Abstract

A piezoelectric acoustic device capable of permitting an increase in area or space of an operation face section of an electronic equipment required for arranging parts for the electronic equipment, attaining small-sizing of an electronic equipment and minimizing intrusion of water and dust into a front air chamber through a drum. The piezoelectric acoustic device includes a piezoelectric vibrator including a metal vibrating plate and a piezoelectric ceramic element joined to the metal vibrating plate, a casing including a front side wall and a rear side wall arranged on both sides of the piezoelectric vibrator so as to define a space therebetween in which the piezoelectric vibrator is received, and a drum arranged on an outside of the front side wall so as to extend in a direction across the front side wall. The piezoelectric vibrator and front side wall are arranged so as to define a chamber therebetween and the drum is formed therein with a passage in a manner to communicate with the chamber. The drum is so arranged that a center thereof is deviated from a center of the front side wall toward an outer peripheral portion of the front side wall.
