An ion conducting high-polymer member is formed by an ion containing
polymer, and has a circular arc shape. An chord length of the ion
conducting high-polymer member is changed. Due to the change in the chord
length of the ion conducting high-polymer member, there is change in a
relative position of a driving shaft which is coupled with the ion
conducting high-polymer member, with respect to a rotating shaft. Due to
the change in the relative position of the driving shaft, a circular ring
shaped peripheral section is displaced, and due to a rotation of a
diaphragm member around the rotating shaft as a center, a part of an
aperture is shielded by the circular ring shaped peripheral section, and
a diameter of the aperture is changed.
