Abstract

Two groups of inclined lines, which are included in a spurious wave scattering means, are formed at opposite angles with respect to each other in the vicinity of an upper edge of a substrate. The angles of the inclined lines are such that they are close to perpendicular toward the central portion of the substrate, and gradually decrease toward the edges thereof. In a similar manner, two other groups inclined lines, which are also included in the spurious wave scattering means, are formed at opposite angles with respect to each other, with gradually changing angles. The spurious waves that reach these regions are diffused by the inclined lines, so that they are not propagated to converters (sensors). Three rectangular spurious wave scattering means, formed by inclined lines, inclined at angles other than 45 DEG, also function to diffuse and eliminate spurious waves that propagate alone the front surface of the substrate.

Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to an acoustic wave contact detection device, such as an ultrasonic touch panel. [Previous Technology] Ultrasonic sonic contact detection devices are now widely used. Examples of applications include operating screens for personal computers, ticket machines at stations, photocopiers installed in convenience stores, and ATMs for financial institutions. These acoustic wave contact detection devices use a transducer and include a piezoelectric vibrator (piezoelectric element) provided on a substrate (touch panel) formed of glass or the like. These converters function as body wave generating devices and sensors for detecting sound waves scattered by fingers touching the control panel there. The surface acoustic wave is scattered by a finger or the like. The scattering of the surface acoustic wave is detected by a detection device. The detection signal is a clock signal that resists the controller and determines the position where the surface acoustic wave is scattered. The ultrasonic vibrator generated as a body wave is converted into a surface acoustic wave by a sound wave generating device and propagates along the substrate. When the body wave is converted into a surface acoustic wave by a sound wave generating device, not all body waves are converted. A pseudo wave including an unconverted body wave, a surface acoustic wave transmitted through the reflection array, and a surface acoustic wave reflected in a direction other than a predetermined direction are generated. If these pseudo waves are reflected along the substrate and reach the sensor-side converter, it causes the converters to vibrate and generate voltage. These voltages are received as noise, and proper judgment is thrown by the controller. For this reason, a vibration insulation or vibration absorbing material is provided on the 200530922 substrate to absorb the generated pseudo wave (for example, disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6 (1994) -324792 which has not yet been examined) Page 2, first picture) and 61 (1986) -239322 (page U, second picture). These vibration insulation and vibration absorbing materials are generally in the form of resin tapes that are adhered to the substrate and reach the tape. The pseudo wave will be absorbed and weakened. In the conventional technology, the vibration insulation or vibration suction must be adhered to the substrate. The threaded additional operation is performed manually, so the steps and productivity are reduced. In this way, there is increased manufacturing Cost [Summary of the Invention] The present invention has been developed in view of the above points. The two types of sonic contact detection devices of the present invention have increased productivity and reduced manufacturing costs. Has a surface along which sound waves propagate; a sound wave generating device; surface transmission i is used to cause the sound of the generated sound waves along the substrate = change, r is controlled by ㈣-H One of the "a decision" objects is used to diffuse the acoustic wave, and the radiation device is shaped on the substrate. The pseudo wave dispersion of the generated pseudo wave can adopt a structure, wherein the pseudo wave scattering farm includes a base and the base 7 200530922 A reflective array formed of the same material as the plate. The acoustic wave generating device and pseudo wave scattering device can be formed by printing or etching. Here, in addition to the surface acoustic waves that propagate along the surface of the substrate, the "sound waves" are contained in a thin substrate The ultrasonic wave propagating device along its surface may include a mode conversion element and an ultrasonic vibrator. The detector may be a converter. The converter is a component that converts ultrasonic vibrations to electronic signals, or converts electronic signals to An ultrasonic vibration element. The pseudo wave scattering device may be a diffusion grating. In the acoustic wave contact detection device of the present invention, a pseudo wave