Haptic feedback device
View Patent ↗A haptic feedback device includes a screen and a piezoelectric vibrator partially connected with the screen. The screen includes a display viewing area and a frame surrounding the display viewing area. The piezoelectric vibrator engaged with the screen defines a moving portion having a projecting portion extending toward the screen. The screen defines a cavity and the projecting portion of the piezoelectric vibrator is at least partially accommodated in the cavity.
1. A haptic feedback device comprising:
a screen comprising a display viewing area and a frame surrounding the display viewing area;
a piezoelectric vibrator engaged with the screen to cause vibration along a direction parallel to the screen,
wherein the piezoelectric vibrator is arranged to contain a pair of supporting portions positioned at two ends of a moving portion, the moving portion having a projecting portion extending from the moving portion toward the screen;
wherein, the screen defines a cavity and the projecting portion of the piezoelectric vibrator is at least partially accommodated in the cavity.
2. The haptic feedback device as described in claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion comprises material of metal.
3. The haptic feedback device as described in claim 1 , wherein the moving portion of the piezoelectric vibrator defines a pair of ceramic plates, and the projecting portion is sandwiched between the ceramic plates.
4. The haptic feedback device as described in claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion extends from a side of the moving portion of the piezoelectric vibrator.
5. The haptic feedback device as described in claim 1 , wherein the cavity is located in the frame.
6. The haptic feedback device as described in claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion projects from a center of the moving portion.
7. The haptic feedback device as described in claim 1 , wherein the moving portion is parallel to the screen.
8. A haptic feedback device comprising:
a screen;
a piezoelectric vibrator being capable of vibrating along a direction parallel to the screen, the piezoelectric vibrator defining a moving portion parallel to the screen;
wherein the piezoelectric vibrator is arranged to contain a pair of supporting portions positioned at two ends of the moving portion;
a complementary conformation defined between the screen and the moving portion for transmitting the vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator directly to the screen.
9. The haptic feedback device as described in claim 8 , wherein the complementary conformation includes a cavity in the screen and a projecting portion extending from the moving portion toward the screen for accommodating in the cavity.
10. The haptic feedback device as described in claim 9 , wherein the screen includes a display viewing area and a frame surrounding the display viewing area, and the cavity is configured in the frame.
11. The haptic feedback device as described in claim 9 , wherein the moving portion includes a pair of ceramic plates for sandwiching the projecting portion.
