[0132] According to the embodiment of the present specification, when the first vibrating device 510 vibrates according to the first driving signal, the vibration of the first area (A1) of the first cover 400 due to the vibration of the first vibrating device 510 can generate sound pressure inside the 1-1 hole 411-1.

The vibration of the backlight 230 due to this sound pressure generates sound pressure in the sound transmission space (STS), and the vibration of the second part (P2) of the display panel 210 due to the sound pressure generated in the sound transmission space (STS) can output a second sound (S2) in a second sound range to the front (FD) of the display panel 210 or generate a second haptic feedback. For example, the sound wave generated by the vibration of the second vibrating device 530 can be transmitted (or propagated) to the display member 200 via the 1-2 hole 411-2, thereby improving the sound pressure characteristics and / or sound quality of the second sound (S2). According to an embodiment of the present specification, the sound waves generated by the vibration of the second vibrating device 530 can be directly transmitted (or propagated) to the display member 200 through the 1-2 hole 411-2, thereby improving the sound pressure characteristics and / or sound quality of the second sound (S2).

According to an embodiment of the present specification, the vibration generator (or the second vibration generator) 533 of the 2-1 vibration device 530-1 may be disposed on the rear surface of the second plate 531. For example, the vibration generator (or the second vibration generator) 533 of the 2-1 vibration device 530-1 may be disposed on the back surface of the second plate 531 via the 7-2 connection member 537. For example, the vibration generator (or the second vibration generator) 533 of the 2-1 vibration device 530-1 may overlap the 1-2 hole 411-2 of the back surface portion 410.

[0144] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the second cover 700 may be disposed on the rear surface of the first cover 400. The second cover 700 may house (or accommodate) the display member 200 on which one or more vibration devices 500 are disposed (or coupled), and may cover the rear surface of the first cover 400, the side surface of the first cover 400, and the side surface of the display member 200. For example, the second cover 700 may be expressed as a set cover, a rear set cover, an outermost cover, an outermost set cover, a product cover, an outermost product cover, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0145] The second cover 700 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include a rear structure 710 and a side structure 730. The rear structure 710 may be an outermost rear structure located on the rear side of the device.

For example, the cover box 750 may entirely house (or accommodate) the vibration device 500, and may be embodied in the rear structure 710 to entirely cover the vibration device 500.

[0148] For example, the cover box 750 can improve the characteristics of the sound generated by the vibration device 500 by providing an enclosed space between the rear part 410 of the first cover 400 and the rear structure 710. For example, the enclosed space provided by the cover box 750 can be used as a space for a resonance effect, and the sound pressure generated by the vibration device 500 can be amplified by the resonance effect inside the cover box 750.

[0149] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the device may include a first member 600. For example, the first member 600 may be disposed on the rear surface of the first cover 400. For example, the first member 600 may be disposed on the rear surface of the first cover 400 via the eighth connecting member 650. For example, the first member 600 may be disposed between the first cover 400 and the second cover 700. For example, the first member 600 may be disposed so as to cover the entire vibrating device 500. For example, the first member 600 may cover the first hole 411 disposed in the first cover 400. For example, the first member 600 may acoustically seal or separate the space in which the vibrating device 500 is disposed. For example, the first member 600 may acoustically seal or separate the space in which the first vibrating device 510 is disposed and the space in which the second vibrating device 530 is disposed. The first member 600 can prevent or reduce the deterioration of acoustic characteristics by preventing or reducing interference between the sound generated in the space in which the first vibrating device 510 is arranged and the sound generated in the space in which the second vibrating device 530 is arranged. The first member 600 can be expressed as an enclosure, a rear enclosure, a vibration module box, a vibration module cover, a vibration box, an acoustic box, etc., but is not limited thereto. For example, the first member 600 can be a module frame member or a second member, but can be used in a mixed manner. However, is not limited thereto.

[0150] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the eighth connecting member 650 may include a double-sided tape or a double-sided foam tape having an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer of the eighth connecting member 650 according to an embodiment of the present specification may include an acrylic or urethane adhesive material.

[0151] The first member 600 can include a 1-1 member 610 and a 1-2 member 630. The 1-1 member 610 and the 1-2 member 630 can be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400. The 1-1 member 610 in the embodiment of the present specification can be the first member (first enclosure member), and the 1-2 member 630 in the embodiment of the present specification can be the second member (second enclosure member), but this number does not limit the contents of the present specification.

[0152] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 1-1 member 610 may be disposed in the first area (A1) of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400, for example, the 1-1 member 610 may cover the first vibration device 510. For example, the 1-1 member 610 may cover the 1-1 hole 411-1 disposed in the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400.

[0153] The 1-1 member 610 according to the embodiment of the present specification may have a square shape covering the first vibration device 510, but is not limited thereto. For example, the 1-1 member 610 may have a shape that is the same as or different from the shape of the first vibration device 510. For example, when the first vibration device 510 has a square shape, the 1-1 member 610 may have a square shape having a relatively larger size (or larger width) than the first vibration device 510, or may have a circular or elliptical shape. However, the embodiment of the present specification is not limited to such an example.

[0154] The 1-1 member 610 can limit (or define) the vibration area (or vibration surface area) of the display member 200 caused by the first vibrating device 510. For example, in the first part (P1) of the display member 200, as the size of the 1-1 member 610 increases, the vibration area of ​​the first part (P1) increases, and the characteristics of the low frequency range of the left sound can be improved. As another embodiment of the present specification, in the first part (P1) of the display member 200, as the size of the 1-1 member 610 decreases, the vibration area of ​​the first part (P1) decreases, and the characteristics of the high frequency range of the left sound can be improved. Therefore, the size of the 1-1 member 610 can be set according to the characteristics of the desired frequency range by the vibration of the display member 200 caused by the vibration of the first vibrating device 510.

[0155] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 1-2 member 630 may be disposed in the second area (A2) of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the 1-2 member 630 may cover the second vibrating device 530. For example, the 1-2 member 630 may cover the 1-2 hole 411-2 disposed in the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400.

[0156] The 1-2 member 630 according to the embodiment of the present specification may have a square shape covering the second vibration device 530, but is not limited thereto. For example, the 1-2 member 630 may have a shape that is the same as or different from the shape of the second vibration device 530. For example, when the second vibration device 530 has a square shape, the 1-2 member 630 may have a square shape having a relatively larger size (or larger width) than the second vibration device 530, or may have a circular or elliptical shape. However, the embodiment of the present specification is not limited to such an example.

[0157] The 1-2 member 630 according to the embodiment of the present specification may have the same shape as the 1-1 member 610 for symmetry between the left and right sides, and may have a symmetrical structure to the 1-1 member 610 based on the first middle line (CL1) of the display member 200.

[0158] The 1-2 member 630 can limit (or define) the vibration area (or vibration surface area) of the display member 200 by the second vibrating device 530. For example, in the second part (P2) of the display member 200, the larger the size of the 1-2 member 630, the larger the vibration area of ​​the second part (P2) and the lower frequency range characteristics of the right sound can be improved. In another embodiment of the present specification, in the second part (P2) of the display member 200, the smaller the size of the 1-2 member 630, the smaller the vibration area of ​​the second part (P2) and the higher frequency range characteristics of the right sound can be improved. Therefore, the size of the 1-2 member 630 can be set according to the characteristics of the desired frequency range by the vibration of the display member 200 by the vibration of the second vibrating device 530.

[0159] By limiting the vibration region (or vibration area) of the first vibrating device 510 and the second vibrating device 530, the 1-1 member 610 and the 1-2 member 630 can improve the left-right symmetry of the left and right sounds generated by the vibration of the display member 200, and optimize the sound pressure characteristics and / or the reproduction range of the respective left and right sounds.

[0160] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the plates 511, 531, the vibration generators 513, 533, and the first members 610, 630 can configure a vibration generating device. For example, the first plate 511, the first vibration generator 513, and the 1-1 member 610 can configure a first vibration generating device. For example, the second plate 531, the second vibration generator 533, and the 1-2 member 630 can configure a second vibration generating device.

[0161] According to the embodiment of the present specification, by configuring the first member 600, it is possible to control the air impedance of the vibration device 500, and therefore it is possible to provide a device capable of expanding the sound range. Furthermore, the device according to the embodiment of the present specification includes a film-type vibration device, and therefore it is possible to provide a device having improved sound pressure characteristics and / or acoustic characteristics including the high-frequency range, and it is possible to provide a device having a slim structure, since the thickness of the device can be reduced.

[0162] FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion 'B' shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a portion 'C' shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the plates 511, 531 may have a second thickness (T2) that is thinner than the first thickness (T1) of the rear part 410. This can improve the sound pressure characteristics and / or sound quality of the first and second vibrating devices 510, 530 in the mid-high range (S). If the second thickness (T2) of the plates 511, 531 is thicker than the first thickness (T1) of the rear part 410, it may be difficult for the vibration of the vibration generators 513, 533 to propagate to the inside of the first holes 411-1, 411-2 of the rear part 410 of the first cover 400. The plates 511, 531 vibrate due to the vibration of the vibration generators 513, 533, and can generate sound (or sound pressure) in the mid-to-high frequency range of 3 kHz or more, which can be propagated inside the first holes 411-1, 411-2.