scattering device for diffusing a pseudo wave generated accompanying the generation of a sound wave is formed on the substrate. Therefore, the pseudo wave can be effectively scattered by the pseudo wave scattering device. A configuration can be adopted in which the pseudo wave scattering device includes a material made of the same material as the substrate Into a reflection array. In this case, the pseudo wave can be effectively scattered. The acoustic wave generating device and the pseudo wave scattering device can be formed by printing. In this case, in addition to allowing effective scattering of the pseudo wave, it is effective because Production is allowed by automated printing, the productivity will increase and the manufacturing cost will decrease. The acoustic wave generating device and pseudo wave scattering device can be formed by etching instead. Also in this case, in addition to allowing effective scattering of pseudo waves, because A single method can be used to form two devices, the productivity will increase and the manufacturing cost will decrease. 200530922 [Embodiment] A preferred embodiment of a sonic contact detection device (hereinafter referred to as "device") will be described with reference to the drawings. # FIG. 1 is a front view of the touch panel 3 used in the device 1. As shown in FIG. 7F, the touch panel 3 includes 2 formed by a rectangular glass plate; a flexible printed circuit 4 (Fpc) mounted on the substrate 2; and a controller 6 electrically connected to the FPC 4. ^ The FPC 4 branch is branched into the FPC branch and the branch. j The FPC branch 4a extends along the horizontal direction of the substrate 2, that is, the X-axis direction indicated by = X. The FPC branch 4b extends along a vertical direction perpendicular to the substrate, that is, a γ-axis direction indicated by an arrow γ to generate a sound wave converter (body wave generating device value. In addition, the effect is the same Sense = 12 (¾ state) 12 and 14 are installed on the FPC 4. A reflective array 18 containing a large number of oblique lines 16 is formed near its lateral edge 44 along the Y axis on the front surface of the substrate 2. Included A reflective array 22 of a large number of inclined lines 20 is formed at the other facing edge 44 of the substrate facing the reflective array 18. A reflective array 28 including a large number of inclined lines 26 is formed along the X axis near the upper edge 24 of the substrate 2. A reflective array 32 including a large i inclined line 30 is formed near the lower edge 45 of the substrate facing the reflective array 28. These reflective arrays 18, 22, 28, and 32 are not disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Invention Publication No. 61 ( 1986) -239322 and 200M4094. Note that the reflection arrays 18, 22, 28, and 32 will be collectively referred to as the reflection array 33. The reflection array 33 reflects the tower wave and causes it to propagate along the front surface of the substrate 2. 200530922 The conversion Devices 8, 10, 12, and 14 To the rear surface of the substrate 2. Mode conversion elements 78, 80, 82, and 84 (gratings) are formed on the uranium surface of the substrate 2 at positions corresponding to the converters $, 10, 12, and plutonium, respectively. This structure The mode conversion element 80 will be taken as an example with reference to the eleventh figure. The eleventh figure is an enlarged view of a schematic part of the substrate 2, viewed from the direction of arrow A. The mode conversion element 80 of the eleventh figure is sintered A glass paste is formed on the substrate 2 and includes a plurality of parallel ridges 80a. The ridge 80a shown in the eleventh figure extends in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the drawing. The width of the ridge jOa is set to 400. // m, and the height is set to% or more. The direction of the body wave reflection is changed by changing the interval between the ridges 80a, and more. In this specific embodiment, the ridge is formed with a j-surface acoustic wave directly Generated at the interval next to the ridge 8Ga. The converter = attached to the substrate side of the mode conversion element 80, and is electrically connected to the FPC branch 4b as expected. Yuyuan, ΐi conversion element 7 8, 8 2 and 8 4 have the same structure. Among them, _ 换 由;: '; 目, represents the mode conversion Element (acoustic wave generating device) f The body waves generated by 8 and 10 are converted to surface acoustic waves. Propagators 82 and 84 transform and have propagated along the front surface of the substrate 2. Surface acoustic waves (acoustic waves) return to body waves. Ultrasonic vibration day ^, f °: Ultrasonic vibration travels through the interior of the substrate 2 from its rear surface, ΐ! 