AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE
First Claim
1. An audio output device, comprising:
- a first electrode layer including electrodes arranged in a plurality of columns in a first direction;
a second electrode layer provided to a backside of the first electrode layer, the second electrode layer including electrodes arranged in a plurality of columns in a second direction;
a drive layer including a piezoelectric layer provided between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer and a support layer coupled to either a front side or a backside of the piezoelectric layer; and
a support plate coupled to a backside of the drive layer, the support plate having a hollow portion formed in an area corresponding to points at which the electrodes in a plurality of the columns of the first electrode layer and the electrodes in a plurality of the columns of the second electrode layer intersect with each other, respectively.
