For example, the size of the vibration device 130 may be the same as or approximately the same as the size of the vibrating member 100 or the display area (AA) of the display panel, so that it can cover most of the area of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel, and the vibration generated by the vibration device 130 can vibrate the entire area of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel, so that the sense of sound localization is high and the satisfaction of the user can be improved. In addition, the contact area (or panel coverage) between the vibrating member 100 or the display panel and the vibrating device 130 can be increased, and the vibration area of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel can be increased, so that the sound in the deep bass range generated by the vibration of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel can be improved. And, the vibrating device 130 applied to a large device can vibrate the entire large (or large area) vibrating member 100 or the display panel, so that the sense of localization of the sound caused by the vibration of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel can be further improved, and improved sound effects can be realized. Therefore, the vibrating device 130 according to the embodiment of the present specification is disposed on the back or on the top of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel, and can sufficiently vibrate the vibrating member 100 or the display panel in the up-down (or front-back) direction, so that the desired sound can be output in front of the device.
[0062] Since the vibration device 130 is embodied in a film form, it may have a thickness thinner than the vibration member 100 or the display panel, so that an increase in the thickness of the device due to the arrangement of the vibration device 130 can be minimized. For example, the vibration device 130 may use the vibration member 100 or the display panel as an acoustic diaphragm. For example, the vibration device 130 may be expressed as a vibration generator, a displacement device, an acoustic device, an acoustic generation module, an acoustic generator, a film actuator, a film type piezoelectric composite actuator, a film speaker, a film type piezoelectric speaker, or a film type piezoelectric composite speaker, and is not limited to the terms. In other embodiments of the present specification, the vibration device 130 may not be disposed on the rear surface of the display panel, and may be applied to a non-display panel instead of the display panel. For example, the vibration device 130 may be applied to one or more of wood, plastic, glass, metal, cloth, fiber, rubber, paper, mirror, leather, automotive interior materials, ceilings, aircraft, and the like, and is not limited thereto. In this case, the non-display panel may be applied as a diaphragm, and the non-display panel may be vibrated to output sound.
[0063] The vibration device 130 according to embodiments herein may be disposed on the back of the vibration member 100 or the display panel so as to overlap the display area of the vibration member 100 or the display panel. For example, the vibration device 130 may overlap more than half of the display area of the vibration member 100 or more than half of the display area of the display panel. In other embodiments herein, the vibration device 130 may overlap the entire vibration member 100 or the entire display area of the display panel.
[0064] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the vibrating member 100 may include a plate. The plate may include a metallic material or any one or more of a single non-metallic or composite non-metallic material including, but not limited to, wood, plastic, glass, cloth, fiber, rubber, paper, mirror, and leather.
[0065] The vibration device 130 according to the embodiment of the present specification can vibrate by alternately repeating contraction and expansion due to the inverse piezoelectric effect when an AC voltage is applied, and can vibrate the vibrating member 100 or the display panel through the vibration. For example, the vibration device 130 can vibrate the display panel by vibrating with a voice signal synchronized with an image displayed on the display panel. In another embodiment of the present specification, the vibration device 130 can vibrate the display panel by vibrating with a haptic feedback signal (or tactile feedback signal) synchronized with a user's touch on a touch panel (or a touch sensor layer) disposed on or built into the display panel. In this way, the display panel can vibrate due to the vibration of the vibration device 130, and can provide at least one of audio and haptic feedback to the user (or viewer).
[0066] Therefore, the device according to the embodiments of the present specification can output sound generated by vibration of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel due to vibration of the vibrating device 130 to the front of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel, and the device according to the embodiments of the present specification can vibrate most of the area of the vibrating member 100 (or the display panel) due to the film-shaped vibrating device 130, thereby further improving the sound pressure characteristics and sense of sound localization caused by the vibration of the vibrating member 100 (or the display panel).
[0067] The device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a coupling member 150 (or a first coupling member) between the vibration member 100 and the vibration device 130 .
[0068] For example, the connecting member 150 can be disposed between the rear surface (or back surface) of the vibration member 100 and the vibration device 130, and can connect or couple the vibration device 130 to the rear surface of the vibration member 100. For example, the vibration device 130 can be supported or disposed on the rear surface of the vibration member 100 by connecting or coupling the vibration device 130 to the rear surface of the vibration member 100 via the connecting member 150.
[0069] The connecting member 150 according to the embodiment of the present specification may be made of a material including an adhesive layer having excellent adhesion or bonding strength to each of the rear surface of the vibrating member 100 and the vibrating device 130. For example, the connecting member 150 may include, but is not limited to, a foam pad, a double-sided tape, a double-sided foam pad, a double-sided foam tape, or an adhesive. For example, the adhesive layer of the connecting member 150 may include, but is not limited to, epoxy, acrylic, silicone, or urethane. For example, the adhesive layer of the connecting member 150 may include an acrylic-based substance (or material) having relatively better adhesion and higher hardness than urethane. This allows the vibration of the vibrating device 130 to be well transmitted to the vibrating member 100.
[0070] The adhesive layer of the connecting member 150 may further include an additive such as, but not limited to, a tackifier, a wax component, or an antioxidant. The additive can prevent the connecting member 150 from falling off (or peeling off) from the vibrating member 100 due to the vibration of the vibration device 130. For example, the tackifier can be a rosin derivative, the wax component can be paraffin wax, and the antioxidant can be a phenol-based antioxidant such as a thioester, and the examples of the present specification are not limited thereto.
[0071] The connecting member 150 according to another embodiment of the present specification may further include a hollow portion provided between the vibrating member 100 and the vibrating device 130. The hollow portion of the connecting member 150 may provide an air gap between the vibrating member 100 and the vibrating device 130. The air gap allows sound waves (or sound pressure) caused by the vibration of the vibrating device 130 to be concentrated on the vibrating member 100 without being dispersed by the connecting member 150, thereby minimizing vibration loss caused by the connecting member 150 and improving the sound pressure characteristics of the sound generated by the vibration of the vibrating member 100.
[0072] The device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a support member 300 disposed on the back (or rear) surface of the vibration member 100 .
