    摘要: A piezoelectric actuator includes: a vibration plate: a first piezoelectric body arranged on one side in a thickness direction of the vibration plate; a second piezoelectric body arranged on a side, of the first piezoelectric body, opposite to the vibration plate in the thickness direction; a first electrode arranged between the vibration plate and the first piezoelectric body; a second electrode arranged between the first and second piezoelectric bodies in the thickness direction, and overlapping with the first electrode in the thickness direction; and a third electrode arranged on a side, of the second piezoelectric body, opposite to the first piezoelectric body in the thickness direction, and overlapping with the second electrode in the thickness direction. The second piezoelectric body covers at least a part of a first end surface, of the first piezoelectric body, which is an end surface in a first direction orthogonal to the thickness direction.

    摘要: A piezoelectric element 10 includes a lower electrode, constituted of a Pt/Ti laminated film, a PLT seed layer, formed on the lower electrode, a PZT piezoelectric film, formed on the PLT seed layer, and an upper electrode, formed on the PZT piezoelectric film. A curve Q1 is a curve drawn such as to pass through a plurality of plotted points, each expressing a PLT (100) peak intensity with respect to a Pt (111) peak intensity according to a substrate setting temperature during forming of the Pt/Ti laminated film. A relationship of the PLT (100) peak intensity with respect to the Pt (111) peak intensity is within a range in the curve Q1 until the PLT (100) peak intensity decreases by 5% from a peak point P, at which the PLT (100) peak intensity is the maximum, and a (100) orientation rate of PLT constituting the seed layer is not less than 85%.

    摘要: A piezoelectric transformer that includes a base and an upper layer supported by the base. The upper layer includes a first piezoelectric layer that includes the portion of the upper layer that is interposed between an output electrode and an intermediate electrode, and a second piezoelectric layer that is superposed with the first piezoelectric layer and includes the portion of the upper layer interposed between the intermediate electrode and an input electrode in at least n vibration portions. Moreover, the input electrode includes multiple input electrode pieces and the output electrode includes multiple output electrode pieces. In addition, wiring lines are routed such that voltages of opposite phases can be respectively applied to a first input electrode piece group and a second input electrode piece group with the potential of the intermediate electrode serving as a reference.
