- the convex portion 29 and / or the concave portion may be provided on the surface of one piezoelectric vibration element 20, and the convex portion and / or the concave portion may not be provided on the surface of the other piezoelectric vibration element 120.
- a convex portion 29 may be provided on the surface of one piezoelectric vibration element 20, and a concave portion may be provided on the surface of the other piezoelectric vibration element 120.
- 13A and 13B show the piezoelectric vibration element 20 arranged on the same surface of the upper surface 10a (or the lower surface opposite to the upper surface 10a) of the vibrating body 10, but both the upper surface 10a and the lower surface are both shown. You may arrange in. Further, although the piezoelectric vibration element 20 is rectangular in plan view, it may be square. Further, although the example in which the piezoelectric vibration element 20 is disposed at the approximate center of the vibration surface of the vibration body 10 is illustrated, the piezoelectric vibration element 20 may be disposed at a position deviated from the vibration surface center of the vibration body 10.
- piezoelectric vibration element 20 a so-called bimorph type laminated type is exemplified, but a unimorph type piezoelectric vibration element can also be used.
- the exciter is a piezoelectric vibration element
- the exciter is not limited to a piezoelectric element, and an electric signal is input to vibrate and vibrate. As long as it has a function of resonating, it is sufficient.
- an electromagnetic exciter well known as an exciter for vibrating a speaker may be used. The electromagnetic exciter is such that an electric signal is passed through a coil to vibrate a thin iron plate.

Abstract
Description
図1Aは、第1の実施形態に係る音響発生器1を振動体10の主面に垂直な方向から見た模式平面図、図1Bは、図1AのA-A’線断面図、図1Cは、図1AのB-B’線断面図である。なお、図1Bおよび図1Cにおいては、理解を容易にするために、音響発生器1を上下方向に拡張し、デフォルメして示している。
図9は、第2の実施形態に係る音響発生器1を示す図1AのB-B’線断面図、図10は、図9に示す圧電振動素子20における凹部の配置例を示す模式図である。なお、図9においては、理解を容易にするために、音響発生器1を上下方向に拡張し、デフォルメして示している。なお、図1A~図1Cに示す第1の実施形態と同じ構成には同一の符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
上述してきた各構成では、表面電極層23の表面に凸部29または凹部39のいずれかを配置したものを示したが、凸部29および凹部39の両方を配置しても良い。例えば、図12に示すように、表面電極層23の表面において、その外周部分のうち、その一部に凹部39を、残りの部分に凸部29を、それぞれ配置するようにしても良い。
