Abstract
An apparatus for producing haptic feedback and an electronic device are disclosed. In an embodiment an apparatus includes a piezoelectric actuator and a mechanical structure, wherein the piezoelectric actuator is configured to modify its extension in a first direction, and wherein the mechanical structure is configured to deform as a result of a change in the extension of the piezoelectric actuator in such a way that an area of the mechanical structure is moved in relation to the piezoelectric actuator in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.
