A piezoelectric electro-acoustic transducer which includes a diaphragm having a piezoelectric property, a base plate of a stiff material, and a resilient backing member which is compressedly covered at one side with the base plate and brought into contact at the other side with the diaphragm to provide the diaphragm with resiliency and/or tension, characterized in that the base plate is provided at one side adjacent said backing member with a surface which has a concave and/or a convex curvature to provide the diaphragm with different suitable pressures through said backing member, whereby it has become possible to improve the frequency characteristics, particularly, the low frequency characteristics of the transducer and a high conversion efficiency thereof.

Piezoelectric diaphragm electro-acoustic transducer

An electro-acoustic transducer with a piezoelectric diaphragm which is backed with a plurality of different resilient members for imparting a suitable resiliency and/or tension to said diaphragm to highly improve its acoustic characteristics with a simple construction.

Piezoelectric electro-acoustic diaphragm transducer with composite

A piezoelectric electro-acoustic transducer employing as a diaphragm a uniaxially stretched film of a shape having the major axis and the minor axis, wherein the expansion-contraction direction of the diaphragm, in which a piezoelectric constant is at a maximum, is substantially in parallel with the minor axis thereof, whereby the piezoelectric electro-acoustic transducer can provide a high converting efficiency, especially in the low frequency range.
