    摘要: In an embodiment, a multilayer piezoelectric element includes a multilayer piezoelectric body and multiple internal electrodes. The multilayer piezoelectric body has a pair of principal faces in a first-axis direction, a pair of end faces in a second-axis direction crossing at right angles with the first-axis direction and defining the longitudinal direction, and a pair of side faces in a third-axis direction crossing at right angles with the first-axis direction and second-axis direction. The multiple internal electrodes are placed inside the multilayer piezoelectric body and stacked in the first-axis direction. Among the multiple internal electrodes, a center internal electrode placed at the center part of the multilayer piezoelectric body is such that its first cross-sectional shape, as viewed from the third-axis direction, has undulations greater than the undulations of the second cross-sectional shape of the center internal electrode as viewed from the second-axis direction.

    摘要: A multi-layer piezoelectric ceramic component includes: a piezoelectric ceramic body having a cuboid shape having upper and lower surfaces facing in a thickness direction, first and second end surfaces facing in a length direction, and a pair of side surfaces facing in a width direction; first internal electrodes formed in the piezoelectric ceramic body and drawn to the first end surface; second internal electrodes formed in the piezoelectric ceramic body and drawn to the second end surface; a first terminal electrode formed on the first end surface; and a second terminal electrode formed on the second end surface, the first and second internal electrodes each having a width equal to a distance between the pair of side surfaces, at least one of the pair of side surfaces including a groove extending in non-parallel with the length direction.
