We have developed the microactuators driven by the flow of liquid crystalline materials. In this work, two types of liquid crystalline microactuators are proposed, which are the slider-type and motor-type liquid crystalline microactuators. The slider-type actuator is constituted with two parallel glass plates and a liquid crystalline material between them. The upper glass plate is just placed on the liquid crystal, and thus moves when the flow of the liquid crystal is induced by an pulsed electric field. On the other hand, the liquid crystalline motor have a structure that two glass cylinder with different diameters are coupled and a gap between the cylinder is filled with the liquid crystal. We have successfully drive both the slider-type and motor-type liquid crystalline actuators.
