  • Publication number: 20110163634
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a piezoelectric actuator module. The piezoelectric actuator module includes a flat plate, two or more elastic members, and a piezoelectric element. The elastic members are provided on each of opposite ends of the plate in a longitudinal direction thereof and protrude perpendicularly from the plate in such a way that a first end of each of the elastic members is coupled to an electronic device. The piezoelectric element is provided on a first surface of the plate and transmits vibrating force to the electronic device. The piezoelectric actuator module includes a plate having on opposite ends thereof two or more elastic members, thus being capable of controlling vibrating force by changing the length of the plate and the number of the elastic members, in addition to reliably supporting piezoelectric elements provided on the plate.

An elastic member is provided on each of opposite ends of the plate in a longitudinal direction thereof, and protrudes perpendicularly from the plate in such a way that a first end of the elastic member is coupled to an electronic device. A plate-shaped elastic body is provided on a first surface of the plate. A piezoelectric element is provided on a first surface of the elastic body. The plate-shaped elastic body is provided between the plate and the piezoelectric element, so that the overall spring constant of the piezoelectric actuator module is lowered and thus the vibrating force of the piezoelectric actuator module is increased.

  • Publication number: 20110157035
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an actuator module that improves vibration of a touch screen pad. More specifically, the actuator module is configured to include a plate that is positioned at the lower part of a touch display module in which an image display unit is coupled to the lower part of a touch screen panel, a vibration generator that is positioned at the lower part of the plate and is mechanically deformed by compression or contraction when voltage is applied, and an adhesive layer that bonds the touch display module to the plate and the plate to the vibration generator and generates bending moment by the mechanical deformation of the vibration generator, thereby making it possible to transfer the vibration by the vibration generator directly to the touch screen panel and be designed in an ultra-thin type.

  • Publication number: 20100207470
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a spindle motor including a journal bearing and a thrust bearing, thus preventing the lack of fluid occurring as a result of the evaporation or scattering of fluid, and making it easy to control the injected amount of fluid. The spindle motor includes a rotating shaft having a thrust plate inserted perpendicularly into the upper portion thereof. A sleeve accommodates and rotatably supports the rotating shaft. A plate is provided such that the sleeve is secured to the plate. An inner cap is secured to the sleeve in such a way as to face the upper surface of the thrust plate, and a first fluid sealing part is defined between the thrust plate and the inner cap. An outer cap is secured to the upper portion of the inner cap, and a second fluid sealing part is defined between the inner and outer caps.