[0073] The support member 300 can be disposed on the rear surface of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel. For example, the support member 300 can cover the rear surface of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel. For example, the support member 300 can cover the entire rear surface of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel with a gap space (GS) in between. The support member 300 can be separated from the rear surface of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel with a gap space (GS) in between, or separated from the vibration device 100. For example, the gap space (GS) can be expressed as an air gap, a vibration space, an acoustic resonator, or the like, and is not limited to the terms.

The support member 300 may be expressed by other terms such as a cover bottom, a plate bottom, a back cover, a base frame, a metal frame, a metal chassis, a chassis base, or an m-chassis. For example, the support member 300 may be embodied as any type of frame or plate-like structure disposed on the rear of the vibration member 100.
[0075] The edge portion or sharp corner portion (or periphery) of the support member 300 may have a beveled or curved shape by a chamfering process or a corner rounding process. For example, the glass support member 300 may be sapphire glass. In another embodiment of the present specification, the metal support member 300 may be made of any one or more of aluminum, aluminum alloy, magnesium, magnesium alloy, and iron-nickel alloy.
[0076] A support member 300 according to embodiments herein can include a first support member 310 and a second support member 330 .
[0077] The first support member 310 may be disposed between the rear surface of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel and the second support member 330. For example, the first support member 310 may be disposed between the rear end portion (or rear periphery) of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel and the front end portion (or front periphery) of the second support member 330. The first support member 310 may support one or more of the end portion (or peripheral portion) of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel and the end portion (or peripheral portion) of the second support member 330. In other embodiments of the present specification, the first support member 310 may cover the rear surface of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel. For example, the first support member 310 may cover the entire rear surface of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel. For example, the first support member 310 may be a member that covers the entire rear surface of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel. For example, the first support member 310 may include at least one material selected from the group consisting of a glass material, a metal material, and a plastic material. For example, the first support member 310 may be an inner plate, a first rear structure, a first support structure, a first support cover, a first back cover, a first rear member, an inner plate, or an inner cover, and is not limited to the terms. For example, the first support member 310 may be omitted.
[0078] The first support member 310 may be separated from the rear end surface of the vibrating member 100 through a gap space (GS) or may be separated from the vibrating device 130. For example, the gap space (GS) may be expressed as an air gap, a vibration space, or an acoustic resonator, and is not limited to the terminology.
[0079] The second support member 330 may be disposed on the rear surface of the first support member 310. The second support member 330 may be a member that covers the entire rear surface of the vibration member 100 or the display panel. For example, the second support member 330 may include at least one of a glass material, a metal material, and a plastic material.

[0080] The support member 300 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a connecting member 350 (or a second connecting member).
[0081] The connecting member 350 may be disposed between the first support member 310 and the second support member 330. For example, the first support member 310 and the second support member 330 may be bonded or connected to each other via the connecting member 350. For example, the connecting member 350 may be, but is not limited to, an adhesive resin, a double-sided tape, or a double-sided adhesive foam pad. For example, the connecting member 350 may have elasticity for shock absorption, but is not limited to this. For example, the connecting member 350 may be disposed in the entire area between the first support member 310 and the second support member 330. In other embodiments of the present specification, the connecting member 350 may be formed in a net-like structure having an air gap between the first support member 310 and the second support member 330.
[0082] The device according to the embodiment of the present specification may further include a middle frame 400. The middle frame 400 may be disposed between the rear end (or rear periphery) of the vibration member 100 or the display panel and the front end (or front periphery) of the support member 300. The middle frame 400 may support one or more of the end portion (or peripheral portion) of the display panel and the end portion (or peripheral portion) of the support member 300. The middle frame 400 may surround one or more of the respective sides of the display panel and the support member 300. The middle frame 400 may provide a gap space (GS) between the display panel and the support member 300. The middle frame 400 may be expressed as a middle cabinet, a middle cover, a middle chassis, a connecting member, a frame, a frame member, an intermediate member, or a side cover member, and is not limited to the terms.
[0083] The middle frame 400 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include a first support portion 410 and a second support portion 430. For example, the first support portion 410 may be a support portion, and is not limited to the term. For example, the second support portion 430 may be a side wall portion, and is not limited to the term.
[0084] The first support part 410 is disposed between the rear end (or rear periphery) of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel and the front end (or front periphery) of the support member 300, thereby providing a gap space (GS) between the vibrating member 100 or the display panel and the support member 300. The front surface of the first support part 410 may be coupled or connected to the rear end (or rear periphery) of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel via a first connecting member 401. The rear surface of the first support part 410 may be coupled or connected to the front end (or front periphery) of the support member 300 via a second connecting member 403. For example, the first support part 410 may have a single frame structure in a rectangular shape or may include a frame structure in a multiple divided bar shape, and other embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto.
[0085] The second support part 430 can be arranged parallel to the thickness direction (Z) of the device. For example, the second support part 430 can be vertically coupled to the outer surface of the first support part 410 so as to be parallel to the thickness direction (Z) of the device. The second support part 430 can protect the outer surfaces of the vibration member 100 and the support member 300 by surrounding one or more of the outer surfaces of the vibration member 100 and the support member 300. The first support part 410 can protrude from the inner surface of the second support part 430 into the gap space (GS) between the vibration member 100 and the support member 300.
[0086] Apparatus according to embodiments herein may include a panel connecting member (or connecting members) in place of the middle frame 400 .
[0087] The panel connecting member is disposed between the rear end (or rear periphery) of the vibrating member 100 and the front end (or front periphery) of the support member 300, thereby providing a gap space (GS) between the vibrating member 100 and the support member 300. The panel connecting member is disposed between the rear end (or rear periphery) of the vibrating member 100 and the front end (or front periphery) of the support member 300, thereby bonding the vibrating member 100 and the support member 300. For example, the panel connecting member may be embodied as a double-sided tape, a single-sided tape, or a double-sided adhesive foam pad, but is not limited thereto. For example, the adhesive layer of the panel connecting member may include, but is not limited to, epoxy, acrylic, silicone, or urethane. For example, the adhesive layer of the panel connecting member may include a urethane-based substance (or material) having relatively softer properties than urethane and acrylic in order to minimize the transmission of vibration of the vibrating member 100 to the support member 300. This can minimize the vibration of the vibrating member 100 transmitted to the display panel or the support member 300.
