Abstract: Provided is a capacitive sensor device capable of detecting the position and magnitude of external force with high accuracy. Employed is a capacitive sensor which comprises pairs of electrodes arranged in a matrix, each of the pairs of electrodes being disposed to face each other with a distance therebetween, and an elastically deformable dielectric layer arranged between each of the pairs of electrodes. A capacitance measuring part measures capacitance of respective electrode pair groups in a plurality of combinations each comprising more than one of the pairs of electrodes including a selected one of the pairs of electrodes. An external force calculating part calculates the magnitude of external force applied to the position of the selected pair of electrodes based on a plurality of measured values of the capacitance.

Abstract: An expression display device includes an electrostrictive element having a stretched dielectric layer, and electrodes disposed with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween. The dielectric layer has a crosslinked material layer made of a three-dimensional crosslinked material synthesized from a rubber polymer and a metal alkoxide compound or a compound having a hydrosilyl group. The electrodes contain an elastomer and a conductive material. The expression display device displays a facial expression as the dielectric layer extends and contracts according to a voltage that is applied between the electrodes.

Abstract: To provide an actuator which is easily made a small size and flexible, and has a large displacement. The actuator comprises a rod-shaped actuator element, having one axial end thereof fixed, including a dielectric film made of a dielectric elastomer and a plurality of electrodes arranged via the dielectric film, in the actuator element, the dielectric film extends as a voltage applied across the electrodes becomes large, and a load member connected to the other axial end of the actuator element and fixed in a state in which the actuator element is permitted to be extended axially, characterized in that making large the voltage applied across the electrodes causes the dielectric film to be extended, whereby the actuator element is extended axially according to the tension of the load member.
