Abstract:
A piezoelectric element and piezoelectric vibration module include a piezoelectric material having a plurality of piezoelectric layers laminated thereon and internal electrodes laminated alternately with the piezoelectric layers, respectively. Among the plurality of piezoelectric layers, a magnitude of applied electric field on a piezoelectric layer located at one end is smaller than a magnitude of applied electric field on a piezoelectric layer located at the other end.
Abstract:
A piezoelectric element and a piezoelectric vibrator having the same are disclosed. A piezoelectric element according to the present invention includes: a plurality of ceramic piezoelectric layers configured to contract and expand according to supply of electric power; an electrode pattern constituted with electrodes laminated alternately with the plurality of ceramic piezoelectric layers; and a flexible layer formed on a surface of an upper-most electrode of the electrode pattern so as to protect the upper-most electrode and configured to prevent a crack from occurring by contracting and expanding according to contraction and expansion of the ceramic piezoelectric layers.
