<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an actuator that has a simple configuration and can be driven by simple control. <P>SOLUTION: An actuator (2) comprises: a thin film (16) composed of a shear piezoelectric material; a first electrode formed on a first primary surface of the thin film (16); and a second electrode formed on a second primary surface of the thin film (16). The application of a predetermined AC voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode generates driving force at at least one end edge portion of the thin film (16). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