[0088] In the device according to the embodiment of the present specification, when the panel connecting member is included instead of the middle frame 400, the support member 300 may include a curved sidewall that is bent from one side (or tip) of the second support member 330 and surrounds one or more of the outer surfaces (or outer walls) of the first support member 310, the panel connecting member, and the vibration member 100. The curved sidewall according to the embodiment of the present specification may have a single sidewall structure or a hemming structure. The hemming structure may be a structure in which the ends of any member are bent into a curved shape to overlap each other or are spaced apart parallel to each other. For example, in order to improve the aesthetic appearance of the side design, the curved sidewall may include a first curved sidewall that is bent from one side (or tip) of the second support member 330 and a second curved sidewall that is bent from the first curved sidewall to between the first curved sidewall and the outer surface of the vibration member 100. The second bending side wall may contact the inner side of the first bending side wall, or may be spaced apart from the inner side of the first bending side wall so as to reduce the transmission of an external impact in the lateral direction to the outer side of the vibration member 100. Thus, the second bending side wall may prevent the outer side of the vibration member 100 from contacting the inner side of the first bending side wall, or may reduce the transmission of an external impact in the lateral direction to the outer side of the vibration member 100.
[0089] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may omit the middle frame 400. The middle frame 400 may be replaced by a panel connecting member or adhesive. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the middle frame 400 may be replaced by a partition.
[0090] The inventors of this specification conducted various experiments to improve the acoustic characteristics in the low frequency range because the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range are degraded when the vibration device 130 is configured as a film type vibration device. Through several experiments, they invented a device with a new structure that can improve the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range. This will be described below.
[0091] 3A to 3C are diagrams showing a vibration section according to an embodiment of the present specification.
[0092] 3A to 3C, a vibration device 130 according to an embodiment of the present specification may include a first vibration part 131 and a second vibration part 132. For example, the first vibration part 131 may be configured with or include at least one or more first vibration parts. For example, the second vibration part 132 may be configured with or include a plurality of second vibration parts. The plurality of second vibration parts may be different from the one or more first vibration parts. For example, one or more of the shape, size, material, material properties, or acoustic output properties of the plurality of second vibration parts may be different from the one or more first vibration parts.
[0093] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the first vibrating part 131 may be made of a material having a polycrystalline structure, and the second vibrating part 132 may be made of a material having a single crystal structure. For example, the first vibrating part 131 may be made of a polycrystalline ceramic, and the second vibrating part 132 may be made of a single crystal ceramic.
[0094] For example, the first vibration part 131 may be a polycrystalline vibration part, and the second vibration part 132 may be a single crystal vibration part. For example, the first vibration part 131 may be composed of irregular grains in which various crystal domains exist. For example, the second vibration part 132 may have a structure in which grains having a single crystal domain of a certain structure are regularly arranged. The first vibration part 131 has vibration characteristics approximately two to three times smaller than the second vibration part 132, which causes a problem of lower sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range. However, since it can be manufactured in a large area, it can be embodied as a large vibration device or acoustic device. The second vibration part 132 has vibration characteristics, such as a piezoelectric constant (d 33is larger in the thickness direction (Z), for example, the piezoelectric deformation constant "d33" is two or three times larger in the thickness direction (Z). Since it is possible to manufacture a vibration element that is about two to three times larger, it is possible to have relatively high sound pressure characteristics (or acoustic characteristics) in the low frequency range. Therefore, the inventors of the present specification conducted several experiments to apply the second vibration part 132 in order to improve the acoustic characteristics and / or sound pressure characteristics in the low frequency range that occur when a vibration device is realized with the first vibration part 131. Through several experiments, a vibration device including the first vibration part 131 and the second vibration part 132 was invented. This will be described below.
[0095] The vibration device 130 according to the embodiment of the present specification can vibrate by alternately repeating contraction and expansion due to the piezoelectric effect (or piezoelectric properties). The vibration device 130 according to the embodiment of the present specification can vibrate the vibrating member 100 or the display panel by vibrating in the thickness direction (Z) by alternately repeating contraction and expansion due to the inverse piezoelectric effect and / or the piezoelectric effect. For example, the vibration device 130 can be a vibrating film, a displacement generator, a displacement film, an acoustic generator, a vibrating array, a vibrating array section, a vibrating structure array section, or a vibrating array structure, and is not limited to the terms.
[0096] Each of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 may include a piezoelectric material having a piezoelectric effect, a composite piezoelectric material, or an electroactive material. Each of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 may be expressed by terms such as a piezoelectric vibration part, a piezoelectric vibration layer, a displacement part, a piezoelectric displacement part, a piezoelectric displacement layer, a sound wave generating part, a vibration layer, a piezoelectric material layer, a piezoelectric composite layer, an electroactive layer, a piezoelectric material part, an electroactive part, a piezoelectric structure, a piezoelectric composite, or a piezoelectric ceramic composite, but is not limited to these terms.
[0097] For example, each of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 may be made of a ceramic-based material capable of realizing a relatively high vibration, and / or may be made of a piezoelectric ceramic having a perovskite-based crystal structure. The perovskite crystal structure may have a piezoelectric and / or inverse piezoelectric effect and may be a plate-like structure having orientation. The perovskite crystal structure may be represented by the formula ABO3, where the A site is made of a divalent metal element and the B site is made of a tetravalent metal element. For example, in the formula ABO3, the A site and the B site may be cations and O may be anions. For example, the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 may include at least one of PbTiO3, PbZrO3, PbZrTiO3, BaTiO3, and SrTiO3, but are not limited thereto.
[0098] In the perovskite crystal structure, the position of the central ion, for example, Ti ion in the case of PbTiO3, fluctuates due to external stress or electric field, causing a change in polarization, which can generate a piezoelectric effect. For example, the perovskite crystal structure can generate a piezoelectric effect by changing from a cubic shape, which is a symmetric structure, to an asymmetric structure such as a tetragonal, orthorhombic, or rhombohedral shape, which is an asymmetric structure, due to external stress or magnetic field. Since the polarization is high at the morphotropic phase boundary of the tetragonal and rhombohedral structures, and the polarization can be easily rearranged, the perovskite crystal structure can have high piezoelectric properties.
