The present invention provides a movement mechanism, in which a liquid arranged between a first structural member and a second structural member, wherein the interval between the first structural member and the second structural member is adjusted by changing the shape of the liquid due to an electro-wetting effect, by applying a voltage to the liquid. Accordingly, a position movement mechanism that is easily miniaturized and that can be driven with a low voltage can be provided, and moreover, a miniature camera, for example that uses the moving mechanism also can be provided. Furthermore, the movement mechanism also can be utilized as a position movement mechanism for micro-machines.
