Abstract:
1. A film-like electrode member, used as a stationary member or a movable member of an electrostatic motor, comprising: an insulating substrate including a major surface and a back surface opposite to said major surface; a plurality of electrodes arranged along said major surface of said insulating substrate at predetermined intervals; a main section including at least a part of said plurality of electrodes and of said insulating substrate carrying said electrodes; a local thick section integrally joined to said main section and having a thickness larger than said main section, wherein said main section and said local thick section comprises a unitary film-like member; and a conducting element formed on said thick section and connected to said plurality of electrodes; wherein said conducting element includes a land portion formed at a side of at least one of said major surface and said back surface of said insulating substrate; wherein, in a case where a plurality of film-like electrode members are provided and said major surface of said insulating substrate of a first film-like electrode member is disposed to be opposed to said back surface of said insulating substrate of a second film-like electrode member, said thick section of said first film-like electrode member and said thick section of said second film-like electrode member are brought into abutment with each other, to accomplish conductive contact between said land portion of said conducting element located at a side of said major surface of said first film-like electrode member and said land portion of said conducting element located at a side of said back surface of said second film-like electrode member; and wherein said conducting element includes a metal coat.