[0099] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the inorganic material parts formed in each of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 may include one or more of lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), titanium (Ti), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), niobium (Nb), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), and indium (In), but are not limited thereto.
[0100] According to another embodiment of the present specification, the inorganic material portion of each of the first vibrating portion 131 and the second vibrating portion 132 may include, but is not limited to, a PZT (lead zirconate titanate)-based material including lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), and titanium (Ti), or a PZNN (lead nickel zirconate niobate)-based material including lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), nickel (Ni), and niobium (Nb). According to another embodiment of the present specification, the inorganic material portion may include, but is not limited to, a PMN (lead magnesium niobate)-based material, a PNN (lead nickel niobate)-based material, a PZN (lead zirconate niobate)-based material, or a PIN (lead indium niobate)-based material. The PMN-based material may include lead (Pb), magnesium (Mg), and niobium (Nb), and may be, for example, Pb(Mg,Nb)O3. The PNN-based material may include lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and niobium (Nb), and may be, for example, Pb(Ni,Nb)O3. The PIN-based material may include lead (Pb), indium (In), and niobium (Nb), and may be, for example, Pb(In,Nb)O3. According to another embodiment of the present specification, the inorganic material portion formed in each of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 may include at least one of CaTiO3, BaTiO3, and SrTiO3 that does not include lead (Pb), but is not limited thereto.
[0101] According to another embodiment of the present specification, the inorganic material parts formed in each of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 have a piezoelectric constant (d 33 In order to apply the vibration device to a large display panel or vibration member and to have sufficient vibration or piezoelectric characteristics, a high piezoelectric constant (d 33 For example, it is necessary to have a high piezoelectric constant (d 33), the inorganic material portion may include a PZT-based material (PbZrTiO3) as a main component, a softener dopant material doped in the A site (Pb), and a relaxor ferroelectric material doped in the B site (ZrTi).
[0102] The softener dopant material can improve the piezoelectric and / or dielectric properties of the inorganic material portion, for example, the piezoelectric constant (d 33 ) can be increased. The softener dopant material according to the embodiment of the present specification can include elements with a valence of +2 to +3. By including the softener dopant material in the PZT-based material (PbZrTiO3), a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) can be formed, thereby improving the piezoelectric and dielectric properties. For example, the softener dopant material can include one or more of strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), calcium (Ca), yttrium (Y), erbium (Er), and ytterbium (Yb). For example, the ions (Sr) of the softener dopant material doped in the PZT-based material (PbZrTiO3) can be increased. 2+ , B.A. 2+ , La 2+ , Nd 3+ , Ca 2+ , Y 3+ , Er 3+ , Yb 3+ ) replaces a portion of lead (Pb) in the PZT-based material (PbZrTiO3), and the amount of substitution can be 2 to 20 mol %. For example, if the amount of substitution is less than 2 mol % or more than 20 mol %, the perovskite crystal structure will break, and the electric coupling coefficient (kP) and piezoelectric constant (d 33 When a softener dopant material is substituted, a morphotropic phase boundary can be formed, and the phase boundary can have high piezoelectric and dielectric properties, so that a vibrating device having high piezoelectric and dielectric properties can be realized.
[0103] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the relaxor ferroelectric material doped in the PZT-based material (PbZrTiO3) can improve the electro-deformation properties of the inorganic material part. The relaxor ferroelectric material according to the embodiment of the present specification can include, but is not limited to, a PMN (lead magnesium niobate)-based material or a PNN (lead nickel niobate)-based material. The PMN-based material can include lead (Pb), magnesium (Mg), and niobium (Nb), and can be, for example, Pb(Mg,Nb)O3. The PNN-based material can include lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and niobium (Nb), and can be, for example, Pb(Ni,Nb)O3. The PZN-based material can include lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), and niobium (Nb), and can be, for example, Pb(Zr,Nb)O3. The PIN-based material may contain lead (Pb), indium (In), and niobium (Nb), for example, Pb(In,Nb)O3. For example, a relaxor ferroelectric material doped in a PZT-based material (PbZrTiO3) may have a zirconium (Zr) and titanium (Ti) partly substituted in the PZT-based material (PbZrTiO3) at a substitution amount of 5 to 25 mol%. For example, if the substitution amount is less than 5 mol% or more than 25 mol%, the perovskite crystal structure is cracked, and the electric coupling coefficient (kP) and piezoelectric constant (d 33 ) may decrease.
[0104] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the inorganic material portion formed in each of the first vibrating portion 131 and the second vibrating portion 132 may further include a donor material doped in the B site (ZrTi) of the PZT-based material (PbZrTiO3) to further improve the piezoelectric constant. For example, the donor material doped in the B site (ZrTi) may include elements with a valence of +4 to +6. For example, the donor material doped in the B site (ZrTi) may include tellurium (Te), germanium (Ge), uranium (U), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), antimony (Sb), or tungsten (W).
[0105] According to the embodiment of the present specification, the second vibration part 132 has a large electric coupling coefficient (kP) and a high piezoelectric constant (d 33 ) The vibration direction of the second vibrating part 132 may vary depending on the crystal direction. For example, when the crystal direction of the second vibrating part 132 is the (001) crystal direction, the second vibrating part 132 has a high piezoelectric constant (d 33 ) vibration mode, and the vibrating member 100 can be vibrated in the thickness direction (or vertical direction) (Z-axis vibration or up-down vibration), so that an increase in sound pressure in the high frequency range can be induced. For example, when the crystal orientation of the second vibrating portion 132 is the (011) crystal orientation, a high piezoelectric constant (d 32 ) vibration mode, which can vibrate the vibrating member 100 in the lateral direction (X-axis vibration, left-right vibration, or transverse vibration), can induce an increase in sound pressure in the low frequency range.
[0106] According to the embodiment of the present specification, the second vibrating part 132 vibrating in the side direction (XY axis vibration) is configured on the first vibrating part 131 vibrating in the thickness direction (Z axis vibration), so that the sound in the low frequency range can be improved. By configuring the second vibrating part 132 having a (011) crystal orientation and reducing the area that the second vibrating part 132 occupies in the vibration device 130, the manufacturing cost of the vibration device 130 using the second vibrating part 132 can be reduced while improving the sound in the low frequency range.
