A piezoelectric/electrostrictive (P/E) device includes a pair of mutually opposing metal thin plate sections, a movable section, and a fixation section for supporting the thin plate sections and the movable section. One or more piezoelectric/electrostrictive elements are arranged on at least one thin plate section of the pair of thin plate sections. Any one of the movable section and the fixation section has mutually opposing end surfaces, and a distance between the end surfaces is not less than the axial length of the movable section. |
