Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3611938A1] A diaphragm (3) has a plurality of connection pieces (5) disposed on an outer edge of a major surface (3A), the connection pieces (5) protruding outward along the major surface (3A) and being connected to an outer frame (4). A piezoelectric element is layered on the diaphragm (3) and becomes deformed under application of a voltage to cause the diaphragm (3) to vibrate. The thickness of the connection pieces (5) along a z-axis direction is greater than a sheet thickness of the diaphragm (3) in a region on which the piezoelectric element is layered. The connection pieces (5) protrude from the major surface (3A) in the z-axis direction.
