Disclosed is a sound vibration sensor using a piezoelectric element having a cantilever structure. The sound vibration sensor includes a housing forming an exterior, a piezoelectric element having a cantilever structure installed in the housing, a support structure supporting a fixed end of the piezoelectric element, a weight attached to a free end of the piezoelectric element, and an energizing part configured to transmit an output from the piezoelectric element, wherein the sound vibration sensor comes into contact with a speaker's body, receives vibration of the body generated when the speaker utters a sound through the housing, and amplifies the vibration by the free end of the piezoelectric element to detect the voice vibration of the speaker using a piezoelectric characteristic of the piezoelectric element.

A hybrid actuator is provided in which a piezoelectric element and an actuator are incorporated with each other. The hybrid actuator includes: a housing; a stator secured to the housing and having a coil; a vibrator having a permanent magnet configured to vibrate due to a mutual electromagnetic force with the stator; an elastic member configured to elastically support the vibrator relative to the housing; a piezoelectric element attached to one surface of the housing; and an F-PCB (flexible printed circuit board) applying an electric current to the piezoelectric element and the coil inside the housing. A part of the F-PCB extends outside the housing. Input terminals are formed on the part of the F-PCB which extends outside the housing. The input terminals are configured to receive a vibration signal and an audio signal so that the hybrid actuator can reproduce both the vibration signal and the audio signal.

A bone conduction speaker is provided. The bone conduction speaker includes: a housing forming an exterior; a stator including a pole piece fitted to a bottom of the housing and a voice coil arranged to an outer circumference of the pole piece; a vibrator including a permanent magnet mounted concentrically with the pole piece and voice coil, with an air gap from the pole piece, a weight attached to the permanent magnet to increase a vibration force, and a yoke attached to the permanent magnet and weight; a flexible printed circuit board mounted on the bottom of the housing, part of which extends out of the housing, and configured to transmit a signal to the voice coil; and a bone conduction pad attached to an outer surface of the housing. The vibration of the vibrator is transmitted to a bone of a user through the housing and bone conduction pad.
