Abstract

An ultrasonic transceiver includes: piezoelectric body including opposing surfaces having first electrode and second electrode respectively, piezoelectric body being segmented into a plurality of elements by groove recessed from a surface having first electrode among the opposing surfaces; conductor electrically connected to first electrode on each of elements. The ultrasonic transceiver further includes reinforcement section provided in a part of second electrode, the part corresponding to a bottom of groove. With this configuration, a decrease in a strength of piezoelectric body in the bottom of groove, which is caused by groove provided in piezoelectric body, can be prevented and occurrence of a crack can be prevented.
