PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the displacement amount of elastic deformation and the deterioration in the response speed of an actuator when the actuator is elastically deformed. SOLUTION: The actuator is elastically deformed by applying a voltage across plate-like electrode 2a and 2b between which an electrolytic layer 3 is arranged. The electrodes 2a and 2b are provided with a conductive polymer and conductive materials brought into contact with the polymer. Since the conductive materials have powdery structure, meshlike structure, or porous structure, the deterioration of the electrical contact between the conductive polymers and conductive materials can be prevented when the actuator is elastically deformed. Consequently, the displacement amount of the elastic deformation and the deterioration in the response speed of the actuator when the actuator is elastically deformed can be suppressed. |
