摘要:
A piezoelectric/electrostrictive device is provided including a functional element. The functional element includes a base portion, a deformable portion assuming the form of a thin plate and extending from the base portion to thereby form a plane, a piezoelectric/electrostrictive element formed on the deformable portion, and a reflective portion extending from the deformable portion so as to form an active plane intersecting with the plane of the deformable portion and having a light-reflecting member disposed on the active plane. Operation of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive element causes the deformable portion to be deformed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the deformable portion to thereby change a reflection angle of light reflected from the reflective portion.

A piezoelectric and/or electrostrictive film-type element comprises a zirconia substrate with a thin-walled diaphragm section provided integrally to cover and close a window to serve as a hollow space, and a film-shaped piezoelectric and/or electrostrictive operating section composed of a lower electrode, a piezoelectric and/or electrostrictive layer, and an upper electrode which are successively provided in a layered configuration on an outer surface of the diaphragm section in accordance with a film-forming method, wherein at least a part of a peripheral edge portion of the piezoelectric and/or electrostrictive layer extends laterally beyond a corresponding peripheral edge portion of the lower electrode to construct an overhang section located opposingly over the diaphragm section, and the overhang section is in a state of incomplete connection with respect to a partial region of the diaphragm section located just under by the aid of particles of an alumina-magnesia compound such as spinel particles allowed to intervene therebetween.
摘要:
A piezo-electric/electrostrictive film type element is constituted of a ceramic substrate including a spacer plate having at least one window, and a thin closure plate for closing the window, integrally joined to the spacer plate, and a piezo-electric/electrostrictive working portion having a lower electrode, a piezo-electric/electrostrictive layer and an upper electrode disposed in turn in the form of a layer at a closure position of the window on the outer surface of the closure plate by a film formation method. The piezo-electric/electrostrictive layer is arranged so as to cover a part only of the area of the window in a plan view. Since at the end portions of the void, the piezo-electric/electrostrictive working portion does not pick up fluctuation and vibration which would contain noise at the end portions of the void, the noise at the time of sensing, filtering or acoustic oscillation can be remarkably minimized, and a gap between the characteristics of a simulation at the time of design and those of the actual product can be remarkably reduced.

Disclosed is a piezoelectric/electrostrictive element composed of an actuator section of a uni-morph type comprising a main actuator element including a piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer and a pair of electrodes formed on a first principal surface of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer; a vibrating section which contacts with a second principal surface of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer for supporting the main actuator element; and a fixed section for supporting the vibrating section in a vibrative manner; wherein a relationship of y=ax is satisfied, and an expression of 1/10.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.100 is satisfied provided that x represents a distance between the pair of electrodes (1 .mu.m.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.200 .mu.m), and y represents a thickness of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer (1 .mu.m.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.100 .mu.m). Accordingly, it is possible to greatly increase the relative displacement amount between the no-voltage-loaded state and the voltage-applied state and the relative displacement amount between the states in which mutually opposite electric fields are applied, making it possible to realize easy control when the element is utilized for actuators and improvement in sensitivity when the element is utilized for sensors.
