Abstract
Provided are a piezoelectric energy harvester and a wireless switch including the piezoelectric energy harvester. The wireless switch uses energy generated in a piezoelectric energy harvester as a source of driving power, thereby transmitting communications signals to an external electronic device without requiring a battery. In addition, the piezoelectric energy harvester generates displacement in a piezoelectric element through a magnetic force generated in a magnet, thereby generating a constant level of energy when generating the driving power.
