A method for the manufacture of an array of MxN thin film actuated mirrors for use in an optical projection system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: providing an active matrix; depositing a thin film sacrificial layer; creating an array of empty cavities in the thin film sacrificial layer; forming an array of actuating structures on top of the thin film sacrificial layer including the empty cavities, each of the actuating structures including a first thin film electrode, a thin film electrodisplacive member, a second thin film electrode and an elastic member; forming a thin film protection layer completely covering each of the actuating structures; removing the thin film sacrificial layer by using an etchant; rinsing away the etchant by using a rinse which is DI water or hydrophilic and volatile; removing the rinse by a spin drying method followed by a heat treatment; and removing the thin film protection layer, thereby forming the array of thin film actuated mirrors.
