    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric film in which a high sound pressure can be obtained in a case of, for example, being formed into a piezoelectric speaker, and a laminated piezoelectric element obtained by laminating the piezoelectric films. The object is achieved with a piezoelectric film including a piezoelectric layer which contains piezoelectric particles in a matrix containing a polymer material, electrode layers which are provided on both surfaces of the piezoelectric layer, and protective layers which cover the electrode layers, in which, in a case where “ratio D of elastic recovery amount=(elastic recovery amount of piezoelectric layer/elastic recovery amount of protective layer)” is determined in an elastic recovery amount measured by a nanoindentation measurement, the ratio D of the elastic recovery amount satisfies “0.27≤D≤1.19”.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an electrical component for a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device, in particular, but not limited to, an electromechanical actuator. In one aspect, the present invention provides an insulated electrical component for a microelectromechanical systems device comprising: i) a substrate layer comprising first and second sides spaced apart in a thickness direction; ii) one or more electrical elements arranged over the first side of the substrate layer, wherein each of the one or more electrical elements comprises: a) a ceramic member; and b) first and second electrodes disposed adjacent the ceramic member such that a potential difference may be established between the first and second electrodes and through the ceramic member during operation; iii) a continuous insulating layer, or laminate of insulating layers, arranged to overlie each of the one or more electrical elements arranged on the first side of the substrate layer; and iv) a passivation layer, or laminate of multiple passivation layers, disposed adjacent to, and at least partially overlying, each of the one or more electrical elements so as to provide electrical passivation between the first and second electrodes of each of the one or more electrical elements; wherein: a) the passivation layer, or at least an innermost layer of the laminate of multiple passivation layers which is disposed adjacent each of the one or more underlying electrical elements, is discontinuous; and/or b) the laminate of multiple passivation layers is recessed at a side which faces away from each of the underlying electrical elements, wherein a recess is provided in a region overlying each of the one or more electrical elements, such that the laminate of passivation layers is thinner in a thickness direction across the recess compared to other non-recessed regions of the laminate of passivation layers.
