- the tension applied to the diaphragm 3 (vibrating body 3a) is made different between the central portion of the diaphragm 3 (vibrating body 3a) and other portions. That is, by making the tension applied to the vibration plate 3 (vibrating body 3a) asymmetric, the symmetry of the vibrating body 3a and thus the entire composite vibrating body is reduced.
- the resonance frequency is partially unbalanced so that the degeneration of the resonance mode is solved and dispersed, so that the height of the peak P is lowered and the peak width is widened.
- the tension of the central portion of the diaphragm 3 (vibrating body 3a) is set to 0.2 to 100 gf / mm, for example, and the tension of other portions is set to 0.24 to 400 gf / mm, for example. For example, it is effective to be 1.2 to 4 times.

In other words, the tension is the smallest at the central portion of the diaphragm 3 (vibrating body 3a), and the portion having the largest tension is in other portions except the central portion. That is, since the tension applied to the vibrating body 3a can be asymmetrical, the resonance frequency can be partially unbalanced and the frequency characteristics of the sound pressure can be flattened.
- a tension meter may be pressed against the measurement site and measured. That is, the tension meter may be pressed against the central portion of the diaphragm 3 (vibrating body 3a) and other portions to measure the tension, and the tension may be different between the central portion and the other portions.

Can be flattened. That is, it is possible to obtain a favorable frequency characteristic of sound pressure.

- the tension may be uniformly applied in the longitudinal direction and non-uniform in the short direction.
- the tension applied to the vibrating body 3a can be asymmetrical, and the tension in the longitudinal direction can be made relatively large to prevent the piezoelectric element 5 from being violated by vibration and to suppress distortion of the sound. It is possible to obtain the effect of being able to.

- the microphone input unit 50d is also an input device of the electronic device 50, and accepts a voice input operation by an operator.
- the display unit 50e is a display output device of the electronic device 50, and outputs display information based on the control of the controller 50a.
- the sound generator 1 operates as a sound output device in the electronic device 50.
- the sound generator 1 is connected to the controller 50a of the electronic circuit 60, and emits sound upon application of a voltage controlled by the controller 50a.
- the electronic device 50 is described as a portable terminal device.
- the electronic device 50 is not limited to the type of the electronic device 50, and may be applied to various consumer devices having a function of emitting sound.
- flat-screen TVs and car audio devices can of course be used for products having a function of emitting sound such as "speak", for example, various products such as vacuum cleaners, washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens, etc. .
- the sound generator includes an exciter (piezoelectric element), a vibrating body, and a support.
- the exciter vibrates when an electric signal is input thereto.
- the vibrator is attached with the exciter, and vibrates with the exciter due to the vibration of the exciter.
- the support is provided on at least a part of the outer peripheral portion of the vibrating body, and supports the vibrating body in a substantially flat shape. In addition, different tensions are applied to the vibrating body at the central portion of the vibrating body and other portions.
- the sound generator according to the embodiment it is possible to obtain a favorable frequency characteristic of sound pressure.
- the piezoelectric element is provided on one main surface of the vibrating body as an example.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the piezoelectric element is provided on both surfaces of the vibrating body. It may be provided.
- the exciter is a piezoelectric element
- the exciter is not limited to the piezoelectric element, and has a function of vibrating when an electric signal is input. What is necessary is just to have.
- an electrodynamic exciter for vibrating a speaker
- an electrostatic exciter for vibrating a speaker
- an electromagnetic exciter well known as an exciter for vibrating a speaker
- the electrodynamic exciter is such that an electric current is passed through a coil disposed between the magnetic poles of a permanent magnet to vibrate the coil.
- the electrostatic exciter is composed of two metals facing each other. A bias and an electric signal are passed through the plate to vibrate the metal plate, and an electromagnetic exciter is an electric signal that is passed through the coil to vibrate a thin iron plate.