[0107] 3A, the vibration device 130 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include a second vibration part 132 adjacent to the first vibration part 131. The second vibration part may be composed of a 2-1 vibration part 132-1 and a 2-2 vibration part 132-2. The first vibration part 131 may be disposed in the center of the vibration member 100. The second vibration part 132 may be disposed above and below the first vibration part 131. The second vibration part 132 may be disposed above and below the first vibration part 131 with the first vibration part 131 at the center. For example, the 2-1 vibration part 132-1 may be disposed above the first vibration part 131. For example, the 2-2 vibration part 132-2 may be disposed below the first vibration part 131. For example, the 2-1 vibration part 132-1 may be the second vibration part, and the 2-2 vibration part 132-2 may be the third vibration part. For example, the 2-1 vibration part 132-1 may be a first vibration part of the second vibration part 132, and the 2-2 vibration part 132-2 may be a second vibration part of the second vibration part 132. It is understood that the foregoing description provides examples and does not limit the scope of the present specification. As used herein, a reference to a first feature being adjacent to a second feature may be used to indicate that the first feature is adjacent to the second feature, e.g., laterally disposed in a direction parallel to the front surface of the vibrating member / display panel described herein. The 2-1 vibration part 132-1 may be disposed adjacent to a first side of the first vibration part 131, and the 2-2 vibration part 132-2 may be disposed adjacent to a second side of the first vibration part 131. The first side may be opposite the second side.
[0108] The thickness of each of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 may be 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto. As the thickness of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 becomes smaller, the voltage (or net electric field) applied per thickness becomes larger, so that the vibration characteristics of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 can be further improved. For example, when the thicknesses of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 are 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm, respectively, and 10 V (volt) is applied, the magnitude of the electric field applied per thickness can be 100 V / mm and 50 V / mm, respectively. Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field of the first vibrating part 131 and the second vibrating part 132 with a thickness of 0.1 mm is about twice or more, and the sound pressure is improved by about 6 dB (decibel), so that the vibration characteristics can be further improved.
[0109] The second vibration part 132 is disposed above and below the first vibration part 131 with the first vibration part 131 at the center, so that it is possible to induce side vibration by the second vibration part 132. Since the second vibration part 132 includes the (011) crystal orientation, d 32 When the second vibrating portion 132 is elongated in the thickness direction (d 33 directional) versus horizontal (d 32 direction) ratio (d 32 / d 33 ). The second vibrating part 132 repeats contraction and expansion due to an external voltage, vibrating in opposite directions, for example, when the length of the XY axis expands, the length of the Z axis contracts. As a result, in the case of a vibrating part having a high aspect ratio, for example, in the horizontal / thickness direction, the length of the X axis and / or the length of the Y axis expand (or contract) by the aspect ratio, in contrast to the contraction (or expansion) in which the length of the Z axis decreases, so that the vibration characteristics of the second vibrating part 132 can be further improved. For example, when the horizontal / thickness direction is 5, the vibration characteristics of the second vibrating part 132 can be improved by about 5 times.
[0110] 3C, the ratio (a' / b') of the horizontal length (a') to the vertical length (b') of the second vibrating part 132, for example, the 2-1 vibrating part 132-1 and the 2-2 vibrating part 132-2, may be 5 or more, but is not limited thereto. As a result, the second vibrating part 132 has a high vibration displacement, so that the vibration characteristic of vibrating the vibrating member 100 is increased, and high sound pressure can be output in the low frequency range. For example, the horizontal length of the second vibrating part 132 may be 5 cm to 10 cm, but is not limited thereto.
[0111] Referring to FIG. 3B, the first vibrating portion 131 may have a rectangular shape, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. As another example, the first vibrating portion 131 may be configured in a square shape, a rectangle shape, or a diamond shape. The vertical length (b) of the first vibrating portion 131 may be configured to be longer than the horizontal length (a). For example, the first vibrating portion 131 may be configured to have a thickness direction (d 33 Since the first vibrating portion 131 vibrates in two directions (directions), the larger the area (or the XY area), the more the vibration characteristics can be improved. Since the larger the area of the first vibrating portion 131, the more the vibration characteristics can be improved, the more the sound pressure characteristics can be improved.
[0112] According to the embodiments of the present specification, since the second vibrating part 132 is arranged above and below the first vibrating part 131 with the first vibrating part 131 at the center, it is possible to provide a vibration device 130 that has sound pressure characteristics and / or acoustic characteristics in a full range sound band including the low frequency band by complementing the sound pressure characteristics and / or acoustic characteristics in the low frequency band. Furthermore, since the first vibrating part 131 is arranged closer to the center of the vibrating member 100 than the second vibrating part 132, it is possible to provide a vibration device 130 that can further improve the sound in the high frequency band.

[0148] The vibrating layer 131a can be polarized (poled) by a constant voltage applied to the first electrode portion 131b and the second electrode portion 131c in a constant temperature atmosphere or a temperature atmosphere that changes from high temperature to room temperature, but is not limited to this. For example, the vibrating layer 131a can vibrate by alternately repeating contraction and expansion due to the inverse piezoelectric effect caused by an acoustic signal (or voice signal) applied from the outside to the first electrode portion 131b and the second electrode portion 131c. For example, the vibrating layer 131a can be polarized (poled) in the vertical direction (d 33 ) and lateral vibration (d 32 ) to vibrate the vibration member 100. The vibration layer 131a of the first vibrating section 131 is vibrated in the vertical direction (d 33 ) to vibrate the vibration member 100. The vibration layer 132a of the second vibrating section 132 is vibrated in the lateral direction (d 32) can vibrate the vibrating member 100. Due to the contraction and expansion of the vibrating layer 130a in the vertical and / or lateral directions, the displacement of the vibrating member (or the diaphragm, or the vibrating object) can be increased, thereby further improving the vibration characteristics.

