To realize an actuator driven by optical stimulation using inorganic materials.
The present invention relates to a light-driven actuator configured to output mechanical motion by utilizing the phenomenon that a material is distorted in response to a light stimulus. Conventionally, in this field, actuators utilizing the phenomenon that organic materials undergo a reversible structural change by a light stimulus have been developed, but there have been problems such as slow driving speed. In the course of research focusing on inorganic dielectric materials, the inventors succeeded in thinning an oxide material as a single crystal to form a sheet. It was experimentally confirmed that the sheet deforms faster than before in response to light in the ultraviolet range, and the present invention was completed.

Company information
The revenue generated from technology transfer is reinvested into universities and researchers as new research funding, which is used to create further research outcomes. To ensure the smooth operation of this cycle, known as the "Intellectual Creation Cycle," we will actively promote technology transfer. The types of seeds we handle include patents, know-how, databases, and programs. We have established a collaborative framework by concluding basic technology transfer agreements with the following universities (as of April 1, 2026): - Tohoku University - Hirosaki University - Iwate University - Akita University - Fukushima University - Yamagata University - Tohoku Gakuin University - Iwate Medical University - Fukushima Medical University - Aizu University - Miyagi University - Hokkaido University - Muroran Institute of Technology - Showa Medical University - Asahikawa Medical University
