ELECTROOSMOTIC MOVABLE DEVICE

摘要

An electroosmotic movable device is provided, which includes a liquid chamber that houses a liquid, a conductive movable structure that is placed in the liquid chamber and has a rotating shaft or a supporting point and further has a conductive portion, and an electrode for applying an electric field to the conductive movable structure. The conductive movable structure is enabled to move by an electroosmotic flow which occurs in an electric double layer portion formed by being paired with an electric charge induced in the conductive movable structure owing to the electric field which is applied from the electrode.

1. An electroosmotic movable valve comprising:
a channel in which a liquid flows; a conductive movable structure that is placed in the channel, and has a rotating shaft, such that the placed position of the shaft is shifted from the center of the channel; and an electrode configured to apply an electric field to the conductive movable structure, wherein the conductive movable structure is enabled to move by an electroosmotic flow owing to the electric field applied from the electrode.
