A low-profile ultrasonic wave generation device is provided that includes a drive unit having a piezoelectric member and an electrode formed on a surface of the piezoelectric member. The drive unit as a whole vibrates flexurally. The connection member is connected to a portion of the drive unit that includes a point of maximum displacement of the drive unit when the drive unit is subjected to flexural vibration. The vibrating unit is connected to the connection member. The vibrating unit vibrates due to the flexural vibration of the drive unit being transmitted by the connection member and thereby generates ultrasonic waves.