[0163] According to the embodiment of the present specification, the 1-1 member 610 can independently cover the first vibration device 510 (the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 in FIG. 5) and can cover the 1-1 hole 411-1 arranged in the rear part 410 of the first cover 400. This allows a first air gap (AG1) to be provided inside the 1-1 member 610. For example, the inside of the 1-2 member 630 can include a single space, or can include a space divided into two or more. When the 1-2 member 630 includes two or more divided spaces, the internal space of the device can be utilized. When the 1-2 member 630 includes two or more divided spaces, the two or more spaces can be connected to each other via a pipe. For example, the 1-2 member 630 can be a sealed structure or a structure having an air hole (e.g., a vent structure).

[0164] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 1-1 member 610 may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the 1-1 member 610 may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 via the 8-1 connecting member 651.

[0165] The 1-1 member 610 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include a bottom 611 and a side 613. According to the embodiment of the present specification, the bottom 611 of the 1-1 member 610 may be disposed on the rear surface of the first vibrating device 510 (the 1-1 vibrating device 510-1 in FIG. 5) and cover the rear surface of the first vibrating device 510. For example, the side 613 of the 1-1 member 610 may be disposed on the side surface of the first vibrating device 510 and cover the side surface of the first vibrating device 510. For example, the side 613 may be connected to one side (or end) of the bottom 611 and may be disposed along the edge of the bottom 611. For example, one side (or end) of the side 613 may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 via the 8-1 connecting member 651. For example, the bottom 611 of the 1-1 member 610 may be expressed as a first bottom frame or a first bottom member, but is not limited thereto. For example, the side portion 613 of the 1-1 member 610 may be expressed as a side wall portion, a first side frame, a first side wall frame, a first side wall member, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0166] The 1-1 member 610 can limit (or define) the vibration area (or vibration surface area) of the display member 200 caused by the first vibrating device 510. For example, in the first part (P1) of the display member 200, as the size of the 1-1 member 610 increases, the vibration area of ​​the first part (P1) increases, and the characteristics of the low frequency range of the left sound can be improved. As another embodiment of the present specification, in the first part (P1) of the display member 200, as the size of the 1-1 member 610 decreases, the vibration area of ​​the first part (P1) decreases, and the characteristics of the high frequency range of the left sound can be improved. For example, the size of the 1-1 member 610 can be set according to the characteristics of the frequency range required by the vibration of the display member 200 caused by the vibration of the first vibrating device 510.

[0167] According to the embodiment of the present specification, the 1-2 member 630 can independently cover the second vibration device 530 (the 2-1 vibration device 530-1 in FIG. 6) and can cover the 1-2 hole 411-2 arranged on the rear part 410 of the first cover 400. This allows a second air gap (AG2) to be provided inside the 1-2 member 630. For example, the inside of the 1-2 member 630 can include a single space, or can include a space divided into two or more. When the 1-2 member 630 includes two or more divided spaces, the internal space of the device can be utilized. When the 1-2 member 630 includes two or more divided spaces, the two or more spaces can be connected to each other via a pipe. For example, the 1-2 member 630 can be a sealed structure or a structure having an air hole (e.g., a vent structure).

[0168] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 1-2 member 630 may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the 1-2 member 630 may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 via the 8-2 connecting member 653. The 8-1 connecting member 651 in the embodiment of the present specification may be the 10th connecting member, and the 8-2 connecting member 653 in the embodiment of the present specification may be the 11th connecting member, but this number is not intended to limit the contents of the present specification.

[0169] The 1-2 member 630 according to the embodiments of the present specification may have the same shape as the 1-1 member 610 due to symmetry between the left and right sides, and may have a symmetrical structure to the 1-1 member 610 based on the first intermediate line (CL1) of the display member 200.

[0170] The 1-2 member 630 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include a bottom portion 631 and a side portion 633. According to the embodiment of the present specification, the bottom portion 631 of the 1-2 member 630 may be disposed on the rear surface of the second vibrating device 530 and cover the rear surface of the second vibrating device 530 (the 2-1st vibrating device 530-1 in FIG. 6). For example, the side portion 633 of the 1-2 member 630 may be disposed on a side surface of the second vibrating device 530 and cover the rear surface of the second vibrating device 530. For example, the side portion 633 may be connected to one side (or end) of the bottom portion 631 and may be disposed along an edge of the bottom portion 631. For example, one side (or end) of the side portion 633 may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 via the 8-2nd connecting member 653. For example, the bottom portion 631 of the 1-2 member 630 may be expressed as a second bottom frame or a second bottom member, but is not limited thereto. For example, the side portion 633 of the 1-2 member 630 may be expressed as a side wall portion, a second side frame, a second side wall frame, a second side wall member, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0171] The 1-2 member 630 can limit (or define) the vibration area (or vibration surface area) of the display member 200 by the second vibrating device 530 (the 2-1 vibrating device 530-1 in FIG. 6). For example, in the second part (P2) of the display member 200, as the size of the 1-2 member 630 increases, the vibration area of ​​the second part (P2) increases, and the characteristics of the low frequency range of the right sound can be improved. In another embodiment of the present specification, in the second part (P2) of the display member 200, as the size of the 1-2 member 630 decreases, the vibration area of ​​the second part (P2) decreases, and the characteristics of the high frequency range of the right sound can be improved. For example, the size of the 1-2 member 630 can be set according to the characteristics of the desired frequency range by the vibration of the display member 200 due to the vibration of the second vibrating device 530.

[0172] By limiting the vibration region (or vibration area) of the first vibrating device 510 and the second vibrating device 530, the 1-1 member 610 and the 1-2 member 630 can improve the left-right symmetry of the left and right sounds generated by the vibration of the display member 200, and can optimize the sound pressure characteristics and the reproduction range of the left and right sounds.

[0173] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the plates 511, 531, the vibration generators 513, 533, and the first members 610, 630 can configure a vibration generating device. For example, the first plate 511, the first vibration generator 513, and the 1-1 member 610 can configure a first vibration generating device. For example, the second plate 531, the second vibration generator 533, and the 1-2 member 630 can configure a second vibration generating device.

[0174] Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a vibration generator according to an embodiment of the present specification, and Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II' shown in Fig. 7.

[0175] 7 and 8, the vibration generators 513 and 533 according to the embodiments of the present specification can vibrate by alternately repeating contraction and expansion due to a piezoelectric effect (or piezoelectric characteristics). For example, the vibration generators 513 and 533 can vibrate in the thickness direction (Z) by alternately repeating contraction and expansion due to an inverse piezoelectric effect, thereby vibrating the display member 200. For example, the vibration generators 513 and 533 can have a quadrangular or square shape, but are not limited thereto.

[0176] Each of the vibration generators 513 and 533 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include a vibration part (or vibration layer) (PCL), a first electrode layer (E1), and a second electrode layer (E2). For example, a structure including the vibration part (or vibration layer) (PCL), the first electrode layer (E1), and the second electrode layer (E2) may be expressed by the term vibration element (PCM), but is not limited thereto.

[0177] The vibrating section (PCL) may include a piezoelectric material, a composite piezoelectric material, or an electroactive material that includes a piezoelectric effect.

[0180] The second electrode layer (E2) may be disposed on a second surface (or back surface or bottom surface) opposite to the first surface of the vibrating part (PCL) and may be electrically connected to the second surface of the vibrating part (PCL). For example, the second electrode layer (E2) may have a single electrode shape (or a common electrode or a single electrode) disposed over the entire second surface of the vibrating part (PCL). The second electrode layer (E2) according to the embodiment of the present specification may be made of a transparent conductive material, a semi-transparent conductive material, or an opaque conductive material. For example, the second electrode layer (E2) may be made of the same material as the first electrode layer (E1), but is not limited thereto. In another embodiment of the present specification, the second electrode layer (E2) may be made of a material different from that of the first electrode layer (E1).

[0181] The vibration part (PCL) may be polarized (or subjected to poling treatment) by a constant voltage applied to the first electrode layer (E1) and the second electrode layer (E2) in a constant temperature atmosphere or a temperature atmosphere changing from high temperature to room temperature, but is not limited thereto.

[0182] The vibration generator 513, 533 according to the embodiments of the present specification may further include a first protective member 501 and a second protective member 502.

[0183] The first protective member 501 may be disposed on the first surface of the vibration element (PCM). For example, the first protective member 501 may cover the first electrode layer (E1) disposed on the first surface of the vibration element (PCM). This allows the first protective member 501 to support the first surface of the vibration element (PCM) and to protect the first surface or the first electrode layer (E1) of the vibration element (PCM).

[0184] The first protective member 501 according to the embodiment of the present specification may be disposed on the first surface of the vibration element (PCM) via the first adhesive layer 503. For example, the first protective member 501 may be coupled or attached to the first surface of the vibration element (PCM) by a film lamination process using the first adhesive layer 503 as an intermediary.

