1. An array-type light modulation element drive method comprising steps of:

  • arranging a plurality of electromechanical light modulation elements for executing light modulation by displacement operation of respective flexible sections of the light modulation elements by an electrostatic force and elastic restoration operation of the flexible sections, selecting a pixel associated with one of the plurality of the electromechanical light modulation elements, giving a data signal to an electrode of the selected pixel for driving the selected pixel, and providing an AC signal to an electrode of said one of the plurality of electromechanical light modulation elements for executing AC drive of said one light modulation element.
