Abstract

See full text

A variable-wavelength interference filter includes: a first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a first reflection layer provided on a surface facing the second substrate, of the first substrate; a second reflection layer which is provided on a surface facing the first substrate, of the second substrate, and faces the first reflection layer via an inter-layer gap; and an electrostatic actuator which flexes the second substrate in a direction toward the first substrate and thus changes the inter-layer gap. The first reflection layer and the second reflection layer have a reflectance characteristic showing a higher reflectance to light with a second wavelength that is shorter than a first wavelength, than a reflectance to light with the first wavelength.
