Abstract

A haptic feedback screen device include a case, a screen assembled in the case and having a baffling section extending perpendicular from a surface thereof, a piezoelectric vibrator located in the case with two ends thereof fixed to the case being capable of vibrating parallel to the screen. The piezoelectric vibrator defines a projecting element opposed to the baffling section of the screen for being capable of abutting against the baffling section.

Claims (10)

1. A haptic feedback apparatus, comprising—

a case;

a screen assembled in the case and having a baffling section extending perpendicular from a surface thereof;

a piezoelectric vibrator located in the case with two ends thereof fixed to the case, the piezoelectric vibrator providing vibration parallel to the screen; wherein

the piezoelectric vibrator defines a projecting element opposed to the baffling section of the screen for providing abutting against the baffling section.

2. The haptic feedback apparatus as described in claim 1 , wherein the piezoelectric vibrator has a magnetic layer and two magnets attached to the magnetic layer.

3. The haptic feedback apparatus as described in claim 1 , wherein the projecting element is made of magnetic material.

4. The haptic feedback apparatus as described in claim 1 , wherein the baffling section abuts against the projecting element in an initial state.

5. The haptic feedback apparatus as described in claim 1 , wherein the baffling section keeps a distance from the projecting element in an initial state, and, the distance is shorter than minimum vibrating amplitude of the piezoelectric vibrator.

6. The haptic feedback apparatus as described in claim 1 , wherein the case defines a pair of steps therein for being assembled with two ends of the piezoelectric vibrator.
