1. An electromechanical element, comprising:
- a first electrode which is provided on a substrate; and
a second electrode and a plurality of third electrodes which are provided via a gap with respect to the first electrode,wherein the first electrode contacts with the second electrode when an attracting force is applied between the first electrode and each of the third electrodes;
wherein the first electrode has a bent portion which is a V shaped portion;
wherein the third electrodes are arranged with space therebetween;
wherein the V shaped portion is disposed at a position opposite to the space and protrudes toward the space between the third electrodes; and
wherein the second electrode is not positioned between the third electrodes.

9. A driving method of an electromechanical element including a first electrode which has a bent portion which is a V shaped portion and is provided on a substrate, and a second electrode and a plurality of third electrodes which are provided via a gap with respect to the first electrode, wherein the third electrodes are arranged with space therebetween, wherein the V shape portion is disposed at a position opposite to the space between the third electrodes and protrudes toward the space between the third electrodes, and wherein the second electrode is not positioned between the third electrodes, the driving method comprising:
-
contacting the first electrode with the second electrode by applying an attracting force between the first electrode and the third electrodes; and releasing a contact state of the first electrode with the second electrode by an expanding or contracting force of the bent portion of the first electrode. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
