Abstract
The electronic device can effectively suppress a reduction in sound pressure and an increase in the distortion factor. The electronic device () includes a piezoelectric element (), a panel () supporting the piezoelectric element (), and a housing () holding the panel (). The electronic device () causes the panel () to generate air-conducted sound and vibration sound that is transmitted by vibrating a part of a human body. A buffer material () is disposed between the panel () and the housing ().
