Abstract
To improve both of the mechanical reliability and electrical reliability of an electronic apparatus including a piezoelectric body, a vibrator, and a vibration wave motor. The piezoelectric body is configured by bonding a piezoelectric element and a flexible printed circuit substrate FPC, a coverlay has an end N made up of a first outline part and a second outline part that intersect with wiring layers, the first outline part coming in contact with an electrode Fof electrodes F, and the second outline part coming in contact with another electrode of the electrodes F. Length Lfrom an outer-shape line M of the piezoelectric element that intersects with the FPC to the first outline part is shorter than length Lfrom the outer-shape line M to the second outline part, and the electrode Fis located closer to the outer-shape line than the other electrode of the electrodes F.
