Patent ID: 8810094

Claim:
A linear vibration motor, comprising: a stator having an internal space, with a magnet mounted to the stator; a vibrator comprising a coil disposed at a position facing the magnet, the vibrator being received in the internal space of the stator; an elastic member connecting the stator to the vibrator; a damper provided on a surface of the stator, the surface facing the elastic member; and a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) having a first end connected to the coil, and a second end coupled to the stator, the PCB comprising: a mounting plate fastened to the stator; an elastic part extending from the mounting plate in a spiral direction to provide elastic force; and a contact part provided on an end of the elastic part, the contact part being connected to the coil to apply external power to the coil, wherein at least a part of the elastic member is located between the damper and the vibrator in order that the elastic member prevents the vibrator from directly contacting with the damper, and at least a part of the damper is disposed at a position facing an end surface of the vibrator, in a vibrating direction.
