Abstract:
1. A transducer of an ultrasonic diagnosis device, comprising: a backing block; a plurality of piezoelectric elements configured to transmit/receive an ultrasonic signal to/from a target object and arranged in a line on a front face of the backing block; and first and second pluralities of electrode patterns made of conductive material, connected to the piezoelectric elements arranged in the line, and formed inside the backing block to be inclined with respect to the front surface of the backing block, wherein one end of each electrode pattern of the first and second pluralities of electrode patterns is arranged on the front face of the backing block and the other end of the electrode patterns is arranged on a face of the backing block other than the front face, wherein the first plurality of electrode patterns is formed inside the backing block such that each electrode pattern of the first plurality is formed on a first plane inclined in one direction with respect to a second plane that is normal to the front surface of the backing block, and wherein the second plurality of electrode patterns is formed inside the backing block such that each electrode pattern of the second plurality is formed on a third plane inclined in the other direction with respect to the second plane that is normal to the front surface of the backing block.
