A piezoelectric/electrostrictive device that includes a base having a pair
of right and left movable parts and a fixing part disposed at one end
thereof, and piezoelectric/electrostrictive elements disposed on the sides
of the movable parts of the base. Accordingly, the
piezoelectric/electrostrictive device is fabricated to have a construction
with fewer components. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive device having a
construction with fewer components is provided by adopting a base having
an integral structure formed by bending an original plate stamped into a
shape that delineates a plane development of the base.