[0185] The second protective member 502 may be disposed on the second surface of the vibration element (PCM). For example, the second protective member 502 may cover the second electrode layer (E2) disposed on the second surface of the vibration element (PCM). This allows the second protective member 502 to support the second surface of the vibration element (PCM) and to protect the second surface or the second electrode layer (E2) of the vibration element (PCM).

[0186] The second protective member 502 according to the embodiment of the present specification may be disposed on the second surface of the vibration element (PCM) via the second adhesive layer 504. For example, the second protective member 502 may be coupled or attached to the second surface of the vibration element (PCM) by a film lamination process using the second adhesive layer 504 as an intermediary.

[0187] Each of the first protective member 501 and the second protective member 502 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include a plastic film. For example, each of the first protective member 501 and the second protective member 502 may be, but is not limited to, a polyimide film, a polyethylene terephthalate film, or a polyethylene naphthalate film.

[0188] The first adhesive layer 503 may be disposed on the first surface of the vibration element (PCM). For example, the first adhesive layer 503 may be formed on the rear surface (or inner surface) of the first protective member 501 that faces the first surface of the vibration element (PCM) and disposed on the first surface of the vibration element (PCM).

[0189] The second adhesive layer 504 may be disposed on the second surface of the vibration element (PCM). For example, the second adhesive layer 504 may be formed on a front surface (or an inner surface) of the second protective member 502 that faces the second surface of the vibration element (PCM) and disposed on the second surface of the vibration element (PCM).

[0190] The vibration element (PCM) may be surrounded by the first adhesive layer 503 and the second adhesive layer 504. For example, the first adhesive layer 503 and the second adhesive layer 504 may completely surround the entire vibration element (PCM). For example, the first adhesive layer 503 and the second adhesive layer 504 may be expressed as a cover member or the like, but are not limited thereto. When the first adhesive layer 503 and the second adhesive layer 504 are collectively a cover member to form a cover member, the first protective member 501 may be disposed on a first surface of the cover member, and the second protective member 502 may be disposed on a second surface of the cover member. For example, the first adhesive layer 503 and the second adhesive layer 504 are shown as the first adhesive layer 503 and the second adhesive layer 504 for convenience of explanation, but are not limited thereto, and may be disposed as one adhesive layer.

[0191] Each of the first adhesive layer 503 and the second adhesive layer 504 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include an electrically insulating material that has adhesiveness and is compressible and resilient. For example, each of the first adhesive layer 503 and the second adhesive layer 504 may include, but is not limited to, an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, a silicone resin, or a urethane resin.

[0192] The vibration generator 513, 533 according to the embodiment of the present specification may further include a first power supply line (PL1), a second power supply line (PL2), and a pad unit 505.

[0193] The first power supply line (PL1) may be disposed on the first protective member 501. For example, the first power supply line (PL1) may be disposed on a rear surface of the first protective member 501 facing the first surface of the vibration element (PCM). The first power supply line (PL1) may be electrically connected to each first electrode layer (E1) of the vibration element (PCM). For example, the first power supply line (PL1) may be directly electrically connected to the first electrode layer (E1) of the vibration element (PCM). For example, the first power supply line (PL1) may be electrically connected to the first electrode layer (E1) of the vibration element (PCM) via an anisotropic conductive film. As another example of the present specification, the first power supply line (PL1) may be electrically connected to the first electrode layer (E1) of the vibration element (PCM) via a conductive material (or particles) contained in the first adhesive layer 503.

[0194] The second power supply line (PL2) may be disposed on the second protective member 502. For example, the second power supply line (PL2) may be disposed on a front surface of the second protective member 502 facing the second surface of the vibration element (PCM). The second power supply line (PL2) may be electrically connected to the second electrode layer (E2) of the vibration element (PCM). For example, the second power supply line (PL2) may be directly electrically connected to the second electrode layer (E2) of the vibration element (PCM). For example, the second power supply line (PL2) may be electrically connected to the second electrode layer (E2) of the vibration element (PCM) via an anisotropic conductive film. As another example of the present specification, the second power supply line (PL2) may be electrically connected to the second electrode layer (E2) of the vibration element (PCM) via a conductive material (or particles) contained in the second adhesive layer 504.

[0195] The pad unit 505 may be electrically connected to each of the first power supply line (PL1) and the second power supply line (PL2). For example, the pad unit 505 may be disposed on the vibration generators 513, 533 so as to be electrically connected to one side (or one end) of each of the first power supply line (PL1) and the second power supply line (PL2). The pad unit 505 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include a first pad electrode and a second pad electrode. The first pad electrode may be electrically connected to one side of the first power supply line (PL1). The second pad electrode may be electrically connected to one side of the second power supply line (PL2).

[0196] The vibration generator 513, 533 according to the embodiment of the present specification may further include a flexible cable 506. The flexible cable 506 is electrically connected to the pad portion 505 arranged on the vibration generator 513, 533, and may supply a vibration drive signal (or an acoustic signal) provided from the acoustic processing circuit to the vibration element (PCM). The flexible cable 506 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal may be electrically connected to a first pad electrode of the pad portion 505. The second terminal may be electrically connected to a second pad electrode of the pad portion 505. For example, the flexible cable 506 may be, but is not limited to, a flexible printed circuit cable or a flexible flat cable.

[0197] For example, the acoustic processing circuit (or the vibration drive circuit) can generate an AC drive signal including a drive signal of a first polarity and a drive signal of a second polarity based on an acoustic source. The drive signal of the first polarity can be either a drive signal of a positive polarity (+) or a drive signal of a negative polarity (-), and the drive signal of the second polarity can be either a drive signal of a positive polarity (+) or a drive signal of a negative polarity (-). For example, the drive signal of the first polarity can be supplied to the first electrode layer (E1) of the vibration generators 513, 533 via the first terminal of the flexible cable 506, the first pad electrode of the pad section 505, and the first power supply line (PL1). The drive signal of the second polarity can be supplied to the second electrode layer (E2) of the vibration generators 513, 533 via the second terminal of the flexible cable 506, the second pad electrode of the pad section 505, and the second power supply line (PL2).

[0198] 9A to 9F are diagrams showing a vibration part of a vibration generator according to an embodiment of the present specification. The vibration part (PCL) according to an embodiment of the present specification can include a plurality of first parts (PCLa) and a plurality of second parts (PCLb) between the plurality of first parts (PCLa). The first parts (PCLa) can include an inorganic material, and the second parts (PCLb) can include an organic material. Since the first parts (PCLa) and the second parts (PCLb) are connected to each other on a plane, the first vibration device 510 and the second vibration device 530 can be realized by one film. In this configuration, compared to a structure in which a plurality of piezoelectric bodies are stacked, it is possible to realize the first and second vibration devices 510 and 530 with a small thickness because they can be realized by one film. This can reduce an increase in the thickness of the device caused by the arrangement of the first and second vibration devices 510 and 530.

[0199] Each of the first portions (PCLa) according to the embodiments of the present specification may include an inorganic material or a piezoelectric material that vibrates due to a piezoelectric effect (or piezoelectric properties) caused by an electric field. For example, each of the first portions (PCLa) may be expressed as an electroactive part, an inorganic material part, a piezoelectric material part, or a vibration part, but is not limited thereto.

[0200] According to an embodiment of the present specification, each of the plurality of first portions (PCLa) may be made of a ceramic-based material capable of realizing a relatively high vibration, or may be made of a piezoelectric ceramic having a perovskite-based crystal structure. The perovskite crystal structure may have piezoelectric and inverse piezoelectric effects and may have orientation. The perovskite crystal structure may be represented by a chemical formula of ABO3, where A is a divalent metal element and B is a tetravalent metal element. As an embodiment of the present specification, in the chemical formula of ABO3, A and B may be cations, while O may be an anion. For example, the chemical formula of ABO3 may include at least one of PbTiO3, PbZrO3, BaTiO3, and SrTiO3, but is not limited thereto.

[0201] In the case of PbTiO3, the position of the central ion, for example, Ti ion, fluctuates due to external stress or magnetic field, and the polarization of the perovskite crystal structure changes, which can generate a piezoelectric effect. For example, the perovskite crystal structure can change from a symmetric cubic shape to an unsymmetric tetragonal, orthorhombic, or rhombohedral shape due to external stress or magnetic field, which can generate a piezoelectric effect. The morphotropic phase boundary of the tetragonal and rhombohedral structures has high polarization and is easy to rearrange, so it can have high piezoelectric properties.

[0202] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the inorganic material of each of the first portions (PCLa) may include, but is not limited to, one or more of lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), titanium (Ti), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), niobium (Nb), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), and indium (In). As another example, the inorganic material of each of the first portions (PCLa) 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 zirconate nikel niobate)-based material including lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), nickel (Ni), and niobium (Nb). According to other embodiments of the present specification, the materials may include, but are not limited to, PMN (lead magnesium niobate)-based materials, PNN (lead nickel niobate)-based materials, PZN (lead zirconate niobate)-based materials, or PIN (lead indium niobate)-based materials. PMN-based materials may include lead (Pb), magnesium (Mg), and niobium (Nb), and may be, for example, Pb(Mg,Nb)O3. PNN-based materials may include lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and niobium (Nb), and may be, for example, Pb(Ni,Nb)O3. PIN-based materials may include lead (Pb), indium (In), and niobium (Nb), and may be, for example, Pb(In,Nb)O3. According to other embodiments herein, the inorganic material may include, but is not limited to, at least one or more of lead (Pb)-free CaTiO3, BaTiO3, and SrTiO3.

