Abstract

An ultrasonic probe (12) includes an element chip (22), a flexible wiring member (23) and a control circuit (24). The element chip includes a substrate (31) forming a plurality of openings (48) arranged in an array pattern and a plurality of ultrasonic transducer elements (33) disposed at the openings. The flexible wiring member is connected to the element chip, and forming at least a part of an annular body (21) surrounding a space. The control circuit is connected to the flexible wiring member and electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer elements via the flexible wiring member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic probe, electronic equipment and an ultrasonic diagnostic device using the ultrasonic probe. Background technique [0002] Ultrasonic detectors mounted on human fingers, ie finger cuff detectors, are well known. A single ultrasonic transducer element or an element array formed by arranging a plurality of bulk ultrasonic transducer elements is used in the finger cuff probe. Here, if an element array is used, scanning of the ultrasonic beam can be realized. A cross-sectional image can be formed from such scanning. When realizing scanning, a plurality of signal lines are drawn out from the element array.