式 type conversion element 80. The mode conversion element 80 transforms the ultrasonic wave toward the wide shot array 32. The sound wave vibrates to a surface acoustic wave propagating perpendicular to the ridge 80a. The surface acoustic wave is reflected by the inward 10 200530922 inclined line 30 of the reflection array 32, and propagates along the front surface of the substrate 2 toward the reflection array 28, Until it reaches the inwardly inclined line 26. Bulk waves that are not converted by the mode conversion elements 78 and 80 to surface acoustic waves do not radiate in a specific direction, but propagate in all directions from the mode conversion elements 78 and 80. If a part of the unconverted body wave is transmitted to the converters 12 and 14, it becomes a pseudo wave that hinders the detection of the main signal. In addition, although the mode conversion elements 78 and 80 are configured to generate surface acoustic waves in a direction perpendicular to their ridges, it is known that the micro surface acoustic waves are generated in an unexpected direction. These surface acoustic waves can also become pseudo waves that prevent the detection of major signals. If these pseudo waves reach the converters 12 and 14, noise signals are generated there. The surface acoustic waves reflected to the reflection array 28 are thereby propagated toward the mode conversion element 84. The surface acoustic wave reaching the mode conversion element 84 is thereby converted into a body wave. The converted body wave is transmitted to a converter 14 on the rear surface of the substrate 2, which senses and converts its vibration to an electronic signal 0. In a similar manner, the ultrasonic vibration (body wave) generated by the converter 8 calls for a mode The conversion element 78 converts to a surface acoustic wave. Then, the surface acoustic wave reaches the mode conversion element 82 via the reflection array 18 and the reflection array 22. The surface acoustic wave is converted into a body wave by the mode conversion element 82 and transmitted to a converter 14 that senses and converts it to an electronic signal. In this way, the surface acoustic wave propagates across the entire area of the front surface of the substrate 2 covered by the reflection arrays 18, 22, 28, and 32. Therefore, if a finger (object) contacts (touches) the substrate 2 ′ in this area, the surface acoustic wave blocked by the finger will disappear or be weakened. Accompanying the change in this surface acoustic wave 11 200530922 The signal change acts like a sense of movement. . The timing of the connected controller 6 is to turn the converters 12 and 14 to the positions determined by the finger to touch). The controller 6 and 26 and 3: and the wave reflection array; 2 each of the inclined lines 16, 2. , Qiao Er reflection. Surface acoustic waves reaching 5% to 1% of each oblique line hunt this reflection. The remainder penetrates and transmits to the adjacent oblique line to connect with the red shot wire for comparison. M to all

Note that the diffusion gratings will be collectively referred to as the following. The FPC 4 attached to the substrate 2 will be described with reference to the first, fourth and fourth figures. The second figure is a diagram before FpC4, which is attached to the substrate 2. FIG. Although the FPC 4 is adhesively attached to the rear surface of the substrate 2, it is made with a solid edge for convenience. Note that the reflection array 33 and the diffusion grating% are omitted from the second figure. The third g is a schematic plan view showing the whole of the coffee 4. The fourth picture is an enlarged view of part 4 of the FPC from the third place. The Fpc 4 is as the third picture. ”12 200530922 = The pictures in the picture do not correspond to the 54 and 14 electric wires and electrodes 5 2 and 5 4 from the top of the second ® substrate 2 and the third picture and the fourth As shown. The orientatories can be connected to the converter 12 by a conductive adhesive, such as a silver paste, a wire paste, and an electric gel. That is, ^ converters 12 and 14 are placed between and 'i.e.'. The FPR 4 driver, the whistle 1 / witFPc branch 4a | Mb on the rear surface of the substrate 2 and the connecting wire and structure for connecting the Yangtze 6 "Inverse Money" and "Haikang" form an FPC: the branch 4a is the same length 'and the whole person is the same as the FPC (Figure 8). A perforation 56 is formed in the connecting line 4c of the converter 8; the support 5 allows the two to be separated. A mountain for connecting the branch 4a is formed opposite to the electrode 52 provided; pPc is close to the electrode: an electrode 60 connected to the controller 6 is formed at an electrode 62 of the 10C 4C terminal. It is used to connect the converter + 4, / to one end of the FPC eight with respect to the electrode 54 provided (refer to the third figure). The printed wiring 64 of the connecting wire 4c includes ten 64i and 64. ,, spring 64b, Yong, 64d, 64e, 64f, 64 bar, 6 servants, and 14 signal wiring groups connected to the The converter (sensor) 12 is integrated. Here ^ 卩 brush wiring (signal receiving wiring) 6 牝, 64f, and 64g ^ Any of the groups-the