[0203] Each of the second parts (PCLb) according to the embodiments of the present specification has a low modulus (or Young's modulus) and viscoelasticity compared to the first part (PCLa), and therefore the reliability of the first part (PCLa) which is vulnerable to impact due to its brittle characteristics can be improved. For example, in order for the first vibration device 510 and the second vibration device 530 to have impact resistance and high rigidity, each of the second parts (PCLb) may be made of a material having a relatively high damping factor (tan δ) and a relatively high stiffness characteristic. For example, each of the second parts (PCLb) may be made of a material having a damping factor (tan δ) of 0.1 to 1 GPa (gigapascals) and a stiffness characteristic of 0 to 10 GPa (gigapascals). The damping vector (tan δ) and stiffness characteristics can also be explained by the correlation between loss factor and modulus, and each of the multiple second portions (PCLb) can be composed of a material having a loss factor of 0.01 to 1 and a modulus of 0.1 to 10 GPa (gigapascals).

[0204] The organic material portion of each of the second portions (PCLb) may be made of an organic material or an organic polymer having a more flexible property than the inorganic material portion of the first portion (PCLa). For example, each of the second portions (PCLb) may include an organic material, an organic polymer, an organic piezoelectric material, or an organic non-piezoelectric material. For example, each of the second portions (PCLb) may be expressed as an adhesive portion, an elastic portion, a bending portion, a damping portion, or a soft portion having flexibility, but is not limited thereto.

[0205] The organic material according to the embodiment of the present specification may include at least one of an organic piezoelectric material and an organic non-piezoelectric material. The organic material including the organic piezoelectric material can absorb the impact applied to the inorganic material (or the first portion (PCLa)), thereby improving the overall durability of the first vibration device 510 and the second vibration device 530 and providing a certain level of piezoelectric properties. The organic piezoelectric material according to the embodiment of the present specification may be an organic material having electroactive properties. The organic material including the organic non-piezoelectric material can absorb the impact applied to the inorganic material (or the first portion (PCLa)) by being composed of a curable resin composition and an adhesive including the same, thereby improving the overall durability of the first vibration device 510 and the second vibration device 530. The organic non-piezoelectric material according to the embodiment of the present specification may include at least one of an epoxy-based polymer, an acrylic-based polymer, and a silicone-based polymer, but is not limited thereto.

[0206] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the organic material including the organic non-piezoelectric material may include an epoxy resin for the high rigidity characteristics required for the first vibration device 510 and the second vibration device 530, and an adhesion promoter for adhesion with the inorganic material. For example, the adhesion promoter may be a phosphate-based agent. The organic material may be cured by at least one of a thermal curing method and a photocuring method. In order to prevent the thickness uniformity of the first vibration device 510 and the second vibration device 530 from being reduced due to shrinkage of the organic material caused by volatilization of the solvent during curing of the organic material, a solvent-free type epoxy resin may be used.

[0207] In addition, the organic material including the organic non-piezoelectric material may further include a reinforcing agent for damping properties in addition to high rigidity of the first vibrating device 510 and the second vibrating device 530. For example, the reinforcing agent may be a core shell type MBS (Methylmethacrylate-Butadiene-Styrene), and the content of the reinforcing agent may be 5 to 40 wt%. For example, the reinforcing agent is a core shell type elastic body, and the shell part has a high bonding force with an epoxy resin such as an acrylic polymer, thereby improving the impact resistance or damping properties of the first vibrating device 510 and the second vibrating device 530.

[0208] In the vibration part (PCL) according to the embodiments of the present specification, the multiple first parts (PCLa) and the multiple second parts (PCLb) may be arranged alternately and repeatedly along the first direction (X) (or the second direction (Y)). For example, the first direction (X) may be the horizontal direction of the vibration part (PCL). The second direction (Y) may be the vertical direction of the vibration part (PCL) intersecting with the first direction (X), but is not limited thereto. For example, the first direction (X) may be the vertical direction of the vibration part (PCL), while the second direction (Y) may be the horizontal direction of the vibration part (PCL).

[0209] Referring to FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B, each of the plurality of first parts (PCLa) may be disposed between the plurality of second parts (PCLb). For example, each of the plurality of first parts (PCLa) may have a first width parallel to the first direction (X) and a length parallel to the second direction (Y). Each of the plurality of second parts (PCLb) may have a second width parallel to the first direction (X) and a length parallel to the second direction. For example, the first width may be greater than the second width. For example, the plurality of first parts (PCLa) and the plurality of second parts (PCLb) may have the same or different sizes (or widths) and may be arranged alternately and repeatedly along the first direction (X) (or the second direction (Y)), and may include a line shape or a stripe shape. Therefore, the vibration part (PCL) shown in FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B may have a resonance frequency of 20 kHz or less by having a 2-2 composite structure. Without being limited thereto, the resonant frequency of the vibrating portion (PCL) can be changed by at least one or more of the shape, length, and thickness of the vibrating portion.

[0210] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the first portions (PCLa) are arranged at a distance from each other along the first direction (X) and the second direction (Y), and each of the second portions (PCLb) may be arranged to fill the gap between the adjacent first portions (PCLa) or to surround each of the first portions (PCLa) (FIGS. 9C, 9D, 9E, and 9F). For example, the first portions (PCLa) may be arranged in a lattice shape while having the same size as each other (FIG. 9C). For example, the first portions (PCLa) may have a circular planar structure (FIG. 9D). For example, the first portions (PCLa) may have a circular shape, but are not limited thereto. For example, the first portions (PCLa) may have a planar structure such as an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or a donut shape. For example, the first portions (PCLa) may have a triangular planar structure (FIGS. 9E and 9F).

[0211] The vibration part (PCL) according to various embodiments of the present specification may have the shape of a single thin film by arranging (or connecting) a plurality of first parts (PCLa) and second parts (PCLb) on the same plane. For example, the vibration part (PCL) may vibrate in the vertical direction by the first part (PCLa) having vibration characteristics, and may bend into a curved shape by the second part (PCLb) having flexibility. In addition, in the vibration part (PCL) according to various embodiments of the present specification, the size of the first part (PCLa) and the size of the second part (PCLb) may be adjusted according to the piezoelectric characteristics and flexibility required for the vibration part (PCL). For example, in the case of a vibration part (PCL) that requires piezoelectric characteristics rather than flexibility, the size of the first part (PCLa) may be configured to be larger than the size of the second part (PCLb). As another embodiment of the present specification, in the case of a vibration part (PCL) that requires flexibility rather than piezoelectric characteristics, the size of the second part (PCLb) may be configured to be larger than the size of the first part (PCLa). Therefore, the size of the vibrating part (PCL) can be adjusted according to the required characteristics, which makes it easy to design the vibrating part (PCL).

[0212] 10 and 11 are other enlarged views of the 'B' portion shown in FIG. 3. In FIG. 10 and 11, the first plate 511 of the first vibrating device 510 in FIG. 3 is modified. In the following description, except for the modified configuration and the configuration related thereto, the duplicated description of the remaining same configuration will be briefly described or omitted. The description of the first plate 511 with reference to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 can be similarly applied to the second plate 531 of the second vibrating device 530.

[0213] 10 and 11, the first plate 511 according to another embodiment of the present specification may have a convex or concave curved shape. The warping direction of the first plate 511 may be one or more of the long axis, the short axis, and the diagonal direction. For example, a portion of the first plate 511 corresponding to (or overlapping with) the 1-1 hole 411-1 may have a convex or concave shape. As shown in FIG. 10, the portion of the first plate 511 corresponding to (or overlapping with) the 1-1 hole 411-1 may be curved toward the 1-1 hole 411-1. As shown in FIG. 11, the portion of the first plate 511 corresponding to (or overlapping with) the 1-1 hole 411-1 may be curved away from the 1-1 hole 411-1 or toward the opposite direction of the 1-1 hole 411-1.

[0214] The second plate 531 according to other embodiments of the present specification may have the same shape as the first plate 511. For example, the second plate 531 may have a shape warped in a convex or concave shape. For example, the warping direction of the second plate 531 may be one or more of the long axis, the short axis, and the diagonal direction. For example, the portion of the second plate 531 corresponding to (or overlapping with) the 1-2 hole 411-2 may have a convex or concave shape. For example, the portion of the second plate 531 corresponding to (or overlapping with) the 1-2 hole 411-2 may be curved toward the 1-2 hole 411-2. For example, the portion of the second plate 531 corresponding to (or overlapping with) the 1-2 hole 411-2 may be curved away from or in the opposite direction to the 1-2 hole 411-2.

