An electronic apparatus for generating a vibration sound by causing a piezoelectric element to vibrate a member having the piezoelectric element attached thereto in an excellent manner is provided. In particular, an electronic apparatusaccording to the disclosure herein including a piezoelectric elementand a panelhaving the piezoelectric element attached thereto, the electronic apparatus for causing the piezoelectric elementto deform the panelin such a manner vibrating a part of a human body in contact with the panelbeing deformed, and thereby delivering sound, wherein the panelhas a recessformed thereon, and the piezoelectric elementis attached to the recess

Electronic apparatus

According to an aspect, an electronic device includes: a piezoelectric element; a first sound generating unit that is vibrated by the piezoelectric element and generates a vibration sound transmitted by vibrating a part of a human body; and a second sound generating unit that generates an air conduction sound.

Electronic device, control method, and control program

An electronic deviceincludes: a panel; a housingholding the panel; and a piezoelectric elementattached to the panel, wherein the deformation of the piezoelectric elementcauses the panelto vibrate, to transmit human body vibration sound to an object in contact with the panel, and the perpendicular line or normal to the main surface of the paneland the surface of the piezoelectric elementattached to the panelare not orthogonal to each other.

Electronic device

An electronic device in which a vibration generator is attached to a panel allows further improvement in sound pressure characteristics. An electronic device () includes a housing (), a panel () held by the housing (), a vibration generator () attached to the panel (), and a sheet member () between the housing () and the panel (). The panel () deforms due to deformation of the vibration generator () to transmit human body vibration sound to an object that contacts the panel (). A first portion of the sheet member () is joined to the panel (), and a second portion of the sheet member () differing from the first portion is joined to the housing (). Between the first portion and the second portion, the sheet member () includes an area to which neither the panel () nor the housing () is attached.

An electronic apparatushaving a panela housingfor supporting the paneland a piezoelectric element unitattached to the panelthe panelbecomes bent by the piezoelectric element unitin such a manner that a region of the panelimmediately above the piezoelectric element unitin a longitudinal direction thereof is raised higher than a surrounding region, and thus a part of the human body in contact with the panelvibrates and delivers a sound, wherein the panelis attached to the housingby a double-sided adhesive tapeprovided along a periphery of the paneland an adhesiveapplied along the double-sided adhesive tape

An electronic apparatus that generates a vibration sound by vibrating a panel and may operate in an excellent manner is provided. An electronic apparatusaccording to the present invention includes a housing, a first piezoelectric element, a second piezoelectric element, and a panelthat is vibrated by the first piezoelectric elementand the second piezoelectric elementand generates the vibration sound to be transmitted through a part of a human body.