side is that the ground wiring 64c and 64h are provided on the signal line to transmit the signal wiring 64b and corrector of the converter 8 and 10 Adjacent to these ground wirings 04c and 64h. In addition, the grounding cloth 200530922 lines 64a and 64j provide signal wirings 64b and 64i adjacent to the outside thereof, respectively. This structure causes the signal receiving wirings 64d, 64e, 64f, and 64g surrounded by the ground wirings 64c and 64h, and the signal transmission wirings 64b and 64i surrounded by the ground wirings 64c and 64a and the ground wirings 64h and 64j, respectively, to shield all signals. wiring. This relationship is also maintained in Fpc branches 4a and 4b. With this structure, the signal wiring group composed of the printed wirings 64b, 64d, 64e, 64f, 64g, and 64i is less likely to be affected by electromagnetic waves. At the same time, it is possible to obtain the effect that the electromagnetic wave is unlikely to be directed: the light from the outside. The above-mentioned structure is particularly effective for improving the surface resistance f in the case where the FpC4 extends along the substrate 2 over a long distance. "Gu" The curved line of the FPC branch servant is represented by the component symbol person 68 in the fourth figure. The FPC branch is bent along the bending line 66 toward the drawing of the fourth figure. Then, the direction of the drawing surface of the FPC branch 4b and the four drawings is reversely curved along the bending line 68. The electrode 62 (refer to the second drawing) faces the converter 10. The turn eight; "h brother Erguang 1 is represented by the component symbol 69. In this way, the Fpc − / σ is arranged against the lateral edge 44 of the substrate 2. Note that the 4 tincture (not shown) or the like is fixed to the substrate 2. Fifthly, the configuration of the reflection array 33 will be described with reference to the fifth figure. The front view of the reflection array 33 corresponds to that shown in the first figure. The diffusion gratings 34, 36, 38, etc. of 1 j-shot pseudo waves are from the fifth figure, and the tilt lines 16, 20, and 45 of 2, 22, 28, and 32, respectively. Angle tilt. The oblique lines 16, 20, 26, and 30 are arranged. The substrate 2 reflects the surface acoustic waves facing their reflection array. The Han-ray array 33 is formed by printing the micrometers of glass which have been formed into glass. 14 200530922 to screen printing and the like on the front surface of the substrate 2 and then sintered at about 500 QC to form it. Note that the corner portion of the substrate 2 is shown in the fifth figure and is represented by the element symbol 25. Alternatively, a UV-curable organic ink or an organic ink with metal particles added as a filler to improve its reflective properties may be used as the material of the reflective array. The interval between the oblique lines 16, 20, 26, and 30 decreases, that is, the oblique lines are arranged at a higher density, which is farther from the transfer-side converters 8 and 10. This is because when the inclined lines 16, 20, 26, and 30 are penetrated, the intensity of the surface acoustic wave becomes weak. Therefore, it becomes necessary to adopt the above-mentioned configuration to compensate for the weakening so as to uniformly propagate the surface acoustic wave along the front surface of the substrate 2. Note that the reflective arrays 22 and 28 are provided slightly inward from the upper edge 24 and the lateral edge 44 (refer to the first figure) of the substrate, respectively. This allows the inclined lines 40, 42, 46, and 48 of the diffusion grating 50 to be described later to be provided on the outside of the reflection arrays 22 and 28. Next, a diffusion grating 50 that functions as a pseudo wave scattering device will be described with reference to the sixth figure. The sixth figure corresponds to the first figure and shows the front view of the diffusion grating 50 and the mode conversion elements 78, 80, 82, and 84. The oblique lines 40 and 42 forming the second reflection array are formed at opposite angles near the upper edge 24 of the substrate 2 in correlation with each other. The angle of the oblique line makes it approximately perpendicular to the central portion of the substrate 2 and gradually decreases toward its edge. In a similar manner, the other inclined lines 46 and 48 constituting the second reflection array are correlated with each other to gradually change the angle formed at the opposite angle. This makes the pseudo waves not reflect in the same direction but diffuse. The oblique lines 40, 42, 46, and 48 are placed in a region such as a tape adhered to a conventional touch panel. In other words, the inclined lines 40, 42, 46, 15 200530922

