摘要: Provided is an ultrasonic device including a substrate and a vibration plate provided on the substrate and having one or more vibrators configured to generate an ultrasonic wave by vibration. The vibration plate has a movable portion provided with the vibrator and configured to vibrate accompanying with the vibration of the vibrator, and a fixed portion fixed to the substrate. A vibration frequency of a reflected wave based on a wave transmitted from the movable portion and received by the movable portion is outside a vibration frequency band region of the vibrator.

摘要: A piezoelectric element includes a first electrode layer, a piezoelectric layer, and a second electrode layer. The first electrode layer, the piezoelectric layer, and the second electrode layer are stacked in sequence on one another. The first electrode layer has a first part overlapping the piezoelectric layer in a plan view, and a second part at least partially separated from the first part and not overlapping the piezoelectric layer in the plan view. The second electrode layer has a third part overlapping the piezoelectric layer in the plan view, and a fourth part separated from the third part. The fourth part is in contact with the first part and the second part.