[0215] Fig. 12 is another enlarged view of part 'B' shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 13 is another enlarged view of part 'C' shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 12 shows a modification of first plate 511 of first vibrating device 510 in Fig. 3, and Fig. 13 shows a modification of second plate 531 of second vibrating device 530 in Fig. 3. In the following description, except for the modified configuration and the related configuration, the duplicated description of the remaining same configuration will be simplified or omitted.

[0216] 12 and 13, the first plate 511 and the second plate 531 according to other embodiments of the present specification may include second holes 511a, 531a. For example, the second hole 511a of the first plate 511 shown in FIG. 12 may also be applied to the first plate 511 shown in FIG. 10, and the second hole 531a of the first plate 531 shown in FIG. 13 may also be applied to the second plate 531 shown in FIG. 11.

[0217] According to the embodiment of the present specification, the second holes 511a, 531a may be disposed in the portions of the plates 511, 531 corresponding to (or overlapping with) the first holes 411-1, 411-2. For example, the second holes 511a, 531a may increase the displacement of the first and second vibrating devices 510, 530. For example, the second holes 511a, 531a may be disposed according to the acoustic characteristics required for the first vibrating device 510 and the second vibrating device 530. For example, the number, shape, length, width, etc. of the second holes 511a, 531a may be changed according to the acoustic characteristics required for the first vibrating device 510 and the second vibrating device 530. The second hole 511a in the embodiment of the present specification may be a third hole, and the second hole 531a in the embodiment of the present specification may be a fourth hole, but this number is not intended to limit the contents of the present specification.

[0218] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the total area of ​​the second holes (or 2-1 holes) 511a arranged on the first plate 511 of the first vibrating device 510 may be the same as or different from the total area of ​​the second holes (or 2-2 holes) 531a arranged on the second plate 531 of the second vibrating device 530.

[0219] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the number, shape, length, and width of the 2-1 holes 511a arranged in the first plate 511 may be the same as the number, shape, length, and width of the 2-2 holes 531a arranged in the second plate 531. For example, at least one or more of the number, shape, length, and width of the 2-1 holes 511a may be different from the number, shape, length, and width of the 2-2 holes 531a.

[0220] The second holes 511a, 531a can adjust the amount of displacement of the plates 511, 531. Therefore, by arranging the second holes 511a, 531a in the plates 511, 531 according to the acoustic characteristics required for the first vibrating device 510 and the second vibrating device 530, the devices can generate sounds having the required acoustic characteristics.

[0221] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the seventh connecting members 517 and 537 may or may not overlap the second holes 511a and 531a.

[0222] Fig. 14 is an exploded view of a device according to another embodiment of the present specification. Fig. 15 is another cross-sectional view of the connection structure of the device shown in Fig. 14 along line II' shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 16 is an enlarged view of part 'D' shown in Fig. 15.

[0223] 14 to 16 show devices according to other embodiments of the present specification, which are obtained by modifying the first cover, the vibration device, and the members in the devices according to the embodiments of the present specification described with reference to Figs. 1 to 13. In the following description, except for the modified configurations and the configurations related thereto, duplicated descriptions of the remaining identical configurations will be simplified or omitted.

[0224] 14 to 16, the first cover 400 according to another embodiment of the present specification may include a third hole 413 disposed in the rear part 410. For example, the third hole 413 may increase the amount of sound generated by the vibration of the first and second vibrating devices 510 and 530 transmitted to the front of the device. For example, the third hole 413 may be disposed in the first cover 400 overlapping with the first and second vibrating devices 510 and 530, and the rear surface of the backlight 230 may be exposed to the first and second vibrating devices 510 and 530 through the third hole 413. For example, the rear surface of the backlight 230 may be exposed to the first and second vibrating devices 510 and 530 through the third hole 413. For example, the reflective sheet 235 of the backlight 230 may be exposed toward the rear surface of the first cover 400 through the third hole 413. For example, the reflective sheet 235 of the backlight 230 may be exposed to the first and second vibration devices 510, 530 through the third hole 413. For example, the third hole 413 may be disposed in or on the first area (A1) and the second area (A2) of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400, respectively.

[0225] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the third hole 413 may include a 3-1 hole 413-1 and a 3-2 hole 413-2. For example, the 3-1 hole 413-1 may be disposed in the first region (A1). For example, the 3-2 hole 413-2 may be disposed in the second region (A2). For example, the 3-1 hole 413-1 may be disposed in the first middle region (MA1) or the first edge region (EA1), or may be disposed across the first middle region (MA1) and the first edge region. For example, the 3-2 hole 413-2 may be disposed in the second middle region (MA2) or the second edge region (EA2), or may be disposed across the second middle region (MA2) and the second edge region (EA2). The 3-1 hole 413-1 in the embodiment of the present specification may be a first hole, and the 3-2 hole 413-2 in the embodiment of the present specification may be a second hole, but this number is not intended to limit the content of the present specification.

[0226] The third hole 413 may provide a second gap space between the display member 200 and the vibration device 500. For example, the third hole 413 may provide a second gap space between the backlight 230 of the display member 200 and the vibration device 500. For example, the second gap space may be expressed as a vibration space caused by driving the vibration device 500, a sound pressure space (or a resonating part) where sound pressure is generated by the vibration of the vibration device 500, or a sound wave propagation path (or a sound energy incident part) where sound waves generated according to the vibration of the vibration device 500 are directly propagated to the display member 200, but is not limited thereto.

[0227] The vibration device 500 of the device according to other embodiments of the present specification may include, but is not limited to, a first vibration device 510 (e.g., including a 1-1 vibration device 510-1 in a first area (A1)) and a second vibration device 530 (e.g., including a 2-1 vibration device 530-1 in a second area (A2)).

[0228] The first vibrating device 510 according to the embodiment of the present specification may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the first vibrating device 510 may be disposed in a first region (A1) of the first cover 400, and may vibrate the first region (A1) of the first cover 400 in response to a first driving signal to vibrate the first portion (P1) of the display member 200, thereby generating a first sound (S1) in a first sound range band due to the vibration of the first portion (P1) of the display member 200, or may generate a first haptic feedback (or a first haptic vibration) in response to a touch, for example, a touch by a user.

[0229] The first vibration device 510 may include, but is not limited to, the first-first vibration device 510-1, the first-second vibration device 510-2, and the second member 510-3. For example, the first-first vibration device 510-1 and the first-second vibration device 510-2 may be arranged adjacent to each other. For example, the second member 510-3 may be a first support member, a first guide member, or a first member, and may be used in a mixed manner. However, the present invention is not limited to this. According to other embodiments of the present specification, the first-first vibration device 510-1 and the first-second vibration device 510-2 may be applied interchangeably with each other. For example, the first-second vibration device 510-2 may be arranged on the back surface of the first cover 400.

[0230] The 1-1 vibrating device 510-1 may be disposed on the rear surface of the first cover 400. For example, the 1-1 vibrating device 510-1 may be disposed in a first region (A1) of the rear surface portion 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the 1-1 vibrating device 510-1 may vibrate the first region (A1) of the first cover 400 by a 1-1 driving signal including an audio signal or a haptic feedback signal, thereby vibrating the first portion (P1) of the display member 200, thereby generating a first sound (S1) in a first sound range band due to the vibration of the first portion (P1) of the display member 200, or generating a first haptic feedback (or a first haptic vibration) in response to a touch, for example, a touch by a user. For example, the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 can vibrate a first area (A1) of the first cover 400 to directly vibrate a first part (P1) of the display member 200, thereby generating a first sound (S1) in a first frequency range due to the vibration of the first part (P1) of the display member 200, or generating a first haptic feedback (or a first haptic vibration) in response to a touch.

[0231] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 1-1st vibration device 510-1 may be a film-type vibration device. For example, the 1-1st vibration device 510-1 may be expressed as a flexible sound generator, a flexible actuator, a flexible speaker, a flexible piezoelectric speaker, a film actuator, a film-type piezoelectric composite actuator, a film speaker, a film-type piezoelectric speaker, or a film-type piezoelectric composite speaker, but is not limited thereto.

[0232] In contrast to the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 of the first vibration device 510 according to an embodiment of the present specification being configured to cover the 1-1 hole 411-1 arranged on the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400, the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 of the first vibration device 510 according to other embodiments of the present specification has the same configuration as the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 of the first vibration device 510 according to an embodiment of the present specification, except that it is arranged on the rear of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400, and therefore duplicated description thereof will be omitted or briefly described.

[0233] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 may include a first plate 511 disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 via a 6-1 connection member 515, and a first vibration generator 513 disposed on the rear surface of the first plate 511 via a 7-1 connection member 517, as shown in Figs. 15 and 16. For example, the positions of the first plate 511 and the first vibration generator 513 may be changed. For example, the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 may include a first vibration generator 513 disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 via a 6-1 connection member 515, and a first plate 511 disposed on the rear surface of the first vibration generator 513 via a 7-1 connection member 517.

