Abstract

A piezoelectric vibrator is used in an electronic device having a screen. The piezoelectric vibrator includes a diaphragm, at least one piezoelectric layer attached to the diaphragm, and a vibrating element extending from the diaphragm for being coupled to a surface of the screen.

Claims (14)

1. A piezoelectric vibrator, used in an electronic device having a screen, comprising:

a diaphragm;

at least one piezoelectric layer attached to the diaphragm;

electrodes provided between the diaphragm and the piezoelectric layer for providing electric field to the piezoelectric layer; wherein

the diaphragm comprises a body and a vibrating element extending from the body; and

the vibrating element comprises a first portion extending from the body and second portion perpendicular to the first portion for being coupled with the screen.

2. The piezoelectric vibrator as described in claim 1 , wherein the piezoelectric layer is made of ceramic material.

3. An electronic device comprising:

a screen;

a piezoelectric vibrator coupling to a bottom of the screen and defining a diaphragm, at least one piezoelectric layer attached to the diaphragm;

electrodes provided between the diaphragm and the piezoelectric layer for providing electric field to the piezoelectric layer; wherein

the diaphragm comprises a body and a vibrating element extending from the body; and

the vibrating element comprises a first portion extending from the body and second portion perpendicular to the first portion for being coupled with the screen.

4. The electronic device as described in claim 3 , wherein the piezoelectric layer is made of ceramic material.
