| 1. An actuator which includes a driver including: a substrate having a predetermined width and a predetermined length when
viewed from a thickness direction of the substrate; a reinforcing member provided on one of the thickness-wise faces of the
substrate; and displacement means, provided on the other thickness-wise face of the substrate, for displacing, with respect
to one of the lengthwise ends of the substrate, the other lengthwise end in a width direction of the substrate,
wherein the reinforcing member is configured so that the flexural rigidity thereof in the substrate's width direction is lower
than that in the substrate's thickness direction.