[0234] The 1-2 vibration device 510-2 may be disposed on the rear part 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 may be disposed on the rear part of the rear part 410 of the first cover 400 so as to cover the 3-1 hole 413-1 (or the 1-1 hole). For example, when configuring the second member 510-3 according to the embodiment of the present specification, the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 may be disposed on the rear part of the second member 510-3. For example, the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 may be disposed on the rear part of the second member 510-3 via the 9-1 connecting member 510-3c. For example, the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 may be a coil-type vibration device (or vibration generator), but may be a vibration device (or vibration generator) including a magnet, a bobbin, and a coil wound on the bobbin. For example, the 9-1 connecting member 510-3c can be disposed between the rear surface of the second member 510-3 and the bobbin of the 1-2 vibration device 510-2.

[0235] The coil-type vibration device according to the embodiment of the present specification may further include a frame (or plate), a center pole, and a damper. The magnet (or permanent magnet) may be disposed on the frame so as to be accommodated in the hollow portion of the bobbin. The coil may be wound so as to surround the outer circumferential surface of the bobbin. For example, the coil may receive an acoustic signal (or voice signal) from the outside. The coil may rise and fall together with the rise and fall of the bobbin. When an acoustic signal is applied to the coil, the bobbin may vibrate, for example, reciprocate up and down, according to Fleming's left-hand rule based on the applied electric field formed around the coil and the external magnetic field formed around the magnet. The center pole may be disposed on the magnet to guide the vibration of the bobbin. For example, the center pole may be surrounded by the bobbin by being inserted (or accommodated) in the hollow portion of the bobbin. For example, the center pole may be disposed on the magnet so as to be accommodated in the hollow portion of the bobbin. For example, the damper may be disposed between the frame and the bobbin. The damper may have a bellows structure between one side and the other side, so that it may contract or relax due to the vibration of the bobbin. For example, the damper can limit the vibration distance (e.g., the vertical movement distance) of the bobbin by the restoring force. For example, when the bobbin vibrates more than a certain distance or less than a certain distance, the bobbin can return to its original position by the restoring force of the damper. The configuration of the coil-type vibration device is not limited to this.

[0236] According to an embodiment of the present specification, since the displacement of the first-second vibrating device 510-2 increases in the low frequency band, the third hole 413 may secure a vibration space between the first vibrating device 510 and the optical sheet unit 237. For example, in order to reduce the height of the device due to the first-second vibrating device 510-2, the first members 610 and 630 may be configured or embodied such that the bobbin of the first-second vibrating device 510-2 is exposed to the third hole 413 or is inserted (or housed) in the third hole 413.

[0237] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the first-second vibrating device 510-2 can vibrate the first area (A1) of the first cover 400 by the first-second driving signal including an audio signal or a haptic feedback signal. Thus, the first-second vibrating device 510-2 can vibrate the first portion (P1) of the display member 200 to generate a first sound (S1) in a first sound range band due to the vibration of the first portion (P1) of the display member 200, or generate a first haptic feedback (or a first haptic vibration) in response to a touch, for example, a touch by a user.

[0238] The 1-2 vibration device 510-2 according to the embodiment of the present specification can vibrate the first area (A1) of the first cover 400 in response to the 1-2 driving signal to generate sound pressure inside the 3-1 hole 413-1 (or the second gap space), thereby vibrating the first part (P1) of the display member 200 to generate a first sound (S1) in a first sound range.

[0239] According to the embodiment of the present specification, when the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 vibrates according to the 1-2 driving signal, the vibration of the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 may cause the vibration of the first area (A1) of the first cover 400, generating sound pressure inside the 3-1 hole 413-1. The vibration of the backlight 230 due to this sound pressure generates sound pressure in the sound transmission space (STS), and the first sound (S1) in the first sound range generated by the vibration of the first part (P1) of the display panel 210 due to the sound pressure generated in the sound transmission space (STS) can be output to the front (FD) of the display panel 210. Therefore, the sound wave generated by the vibration of the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 is directly transmitted (or propagated) to the display member 200 via the 3-1 hole 413-1, thereby improving the sound pressure characteristics and / or sound quality of the first sound (S1).

[0240] The second member 510-3 is disposed between the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 and the first vibrating device 510. For example, the second member 510-3 can support the 1-2 vibrating device 510-2. For example, the second member 510-3 can be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 via the 10-1 connecting member 510-3d.

[0241] The second member 510-3 according to the embodiment of the present specification may include a 4-1 hole 510-3a and a 4-2 hole 510-3b. The 4-1 hole 510-3a according to the embodiment of the present specification may be a 5th hole, and the 4-2 hole 510-3b according to the embodiment of the present specification may be a 6th hole, but this number is not intended to limit the contents of the present specification.

[0242] The 4-1 hole 510-3a according to the embodiment of the present specification may correspond to (or overlap) the 1-1 vibration device 510-1. For example, the 4-1 hole 510-3a may have the same shape as the 1-1 vibration device 510-1, but is not limited thereto. For example, the size (or width) of the 4-1 hole 510-3a may be the same as the size of the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 or may be larger than the size of the 1-1 vibration device 510-1. For example, the 4-1 hole 510-3a may provide a displacement space for the 1-1 vibration device 510-1, thereby increasing the displacement amount of the 1-1 vibration device 510-1. For example, the 4-1 hole 510-3a may be covered by the first plate 511 of the 1-1 vibration device 510-1. For example, the vibration generator 513 of the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 may be disposed on the first plate 511. For example, the vibration generator 513 of the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 may be disposed on the rear surface of the first plate 511.

[0243] The 4-2 hole 510-3b according to the embodiment of the present specification may correspond to (or overlap with) the 3-1 hole 413-1 of the first cover 400. For example, the 4-2 hole 510-3b may correspond to (or overlap with) the 1-2 vibration device 510-2. For example, the 4-2 hole 510-3b may have the same or similar shape as the 3-1 hole 413-1 of the first cover 400, but is not limited thereto. For example, the size (or width) of the 4-2 hole 510-3b may be the same as or different from the size of the 3-1 hole 413-1 of the first cover 400. For example, the size of the 4-2 hole 510-3b may be smaller or larger than the size of the 3-1 hole 413-1.

[0244] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 4-2 hole 510-3b may be covered by the 1-2 vibration device 510-2. For example, the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 may be disposed on the back surface of the second member 510-3 and cover the 4-2 hole 510-3b. For example, the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 may output a second sound pressure through the 4-2 hole 510-3b. For example, the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 may output a low-frequency sound through the 4-2 hole 510-3b, but is not limited thereto.

[0245] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the second member 510-3 may be housed (or accommodated) inside the 1-1 member 610 and support at least one of the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 and the 1-2 vibration device 510-2. For example, the second member 510-3 may be connected or coupled to at least a portion of the 1-1 member 610. For example, the second member 510-3 may be expressed as a first support member, a first support frame, a first support panel, a first guide panel, or a first guider, but is not limited thereto.

[0246] According to the embodiment of the present specification, the portion of the second member 510-3 disposed between the 4-1 hole 510-3a and the 4-2 hole 510-3b can acoustically separate the space in which the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 is disposed from the space in which the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 is disposed. This can prevent or reduce interference between a first sound pressure (or sound wave) generated by the vibration of the 1-1 vibration device 510-1 and a second sound pressure (or sound wave) different from the first sound pressure generated by the vibration of the 1-2 vibration device 510-2, thereby preventing or reducing deterioration of acoustic characteristics.

[0247] The second vibrating device 530 according to the embodiment of the present specification may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the second vibrating device 530 may be disposed in a second region (A2) of the first cover 400, and may vibrate the second region (A2) of the first cover 400 in response to a second driving signal, thereby vibrating the second portion (P2) of the display member 200, thereby generating a second sound (S2) in a second sound range band due to the vibration of the second portion (P2) of the display member 200, or generating a second haptic feedback (or a second haptic vibration) in response to a touch, for example, a touch by a user.

[0248] The vibration device 530 may include, but is not limited to, a 2-1 vibration device 530-1, a 2-2 vibration device 530-2, and a third member 530-3. The 2-1 vibration device 530-1 and the 2-2 vibration device 530-2 may be disposed adjacent to each other. For example, the third member 530-3 may be a second support member, a second guide member, or a first member, but may be used in a mixed manner. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0249] The 2-1 vibrating device 530-1 may be disposed on the rear surface of the first cover 400. For example, the 2-1 vibrating device 530-1 may be disposed in the second region (A2) of the rear surface portion 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the 2-1 vibrating device 530-1 may vibrate the second region (A2) of the first cover 400 and vibrate the second portion (P2) of the display member 200 by a 2-1 driving signal including an audio signal and / or a haptic feedback signal, thereby generating a second sound (S2) in a second sound range band due to the vibration of the second portion (P2) of the display member 200, or generating a second haptic feedback (or a second haptic vibration) in response to a touch, for example, a touch by a user. For example, the 2-1 vibration device 530-1 can vibrate the second area (A2) of the first cover 400 to directly vibrate the second part (P2) of the display member 200, thereby generating a second sound (S2) in a second frequency range due to the vibration of the second part (P2) of the display member 200, or generating a second haptic feedback (or a second haptic vibration) in response to a touch.

