<p>A piezoelectric/electrostrictive device comprises a pair of mutually opposing thin plate sections (12a, 12b) made of metal and a fixation section (14) for supporting the thin plate sections (12a, 12b); an object (18) attached to forward end portions of the pair of thin plate sections (12a, 12b); and one or more piezoelectric/electrostrictive elements (20a, 20b) arranged on at least one thin plate section (12a, 12b) of the pair of thin plate sections (12a, 12b); wherein an areal size of a surface of the object (18) opposed to the thin plate section (12a, 12b) is larger than an areal size of an object attachment surface of the thin plate section (12a, 12b). <IMAGE></p> |
