Abstract

A transducer is provided with: a piezoelectric element (10) having a piezoelectric film (13) sandwiched between a pair of electrodes (11, 12); a film body (15) having a vibrating film (16) displaceable in the film thickness direction, the piezoelectric element being laminated on the vibrating film (16); a package (60) having an internal space (90) in which the piezoelectric element (10) and the film body (15) are housed; and a contact pad (80) that is provided in the internal space (90) and that restricts the displacement of the vibrating membrane (16) by contacting the piezoelectric element (10) or the vibrating membrane (16) when the vibrating membrane (16) is displaced in the membrane thickness direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to transducers. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, transducers for transmitting or receiving sound waves or ultrasonic waves are known. The transducer can be used, for example, as a speaker for transmitting sound waves, and it can be mounted on earphones, wearable terminals, and the like. [0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a sound generating device suitable for earphones. The sound generating device includes a coil generating a magnetic field and a magnet interacting with the magnetic field generated by the coil to vibrate the vibrating plate. [0004] Speakers that use coils and magnets require a large drive voltage, resulting in higher power consumption. Therefore, a speaker using a piezoelectric element including a pair of electrodes sandwiching a piezoelectric film from both sides has also attracted attention (for example, refer to Patent Document 2). Such speakers are manufactured using M...
