ABSTRACT:
A stacked body is formed from alternating piezoelectric ceramic layers 40 and internal electrode layers 42, 44. At least a central portion of a stacked body is divided into a plurality of actuator portions 46a, 46b, and 46c by elongated holes 52 opened in the stacked direction. The portions are supported at their end portions by a piezoelectric non-active portion 48. Desired actuator portions can be driven independently by selectively applying voltage to the electrodes corresponding to the actuator portions 46a, 46b, and 46c.
