PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve starting performance on a blushless-type vibration generation motor where a detection element of a rotor rotation phase is not used. SOLUTION: The vibration generation motor 1 has a structure, where magnets 3a of a rotor 3 and coils 2a arranged in a stator 2 face each other in the motor axis direction. The angle range or the area that respective magnetic poles occupy for an N pole and an S pole, which are arranged along the motor axis peripheral direction of the magnets 3a, is made different or the angle range or the area that specified magnetic poles on the magnet 3a occupy is made larger than the angle range or the area that the respective magnetic poles other than the magnetic pole occupy. For specifying stop position or the stop phase of the rotor 3 at non-energized time of the coil 2a, a hole 2c or a projection 2d, protruded to a rotor-side, is formed in a stator yoke 2b. The motor can always be started in a compulsive drive mode, from the same stop phase. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
