An actuator comprises first and second structures each with a piezoelectric layer
sandwiched between a main electrode layer and an opposed electrode layer, which
structures are formed on two substrates, respectively. A first main electrode layer
and a first opposed electrode layer are provided with layer two projections, and
a second opposed electrode layer is provided with one layer projection. Connection
wiring is arranged for establishing connection, with the above two structures bonded
to each other, between the layer projection of the first main electrode layer and
the second main electrode layer, and between the layer projection of the first
opposed electrode layer and the layer projection of the second opposed electrode
layer. Thus, it is possible to provide an actuator which may assure highly accurate
position control.
