<p>A piezoelectric/electrostrictive device comprises a pair of mutually opposing thin plate sections (12a,12b) and a fixation section (14) for supporting the thin plate sections (12a,12b), which are formed with ceramics in an integrated manner; an object (18) attached between forward end portions of the pair of thin plate sections (12a,12b); and piezoelectric/electrostrictive elements (20a,20b) arranged on side surfaces of the pair of thin plate sections (12a,12b) respectively; wherein an areal size of a surface of the object (18) contacting to the thin plate section (12a,12b) is larger than an areal size of an object attachment surface (34a,34b) of the thin plate section (12a,12b). The object (18) is secured by means of an adhesive (36). <IMAGE></p> |
