First Claim
Patent Images
1. A composite comprising:
- a film made of a dielectric material and having a first surface and second surface, at least the first surface comprising a surface pattern of raised and depressed surface portions, anda first electrically conductive layer being deposited onto the surface pattern, the electrically conductive layer having a corrugated shape which is formed by the surface pattern of the film,wherein the raised and depressed surface portions have a shape and/or size which varies periodically along at least one direction of the first surface, the raised and depressed surface portions defining a repeated sub-pattern several wavelengths long.

Abstract
A composite for a transducer facilitates an increased actuation force as compared to similar prior art composites for transducers. The composite facilitates increased compliance of the transducer in one direction, an improved reaction time as compared to similar prior art composites for transducers, and provides an increased lifetime of the transducer in which it is applied.

36. A multilayer composite comprising at least two layers of composite, each composite layer comprising:
-
a film made of a dielectric material and having a front surface and rear surface, the front surface comprising a surface pattern of raised and depressed surface portions, and a first electrically conductive layer being deposited onto the surface pattern, the electrically conductive layer having a corrugated shape which is formed by the surface pattern of the film, wherein the raised and depressed surface portions have a shape and/or size which varies periodically along at least one direction of the front surface, the raised and depressed surface portions defining a repeated sub-pattern several wavelengths long. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
