摘要: A method for manufacturing a MEMS sound transducer for generating and/or detecting sound waves in the audible wavelength range and/or in the ultrasonic range, includes arranging at least one piezoelectric element on a support substrate. A diaphragm is formed on the at least one piezoelectric element. In forming the diaphragm, a flowable and curable polymer, which forms the diaphragm after curing, is at least partially cast around the at least one piezoelectric element. The invention further relates to the MEMS sound transducer formed by the method.

摘要: A manufacturing method for multiple MEMS sound transducers includes manufacturing a reconstructed wafer, separating multiple chips from the wafer, and encapsulating the chips in a molding material. A piezoelectric element of the particular chips is exposed to become deflectable along a stroke axis. The reconstructed wafer is connected to multiple diaphragms associated with the particular chips, wherein the diaphragms are each connected to the associated piezoelectric element so that the diaphragms are each deflectable together with the at least one associated piezoelectric element along the stroke axis. MEMS sound transducers, each of which including at least one of the chips and one of the diaphragms, are isolated. A MEMS sound transducer, which has been manufactured using the aforementioned manufacturing method, is also disclosed.

摘要: A method of manufacturing a MEMS printed circuit board module and/or a sound transducer assembly includes the step of forming a multi-layer printed circuit board by connecting a metallic conductive layer to a plurality of printed circuit board support layers that are laminated together. The method includes the step of forming a multi-layer piezoelectric structure that includes an anchoring area. The method includes the step of turning the anchoring area of the multi-layer piezoelectric structure toward the multi-layer printed circuit board. The method includes the step of laminating the multi-layer printed circuit board directly and firmly to the anchoring area of the multi-layer piezoelectric structure.

摘要: A method for operating a piezoelectric speaker for generating sound waves in the audible wavelength spectrum and/or in the ultrasonic range includes at least partially charging a piezo actuator of the piezoelectric speaker with electrical energy of an energy unit and then at least partially discharging the piezo actuator. The method also includes determining at least one present electrical piezo actuator voltage of the piezo actuator. A future input voltage for the piezo actuator is compared with the present electrical piezo actuator voltage prior to charging and/or discharging, and a future differential voltage is derived therefrom. Furthermore, an embodiment of the method can include returning a part of the energy needed to charge the piezo actuator to the energy unit during discharging.

摘要: In one aspect, a sound transducer unit includes at least two magnet units having a permanent magnetic field and further includes at least two acoustic units. Each acoustic unit has a diaphragm that is deflectable along a stroke axis for generating sound waves. The sound transducer unit also includes a coil arrangement provided in association with each acoustic unit, wherein the coil arrangement is configured to be supplied electric current such that the diaphragm is deflectable along the stroke axis. The at least two magnet units and the at least two acoustic units are arranged alternatively one above the other.

摘要: Eyewear for outputting audio information to the wearer include an eyewear temple, which has at least one loudspeaker. The eyewear temple is configured for placement on an ear of the wearer and spaced apart from an ear opening of the wearer's ear so that the sound waves generated by the loudspeaker are transmitted over the surroundings to the spaced ear opening. The loudspeaker is an ultrasonic loudspeaker. The eyewear has a parametric audio unit that includes the ultrasonic loudspeaker and configured to generate an audible sound beam directed at the ear.