The pseudo waves reaching these areas are diffusely reflected by the oblique lines 40, 42, 46, and 4 so that they do not propagate to the converters (sensors) 12 and 14. The attenuation rate of the ultrasonic vibration energy varies according to the frequency of the ultrasonic wave, the vibration mode, and the glass type. The intensity of the surface acoustic wave at a frequency of 5 · 5 ΜΗζ was weakened to 1/10 of its original intensity after propagating 40 cm along a typical substrate 2 formed of soda-lime glass. Therefore, the diffuse reflection pseudo wave quickly weakens and disappears when it reflects across the substrate 2. I. A plurality of separated ridges inclined at angles other than 45 ° or -45 °, that is, oblique lines, are formed at the rectangular diffusion gratings 34, 36, and 38. The shape of the ridge will be described with reference to the seventh and eighth figures. The seventh figure is an enlarged view of a part of the diffused light grid 36 and the reflective array 33. The eighth figure is an enlarged view of a part of the diffusion grating 38 and the reflection array 33. The angle of the inclined line 36a of the diffusion grating 36 clearly shown in the seventh figure is different from the reflection arrays 18 and 32. Similarly, the eighth figure clearly shows the diffusion grating 38 composed of steeply inclined lines 38a. These diffusion gratings 36 and 38 also act to scatter and reflect the pseudo waves propagating along the front surface of the substrate 2 toward the outside at angles other than 45 ° or -45 °. Although not shown in detail, the diffusion grating 34 occupies a similar structure and function. The oblique lines 36a and 38a may be parallel or gradually change the angle in the respective diffusion gratings 36 and 38. The diffusion gratings 34 and 38 also function to block the path of the surface acoustic wave propagating in a direction other than a predetermined direction so that it does not reach the converters (sensors) 12 and 14. The diffusion grating 50 is formed in a paste by lead glass particles and printed on the substrate 2 in the same manner as the reflection array 33. 16 200530922 Therefore, the diffusion grating 50 can be printed at the same time as the reflection array 33 is formed. This will improve productivity and reduce manufacturing costs. The inclined lines 36a and 38a of the diffusion gratings 36 and 38 are formed as a plurality of ridges. However, the diffusion grating is not limited to being formed by ridges, and various modifications are possible. Another configuration of the diffusion grating (diffused portion) is shown in the ninth figure. The ninth figure is an enlarged view of another form of the diffusion grating (diffuse part). This diffusing portion 51 is composed of a large number of diamond-shaped protrusions 51a in a plan view. The pseudo wave reaching the scattering portion 51 is repeatedly formed in this region by being reflected by the protruding portion 51a and weakening at that time. The shape of the protrusion is not limited to a diamond shape 'and may be any desired shape, such as a rectangle, a triangle, other polygons, or an ellipse. The tenth figure is a front view showing the relative positions of the diffusion grating 50 and the reflection array 33 formed on the front surface of the substrate 2. The tenth figure clearly shows that the inclined lines 40 and 42 are located outside the reflection array 28 and the inclined lines 46 and 48 are located outside the reflection array 22. The diffusion gratings 34, 3 + 6, and 38 are placed so that acoustic waves (surface acoustic waves) that penetrate the reflection array 33 without reflection are reflected in a direction different from that in which the reflection array 33 reflects them. For example, the surface acoustic waves generated by the converter 8 and the mode conversion element 78 are reflected by the reflection array 18 toward the reflection array 22 when they penetrate. Surface acoustic waves that are not reflected by the reflection array 18 reach the diffusion grating 36. As shown in the seventh figure, the diffusion grating% functions to reflect surface acoustic waves toward the outside of the wire plate 2. That is, the diffused light peach 36 reflects the surface acoustic wave in a direction opposite to the main direction, so that the sound wave of the material 2 will not reach the converter (sensor) 12. The oblique lines 4G, 42, 46, and 17 200530922 48 formed along the edge of the substrate 2 constitute a bulk wave that propagates along the front surface of the substrate 2 with diffuse reflection and weakening. In general, body waves are converted into surface acoustic waves by the mode conversion elements 78 and 80. However, not 100% converted body waves propagate in other directions outward from their intended direction. Therefore, the inclined lines 40, 42, 46, and 48 are utilized to weaken these pseudo-body waves. In addition, the surface acoustic wave propagates in the directions other than its predetermined direction after being converted by the mode conversion elements 78 and 80. The oblique lines / 40, 42, 46, and 48 also diffusely reflect these stray surface acoustic waves, causing them to scatter in various directions. Pseudo-ultrasonic