For example, the solid state crystal growth method may be a method in which a powder of ceramic or the like is mixed, a single crystal seed is attached, and the polycrystal is grown into a single crystal through a sintering process. For example, the single crystal seed may be BaTixZr(1-x)O3, but is not limited thereto. To explain this method, a powder of ceramic or the like is mixed, crushed, and sintered. The sintering temperature is 800°C, but is not limited thereto. Then, a secondary raw material is mixed and crushed. For example, the secondary raw material may be a lead (Pb) compensation raw material, but is not limited thereto. Then, a pellet (grain) is made and sintered. Then, the growth of the mixture is induced using a seed template (e.g., polycrystal), and crystal growth and lead (Pb) compensation are performed to manufacture the second vibrating part 132. The crystal growth and lead (Pb) compensation can proceed at temperatures of 900° C. or more for 200 hours or more, but is not limited thereto.
[0162] The second vibrating part 132 according to another embodiment of the present specification may be formed by the Bridgman method.

To explain this method, ceramics or other powders are mixed and crushed, and then melted. The melting temperature may be 1300°C to 1700°C, but is not limited thereto. Then, the second vibrating part 132 is manufactured by growing a single crystal by inducing crystallization of the molten material while lowering the temperature. The crystallization temperature may be 800°C to 1400°C, but is not limited thereto.

The size of the second vibrating device 138 according to the embodiment of the present specification may be less than half the size of the second region (A2) or more than half the size of the second region (A2) depending on the characteristics of the second vibration sound or the acoustic characteristics required for the device. In other embodiments of the present specification, the size of the second vibrating device 138 may correspond to the second region (A2) of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel. For example, the size of the second vibrating device 138 may be the same as the second region (A2) of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel, or may be smaller than the second region (A2). Therefore, the first and second vibrating devices 137, 138 may have the same size or different sizes depending on the acoustic characteristics of the left and right sides of the device and / or the acoustic characteristics of the device, and the first and second vibrating devices 137, 138 may be arranged in a symmetrical or asymmetrical structure with respect to the midline (CL) of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel.
[0188] Each of the first vibration device 137 and the second vibration device 138 may include one or more of the vibration devices 130 described in FIGS. 3A to 6C and 8A to 9C, so a duplicated description thereof will be omitted.
[0189] Referring to FIG. 11, the first vibration device 137 can include one or more first vibration parts 131-11 and a plurality of second vibration parts 132-11, 132-21. The second vibration device 138 can include one or more first vibration parts 131-12 and a plurality of second vibration parts 132-12, 132-22. In FIG. 11, the first vibration device 137 and the second vibration device 138 are each configured with the vibration device 130 of FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first vibration device 137 and the second vibration device 138 can each include one of FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C, FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C, FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C, FIG. 8A, FIG. 8B, and FIG. 9A to FIG. 9C.
[0190] For example, each of the first vibration device 137 and the second vibration device 138 may include one or more of the vibration devices 130 described in at least one of Figures 3A, 4A, 8A, and 9A. When configured in this way, each of the first vibration device 137 and the second vibration device 138 may realize a sound with an improved low-frequency range. For example, each of the first vibration device 137 and the second vibration device 138 may include one or more of the vibration devices 130 described in at least one of Figures 5A, 6A, 9B, and 9C. When configured in this way, each of the first vibration device 137 and the second vibration device 138 may realize a sound with an improved high-frequency range.
[0191] The connecting member 150 according to the embodiment of the present specification may be disposed between each of the first vibrating device 137 and the second vibrating device 138 and the vibrating member 100 or the rear surface of the display panel. For example, each of the first vibrating device 137 and the second vibrating device 138 may be disposed on the rear surface of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel via the connecting member 150. The connecting member 150 is substantially the same as the connecting member 150 described in FIG. 2, and therefore a duplicated description thereof will be omitted.
[0192] Therefore, devices according to other embodiments of the present specification can provide sound to a user by outputting sound including left side sound and right side sound to the front of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel via the first vibrating device 137 and the second vibrating device 138.
[0193] The vibration device 130 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a plate 101 .
[0194] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the plate 101 may be connected or coupled to a rear surface of the vibrating member 100. For example, when the vibrating member 100 is a light-emitting display panel that is a display panel, the plate 101 may be disposed on the rear surface of an encapsulation part of the light-emitting display panel. The plate 101 may be configured to be disposed on the rear surface of the encapsulation part and bonded thereto. The plate 101 may dissipate heat generated in the display panel. For example, the plate 101 may be represented as a heat dissipation member, a heat dissipation plate, a heat sink, or the like, and is not limited to these terms.
[0195] According to the embodiment of the present specification, the plate 101 can reinforce the mass of the vibration device 130 arranged or suspended on the back surface of the vibration member 100. As a result, the plate 101 can reduce the resonance frequency of the vibration device 130 associated with an increase in the mass of the vibration device 130. Therefore, the plate 101 can improve the acoustic characteristics of the low frequency band and the sound pressure characteristics of the low frequency band that are generated in conjunction with the vibration of the vibration device 130, and can improve the flatness of the acoustic characteristics. Here, the flatness of the acoustic characteristics can be the magnitude of the deviation between the maximum sound pressure and the minimum sound pressure. For example, the plate 101 can be expressed as a weight member, a mass member, or an acoustic flattening member, and is not limited to these terms.
[0196] The plate 101 may have the same shape and size as the vibration member 100 or the display panel, or may have the same shape and size as the vibration device 130. In other embodiments herein, the plate 101 may have a different size than the vibration member 100 or the display panel. In other embodiments herein, the plate 101 may have a different size than the vibration device 130. For example, the plate 101 may be smaller than the size of the vibration member 100 or the display panel. In other embodiments herein, the plate 101 may have a different size than the vibration device 200. For example, the plate 101 may be larger or smaller than the size of the vibration device 130. The vibration device 130 may be the same or smaller than the size of the vibration member 100 or the display panel.
[0197] The plate 101 according to the embodiment of the present specification may be made of a metal material, for example, the plate 101 may be made of one or more materials selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), magnesium (Mg) alloy, magnesium-lithium (Mg-Li) alloy, and aluminum (Al) alloy, but is not limited thereto.
[0198] According to the embodiments of the present specification, the displacement (or bending force) or amplitude displacement (or vibration width) of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel on which the plate 101 is disposed can be reduced as the thickness of the plate 101 increases due to the rigidity of the plate 101. As a result, the low frequency band characteristics and sound pressure characteristics of the sound generated by the displacement (or vibration) of the vibrating member 100 or the display panel can be reduced.