[0250] The 2-1 vibration device 530-1 may be configured substantially the same as the 1-1 vibration device 510-1. According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 2-1 vibration device 530-1 may include a second plate 531 disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 via a 6-2 connection member 535, and a second vibration generator 533 disposed on the rear surface of the second plate 531 via a 7-2 connection member 537, as shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16. For example, the positions of the second plate 531 and the second vibration generator 533 may be changed. For example, the 2-1 vibration device 530-1 may include a second vibration generator 533 disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 via a 6-2 connection member 535, and a second plate 531 disposed on the rear surface of the second vibration generator 533 via a 7-2 connection member 537.

[0251] The 2-2 vibration device 530-2 may be disposed on the rear part 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the 2-2 vibration device 530-2 may be disposed on the rear part of the rear part 410 of the first cover 400 so as to cover the 3-2 hole 413-2 (or the 1-2 hole). For example, when the third member 530-3 according to the embodiment of the present specification is configured, the 2-2 vibration device 530-2 may be disposed on the rear part of the third member 530-3. For example, the 2-2 vibration device 530-2 may be disposed on the rear part of the third member 530-3 via the 9-2 connecting member 530-3c. For example, the 2-2 vibration device 530-2 may be a coil-type vibration device (or vibration generator), but may be a vibration device (or vibration generator) including a magnet, a bobbin, and a coil wound on the bobbin. For example, the 9-2 connecting member 530-3c may be disposed between the rear surface of the 3rd member 530-3 and the bobbin of the 2-2 vibration device 530-2. The 9-1 connecting member 510-3c in the embodiment of this specification may be the 12th connecting member, and the 9-2 connecting member 530-3c in the embodiment of this specification may be the 13th connecting member, but this number is not intended to limit the contents of this specification.

[0252] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the second-2 vibrating device 530-2 can vibrate the second area (A2) of the first cover 400 by the second-2 driving signal including an audio signal and / or a haptic feedback signal. Thus, the second-2 vibrating device 530-2 can vibrate the second portion (P2) of the display member 200 to generate a second sound (S2) in a second range band due to the vibration of the second portion (P2) of the display member 200, or generate a second haptic feedback (or haptic vibration) in response to a touch, for example, a touch by a user. For example, the second-2 vibrating device 530-2 can directly vibrate the second portion (P2) of the display member 200 to generate a second sound (S2) in a second range band due to the vibration of the second portion (P2) of the display member 200, or generate a second haptic feedback (or haptic vibration) in response to a touch.

[0253] The 2-2 vibration device 530-2 according to the embodiment of the present specification can vibrate the second area (A2) of the first cover 400 in response to the 2-2 driving signal to generate sound pressure inside the 3-2 hole 413-2 (or the second gap space), thereby vibrating the second part (P2) of the display member 200 to generate a second sound (S2) in the second sound range.

[0254] According to the embodiment of the present specification, when the 2-2 vibration device 530-2 vibrates according to the 2-2 driving signal, the vibration of the 2-2 vibration device 530-2 may cause the vibration of the second area (A2) of the first cover 400, generating sound pressure inside the 3-2 hole 413-2. The vibration of the backlight 230 due to this sound pressure generates sound pressure in the sound transmission space (STS), and the second sound (S2) in the second sound range generated by the vibration of the second part (P2) of the display panel 210 due to the sound pressure generated in the sound transmission space (STS) may be output to the front (FD) of the display panel 210. Therefore, the sound waves generated by the vibration of the 2-2 vibration device 530-2 are directly transmitted (or propagated) to the display member 200 via the 3-2 hole 413-2, thereby improving the sound pressure characteristics and sound quality of the second sound (S2).

For example, the third member 530-3 may support the second-second vibrating device 530-2. For example, the third member 530-3 may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 via the first-second connecting member 530-3d. The first-first connecting member 510-3d in the embodiment of this specification may be the fourteenth connecting member, and the first-second connecting member 530-3d in the embodiment of this specification may be the fifteenth connecting member, but this number does not limit the contents of this specification.

For example, the 5-1 hole 530-3a may have the same or similar shape as the 2-1 vibration device 530-1, but is not limited thereto. For example, the size of the 5-1 hole 530-3a may be the same as the size of the 2-1 vibration device 530-1 or may be larger than the size of the 2-1 vibration device 530-1. For example, the 5-1 hole 530-3a can provide a displacement space for the 2-1 vibration device 530-1, thereby increasing the displacement amount of the 2-1 vibration device 530-1. For example, the 5-1 hole 530-3a can be covered by the second plate 531 of the 2-1 vibration device 530-1.

According to the embodiment of the present specification, since the air impedance of the vibration device 500 can be controlled by configuring the first member 600, a device capable of expanding the sound range can be provided. And, since the device according to the embodiment of the present specification includes a film-type vibration device, a device with improved sound pressure characteristics and / or acoustic characteristics including the high-frequency range can be provided, and since the thickness of the device can be reduced, a device having a slim structure can be provided.

[0292] Fig. 20 is a graph showing the sound pressure level characteristics of the device according to the embodiment of the specification. Fig. 21 is a graph showing another sound pressure level characteristic of the device according to the embodiment of the specification.

[0293] In Figures 20 and 21, the horizontal axis represents frequency (Hz) and the vertical axis represents sound pressure level (dB). In Figure 20, the dotted line represents sound pressure level characteristics measured with an apparatus that does not include a component, and the solid line represents sound pressure level characteristics measured with an apparatus that includes a component. In Figure 21, the dotted line represents sound pressure level characteristics measured with an apparatus that includes a component but does not include a second cover, and the solid line represents sound pressure level characteristics measured with an apparatus that includes a component and a second cover.

[0294] 20, it can be seen that the sound pressure level in the low frequency band (below about 300 Hz) measured when the first member 600 is included (solid line) is higher than the sound pressure level measured when the first member 600 is not included (dotted line). Therefore, by configuring the device with the first member 600 as in the examples of this specification, it is possible to improve the sound pressure characteristics and acoustic characteristics in the low frequency band.

[0295] 21, it can be seen that the sound pressure level characteristics measured when the first member 600 and the second cover 700 are included (solid line) are similar to the sound pressure level characteristics measured when the first member 600 is included but the second cover 700 is not included (dotted line) over the entire measurement frequency range. Therefore, by configuring the first member 600 in the device as in the examples of this specification, it is possible to generate sound having a consistent sound pressure level regardless of whether the second cover 700 is applied or not.

For example, the receiving portion 690 may be realized in a shape in which a portion of the first member 600 protrudes from the first member 600 toward the first cover 400, or protrudes in a spaced apart manner in the opposite direction of the first cover 400. For example, the portion protruding from the first member 600 (for example, the 1-1 member 610) may be the bottom portion 611 or the side portion 613 of the 1-1 member 610 of the first member 600. For example, the receiving portion 690 may be realized as a groove formed in a part of the front surface of the first member 600, or may be realized as a groove formed in a part of the rear surface of the first member 600. For example, the part of the first member 600 (e.g., the 1-1 member 610) in which the groove is formed may be formed in the bottom portion 611 or the side portion 613 of the first member 600 (e.g., the 1-1 member 610).

[0308] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 1-2 member 630 may be disposed in the second edge region (EA2) of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the 1-2 member 630 may be formed long along the second direction (Y) (or vertical direction) of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 in the second edge region (EA2) of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400. For example, the 1-2 member 630 may be disposed across the first region (UA) and the second region (LA) of the first cover 400 based on a second middle line (or vertical middle line) (CL2) in the second direction (Y) (or vertical direction) of the first cover 400. For example, the 1-2 member 630 may include a first portion (UA2) disposed in or overlapping the first region (UA) of the first cover 400, and a second portion (LA2) disposed in or overlapping the second region (LA) of the first cover 400.

[0310] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the second vibrating device 530 may be disposed between the second area (LA) of the second edge area (EA2) of the first cover 400 and the second portion (LA2) of the 1-2 member 630. In this case, the second housing portion 693 may be disposed in the first portion (UA2) of the 1-2 member 630. For example, the second vibrating device 530 may be disposed in the second portion (LA2) of the 1-2 member 630, and the second housing portion 693 may be disposed in the first portion (UA2) of the 1-2 member 630.

[0311] According to a device according to another embodiment of the present specification, a rear vibration member 800 may be disposed on the first member 600. For example, the rear vibration member 800 may be disposed in a receiving portion 690 formed on the first member 600. For example, the rear vibration member 800 may be disposed on a first portion (UA1 or UA2) or a second portion (LA1 or LA2) of the first member 600. For example, the rear vibration member 800 may be disposed on a front surface of the first member 600 facing the first cover 400, or on a rear surface of the first member 600 facing the front surface of the first member 600.

[0312] The rear vibrating member 800 vibrates due to the vibration of the first member 600 caused by the vibration of the corresponding vibrating device 500, and can improve the acoustic characteristics of the low frequency range. The rear vibrating member 800 vibrates due to the vibration of the first member 600 caused by the vibration of the vibrating device 500, and serves as an additional vibration source separate from the vibrating device 500, and can improve the strength and vibration feeling (or vibration characteristics) of the haptic feedback. Thus, the rear vibrating member 800 can be expressed as a radiating member, a rear radiating member, an acoustic radiating member, an auxiliary vibrating member, a haptic member, a haptic feedback member, an exciting member, or a responsive vibrating member, but is not limited thereto.

