Problems solved by technology

[0008] Although piezoelectric actuators can be advantageously reduced in size and thickness, they are inferior to electromagnetic actuators in terms of acoustic component performance
This is due to the rigidity of the piezoelectric element itself and the fact that piezoelectric actuators do not provide a sufficiently large average amplitude compared to electromagnetic actuators

Abstract

A piezoelectric actuator capable of providing high sound pressure and excellent frequency characteristics when it is used as an acoustic element and advantageous for a reduction in size. The piezoelectric actuator (50) comprises a piezoelectric element (10) performing such an expansion / contraction motion that its principal plane is expanded or contracted according to the state of a filed, a pedestal (24) on which the piezoelectric element is stamped, and four beam parts (30) connected to the outer peripheral parts of the pedestal (24). The pedestal (vibrating part) is vertically vibrated according to the expansion / contraction motion of the piezoelectric element (10). Each of the beam parts (30) comprises an extension part (35) extending from the outer peripheral part of the pedestal (24) to the outside and a rise part (36) continuously extended from the extension part (35) in a direction perpendicular to the extended direction of the extension part (35).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a piezoelectric actuator for generating vibration using a piezoelectric element, and an acoustic component and an electronic device using the piezoelectric actuator. Background technique [0002] Currently, electromagnetic actuators are used as drive sources for acoustic components such as speakers. The electromagnetic actuator includes a permanent magnet and a voice coil, and generates vibration by the action of a magnetic circuit of a stator including the magnet. The electromagnetic speaker emits sound by vibrating a low-rigidity vibration plate, such as an organic thin film, etc., fixed to the vibrating body of the electromagnetic actuator. [0003] In recent years, the demand for portable phones and personal computers has gradually increased, and accordingly the corresponding demand for small and energy-saving actuators has also increased. The electromagnetic actuator is required to provide a large current to the ...
