Abstract:
A piezoelectric component comprising:at least one piezoelectric resonator adapted to vibrate in a longitudinal vibration mode along a longitudinal axis of the at least one piezoelectric resonator, the at least one piezoelectric resonator comprising a single unitary resonator block including a laminated body of a plurality of piezoelectric layers and electrodes disposed between the piezoelectric layers;means for driving said at least one piezoelectric resonator for vibrating said at least one piezoelectric resonator such that a node point is defined approximately at a center point of the at least one piezoelectric resonator;a supporting substrate having a support surface for supporting said piezoelectric resonator in a manner such that the longitudinal axis along which the at least one piezoelectric resonator vibrates in the longitudinal vibration mode when driven by said means for driving is substantially parallel to the support surface of the supporting substrate; andan elastic material provided between said piezoelectric resonator and said supporting substrate.
