Abstract

This invention provides a polymer actuator element, which can be driven for a long period of time even in an open system under normal temperature and normal pressure conditions or at 0°C or below, a polymer actuator element, which, even after standing in an open system under normal temperature and normal pressure conditions for a long period of time, can exhibit substantially the same flexure level or displacement level as the initial flexure level or displacement level, and a method for driving the polymer actuator element. The polymer actuator element comprises a metal electrode and an electrolyte containing a polyelectrolyte. The polymer actuator element is characterized in that the metal electrode is provided so as to form a pair and is in contact with the electrolyte, the electrolyte contains a polyether compound which is liquid under normal temperature and normal pressure conditions, and the electrolyte is in the state of being swollen with the polyether compound.
