Piezoelectric acoustic transducer

Abstract

A piezoelectric type loudspeaker, which achieves both space-saving and high sound quality without increasing the number of parts, is provided. In order to achieve this, the present invention includes: a piezoelectric element constructed of a piezoelectric material interposed between two surface electrodes; and a diaphragm of which at least one principal surface is provided with a print wiring and at least one principal surface is bonded to the piezoelectric element, and the diaphragm includes: a frame section; a vibrating section which is bonded with the piezoelectric element, and which vibrates; and at least one supporting section which connects the frame section and the vibrating section, and which supports the vibrating section, and either the frame section or the at least one supporting section includes at least one electrical resistance which is integrally formed to the print wiring, and which constructs, in combination with the piezoelectric element, a series-RC circuit.
