Abstract

The invention discloses a piezoelectric speaker, including a substrate with a cavity therethrough a supporting structure covering the cavity a first drive structure stacked on the supporting structure, including alternately stacked first electrode layers and first piezoelectric layers a transmission structure stacked on the first drive structure, and a separation slot penetrating the supporting structure and the first drive structure to separate the first drive structure into a first piezoelectric driving part and a second piezoelectric driving part. A rigidity of the transmission structure is less than or equal to a rigidity of the first drive structure, and the rigidity of the first drive structure is less than or equal to a rigidity of the supporting structure. Compared with the prior art, the sound pressure level generated at the same moment is higher.
