Abstract

Disclosed herein is a piezoelectric actuator comprising a plurality of driving columns separated by grooves in which the width of each driving column in the direction of the groove width widens from the displacement output surface to the substrate. The widening of the diving column width toward the substrate realizes a piezoelectric actuator having a high strength and a high reliability capable of stably and effectively generating an output displacement.
