Honeycomb-type piezoelectric/electrostrictive element

摘要

A honeycomb-type piezoelectric/electrostrictive element includes a honeycomb structure section (1) having a partition wall (3) which partitions cells (2) passing through the honeycomb structure section (1) in an axial direction, and an electrode (internal electrode) (5) disposed on an inner wall surface (4) of the cell (2) to internally cover the entire inner wall surface (4), wherein the partition wall (3) is formed of a piezoelectric/electrostrictive body, and the honeycomb structure section (1) can be deformed by applying a voltage between the electrodes (internal electrodes) (5) disposed in the cells (2) adjacent through the partition wall (3).
