Abstract
A vibration sensor has a first substrate, a second substrate relatively movable by an external vibration while opposed to the first substrate, an electret group having a plurality of electrets that are arrayed in a relative movement direction on a side of one of surfaces of the first substrate, and an electrode group having a plurality of electrodes that are arrayed in the relative movement direction on a side of a surface of the second substrate. The surface of the second substrate is opposed to the electret group. A positional relationship between the electret group and the electrode group changes with a relative change in position of the first and second substrates by the external vibration to output an external vibration detection signal.
