An actuated film display device comprises a first fixed electrode, a first movable
film electrode, which is placed to face the first fixed electrode to form a first
optical path on an opposing side to the first fixed electrode, and which has a
fixed end and a movable end, the movable end being displaced toward the first fixed
electrode by application of a first potential difference between the first fixed
electrode and the first movable film electrode, thereby shutting off the first
optical path, a second fixed electrode placed at a predetermined distance from
the first fixed electrode, and a second movable film electrode, which is placed
to face the second fixed electrode to form a second optical path on an opposing
side to the second fixed electrode, which has a fixed end and a movable end, the
movable end being displaced toward the second fixed electrode by application of
a second potential difference between the second fixed electrode and the second
movable film electrode, thereby shutting off the second optical path. The display
device having the above-described optical shutter as one pixel can display gray
scale without using numerous signal lines and scanning lines.
