Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the titled speaker thin-walled and lightweight by providing a piezoelectric thin film having an electrode on both faces to a part of a face of one face of a substrate. CONSTITUTION:On the front face of a transparent polycarbonate substrate 5 having comparatively higher hardness, a transparent conductive film having a composition of 95% indium oxide and 5% tin oxide is formed by vacuum sputtering to form a transparent electrode 7. A ZnO piezoelectric thin film 6 of specific film thickness is formed on the transparent electrode by sputtering. The piezoelectric thin film is formed widely by nearly 0.5mm than the end of the transparent electrode in order to prevent the connection of the transparent electrode clipping the piezoelectric thin film. A transparent electrode 8 is formed similarly as the transparent electrode 7 on the piezoelectric thin film. Polarization processing is executed by appling a DC voltage of 500-1,000V between the transparent electrodes for 15min or over to provide the piezoelectricity.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Conventionally used speakers have a large volume due to their structure.
When incorporated into a cabinet, it occupies a large space, which poses a problem when downsizing the overall size of the audio equipment. In addition, many speakers use magnets, so they are heavy, so even if you try to reduce the weight of the equipment, there is a problem. Therefore, the vibrating parts must be placed in such a way that they come into contact with the outside air, and the entire equipment cabinet cannot be of a sealed structure.This means that the internal circuits of the equipment may be contaminated or damaged by the outside atmosphere. This is a drawback in terms of protection from the environment, and limits where the equipment can be used.In order to make the equipment usable in a wider range of environments, the entire cabinet needs to be of a sealed structure.

Furthermore, since the substrate on which the speaker is formed can be used as part of the cabinet of the device, the space for the sound generating element can be omitted. The substrate, electrode, and piezoelectric thin film used in the present invention can be made of various materials, both opaque and transparent, but in particular, transparent substrates such as polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, etc. are used, Using a transparent electrode such as indium oxide (In203), tin oxide (SnO2), etc.
When a transparent piezoelectric thin film such as ZnO, CdS, or PLZT is formed, the speaker becomes transparent as a whole, so that the speaker can be used as a display window of a device. From the above points, this contributes to making audio equipment smaller and lighter. Furthermore, if the speaker according to the present invention is used, it can also function as a part of the cabinet, so the sound pressure will not drop because it is a closed type four-wall net and the vibrating part of the speaker is exposed on the cabinet surface. It becomes possible to design equipment with the functions and structures described above.
