PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly efficient mechanism and method for forming a liquid crystal flow capable of forming an industrially applicable liquid crystal flow and increasing the flow rate and momentum of the flow, and a highly efficient object moving mechanism using the liquid crystal flow.;SOLUTION: The mechanism includes a flow path L, liquid crystal LC provided movable along a wall surface B of the flow path L and a liquid crystal molecule rotation means for rotating liquid crystal molecules m in the surface crossing a wall surface B of a flow path L by applying an electric field ef or magnetic field bf to the liquid crystal molecules m of the liquid crystal LC. The liquid crystal molecule rotation means is equipped with an a pair of electrodes E, E applying electric field ef to the liquid crystal molecules m of the liquid crystal LC from a direction crossing one wall surface B and a coil CL applying magnetic field bf to the liquid crystal molecules m of the liquid crystal LC from a direction crossing the direction of the electric field ef.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
