Abstract

A broadband linear vibrator that is small sized and yet capable of generating a greater vibrating force and outputting various broadband vibrations, and a mobile terminal capable of outputting various vibrations and sounds, wherein the broadband linear vibrator includes a case; a spring coupled to the case; an oscillator including a magnet for elastically supporting the spring and a stator formed inside the case for vibrating the oscillator, wherein a frequency band to a maximum use frequency that is detectable as a vibration or a sound source based on a resonant frequency is 1.2 times than a frequency band to a minimum use frequency, such that various feelings of vibrations and sounds can be advantageously provided by the broadband linear vibrator.

Claims (24)

1. A broadband linear vibrator, comprising:

a case;

a spring coupled to the case;

an oscillator including a magnet for elastically supporting the spring;

a stator formed inside the case for vibrating the oscillator;

an upper late formed between the spring and the magnet, wherein the magnet includes an outer magnet disposed at a periphery of the upper plate and an inner magnet that is centrally disposed; and

a bottom plate formed at a bottom end of the magnet;

wherein a frequency band to a maximum use frequency that is detectable as a vibration or a sound source based on a resonant frequency is 1.2 times larger than a frequency band to a minimum use frequency,

wherein a use frequency is set up separately set up a vibration mode and a sound mode, and

wherein each of the outer magnet and the inner magnet has an opposite polarity toward a vibrating direction of the oscillator.

2. The broadband linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the upper plate and the bottom plate is formed with a magnetic substance.

3. The broadband linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein a cubic rate between the external magnet and the inner magnet is in the range of 0.8˜1.

4. The broadband linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein the vibration mode is set up within the maximum use frequency of 300 Hz.

5. A broadband linear vibrator, comprising:

a case;

a spring coupled to the case;

an oscillator including a magnet for elastically supporting the spring;

a stator formed inside the case for vibrating the oscillator;

an upper plate formed between the spring and the magnet, wherein the magnet includes an outer magnet disposed at a periphery of the upper plate and an inner magnet that is centrally disposed; and

a bottom plate formed at a bottom end of the magnet;

wherein the linear vibrator generates an oscillating frequency capable of detecting in the range of 30˜150 Hz before and after resonant frequency,

wherein each of the outer magnet and the inner magnet has an opposite polarity toward a vibrating direction of the oscillator.

6. The broadband linear vibrator of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the upper plate and the bottom plate is formed with a magnetic substance.

7. The broadband linear vibrator of claim 5 , wherein a cubic rate between the outer magnet and the inner magnet is in the range of 0.8˜1.
