1. A solid state displacement element comprising:
- an intercalation compound comprising inorganic layered compounds opposing each other, and a polar compound placed between said inorganic layered compounds, so that a distance formed between said inorganic compounds is extended when a voltage is applied across said intercalation compound, wherein said solid state displacement element is molded by a press-molding operation; and
said polar compound is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of n-hexylamine and n-hexyl trimethyl ammonium bromide.

Abstract
The invention is intended to provide novel solid state displacement elements that have an extent of displacement. The solid state displacement element has an intercalation compound in which a polar compound (B) is mixed with an inorganic layered compound (A), and produces a strain when a voltage is applied.
