    Abstract: Provided is an electroacoustic transducer capable of reducing the thickness and weight of the entire pillow when a speaker is embedded in the pillow or a headrest, enabling miniaturization of a device by causing the position of the speaker to be close to a position at which the head is placed, and improving the accuracy of signal processing by reducing a load of the signal processing in a case where active noise control is performed, thereby improving a noise reduction effect. The electroacoustic transducer includes: an electroacoustic transduction unit having an electroacoustic transduction film including a polymer composite piezoelectric body in which piezoelectric body particles are dispersed in a viscoelastic matrix formed of a polymer material having viscoelasticity at a normal temperature and thin film electrodes respectively laminated on both surfaces of the polymer composite piezoelectric body, and an elastic support disposed in close contact with one principal surface to bend the shape of the electroacoustic transduction film; and a first cushion layer that is in contact with the electroacoustic transduction film on an electroacoustic transduction film side of the electroacoustic transduction unit to cover the electroacoustic transduction unit and is formed of a three-dimensional solid knitted fabric.

    Abstract: Provided are a laminated piezoelectric element and an electroacoustic transducer capable of obtaining high piezoelectric characteristics and easily ensuring an electric contact to an electrode layer. A plurality of layers of piezoelectric films, each of which is formed by laminating a first protective layer, a first electrode layer, a piezoelectric layer, a second electrode layer, and a second protective layer in this order, are laminated. Each of the piezoelectric layers is polarized in a thickness direction. In each of the piezoelectric films, the first electrode is disposed on an upstream side in a polarization direction of the piezoelectric layer, and the second electrode is disposed on a downstream side. Each of the plurality of piezoelectric films has a cemented portion which is cemented to an adjacent piezoelectric film and a protruding portion which is not cemented to the adjacent piezoelectric film and in which at least the first electrode layer and the first protective layer or the second electrode layer and the second protective layer protrude from the cemented portion toward the outside in a plane direction. At the protruding portion of each of the piezoelectric films, at least one of a first contact, to which the first electrode layers of the piezoelectric films are electrically connected to each other, or a second contact, to which the second electrode layers of the piezoelectric films are electrically connected to each other, is formed.