[0199] The plate 101 according to the embodiment of the present specification may be coupled or connected to the vibrating member 100 or the rear surface of the display panel via a connecting member (or a fifth connecting member). The connecting member may be disposed between the vibrating member 100 and the plate 101.
[0200] The connecting member according to the embodiment of the present specification may include an adhesive layer having relatively excellent adhesion or bonding strength to each of the vibrating member 100 or the rear surface of the display panel and the vibrating device 130. For example, the connecting member may include a foam pad, a double-sided tape, or an adhesive. For example, the adhesive layer of the connecting member may include, but is not limited to, epoxy, acrylic, silicone, or urethane. For example, the adhesive layer of the connecting member may be the same or substantially the same as the adhesive layer of the connecting member 150, but is not limited to this. For example, the adhesive layer of the connecting member may include an acrylic-based material (or material) having relatively excellent adhesion and high hardness properties compared to urethane-based materials so that the vibration of the vibrating device 130 is effectively transmitted to the vibrating member 100 or the display panel. In other embodiments of the present specification, the adhesive layer of the connecting member may be configured differently from the adhesive layer of the connecting member 150.
[0201] The plate 101 according to the embodiments of the present specification may be integrated with the vibration device 130 or may be included in the configuration of the vibration device 130. For example, the plate 101 and the vibration device 130 may be configured as one structure or one part (or device) consisting of one main body (or one unitary body). In this way, when the plate 101 is disposed between the rear surface of the vibration member 100 or the display panel and the vibration device 130, the assembly process between the vibration member 100 or the display panel and the vibration device 130 may be facilitated due to the integration (or unification) of the parts between the plate 101 and the vibration device 130.
[0202] In another embodiment of the present specification, when the plate 101 and the vibration device 130 are configured as one structure or one part (or device) consisting of one main body, the non-visible panel can be configured as a vibration plate. The plate 101 and the vibration device 130 can be disposed on the non-visible panel. The plate 101 and the vibration device 130 can be connected or coupled via a connecting member 150. For example, the plate 101 can be or include one or more of metal, wood, rubber, plastic, glass, cloth, fiber, paper, mirror, leather, automotive interior materials, ceilings, and aircraft, and the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. Thus, the non-visible panel can be vibrated to output sound. In another embodiment of the present specification, when the plate 101 and the vibration device 130 are configured as one structure or one part (or device) consisting of one main body, the plate can be configured as a vibration plate. For example, in a module (or assembly) of plate 101 and vibration device 130, plate 101 may be made of any one or more of the following single or composite non-metallic materials, including, but not limited to, wood, rubber, plastic, glass, cloth, paper, fiber, mirror, and leather.
[0203] The plate 101 according to other embodiments of the present specification may include a plurality of openings. The plurality of openings may be configured to have a certain size and a certain interval. For example, the plurality of openings may be formed along the first direction (X) and the second direction (Y) to have a certain size and a certain interval. Each of the plurality of openings allows the sound waves (or sound pressure) caused by the vibration of the vibration device 130 to be concentrated on the vibration member 100 without being dispersed by the plate 101, thereby minimizing the loss of vibration caused by the plate 101, and thus enhancing the sound pressure characteristics of the sound generated by the vibration of the vibration member 100. For example, the plate 101 including the plurality of openings may have a mesh shape. For example, the plate 101 including the plurality of openings may be a mesh plate.
[0204] Since the device according to the embodiment of the present specification is configured with at least two vibration devices 137, 138, sounds including left and right sounds can be provided to the user by vibration of the at least two vibration devices 137, 138.
[0205] In addition, the device according to the embodiment of the present specification further includes the plate 101 disposed on the rear surface of the vibration device 130, thereby reducing the resonance frequency of the vibration device 130. As a result, it is possible to increase the acoustic characteristics of the low frequency range and the sound pressure characteristics of the low frequency range generated by the vibration of the vibration member 100 or the display panel linked to the vibration of the vibration device 130 according to the embodiment of the present specification, thereby improving the flatness of the acoustic characteristics.
[0206] Furthermore, in the device according to the embodiments of the present specification, since at least two or more vibration devices 137, 138 are each composed of a first vibration part and a second vibration part, it is possible to provide a device with improved sound pressure characteristics and / or acoustic characteristics, including the low-frequency range.

The left part of the screen is where subtitles such as news are displayed, so it can be driven to have low treble characteristics. For example, the ninth driving signal (DS9) can be applied to the 2-1 vibration unit 132-1, and the tenth driving signal (DS10) can be applied to the 2-2 vibration unit 132-2. The left part of the screen is where subtitles such as news are displayed, so it can be driven to have low treble characteristics. The fifth driving signal (DS5) can be applied to the 1-5 vibration unit 131-5, and the sixth driving signal (DS6) can be applied to the 1-6 vibration unit 131-6. The left part of the screen is where subtitles such as news are displayed, so it can be driven to have low treble characteristics.
[0211] For example, the third driving signal (DS3) is applied to the 1-3 vibration unit 131-3, and the fourth driving signal (DS4) is applied to the 1-4 vibration unit 131-4. The right side of the screen can be driven to have high treble characteristics because the announcer will be explaining the news, etc. The eleventh driving signal (DS11) can be applied to the 2-3 vibration unit 132-3, and the twelfth driving signal (DS12) can be applied to the 2-4 vibration unit 132-4. The right side of the screen can be driven to have high treble characteristics because the announcer will be explaining the news, etc. The seventh driving signal (DS7) can be applied to the 1-7 vibration unit 131-7, and the eighth driving signal (DS8) can be applied to the 1-8 vibration unit 131-8.

[0298] The acoustic output characteristics can be measured by an acoustic measurement device. The acoustic measurement device can be composed of a control PC, a sound card for transmitting and receiving sound, an amplifier for amplifying and transmitting the sound generated from the sound card to the vibration device, and a microphone for collecting the sound generated from the display panel through the vibration device. For example, the microphone can be placed at the center of the vibration device, and the distance between the display panel and the microphone can be 30 cm. The microphone can be placed perpendicular to the vibration device to measure the sound. The sound collected by the microphone is input to the control PC through the sound card, and the sound is checked by a control program to analyze the sound of the vibration device. For example, the frequency response characteristics in the frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz can be measured using a pulse program. The measurement can be performed by applying 1 / 3 octave smoothing to a sine sweep from 0.15kHz to 20kHz.
