Abstract
Excessive deformation of a piezoelectric element is reduced. An electronic apparatus 1 according to the present invention includes a panel 10, a piezoelectric element 30, a housing 60 for mounting the panel 10, and an intermediate member 80 attached to the piezoelectric element 30, wherein the intermediate member 80 and the panel 10 deform due to deformation of the piezoelectric element 30, thereby delivering an air conduction sound and a human body vibration sound to an object in contact with the panel 10 that is deforming.
