The light modulator (1) for modulating light has a light modulating element (2) and a controller (100,95). For the light modulator (1) to have a stack of at least two differently addressable media, which light modulator (1) can relatively easy be manufactured, the light modulating element (2) has a first and a second medium, each medium extending in a first direction (22) and having a physical state depending on potentials applied to the first and the second medium, and an optical state depending on the physical states. Furthermore, the controller (100,95) is arranged for bringing the first and the second medium in physical states for modulating the light, the controller (100,95) having a configuration of electrodes (95), the configuration extending in the first direction (22); the first medium, the second medium and the configuration of electrodes (95) forming a stack; the electrodes of the configuration (95) being arranged for applying the potentials to the first and the second medium; and decoupling means arranged for decoupling a change in physical state of the first medium from a change in physical state of the second medium in response to the applied potentials. ® KIPO & WIPO 2008
