Abstract:
An electroacoustic transducer includes a piezoelectric speaker and a housing. The piezoelectric speaker has: a first vibration plate with a periphery; a piezoelectric element placed on at least one face of the first vibration plate; and multiple openings that are provided around the piezoelectric element and penetrate through the first vibration plate in its thickness direction that is a first axis direction. The housing has: a supporting part that directly or indirectly supports the periphery; and a sound introduction port that faces the piezoelectric speaker in the first axis direction. The sound introduction port is provided at a position where it does not overlap, in the first axis direction, a first opening having the largest open area among the multiple openings. The electroacoustic transducer can improve the acoustic characteristics of a piezoelectric speaker.
