Abstract
Provided are a flexible body and a method for controlling the flexible body to deform. The flexible body comprises one or more flexible units, wherein each of the flexible units comprises: a first electrode, a second electrode, an electroactive polymer layer, and a thin film transistor, wherein a source electrode or a drain electrode of the thin film transistor is electrically connected to the second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are configured to provide an electric field acting on the electroactive polymer layer, and the electroactive polymer layer is configured to deform in response to the electric field provided by the first electrode and the second electrode.
