ABSTRACT:
A spatial light modulating apparatus to display a steroscopic image constructed by a light source section, a mirror section, and a light deflecting section. The device structures are two-dimensionally arranged on a substrate surface. The light source sections are 2-dimensionally arranged on the apparatus substrate at a predetermined period interval (P) and modulate a light intensity by an external signal, thereby displaying an image. The reflecting surfaces of the mirror sections are periodically arranged in correspondence to the light source sections. The mirror sections change the direction of each of the reflecting surfaces by an external signal, thereby angle modulating the incident light. Further, the light deflecting sections are arranged in the upper portion in the light emitting direction from the plurality of light source sections and allow the lights emitted from the light source sections to enter the corresponding mirror sections.
