An object is to provide an acoustic generator with excellent sound pressure frequency characteristics. To achieve such an object, an acoustic generator (1) according to one embodiment includes a piezoelectric element (exciter) (5), a vibrating body (3a), a frame (support) (2), and a damper (8). The piezoelectric element (5) receives an input of an electrical signal and is caused to vibrate. The piezoelectric element (5) is mounted on the vibrating body (3a), and the vibrating body (3a) is caused to vibrate by the vibration of the piezoelectric element (5). The frame (2) supports the vibrating body (3a). The damper (8) is provided contacting with both of a pair of two adjacent portions with different stiffnesses in a plan view.

The problem is to reduce variations of sound pressure in the sound pressure frequency characteristics. To solve the problem, an acoustic generator includes a film (3) that is a supporting plate; a frame member (5) that is provided on the outer circumference of the film (3); a piezoelectric element (1) that is provided on the film (3) within a frame of the frame member (5); and a resin layer (20) that is provided on the film (3) within the frame of the frame member (5), and the resin layer (20) including an air bubble (8). By the air bubble (8), a decrease in the sound pressure is prevented, peaks and dips in the frequency characteristics of sound pressure are reduced, and high-quality sounds are generated.

In a piezoelectric ceramic composition including potassium sodium niobate, a transition temperature at which a phase transition between an orthorhombic crystal structure and a tetragonal crystal structure occurs lies in a temperature range of -20°C or higher and 60°C or lower. In the piezoelectric ceramic composition, αt/αo is 0.72 or more, where αo represents a coefficient of linear expansion determined when a crystal structure is orthorhombic in the temperature range, and αt represents a coefficient of linear expansion determined when a crystal structure is tetragonal in the temperature range.

A piezoelectric actuator includes a first active region and a second active region. The first active region is made of a piezoelectric member polarized in a thickness direction and overlaps a midsection of a pressure chamber when viewed in plan through a pressure applying surface. The second active region is made of a piezoelectric member polarized in the thickness direction and closer than the first active region to the pressure applying surface. The second active region extends over both a peripheral section of the pressure chamber and an outer region located outside the pressure chamber when viewed in plan through the pressure applying surface. When performing liquid ejection control, a driver controls intensity of a first electric field applied to the first active region and intensity of a second electric field applied to the second active region such that the time period over which the first active region expands and the time period over which the second active region expands overlap or coincide with each other and the time period over which the first active region contracts and the time period over which the second active region contracts overlap or coincide with each other. The first electric field is more intense than the second electric field.
