Disclosed are a transparent optical shutter which may be manufactured at the wafer level, and a method of manufacturing a transparent optical shutter at the wafer level. In the disclosed optical shutter, a polymer-based material is used as a transparent protective layer for ensuring the mechanical or chemical stability of the optical shutter, and thus, the shutter may be manufactured at the wafer level in large quantities. Also, a layer which is optically transparent and has excellent heat conductivity is disposed under the transparent protective layer.
