Abstract:
A drive signal output section of a vibration generator outputs a one-shot drive signal, as a first drive signal, that rises on a positive side when a vibrator is vibrated, that has a voltage changing on the positive side, and that applies force to move the vibrator or a vibration target vibrated in conjunction with the vibration of the vibrator in a first direction, and thereafter, outputs a one-shot drive signal, as a second drive signal, such that a timing when a movement of the vibrator or the vibration target peaks in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction coincides with a timing of start of rise of the signal, so as to increase amplitude of the vibration of the vibrator or the vibration target by the one-shot signal that is not displaced on a negative side.