vibrations reach the converters (sensors) 12 and 14 to reduce the risk of noise and therefore diffuse reflections are reduced. The picture of the female dolphin 82 is printed between the oblique lines 40 and 42 in the tenth figure, and also between the oblique lines 46 and 48. The picture 82 is also valid. The picture 82 has a curved outline. Body waves or stray surface acoustic waves that reach the contour of this picture 82 are reflected and weakened in various directions. Any picture can be applied as long as its outline is formed by curved lines, or its angle causes diffuse reflection of the pseudo wave to various directions'. Alternatively, a pattern may be printed on the substrate 2 in these portions. Specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the foregoing specific embodiments. For example, the diffusion grating 50 can be formed by etching hydrofluoric acid. The diffusion grating 50 may also be formed by applying laser, sandblasting, or cutting by a chemical or physical movement process. In other words, the diffusion grating 50 may be formed by a trench instead of the protrusion. In this specific embodiment, the case where a surface acoustic wave generating device having the mode conversion elements 78, 80, 82, and 84 called a "grating type" has been described has been applied. However, the present invention is not limited to a device applying this type of surface 18 200530922 generating device. For example, the present invention can be applied to a wedge-shaped converter (not shown) that generates a surface wave by using a wedge-shaped transducer (not shown). The present invention can also be an electrode, and "= The FPC 4 used in the towel of the present invention can be attached to the substrate 2 at will. ^ And 'preferably, the electric vibrator is used J; Bu 1 wire curing adhesive is added. This allows the converter 8, 1 〇, 12, and j are about the mode conversion elements 78, 80, 82, and 84: It is confirmed that the surface acoustic wave before irradiation of the ultraviolet rays causing adhesion is the highest]. The pseudo wave scattering device can be used to cause diffuse reflection and weakening Type, as described above. Note that the two converters (sensors) 12 are provided close to each other in the embodiment. However, the converters 12 and 14 can be connected to the transfer converter 8. , 00 之 ', 丨 U and Η are leaking, and the other converter; ^ == will suppress the noise picked up by another converter. Except =: ^ Nearly white, the controller 6 to the transmission converters 8 and 1 In addition, it can be reduced to suppress the sub-path from this electronic path. Therefore, the next m magnetic wave is emitted. In addition to the pseudo wave In the description of the 7-way weakening and elimination of the button scattering device, the pseudo wave scattering device will be described as follows: 'formed by printing breaks to form a product-like array H can be _ called a chemical or reflective wind screen 19 200530922 physical removal process, such as the process of etching hydrofluoric acid, applying laser, sandblasting, or cutting. The twelfth figure is a pseudo wave scattering device of the second embodiment for randomly scattering and eliminating pseudo waves Front view of a substrate formed thereon. The thirteenth figure is a partially enlarged view of a region of the substrate on which the pseudo wave scattering device is formed on the twelfth figure. The fourteenth figure is a third embodiment with a pseudo wave scattering device The front view of the substrate of the example. The fifteenth figure is a front view of the substrate on which the pseudo wave scattering device of the fourth embodiment similar to the fourteenth figure is formed. Note the twelfth, thirteenth, and tenth figures. Figure 4 and Figure 15 show the modification of the (touch panel) device shown in the first figure, in which the diffusion gratings 34, 36, and 38 have been modified by the second, third, and fourth embodiments. Replaced by pseudo wave scattering device. Other structures pass through this The specific embodiments are shared, so the same structure is represented by the same element symbol, and its description is omitted. Also note that in the twelfth to fifteenth figures, only important parts are shown, and other parts are omitted. 