Abstract
A vibrator support structure, a vibration motor including the vibrator support structure, and an electronic device including the vibration motor are provided. The vibrator support structure includes a housing, a vibrator, and a first support member. The vibrator is slidable in a first direction Dand a second direction Dthat crosses the first direction D. The vibrator is supported within the housing by the first support member, which includes a first deformation portion and a first engagement portion. The first deformation portion undergoes elastic deformation associated with vibrations of the vibrator in the first direction D. The first engagement portion engages with the vibrator in such a manner that the vibrator produces a sliding motion associated with vibrations of the vibrator in the second direction D
