Abstract
Metal films for first and second mounting terminals are formed at ends on both sides of a piezoelectric vibration plate across a vibrating portion, and first and second mounting terminals connected to these metal films are formed on outer surfaces of resin films adhered to the piezoelectric vibration plate. In case the metal films for first and second mounting terminals on both sides of the vibrating portion are desirably reduced in size in order to enlarge the vibrating portion, an adequate joining area for mounting purpose is still secured for the first and second mounting terminals formed on the outer surfaces of the resin films.
Claims9
A piezoelectric vibration device comprising a piezoelectric vibration plate, the piezoelectric vibration plate comprising:
- a vibrating portion having a first driving electrode and a second driving electrode;
- and
- metal films for first and second mounting terminals, the metal films being respectively connected to the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode,
- the piezoelectric vibration device further comprising
- a first sealing member and a second sealing member adherable to main surfaces on both sides of the piezoelectric vibration plate in a manner that cover the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode formed on the main surfaces of the piezoelectric vibration plate, at least one of the first sealing member or the second sealing member being a film including a resin,
- the metal film for first mounting terminal being formed at one of ends on both sides of the piezoelectric vibration plate across the vibrating portion,
- the metal film for second mounting terminal being formed at another one of the ends on both sides of the piezoelectric vibration plate across the vibrating portion,
- ends on both sides of the film being adhered to the ends on both sides of the piezoelectric vibration plate across the vibrating portion,
- the piezoelectric vibration device further comprising:
- a first mounting terminal connected to the metal film for first mounting terminal, the first mounting terminal being formed in a manner that covers an outer surface of the film at one of the ends on the both sides thereof;
- and
- a second mounting terminal connected to the metal film for second mounting terminal, the second mounting terminal being formed in a manner that covers the outer surface of the film at another one of the ends on the both sides thereof,
- the piezoelectric vibration plate further comprising an outer frame coupled to the vibrating portion through a coupling means,
- the outer frame surrounding, at a position spaced from the vibrating portion, an outer circumference of the vibrating portion smaller in thickness,
- each of the metal films for first and second mounting terminals being formed on the outer frame, respectively,
- the first and second sealing members each being adhered to the outer frame in a manner that seals the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode,
- one of main surfaces on both sides of the outer frame has a first sealing pattern to which the first sealing member is adherable, the first sealing pattern being connected to the metal film for first mounting terminal and surrounding the vibrating portion with the metal film for first mounting terminal, and
- another one of main surfaces of the outer frame has a second sealing pattern to which the second film is adherable, the second sealing pattern being connected to the metal film for second mounting terminal and surrounding the vibrating portion with the metal film for second mounting terminal,
- the first sealing pattern and the second sealing pattern each having an extended portion being smaller in width than the outer frame,
- wherein
- there is no electrode region on both sides in the direction of width of the extended portion of each of the first and second sealing patterns.
