FLUIDIC ACTUATOR AND DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING FLUIDIC ACTUATORS

摘要

The fluidic actuator (12) according to the invention comprises a chamber (32B) filled with a fluid, an element (36) that is movable relative to the chamber (32B) and in contact with the fluid, as well as a passage (44) for circulating the fluid between the inside and the outside of the chamber (32B) so as to vary the quantity of fluid in the chamber and thus cause movement of the movable element (36). The fluid is magneto-rheological and the fluidic actuator (12) comprises magnetic field generation means (26, 28) arranged so as to generate, within the passage (44), a controlled magnetic field.
