Abstract
An electronic device 1 includes: a panel 10; a housing 60 holding the panel 10; and a piezoelectric element 30 attached to the panel 10, wherein the deformation of the piezoelectric element 30 causes the panel 10 to vibrate, to transmit human body vibration sound to an object in contact with the panel 10, and the perpendicular line or normal to the main surface of the panel 10 and the surface of the piezoelectric element 30 attached to the panel 10 are not orthogonal to each other.
Claims5
An electronic device comprising:
- a housing;
- a panel attached to the housing;
- and
- a piezoelectric element attached to the panel,
- wherein deformation of the piezoelectric element causes the panel to vibrate, to transmit human body vibration sound to an object in contact with the panel,
- when the panel is removed from the housing and placed on a horizontal plane, the horizontal plane and a virtual plane including a main surface of the piezoelectric element intersect at a predetermined angle,
- the panel has a convex curved surface with an intermediate area protruding more than both ends, in a predetermined section of the panel, and
- when the panel is placed on the horizontal plane with the intermediate area being higher than the ends, the horizontal plane and the virtual plane including the main surface of the piezoelectric element intersect at the predetermined angle.
