Abstract
An illumination apparatus disclosed herein includes a first light emitting section, a thermal actuator, and a displacement mechanism. The thermal actuator is configured to generate a driving force on the basis of heat dissipated by the first light emitting section. The displacement mechanism is configured to displace a predetermined object by making use of the driving force generated by the thermal actuator.
