摘要:
A piezoelectric vibrator which uses lithium tantalate as a piezoelectric material and of which main vibration is thickness shear vibration. The thickness direction of the vibrator forms angle of 0°±5° to the X-axis of a single crystal. The longitudinal direction of vibrator lies, with the X-axis used as a rotation axis, in direction n +57°±2° clockwise from the Y-axis of the single crystal. A ratio L/H of the length L of the vibrator to the thickness H is not less than 15. A ratio Le/H of the length Le of the exciting electrode to the thickness H of the vibrator element portion is 3–6. Accordingly, a vibrator having improved temperature characteristics and a large Q is realized.

In an ultrasonic motor wherein an elastic travelling wave is excited in a vibrating stator comprising a piezoelectric element and an elastic element thereby to drive and a rotor which is disposed to touch the vibrating stator with pressure by friction forces, an ultrasonic motor having high efficiency is obtained. In the present invention, the above-mentioned vibrating stator is substantially disk-type, electrodes being provided to the piezoelectric element are disposed in a form of two sets of concentric circles having different phases with respect to each other in a circumferential direction in which the vibration is travelling, and have a constitution which excites the vibrating stator by flexural vibration modes of second order or higher in a radial direction and of third order or higher in the circumferential direction, and also, are designed so that at least mechanical impedances seen from each electrode become equal. By superimposing standing waves of the flexural vibration which are excited by those two sets of electrodes, the flexural vibration is made to travel in the circumferential direction, thereby to obtain a driving force.

In a sound reproducing apparatus, part of a frequency band where mode-coupled vibration can be excited is regarded as a carrier frequency. A frequency of mode coupling, with a low rate of change in vibration displacement with respect to the frequency, is regarded as a carrier signal so that a signal in an audible band which is outputted from an audible band signal source can be demodulated and reproduced with stable sound pressure in a broad frequency band.

Provided is a sound reproduction device including a loudspeaker and a superdirective speaker. The loudspeaker is configured so that a sound pressure of audible sound produced therefrom decreases as the sound travels farther away from the loudspeaker. The superdirective speaker is configured so that a sound pressure of audible sound produced therefrom has a peak at a predetermined distance from the superdirective speaker, and is configured to use an ultrasonic wave as a carrier wave. The loudspeaker and the superdirective speaker are positioned such that a loudspeaker sound field of the audible sound produced from the loudspeaker and a superdirective speaker sound field of the audible sound produced from the superdirective speaker overlap with each other at a position of a listener.

An electronic component includes a substrate; a piezoelectric material layer supported directly or indirectly by the substrate; a first electrode arranged on a surface of the piezoelectric material layer on an opposite side of the substrate; and a second electrode arranged on a surface of the piezoelectric material layer on the substrate side. The piezoelectric material layer is sandwiched between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first electrode has a smaller surface area than the piezoelectric material layer. A portion where the piezoelectric material layer is exposed from the first electrode includes a portion that is thinner than a thickness of the piezoelectric material layer between the first electrode and the second electrode. Thus, it is possible to configure a resonator with a higher frequency than its ordinary resonance, and it is easy to achieve an adjustment of the resonance frequency of the resonator, as well as improving the yield of the component and enabling the configuration of an electronic component that includes a plurality of resonators of different frequencies.

An ultrasonic motor which achieves uniform contact between the vibrating body and the moving body and features high output transfer efficiency and high reliability, and by which the manufacturing process for the moving body thereof can be simplified and the moving body made lighter.By comprising the moving body of a carbon fiber reinforced resin composite material reinforced by at least carbon fiber, and constructing the moving body with a both-side supported or single-side supported beam construction, elasticity according to the pressure of the ultrasonic motor can be imparted in the direction of pressure of the moving body. Thus, the undulations in the contact surface of the vibrating body and the moving body can be absorbed and stable, uniform contact can be assured, and long-term maintenance of a stable friction condition can be achieved.