[0299] In FIG. 19, the horizontal axis represents frequency (in hertz) (Hz), and the vertical axis represents sound pressure level (SPL (in decibels) (dB). FIG. 19 shows the acoustic output characteristics of a single crystal.

Referring to Fig. 20, it can be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 1 kHz is approximately 63.3 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 1 kHz to 10 kHz is approximately 69.5 dB. It can also be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 10 kHz to 20 kHz is approximately 80.3 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 20 kHz is approximately 67.5 dB. It can be seen that the sound pressure characteristics are increased compared to Fig. 19 which shows the single crystal.
[0304] FIG. 21 illustrates the acoustic output characteristics of a device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0305] The method for measuring the acoustic output characteristics is the same or substantially the same as that described with reference to FIG. 19, and therefore will not be described here.
[0306] In FIG. 21, the solid line represents the acoustic output characteristics of the vibration device of FIGS. 3A to 3C, and the dotted line represents the acoustic output characteristics of the polycrystal.
[0307] Referring to FIG. 21, it can be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 1 kHz, which is the solid line, is about 67.5 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 1 kHz to 10 kHz is about 73.9 dB. It can also be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 10 kHz to 20 kHz is about 80.7 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 20 kHz is about 74.2 dB. As explained in FIG. 20, which is the dotted line, it can be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 1 kHz is about 63.3 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 1 kHz to 10 kHz is about 69.5 dB. It can also be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 10 kHz to 20 kHz is about 80.3 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 20 kHz is about 67.5 dB. Therefore, it can be seen that the average sound pressure increases by about 7 dB or more when composed of single crystals and polycrystals according to the embodiments of this specification compared to polycrystals. It can also be seen that the sound pressure increases from the low to mid range without any loss of sound pressure in the high range of 8 kHz or more. The bass band may be 500 Hz or less, and the mid-range band may be 500 Hz to 8 kHz or less, but is not limited thereto.
[0308] FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating the acoustic output characteristics of a device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0309] The method for measuring the acoustic output characteristics is the same or substantially the same as that described with reference to FIG. 19, and therefore will not be described here.

It can also be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 10 kHz to 20 kHz is about 84.6 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 20 kHz is about 77.9 dB. It can also be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 1 kHz, indicated by the dotted line, is about 72.6 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 1 kHz to 10 kHz is about 72.3 dB. It can also be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 10 kHz to 20 kHz is about 92.1 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 20 kHz is about 72.4 dB. It can therefore be seen that as the size (or area) of the first vibrating part 131, which is polycrystalline, increases, the average sound pressure increases by about 6 dB or more. According to the embodiment of the present specification, the first vibrating part 131 has a vertical (d 33 It can be seen that the larger the area of the first vibrating portion 131 is, the more the vibration characteristics can be improved, and therefore the larger the area of the first vibrating portion 131 is, the more the vibration characteristics can be improved, and therefore the sound pressure characteristics can be further improved.
[0312] FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating the acoustic output characteristics of a device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0313] The method for measuring the acoustic output characteristics is the same or substantially the same as that described with reference to FIG. 19, and therefore will not be described here.
[0314] FIG. 23 shows the acoustic output characteristics depending on the interval between the single crystals. For example, in FIG. 5A and FIG. 6A, the acoustic output characteristics depending on the interval between the second vibrating parts 132-1 and 132-2. In FIG. 23, the dotted line indicates that the interval between the single crystals is 0 cm, the dashed line indicates that the interval between the single crystals is 4 cm, and the solid line indicates that the interval between the single crystals is 8 cm. It can be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 1 kHz of the dotted line is about 46.8 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 1 kHz to 10 kHz is about 58.0 dB. It can also be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 10 kHz to 20 kHz is about 68.5 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 20 kHz is about 55.6 dB. It can also be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies of 0.2 kHz to 1 kHz of the dashed line is about 55.3 dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies of 1 kHz to 10 kHz is about 61.3 dB. It can be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies between 10kHz and 20kHz is approximately 66.7dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies between 0.2kHz and 20kHz is approximately 60.0dB. It can also be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies between 0.2kHz and 1kHz, which is the solid line, is approximately 47.5dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies between 1kHz and 10kHz is approximately 57.9dB. It can also be seen that the sound pressure at frequencies between 10kHz and 20kHz is approximately 65.3dB, and the sound pressure at frequencies between 0.2kHz and 20kHz is approximately 55.4dB.
[0315] The single crystals according to the examples of this specification having a (011) crystal orientation have a d 32 Since the crystal vibrates in a vibration mode (or XY axis vibration), the aspect ratio can affect the vibration characteristics. A single crystal with a (011) crystal orientation has a d 33 Since there is also a vibration mode (Z-axis vibration), if the aspect ratio and vibration interference on the single crystal are configured to be small, d 32 The vibration mode (or XY axis vibration) becomes the dominant vibration mode, and the sound pressure in the low frequency range can be improved.
[0316] In the case of 0 cm where there is no gap between the single crystals with (011) crystal orientation, the single crystals operate as one, so the aspect ratio is reduced, resulting in d 33It can be seen that the vibration mode (Z-axis vibration) becomes dominant and the sound pressure in the high frequency range, for example, 10 kHz to 20 kHz, increases, but the sound pressure in the low frequency range, for example, 0.2 kHz to 1 kHz, decreases.
[0317] When the spacing between single crystals with (011) crystal orientation is 4 cm, the d 33 Without interfering with the vibration mode (Z-axis vibration) 32 It can be seen that since it has the effect of reinforcing the vibration mode (or XY axis vibration), the sound pressure in the low frequency range, for example 0.2 kHz to 1 kHz, increases, and the sound pressure in the mid frequency range, for example 1 kHz to 10 kHz, increases.
[0318] When the distance between single crystals with (011) crystal orientation is 8 cm, the d 32 It can be seen that the effect of reinforcing the vibration mode (or XY axis vibration) becomes smaller, so that the sound pressure decreases from the low to high frequency ranges.
