Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An actuator includes the first and the second extendable driver portions. The first extendable driver portion includes an electrolyte layer laminated with electrode layers each including an electroconductive polymer and expands and contracts according to application of a voltage between the electrode layers. The second extendable driver portion includes an electrolyte layer laminated with electrode layers each including an electroconductive polymer and expands and contracts according to application of a voltage between the electrode layers. The first and the second extendable driver portions are arranged between a fixation portion and an application portion. The application portion moves as the first and the second extendable driver portions extend and contract.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An actuator, comprising: an extendable driver portion which includes an electrolyte layer laminated with electrode layers, each of the electrode layers including an electroconductive polymer, and the extendable driver portion being configured to expand and contract according to application of a voltage between the electrode layers; wherein the extendable driver portion is arranged between an application portion and a pair of fixation portions opposite to e…
