Abstract

A micro mirror unit includes a micro mirror substrate, a wiring substrate and an electroconductive spacer disposed between these substrates. The micro mirror substrate includes a moving part, a frame and torsion bars connecting the moving part to the frame. The moving part is provided with a mirror-formed portion. The wiring substrate is formed with a wiring pattern. The electroconductive spacer electrically connects the frame to the wiring pattern, while also providing a space between the micro mirror substrate and the wiring substrate.
