- each piezoelectric vibrator 10 uses a sound wave of 20 kHz or more, for example, 100 kHz, as a signal transport wave.
- the basic resonance frequency of the piezoelectric vibrator depends on the length of the contour shape of the vibration surface.

- the plurality of piezoelectric vibrators 10 are constituted by the convex portions 72. That is, the plurality of piezoelectric vibrators 10 are arranged with a groove therebetween. Therefore, the vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator 10 is restrained from being restrained as compared with the case where no groove is formed between the piezoelectric vibrators 10. Therefore, energy loss of the oscillation device 100 can be suppressed and low power consumption can be achieved.
- the plurality of convex portions 72 are arranged with a groove interposed therebetween. For this reason, it is possible to prevent vibration from being transmitted from one piezoelectric vibrator 10 to another adjacent piezoelectric vibrator 10.

- the longitudinal elastic modulus of the vibration member 20 is preferably 1 to 500 GPa. When the longitudinal elastic modulus of the vibration member 20 is excessively low or high, the vibration characteristics and reliability of the oscillation device may be impaired.
- the vibration member 20 is held by a substrate 32, for example.
- the substrate 32 has a ring shape with a hollow inside.
- the ring shape is, for example, a quadrangle, but is not limited thereto, and may be a circle or an ellipse.
- the vibration member 20 is held on the substrate 32 by a part of the end portion being fixed on the substrate 32.
- substrate 32 is fixed by the support frame 30, for example.

- the oscillation device 102 and the oscillation device 104 are arranged at positions shifted from each other in plan view.
- the substrate 32 has a ring shape with a hollow inside.

Abstract
Description
前記複数の第1凸部上それぞれに、互いに分離して設けられた複数の第1電極層と、
それぞれが一の前記第1電極層のみと対向するように、前記圧電体の前記一面とは反対の他面上に設けられた複数の第2電極層と、
を備える発振装置が提供される。
凸部72および凸部74は、圧電効果を有する上記材料からなる圧電体を加工することにより形成される。圧電体の加工は、例えば圧電材料上の切削加工や、形状型による焼成等により行うことができる。
凸部72および凸部74は、例えば平面視で正方形である。
上部電極80および下部電極82は、電気伝導性を有する材料によって構成され、例えば銀または銀/パラジウム合金等によって構成される。銀は、低抵抗な汎用材料であり、製造コストや製造プロセスの観点から優位である。また、銀/パラジウム合金は、耐酸化性に優れた低抵抗材料であり、信頼性に優れる。上部電極80および下部電極82の厚みは、1~50μmであることが好ましい。厚みが1μm未満の場合、均一に成形することが難しくなる。一方、50μmを超える場合、上部電極80または下部電極82が圧電体70に対して拘束面となり、エネルギー変換効率の低下を招く。
これにより、発振装置100は、複数の圧電振動子10を有することとなる。
このように、凸部72、凸部74、上部電極80および下部電極82の形状を選択することにより、これらにより構成される複数の圧電振動子10の共振周波数を選択することができる。
信号生成部92は、各上部電極80および各下部電極82と接続している。そして、各上部電極80および各下部電極82によって構成される各圧電振動子10に入力する電気信号を生成する。
制御部90は、信号生成部92に接続し、信号生成部92による信号の生成を制御する。外部から入力された情報に基づいて制御部90が信号生成部92の信号の生成を制御することにより、複数の圧電振動子10の出力を互いに独立して制御することができる。
圧電振動子の基本共振周波数は振動面の輪郭形状の長さに依存する。すなわち、共振周波数が高域にシフトするほど、圧電振動子の面積は減少する。このため、各圧電振動子10の発振周波数を超音波帯域にすることで、発振装置100の小型化を図ることができる。
また、各圧電振動子10の発振周波数を超音波帯域にすることで、高い指向性を実現することもできる。
また、発振装置100を音波センサとして使用する場合、制御部90に入力される信号は、音波を発振する旨の指令信号である。そして、発振装置100を音波センサとして使用する場合、信号生成部92は各圧電振動子10に、各圧電振動子10の共振周波数の音波を発生させる。
このように、本実施形態によれば、複数の圧電振動子10は、一層の圧電体70から構成される。このため、複数の圧電振動子10をアレイ状に配列し、互いに接合するプロセスを必要としない。複数の圧電振動子10間における特性ばらつきを抑制することができる。従って、電子機器の音響特性を向上させることができる。
また、基板32は、例えば支持枠30によって固定される。
このため、基板32の一面側には、複数の発振装置102から基板32の一面側へ出力された音波と、複数の発振装置104から発振装置102間の隙間を通って基板32の一面側へ出力された音波が放射される。また、基板32の他面側には、複数の発振装置104から基板32の他面側へ出力された音波と、複数の発振装置102から発振装置104間の隙間を通って基板32の他面側へ出力された音波が放射される。
従って、発振装置102および発振装置104から出力される音波が効率的に放射されることとなり、高い音圧レベルを実現することができる。
なお、発振装置102および発振装置104の配置は、任意に調整することができる。
信号生成部92は、各圧電振動子10と接続しており、各圧電振動子10に入力する電気信号を生成する。また、制御部90は、信号生成部92に接続し、信号生成部92による信号の生成を制御する。外部から入力された情報に基づいて制御部90が信号生成部92の信号の生成を制御することにより、複数の発振装置100の出力を互いに独立して制御することができる。
発振装置100の出力制御については、制御部90および信号生成部92を用いて、第1の実施形態と同様に実施することができる。
本実施形態によれば、振動部材20は、バネ形状を有している。このため、振動時において、振動部材20には板バネ効果が働くこととなる。また、振動時におけるストロークの長尺化を図ることもできる。これにより、発振装置100の音圧レベルを向上させることができる。従って、電子機器の音響特性を向上させることができる。