1. By random As an example, the scatter canceling pseudo wave will explain the case where the fine protrusions are randomly scattered (by the aforementioned printing method) on the substrate to form a pseudo wave scattering device. Note that as mentioned above, the low wave can be processed by chemical or physical trench processes (drilling Process) instead of the fine protrusions. As shown in Figures 12 and 13, the diffusing portions 100 and 102 are formed on the substrate 2a like a pseudo wave scattering device at its lateral edges 44, lower edges 45, and corners. The diffusing portion 100 is rectangular and extends along the lateral edge 44 and the lower edge 45. The diffuser 102 is formed in an L shape at the corner. All the diffusers 100, 100, and 102 are placed outside the reflective arrays 106 and 108. A large number of diffuse protrusions 104 are randomly scattered in the 20 200530922 diffuse portions 100, 100, and 102, that is, there is no regularity. The shape of the diffusion protrusion 104 is rectangular in a plan view. However, the diffusing portion 104 is not limited to a rectangle, and may be any desired shape, such as a circle, an oval, or a polygon. The diffusion portions 104 may be the same size, or the diffusion protrusions 104 may be different sizes and shapes. The dispersion of the diffuse projection 104 is set here so that the pseudo wave (for example, a parasitic echo) is sufficiently scattered and eliminated (so that it is not detected as noise by the sensor). The cases where the scattering portions 100, 100, and 0 10 2 of the group of the diffusing protrusions 104 scatter and eliminate a pseudo wave propagating along the surface of the substrate 2a are the same as those in the above-mentioned specific embodiment. Therefore, detailed description will be omitted. Note that the pseudo wave travels along its path 130, 132, 134, 136 until it is eliminated, as shown in the twelfth figure. 2. Eliminating pseudo waves by coherent scattering In a method in which a pseudo wave scattering device and a reflective array are formed on a substrate by printing glass particles in the form of a paste, the height of the ridge of the pseudo wave scattering device is equal to that of the reflection array. The oblique lines must match substantially (for example, at a height of 5 // m to 10 // m). In addition, we want to weaken and eliminate the pseudo wave in the limited area. In this case, the weakening and elimination of the artifacts can be performed more effectively by forming a diffusion grating that produces a coherent scattering effect. Here, it is known that the frequency and wavelength of a pseudo wave transmitted from a converter and propagating through the substrate are 5.5 MHz and about 570 / zm, respectively (in the case of a soda glass substrate). Take advantage of these facts. As shown in the fourteenth figure, the diffusion gratings 110a and 11 Ob are formed along the lateral edge 44 of a substrate 2b. The diffusion gratings 110c and 110d are formed along 21 200530922 along the lower edge 45 of the substrate 2b. Note that the diffusion gratings 110a, 110b, 110c, and 110d will be collectively referred to as the diffusion grating 110. The diffusion grating 110 is provided near an edge of the substrate 2b with respect to the mode conversion elements 78, 80, 82, and 84. The diffusing grating 11 is similar to the diffusing gratings 43 and 49 and includes an outwardly inclined line 112. The oblique lines 112 are provided parallel to each other, and their oblique angles are smaller than those of the diffusion gratings 43 and 49. With the configuration of the oblique line 112, the diffusion grating no functions to scatter and eliminate pseudo waves by coherently scattering Rayleigh waves (surface acoustic waves). That is, the Rayleigh waves scatter and cancel when they interfere with each other. 3. Elimination of pseudo waves by coherent scattering by converting Rayleigh waves to body waves. The above-mentioned description in heading 2 does not convert already, s: Rayleigh waves (surface acoustic waves) into pseudo waves into different forms. Rilip. However, the method of converting a Rayleigh wave (surface acoustic wave) from a component vibrating perpendicularly to the substrate surface into a body wave is also effective. That is, the propagation direction of the pseudo wave is changed or scattered, and it is scattered to the body wave that propagates when the substrate bounces between the front and rear surfaces. Unlike surface acoustic waves, body waves do not travel very fast along horizontal surfaces, nor do they risk long distances. Therefore, artifacts can be weakened and eliminated faster. The conversion of surface acoustic wave to body wave in the field of acoustics refers to "connecting the Ripple to Lamb mode". The diffused light phase 120 (120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d) formed on the substrate 2c as shown in FIG. 15 is similar to the diffusion grating (see FIG. 14), and is used for explanation under the above title 2. The coherent dispersal removes pseudo waves. However, the interval between the inclined lines constituting the diffusion grating is different in the width of the inclined lines. In addition, the direction of the oblique line (angle ^ 22 200530922 is the same as the direction (angle) of the oblique line 112, or it may be different. As described above, various structures can be applied to scatter and eliminate pseudo waves. Scattering device. Note that in the above specific embodiment, a flexible printed circuit (FPC) is applied as the wiring of the electronic circuit mounted on the substrate. However, a flexible flat cable (FPC) can also be applied as the wiring.
