Abstract:
1. A micro movable device comprising: a movable member including a pair of first electrodes spaced from each other; a stationary portion including a pair of second electrodes cooperating with the first electrodes to generate a driving force for translating the movable member in a direction crossing a spacing direction in which the first electrodes are spaced from each other; and a plurality of connecting portions each connected to the movable member and the stationary portion: wherein the connecting portions include a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion is connected to the movable member at a first connection point, the second connecting portion is connected to the movable member at a second connection point that is spaced from the first connection point, the first electrodes are positioned between the first connection point and the second connection point as viewed along a spacing direction in which the first connection point and the second connection point are spaced from each other, and no first electrode is located outside of a region located between the first connection point and the second connection point as viewed along the spacing direction in which the first connection point and the second connection point are spaced from each other.
