Abstract
A crystal oscillator includes: a crystal resonator plate having a first excitation electrode and a second excitation electrode. A first sealing member covers the first excitation electrode of the crystal resonator plate. A second sealing member covers the second excitation electrode of the crystal resonator plate. An internal space is formed by bonding the first sealing member to the crystal resonator plate and the second sealing member to the crystal resonator plate, and seals a vibrating part of the crystal resonator plate. First and second shield electrodes are connected to a fixed potential (e.g. GND potential) in the internal space.
