ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a piezo-electric/electrostrictive device including a pair of thin plate sections in an opposed relation to each other, a fixing section for supporting the thin plate sections, and at least one pair of piezo-electric/electrostrictive elements are provided to the pair of thin plate sections. The thin plate sections include movable sections having end surfaces in an opposed relation. Recesses between the thin plate sections are filled with a filler are formed at the boundaries between the thin plate sections, and the fixing section and the movable sections. As a result, the impact resistance of the device is enhanced. The present invention also relates to a method for producing such a device.
