Abstract
According to the present invention, air conduction sound and human body vibration sound (e.g. bone conduction sound) are transmitted to a user without a need for pressing a vibration body itself to an ear. An electronic deviceof the present invention includes: a panel; a housingconfigured to support the panel; and a piezoelectric elementattached to the panel. The panelis deformed due to deformation of the piezoelectric element, and air conduction sound and human body vibration sound are transmitted to an object that is in contact with the deformed panel
