Abstract:
Ultrasonic transducers that are capable of generating increased levels of ultrasound, as well as receiving ultrasonic waves with increased sensitivity. The ultrasonic transducers include a back cover, a protective front cover, a backplate, and a vibrator film layer disposed between the backplate and the protective front cover. The backplate includes a plurality of grooves formed on a surface thereof facing the vibrator film layer. Each groove includes upper edges having cross-sectional contours that gradually tend toward the deepest part of the groove to allow a larger area of the backplate to be closer to the vibrator film layer, thereby increasing the resulting electric field, and, consequently, increasing the output power and sensitivity of the ultrasonic transducer.

Claim (Index 1):
A backplate for use in an ultrasonic transducer, the ultrasonic transducer including a vibrator film layer, comprising:\n a first surface configured to face the vibrator film layer; and a plurality of depressions formed on the first surface, wherein at least some of the respective depressions have at least one open end to allow any air trapped in the respective depressions to be released.