[0313] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the rear vibrating member 800 may include a first rear vibrating member 810 and a second rear vibrating member 830. The first rear vibrating member 810 may be disposed on the 1-1 member 610. For example, the first rear vibrating member 810 may be disposed on the bottom 611 of the 1-1 member 610. For example, the first rear vibrating member 810 may be disposed on the front or rear of the bottom 611 of the 1-1 member 610. For example, the first rear vibrating member 810 may be disposed in the first housing portion 691 of the 1-1 member 610.

[0314] The first rear vibrating member 810 may be disposed on the first portion (UA1) or the second portion (LA1) of the 1-1 member 610. For example, the first rear vibrating member 810 may be disposed on a portion other than the portion of the 1-1 member 610 on which the first vibrating device 510 of the 1-1 member 610 is disposed. For example, the first rear vibrating member 810 may be disposed on the second portion (LA1) of the 1-1 member 610, and the first vibrating device 510 may be disposed on the first portion (UA1) of the 1-1 member 610. For example, the first rear vibrating member 810 may be disposed on the first portion (UA1) of the 1-1 member 610, and the first vibrating device 510 may be disposed on the second portion (LA1) of the 1-1 member 610.

[0315] The first rear vibrating member 810 according to the embodiment of the present specification may further include a first vibrating plate. The first rear vibrating member 810 may further include a first vibrating plate and a first rear connecting member interposed between the bottom 611 of the 1-1 member 610 and the first vibrating plate. For example, the first vibrating plate may be disposed on the rear surface of the first receiving portion 691. For example, the first vibrating plate may output haptic vibration by vibrating in response to vibration of the 1-1 member 610 caused by vibration of at least one of the 1-1 vibrating device 510-1 and the 1-2 vibrating device 510-2 of the first vibrating device 510. For example, the first rear vibrating member 810 may be expressed as a first radiating member, a first rear radiating member, a first acoustic radiating member, a first auxiliary vibrating member, a first haptic member, a first haptic feedback member, a first exciting member, or a first responsive vibrating member.

[0316] In order to ensure sufficient vibration characteristics of the first rear vibration member 810 and match the acoustic phase between the first rear vibration member 810 and the first vibration device 510, the first rear vibration member 810 and the first vibration device 510 may be separated by a certain ratio distance (first distance) (L1).

[0317] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the first distance (L1) may be a distance between the center of the region (or exposed region) 510-2a of the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 exposed through the first through hole 671 formed in the 1-1 member 610 and the center of the first rear vibrating member 810, and the reference position for the first distance (L1) is not limited thereto. For example, the first distance (L1) may be a distance between the center of the 1-2 vibration device 510-2 at the center of the first vibration device 510 and the center of the first rear vibrating member 810, which are regions facing each other based on the second middle line (CL2).

[0318] The second rear vibrating member 830 may be disposed on the 1-2 member 630. For example, the second rear vibrating member 830 may be disposed on the bottom 631 of the 1-2 member 630. For example, the second rear vibrating member 830 may be disposed on the front or rear surface of the bottom 631 of the 1-2 member 630. For example, the second rear vibrating member 830 may be disposed in the second housing portion 693 of the 1-2 member 630.

[0319] The second rear vibration member 830 may be disposed in the first portion (UA2) or the second portion (LA2) of the 1-2 member 630. For example, the second rear vibration member 830 may be disposed in a region other than the second vibrating device 530. For example, the second rear vibration member 830 may be disposed in the second portion (LA2) of the 1-2 member 630, and the second vibrating device 530 may be disposed in the first portion (UA2) of the 1-2 member 630. For example, the second rear vibration member 830 may be disposed in the first portion (UA2) of the 1-2 member 630, and the second vibrating device 530 may be disposed in the second portion (LA2) of the 1-2 member 630.

[0320] The second rear vibration member 830 according to the embodiment of the present specification may further include a second vibration plate. The second rear vibration member 830 may further include a second rear connection member interposed between the second vibration plate and the bottom 631 of the first-second member 630. For example, the second vibration plate may be disposed on the rear surface of the receiving portion 693. For example, the second vibration plate may output haptic vibration by vibrating in response to vibration of the first-second member 630 caused by vibration of at least one of the second-first vibration device 530-1 and the second-second vibration device 530-2 of the second vibration device 530. For example, the second rear vibration member 830 may be expressed as a second radiating member, a second rear radiating member, a second acoustic radiating member, a second auxiliary vibration member, a second haptic member, a second haptic feedback member, a second excitation member, or a second responsive vibration member.

[0321] In order to ensure sufficient vibration characteristics of the second rear vibration member 830 and match the acoustic phase between the second rear vibration member 830 and the second vibration device 530, the second rear vibration member 830 and the second vibration device 530 may be separated by a certain ratio distance (second distance) (L2).

[0322] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the second distance (L2) may be a distance between the center of the area (or exposed area) 530-2a of the 2-2 vibrating device 530-2 exposed through the second through hole 673 formed in the 1-2 member 630 and the center of the second rear vibrating member 830, and the reference position for the second distance (L2) is not limited thereto. For example, the second distance (L2) may be a distance between the center of the 2-2 vibrating device 530-2 of the second vibrating device 530 and the center of the second rear vibrating member 830, which are areas facing each other based on the second middle line (CL2). For example, the first distance (L1) between the first rear vibrating member 810 and the first vibrating device 510 may be the same as or different from the second distance (L2) between the second rear vibrating member 830 and the second vibrating device 530.

[0323] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 1-1 vibration device 510-1, the 1-2 vibration device 510-2, the second member 510-3, the 1-1 member 610, and the first rear vibrating member 810 can configure a first vibration generating device. According to an embodiment of the present specification, the 2-1 vibration device 530-1, the 2-2 vibration device 530-2, the third member 530-3, the 1-2 member 630, and the second rear vibrating member 830 can configure a second vibration generating device.

[0324] Fig. 24 is a diagram showing measurement points on a display member for measuring vibration acceleration in a device according to an embodiment of the present specification, Fig. 24 is a diagram showing the front of the device.

[0325] In FIG. 24, the first to third measurement points (MP1, MP2, MP3) are positions that correspond (or overlap) with the 1-1 member 610 or correspond (or overlap) with the first edge region (EA1) of the rear portion 410 of the first cover 400 in the device shown in FIG. 22, the first measurement point (MP1) is a position that corresponds (or overlaps) with the first vibrating device 510 (or the 1-2 vibrating device 510-2), the third measurement point (MP3) is a position that corresponds (or overlaps) with the first rear vibrating member 810, and the second measurement point (MP2) is an intermediate position between the first measurement point (MP1) and the third measurement point (MP3).

[0326] Table 1 below shows the results of measuring vibration acceleration at the first to third measurement points (MP1, MP2, MP3) shown in Fig. 24. The comparison values ​​are vibration accelerations measured at the first to third measurement points (MP1, MP2, MP3) of a device to which the first member 600 and rear vibration member 800 are not applied. The experimental values ​​are vibration accelerations measured at the first to third measurement points (MP1, MP2, MP3) of a device to which the first member 600 and rear vibration member 800 are applied. The comparison values ​​and experimental values ​​were measured by applying a 5V sine wave having 200Hz to the second vibration device 530.

[0327] [Table 1]

[0328] Referring to Table 1, it can be seen that the comparative value and the experimental value measured at the first measurement point (MP1) corresponding to (or overlapping) the first vibrating device 510 are the same, but the experimental values ​​measured at the second measurement point (MP2) and the third measurement point (MP3) are greater than the comparative value. Thus, as with other embodiments herein, in the case of a device including the first member 600 and the rear vibrating member 800, the vibration acceleration can be increased compared to a device not including the first member 600 and the rear vibrating member 800, thereby improving the response speed of the haptic feedback. Therefore, since vibration is transmitted at a high speed to an area not corresponding to (or overlapping) the first vibrating device 510, the vibration feeling or vibration characteristics of the haptic feedback can be improved.

[0329] The vibration device according to the embodiments of the present specification can be applied to a vibration device disposed on a device. The apparatus according to the embodiments of the present specification may be applied to a mobile device, a video phone, a smart watch, a watch phone, a wearable apparatus, a foldable apparatus, a rollable apparatus, a bendable apparatus, a flexible apparatus, a curved apparatus, a sliding apparatus, a variable apparatus, an electronic organizer, an electronic book, a portable multimedia player (PMP), a personal digital assistant (PDA), an MP3 player, a mobile medical device, a desktop PC, a laptop PC, a netbook computer, a workstation, a navigation system, a vehicle navigation system, a vehicle device, a vehicle display device, a theater device, a theater display device, a television, a wallpaper device, a signage device, a game device, a notebook computer, a monitor, a camera, a video camera, and a home appliance. In addition, the vibration device according to the embodiment of the present specification may be applied to an organic light-emitting lighting device or an inorganic light-emitting lighting device.
