---) which is formed on an electrode substrate () facing the mirror substrate, and an antistatic structure () which is arranged in a space between the mirror and the electrode substrate. This structure can fix the potential of the lower surface of the mirror and suppress drift of the mirror by applying a second potential to the antistatic structure.
