36 results about "Piezoelectric speaker" patented technology

A piezoelectric speaker (also known as a piezo bender due to its mode of operation, and sometimes colloquially called a "piezo", buzzer, crystal loudspeaker or beep speaker) is a loudspeaker that uses the piezoelectric effect for generating sound. The initial mechanical motion is created by applying a voltage to a piezoelectric material, and this motion is typically converted into audible sound using diaphragms and resonators. Compared to other speaker designs piezoelectric speakers are relatively easy to drive; for example they can be connected directly to TTL outputs, although more complex drivers can give greater sound intensity. Typically they operate well in the range of 1-5 kHz and up to 100 kHz in ultrasound applications.

Piezoelectric loudspeaker and manufacturing method thereof

A piezoelectric speaker includes a diaphragm and a piezoelectric layer disposed over the diaphragm. The thickness of the piezoelectric layer may be in the range of 20 microns to 120 microns. A width of the piezoelectric layer may be 50 mm or more, and a length of the piezoelectric layer may be 100 mm or more. The piezoelectric layer may also include a pair of electrodes in electrical contact with the piezoelectric layer and configured to drive the piezoelectric layer. A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric speaker includes attaching a single piezoelectric layer and a pair of electrodes to a diaphragm using an adhesive.
