Abstract:
Provided is a capacitive transducer drive device capable of adjusting a potential difference applied between electrodes of a cell with a simple configuration. A capacitive transducer to be driven by the drive device includes a cell including: a first electrode included in a vibrating membrane; and a second electrode formed to oppose the first electrode through intermediation of a gap. One of the first electrode and the second electrode of the cell is electrically connected to a first DC voltage applying unit, and the other of the first electrode and the second electrode of the cell is electrically connected to a second DC voltage applying unit. A voltage to be applied by the second DC voltage applying unit is set to be lower than a voltage to be applied by the first DC voltage applying unit. The voltage to be applied by the second DC voltage applying unit is variable.

Claim (Index 16):
An object information acquiring device, comprising:\n the drive device for a capacitive transducer according to  claim 13 ; a light source; and a data processing device, wherein the capacitive transducer is configured to receive an acoustic wave generated by light that is oscillated from the light source to irradiate an object, and convert the received acoustic wave into an electric signal, and wherein the data processing device is configured to acquire information on the object by using the electric signal.
